[humming tunelessly]

[snickers]

[whispers] Hi Nick!
Did my Mom see you?

[whispers] Don't think so
Sally, I was super sneaky!

Good.
Because this is my...

shhhh...
secret flower!

Your mom will be so
surprised when it's

big and tall and beautiful!

But right now it looks sad.

Maybe it needs more water.

[giggles]

Getting a little wet here!

Lucky I brought my umbrella.

[whispers]
It's the Cat!

[whispers]
The Cat in the Hat!

[whispers]
Why are we whispering?

That's a secret
flower for my mom.

[gasp; laughs]

Ahhhh!

But Cat, our flower
isn't growing very well.

Hold your watering cans!

I know just the
person to help!

Who?Who?

Finola the farmer!

She knows all about
growing things.

Can we go see her?

Of course!

Your mother will not
mind at all if you do!

Yay!
[giggles]

Mom, can we go to
Finola's Farm to get

some help for Sally's
secret flower?

Finola's Farm?
[laugh]

You cockadoodle can do!
Have fun now!

We can go!We can go!
We can go!We can go!

I know!
I know!

To the Thingamajigger!

Yee Haw!

I can't wait to play my
new fiddle for Finola.

Here we are!

Finola's Farm!

Weeee!

Helllooo!

Finola!

Well hi-dee-ho!

If it isn't my pal Cat!

Hi Finola!

I brought my friends,
Nick and Sally along!

Hi Finola!Hi Finola!

I'm here too!

Like my new fiddle,
Finola?



I fiddly-diddly do,
Fish!

What brings you
lil' grasshoppers

to this corner of the cob?

I'm trying to
grow a secret flower.

But it looks a little sad.

Flap my jacks.
I've got the same problem.

See this beautiful,
healthy corn?

Now, look at those
corn st*lks yonder?

They just ain't
growin' right.

Like my flower.

The only one who can
help my corn is...

Diggery the
Secret Super Digger!

Who's Diggery?

Only the most important
worker on the whole farm!

Diggery!
Oh, Diggery!

Yoo-hoo!



Have no fear Diggery The
Secret Super Digger's here!

He's a worm!

A super-duper worm!

Diggery!

This slow-poke corn just
ain't growin' right!

Want me to do some digging?

Sure do.

What do you dig with?

I don't see a shovel.

Heh - I use my
mouth of course!

[eating sound]

Cool!

Eugh!

Do not do it,
do not eat dirt!

It's sure to make
your stomach hurt.

But it's okay for worms.

Mmmm! Secret super
diggers love dirt!

Can you take my friends along
and show them what you do?

Enh - They're a little big for
my line of secret super work.

Not for long!



Hey Nick, flip the
thrilla-ma-driller!

[laughs]
[honk]

Ya-hoooo!
- Yay!



Sally, press the
shrinkamadoodle!

[laughs]



Follow that worm!

[gasp] I saw him going
down that worm hole!

Let's go!



[gasp]
There he is!

[eating sounds]

Diggery!
We're right behind you!

Hold up!
ROCKS!

[Big gasp]

That rock's
blocking the way.

He'll never dig through it!

But Diggery can go under it.

Follow me!



Awesome!
Yes!

Wow!

This tunnel is much wider.

It's not just us
worms underground.

Moles are super diggers too.

This is one of their tunnels.

Here we are super diggers
- slow-poke corn overhead!

Wow!

Are those roots?

They sure are!

Plants have roots -
they're a little like feet,

They need these "feet"
to drink and eat!

But these roots
feel really dry.

Maybe the roots aren't
getting enough water.

It could be!

Finola's slow-poke corn needs
food and drink right now.

Time to get digging!

[eating sounds]

A Tunnel gets a worm
from here to there,

It also gives corn
more water and air!

I get it!
Diggery's tunnels let

water and air down
to the corn's roots.

Mmmm.

This is a big job - even for a
secret super digger like me.

We'll help!

Ah ha!
We can use these!



Yee haawwww!





Wooooo!
[laughs]

Weeeeeeeeeeee!

[happy sounds]
- Awesome!

Cool!

Where did all that
water come from?

Finola's watering her corn!

And our tunnels helped the
water get to the roots!

We did it!
We saved the corn!

Wait a minute...There's one
more thing Finola needs!

More digging?
- No.

The super diggers top,
top secret is

[Whispered]
Worm poop!

Worm poop?

Ahhh,
but WE call it compost!

Ewwww.

Ewwww to you!

But compost's mighty
yummy to plants!

It will make Finola's
slowpoke corn

grow up big and beautiful!

Give me a meal -

vegetables, plants,
paper, anything -

and I'll turn it
into compost.

So we need to find
Diggery stuff to eat...

