- Hey, what's in the box, Nick?
- Something my grandpa sent me
in the mail.
And I think I know what it is.
Yes!
He found a mail car
for my trainset.
- Mail car?
- In the olden days,
when a train went
past the station,
this little arm would catch
the bag of mail.
- Do you think this model works
like the real thing?
- Only one way to find out.
- Oh, let me down!
I want to see!
- I'll help you out.
Hey! Don't get rid of the box.
- Why not?
It's too small to be good
for anything.
- And what is wrong with small?
- [giggles] Nothing.
It's a great box.
I'm sure it's the right size
for something.
There, that fits nicely
in Tiny Town Station.
- Okay, the mail car's on.
[gasps] Check out the little
mailbag it came with!
- Aw, it's so cute.
- It hangs up here
on this hook.
And when the mail car goes by,
it grabs it.
Oops. Dropped it.
It's fallen between
these barrels,
and now it's stuck.
- Did someone say stuck?
both: Cat!
- Oh, you have a model train.
[grunts]
Can I play? Can I? Huh?
- Hi, Cat.
Sure you can play.
- So, what's
the train carrying?
Is it logs? Passengers?
Dinosaurs?
[chortling]
- And mail, but I dropped
my mailbag,
and it's stuck between
these barrels.
- Hmm, let's see.
I'll measure it. Aha.
So, this space between
the barrels is one stripe wide,
but your fingers are
three stripes wide.
They're too big for the job!
- That's a problem.
- It sure is.
Mail is very important.
We simply must deliver it.
- Okay, but how do we get
the mailbag out?
- There is one way.
But we'll have to take a little
trip in the Thinga-ma-jigger.
Your mother will not mind
at all if you do.
- Mom, can we go with
the Cat in the Hat
to help deliver the mail?
- Of course. The mail
must get through. [chuckles]
- We can go, we can go!
- I know, I know!

- That's 'cause

This train is ready to roll.
It... won't... move!
Oops. [giggles] I forgot
it's just a model train.
Nick, how do we make it go?
- Ah, I forgot.
The on switch is way over there

One of us has to stay behind
to work the switch.

- Not it!
- Not it!
- Not it! [laughing]

both: Uh-oh!

get so high up?
- It didn't get higher.
We got shorter.
Too short to jump down.
- But if we can't get back
to the Thinga-ma-jigger,
then how can we get big again?
- There's got to be a way.
Maybe we just need
the right tool for the job.
- Yeah, something to get us
from a high place
to a low place.
- Like stairs or an elevator.
- Or, [gasps] a ladder!
- [gasps] The track does
look like a ladder.
It's nice and long.
- Yeah, it's almost as long
as a train car.
Let's try it.
[ladder creaks]
both: Uh-oh!
[clank]
- Whoopsie.
Looks like that tool
is a little too short
for the job.
- We need a longer tool.
- [gasps] What about
the pretend logs?
- Are they long enough?
- Hmm. The log is shorter
than the train car.
- And the piece of track
we used
was almost the same length.
- So we still need
something longer.
- Well, that's just great.
We're stranded here stuck
small, forever.
- Fear not, Fish.
We'll think of something.
Hmm, now what's longer
than a train car?
- [gasps] I know.
Come on!
What's longer than a train car?
- [gasps] The box it came in!
Because the car had to fit
inside the box.
And it's only made
of cardboard.
So, we should be able
to carry it.
[all grunting]
- That's it!
- It's long enough!
- We did it! We found
the right tool for the job.
- It's also the most fun
tool for the job.

- We need something that's
the right size to grab it.
- Well, why didn't you say so?
[laughs] I have a whole hat
full of grabbers.
I got tongs.

A small tool for a small job.
There.

Four giant steps.
Okay, what do you got, Sally?

- You take the other end, Nick,
and see if it goes all the way
to the tree.
- It reaches!
- Yes!
It's one jump rope from
the wagon to the tree.
So, there's two
different ways to--
- Wait, I just thought
of another way.
We can measure in wagons.
- How?
There's only one wagon.

over and over.
See, if we do it this way,
then we can measure one...

