A triangle's got three points,
each connected by a line.
And a line is the shortest
distance between any two points.

let's not get
too excited about
patterns, hmm?
- You remember what happened
last time at Toad Lodge?
- Oh! Toad Lodge!
Oh, you guys got to see
where I grew up -
across the river.
The only safe way
to cross the river
is by hopping on these stones
in a pattern.
Circle, circle, square, square.
You see?
- What happens if we mess up
the pattern?
- Circle, circle, square...
Uh, circle? Oh! Oh!
- You get a wet tuchus.
- Hey, this pattern's different!
- You're right, Cat!
The high-slap,
belly-bump pattern goes
First thing, second thing,
first thing, second thing.
But the river-crossing pattern
goes first thing,
first thing, second thing,
second thing.
- Circle, circle,
square, square.
- Circle, circle,
square... Whoa!
The last square rock
sank into the mud!
We can't finish the pattern.
- If we don't,
I'll get a wet tuchus.
What's a tuchus?
- Your bottom.
- I don't want a wet tuchus.
- This is a BIG PROBLEM!
- Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Oh-oh!
Oh, I got our basket wet.
- But you saved our tuchuses.
by making a square step.

Since every side of the cube
is a square,
we can hop on that square
and get safely
across the river.