Like a worm restaurant!

A restaurant for worms
- a classy venue,

Who better to build it than
Thing One and Thing Two?

[whistles]

Hello!



Yummy!



Ouch!



That's what I call
a great worm restaurant.

Hmm...Mind if
I b*at the rush?

Mmmmmm!
Rotten tomatoes!

[eating noises]

Look!
More worms!

And they all make compost
to help the corn grow!

We must tell Finola.

Hi-diddly-ho!

Diggery dug tunnels
to get air and water

to the roots of your corn.

And now he and his friends
are making compost.

But the corn looks
just the same!

It takes time for Diggery to
make the compost and some more

time before the compost
helps the corn...

...but soon it'll be as
good as these beauties.

Can Diggery come to our
back yard and help us?

You look around and I reckon
you'll find some

secret super diggers
of your own.

Just give them a good feed.

Then they'll dig tunnels
and make compost!

And you'll have the
happiest of flowers!



♪ The earthworm digs,
way down below ♪

♪ Now watch this
corn field... ♪

♪ Grow! Grow! Grow!



♪ Compost helps
the corn to grow, ♪

♪ We say Diggery...
Go! Go! Go! ♪



Wherever there's soil in
need, worms will be there!

[all together]
Hooray!

Bye Finola!

Bye Diggery!

Y'all come back now,
y'hear!

Bye!

[honk honk]



Hey!
I see a worm!

Hi,
little worm.

Can you, please, help my
flower's roots

get more water and air.

And make plenty
of compost too!

Let's find some
food for it to eat!

I have it here - a bin full of
rotten fruit and old leaves.

Our own restaurant for worms!

Oh Worms!

Come and get it!

Shhh, it's still a secret
flower for my mom.

Here come your super
secret diggers!

[whistling]

[gasp]

[whistling]

Wow!
Listen to that WHISTLE!

Oh,
that's the mailman.

He always whistles
such a nice tune.

Morning!
Your mail, ma'am.

Thank you!

[whistling]

I sure wish I could
whistle like that.

Me too!

[laughs]

[whistles]

Hey!
It's the CAT!

[laughs]
The CAT in the HAT!

[giggles]

The WHISTLING
Cat in the Hat!

We were just saying how we'd
like to learn how to whistle.

Well, why don't
you give it a try.

Brrrrr.

[laughs] I LOVE
that Brrrr sound!

Brrrr,
Brrr!

Yeah, but
it's not a whistle.

Well, if you want to
whistle really loudly,

then you put your fingers
in your mouth like THIS!

[whistles loudly]
- Whoah!

That IS a loud
whistle, Cat.

But we want to
whistle A TUNE!

Oh,
a TUNE!

If you want to whistle
a TUNE you have

to make a special face.

I call it, the pucker
up and BLOW face!

Ooooooo...
- Ooooo...

Oooo.

Nice puckers,
now BLOW!

Ffffff!

It's STILL not working!

Hmmm.
You're right.

Ah, maybe we should talk
to my friend Rocky Wren.

Isn't a wren
a kind of a bird?

It sure is.

Rocky lives in the fields
beside the Ling-a-Ding Forest

and he knows the secret
of a really good whistle.

Can we go and see him?
- Yes!

Your mother will not
mind at all if you do.

[giggles]
Mom!

Can Nick and I go with the Cat
to visit Rocky Wren

so he can teach
us to whistle!

Sure! Oh, maybe
he'll teach you

to deliver the mail too.
- [laughs]

We can go!We can go!
We can go!We can go!

I know!
I know!

To the Thinga-ma-jigger!



Buckle up!

Here we are!

The meadow beside
Ling-a-Ding Forest!

Let's go find Rocky!

[birds chirping,
singing]

Wow! Listen to
all the BIRDS!

What beautiful whistles!

[birds singing]

Well, they're all
beautiful bird whistles,

but they aren't Rocky Wren.

Rocky Wren?

Did you say you were
looking for...ROCKY WREN?

We sure ARE!

He's going to help us
to learn how to whistle.

May I ask,
do you know him?

He's my DAD!
I'm RICKY Wren!

Ah,
small world huh?

Nice to meet ya,
Ricky.

I'm a friend of your Dad's
- the Cat in the Hat!

Hi Cat!

And this is Sally,
and Nick.

Hi Sally and Nick!

If Rocky is your Dad,
you must be a wren too.

Can YOU teach us to whistle?

Oh, no, no-no-no,
I'm too little,

I'm just a beginner myself.

[quiet chirps]

Oooh!
Pretty!

Yeah, but that's nothing
compared to my...

[bird whistles]

[gasp] That's HIM!
That's my DAD!

Come on!
I'll take you to him!

We'll be back soon Fish.

