WHOA! This reminds me of

What a fiasco that was!
Better check on the elephant.
Still here!
(elephant snorting)
You sit tight and we'll be
at the circus in no time!
(elephant trumpeting)
- Hi! I'm Peg and this is Cat
and this is Big Dog.
- Ruff!
- And we've got... junk!
- So much junk!
- There's all kinds of stuff
you can do with junk. Like...
Make a new friend
out of a tennis ball.
(low voice): Hello, everybody!
- Or we could do
something less creepy...
and make a seesaw.
- Ruff!
- Good idea!
- I see'd but I can't saw!
- That's 'cause I'm
heavier than you.
To balance, we need the same
amount of weight on each side.
- Mmm?
- That's right, Big Dog!
We can put more weight
on Cat's side, till...
- Goin' down...
- We're balanced!
(bird chirping)
- Woohoo!
- Whoa-ho!
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- Your turn, Big Dog.
- WHOA!
- Take a brick, Cat. Or three.
The seesaw still
isn't balanced.
- Big Dog's weight
is a BIG PROBLEM!
(Big Dog howls.)
- But...
if I add my weight to Cat and
the bricks, we're balanced!
(yelling)
OK, so next,
let's make beds
out of shoeboxes.
- Shoebox bed. So cozy!
- What do you think, Big Dog?
- Drool means he likes it!
- Cat's the length
of one shoebox,
and I'm the length of two.
Now you make a bed, Big Dog.
(Big Dog howls.)
All three boxes aren't
long enough for Big Dog.
He needs one, two more!
- Big Dog's length
is a BIG PROBLEM.
A long problem, really.
- This crate is as long
as two shoeboxes.
If we use three boxes
and one crate,
that's the same as three,
four, five shoeboxes.
A big bed for Big Dog!
- You're not too long
for a bed, Big Dog!
You're just the right--
Oh. Although maybe
a teensy bit too heavy.
(Big Dog howls.)
- But you're not
too big for... a play!
We can act out...
Little Red Riding Hood!
(barking)
- Don't have to ask me twice!
Oh. Big Dog wants to be
Little Red Riding Hood,
whom, they say, is little.
- The costume's too
small for you. See?
Cat's the shortest,
so he'll play Little
Red Riding Hood.
And when you stand on two legs,
you're the tallest.
So you'll play the Big Bad Wolf.
- What's the matter, Big Dog?
Tired of being so long?
So heavy? So tall?
(Big Dog sighs.)
You've got a big problem.
- Ruff!

a REALLY Big Bad Wolf.
My, what big eyes you have.
And what a long nose.

Peg! PEG!
I know I'm a cat,
and I tend to overreact.
Sometimes when you sneeze,
I freak out.
But seriously! Big Dog grew
into a really,
really big Bad Wolf!
- If Big Dog seemed bigger when
he was playing the Big Bad Wolf,
that's just good acting.
- Uh, OK.
- Do the scene again
and this time I'll watch.
- Going to Grandma's house.
Hope I don't run into
any Big Bad Wolves. Especially
the really, really big kind.
AH!

- I'm Peg and this is Cat.
And today we
climbed the beanstalk
to visit the Giants
and meet their brand new...
- Giant baby!
- Shhh!
- She's sleeping.
(baby gurgling)
- Aww...
- She's humongous!
- She's adorable!
- She's... driving us crazy!
- Huh?
- We love our little munchkin
more than anything.
- But with all the feeding...
- ...and the burping...
- ...and the diaper-ing...
- We could really use a break.
- Just a quick walk
around the cloud.
- So we called you guys
to come over and babysit.
- No problem, Giants!
Leave it to us!
- And by "it," we mean "her."
- Great!
- If you need us for any
reason, just call our beeper.
- Beeper?
- You can't be too careful, Peg.
- Push a few buttons on the
phone, the beeper will vibrate,
and we'll come right home.
- What number do we call?
- The number's in the cupboard.
- It's locked!
(chuckling)
- Baby-proofed.
- You can't be too careful, Cat.
- To open the lock, you
need to know the combination.
- Combi-whata?
- Numbers that open the lock.
- "One, two, three."
So, that's the combination?
- Not quite.
- To keep it secret,
we didn't write down
the real combination.
- You can't be too careful, Peg.
- To get the actual combination,
add two to each of
these numbers.
- Wha?
- To add two to each number,
you move two spaces on
the number line, like this.
One, two.
So if we need to open the lock,
we'll add two to each of these
numbers and open the cupboard.
- Where you'll find another
piece of paper with numbers.
- The numbers we
press on the phone...
- To set off your beeper!
- Not quite.
- Ugh!
- We didn't write
down the real numbers.
- Can't be too careful, right?
- Or can you?
- To get the real
numbers to press,
take that piece
of paper in the cupboard,
and subtract two
from each of the numbers.
- Subtract? Like, take away?
- Yep.
To subtract two from a number,
you move two spaces
this way on the
number line. One, two.
- Simple, right?
- Ugh. It's making
my brain melt.
- It is kinda complicated.
I'm not so sure--
- Oh, please, please,
please stay!
- We'll give you
chocolate chip cookies!
- We'll do it!
- Let's sit that baby!
- Thanks, guys! You're the best!

- Got it! You watch the baby
while I open the cupboard!
- Oh, no, you don't!
- To get the combination,
the Giants said to add two
to each of these numbers.
The first number is one.
So we add two. One, two.
One plus two is three!
Next is two.
Two plus one, two is four!
The last number is three.
Three plus one,
two more is five!
So the combination is...
three, four, five!
I got the numbers we
need for the phone, Cat!
- Great! Don't tip
the fishbowl, baby!
But do tip your waiters!
(baby giggling)
Whoa!
- It says "four, five, six."
This time we need to subtract
two from each number.
To subtract two from four,
start at four
and go back two spaces.
Four, take away one, two is two!
- Two! Let go of that
toilet paper, baby!
Aah!
- Next is five.
Five take away one,
two is three!
- Squeak!
- Three!
- Don't touch the
artisanal soaps, baby!
They're mainly for display!
Ooh, lemongrass!
- And six take away one,