Where did you get those sticks?

Mom's vegetable garden.

- Just three? Three sticks
isn't enough to build anything.
- You're going to need more.
- Lots more.
- More what?
I hope it's fun, fun, fun.

to spare?

building a ramp?

Let's try!
There you go. Try that.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Whuh!
- It wobbles too much.
- And I think it needs
to be wider.
- [gasps] Maybe if we add
a stick on each side,
it'll be wide enough.
- Great idea!
- There.
- It's wide enough.
But it still wobbles.
What if we tie it
together?
Does anyone
have any string?
- String's one of my
favorite things.
I just have to remember
where I put it.

Ah!
There it is.

Thank you so, so much!

Happy trails.
- Bye for now!

life easier for someone.
And it only took one,
two, three sticks.
- Three? Is that all?
For such a good feeling?
Ah, imagine that.

What's up?

It's the world's first
Shapes Mobile

- Wow, that's so cool.
- I hate to mention this,but...
it looks a little
lopsided.
- Oh, I was hoping
you wouldn't notice.
Oh, if I had just one more
shape, it'd be perfect.
- So, why don't you just
make the last shape?
- Oh, I would, but I can't find
any sticks.
I looked and I looked, but
there were none on the ground.
- Oh, I'm sorry. I guess we
picked them all up.
- We have more than
enough for ourselves.
How many do you need?
- Oh, um, well, only
one, two, three sticks.
- Just three?
- You got 'em.
- What? You'd give me
three whole sticks?
- Sure, but what can you build
with only three sticks?
- My favorite shape of all.
One, two, three.
- It's a perfect triangle.
- Um...
[chuckles] You wouldn't happen
to have any string, would you?
- Yes, I do. I know I have some
more around here somewhere.

three sticks.

It's tipping over!

Please tell me this
isn't happening!
No!
- Your beautiful mobile.
- Oh, so much for the world's
first Shapes Mobile
built by a dragon.
That was me.
- Why did it fall over?
- It looks like this one pole
wasn't strong enough
to hold up the mobile.
- It needs something
to help it stay up.
- Yeah, more support
to make it stronger.
- [sniffling] But that would
take more sticks.
- Hmm.
Would three sticks help?
- Are you kidding?
That's exactly what I need!
- Okay, coming right up.
- Oh, but then you won't have
any sticks left.
- I know. But it is the world's
first Shapes Mobile

That's me!
And... that should do it.
Ta-da!
Huh? Ooh.
- Please, please, please!
[creaking]
- It works!
- Those three sticks
were perfect!
They'll support the pole
and make it strong enough
to hold up my mobile!
- I never thought I'd see
the importance of three.
- Oh, thank you, thank you,
thank you.
I'll never forget
your kindness.
[both laughing]
Aw, yeah.
- I feel warm all over.
- That's a feeling you get
helping others with less.
And it does bring a tear
to my eye,
I confess. [laughs]

You two are great builders.
- Great builders?
- What? We built?
- You built some
wonderful friendships
out of sticks.
- Speaking of sticks,
we're all out of them.
- That's okay, Fish.
We don't need more sticks.
- I thought that was the whole
point of this trip.
- I know, but now I think
three sticks
is enough to build with.
- Let's go find out.
- The ramp was made
with three sticks.
- And the dragon's
triangle shape
was made with three sticks.
- And when we used three sticks
to support the pole
for the dragon's mobile,
it reminded me
of something else.
What if I put these
two sticks together
this way, and you bring
the point of the third stick
together with them?
- Oh, I get it.
- Cat, you don't happen to have
any more string, do you?
- Yes, I do. This time I put
the string around my finger
to remember where it is.
Aha! Here.
[laughing]
- See? Three sticks is exactly
how many we need
to make a perfect
tent shape.
- All it needs is
a finishing touch.
- How cool!
- Thanks, Cat.
- Awesome! Ha, ha!
- Who knew you could build
so much from so little?
- I have an idea who.
- Is there room
for one more?

- Just enough.