Okay!

Ahhhh...I could listen
to this all day.

[birds chirping,
whistling]

What's that?

[gasp]
It's a wren!

Really?

That doesn't sound
like a wren's song.

We have different calls
for different reasons.

And that bird needs help.
Let's go.



[bird chirping]

[panting]

[chirping]

Uh-oh.

This mother bird has
lost one of her babies.

Yes!

He fell from the tree and
I can't find him anywhere.

[gasp]
Oh, my!

You should just call him.

That's what MY
mother always does.

I HAVE been calling but, I
can't hear him answer because

my OTHER babies are
making so much NOISE!

Wait a minute.

Our mothers always say

not to talk with our
mouths full, right?

So if we FEED the
other babies...

...they'll stop
making so much NOISE!

That's IT!

But...uh...what
do baby wrens eat?

Bugs and grubs!

BUGS AND GRUBS!

Well,
why didn't you say so!

I just happen to
have a whole HATFUL!

Come on Mama, you can feed
all THESE to your babies.



[quiet chirp]

I hear something!
Shhh!

[quiet chirp]

It's the lost baby bird!



I see him!
He's down in there!

[chirping]

Aww,
how Cu-UTE!

Oh!
You've found my baby!

But how will I get him
back into the nest?

He's too small to fly!

And we can't
reach that high.

Hmmm...[gasp]
...I've GOT it!

[whistles]
[honk honk]

Huh!
What is THAT noise!

Sounds like Thing
one and Thing two.

They'll know what to do!

Hello!

Alright boys!

Let's get that baby
bird back into the nest.





Slowly.

Carefully.



Hooray!

YES!

Ooooh,
THANK YOUOOO!

[chirping]

[fail whistle then clearly
whistles a single note.]

[happy gasp]

[failed whistle then
clearly whistles a single note.]

[giggle]
- Nick, Sally!

You did it!

I know!
I just puckered up and...

[bird whistling]

[gasp]
Wait!

I hear Rocky!

Yep!
That's my Dad!

Wow.
What a song!

Come on!
I'll take ya to him!



Whoooa!

You can see EVERYTHING
from up here.

Dad always likes to sit up
high when he sings

so everyone in the
valley can hear him.

[bird siging]

DAD!

Ricky, my boy! What are
you doing way up here?

I brought some
friends to meet you!

The Cat in the HAT!

Rocky, my old
whistling buddy!

How are ya, this is
Sally and this is Nick.

Hi Rocky.

Hi!

Hi!

Sally and Nick wanna learn the
secret of a great whistle.

Ah, well I can't
blame you for that.

There's nothing like
whistling a really nice tune!

[whistles birdsong]

That's incredible.

So many sounds!

It's a special wren tune.

Only the wrens that live
in this valley know it.

Really?

That's right. We teach
it from father to son.

Right,
Ricky?

Right,
Dad!

Well, we know we can't do the
wren's song like you, Rocky.

But, can you help us learn
how to whistle a tune?

So far we all we
can do is this...

[Sally whistles her
ONE CLEAR NOTE]

[Nick whistles his
ONE CLEAR NOTE.]

Well, sure
I can help you.

But I've been watching you
from up here all morning and

it seems to me you
already KNOW the secret.

We do?

What IS it?

Well, what did you do after
you rescued the baby bird?

[gasp]
WE WHISTLED!

That's the secret!

Whistling over and over again!

Oh,
you mean PRACTICE!

Practice? Well why
didn't you say so!

[tries to whistle]

Right!
Practice!

That IS the secret!

[laugh] I was having
so much fun I forgot!

[raspberry sound, then clearly
whistles his ONE SINGLE NOTE.]

[happy gasp]
I did it.

Wadda whistle!

Whoo-hoo!
- Hooray! Yeah!

A whistling Cat,
now how about THAT!

Now we can all whistle!

[whistles his one note]

[whistles his one note]

[whistles her one note]

Yay!
- Yay!

Wow!
You guys sound fantastic!

[chuckle]
They sure do.

Come on!

We have to get home so I can
show my mom my new WHISTLE!

[whistles]

Oh, but thanks so much for
teaching us the secret!

You actually taught yourself.

Just remember...

It's all about PRACTICE!

Got it!

Bye Rocky.
- See ya Ricky.

Good-bye.
- See you soon.

[chirping]

Whistling is tricky,
it takes time to do,

But if you stick with it
then you'll whistle too.

Wrens make lots of noises
when something is wrong,

But there's nothing as sweet
as their whistling song.



What an awesome day!

We ALL learned to whistle.

Yeah, but I still can't
whistle a tune yet.

Wait a minute.
I have an idea.

Come over here.

I'll conduct you and
we'll make a tune.
