- The parade problem.
Oh, I hope it's not too much

of a problem 'cause I do love
a good parade!

- So I'm Peg and this is Cat,

and we're really excited!
Like so, so excited!

Right, Cat?
How excited are we?

- (deadpan): Pretty excited.
- 'Cause we're about to watch

the nursery school
Halloween parade!

There will be cute kids
in awesome Halloween costumes.

And there might even be some--
- Candy! Candy-candy-candy!

- But first,
Cat and I are gonna play

our favorite of all fall games.

- ♪ Go totally crazy
in the leaves ♪

- Basically, you just jump
in the leaves

and go totally crazy.

- That sums it up.
- Get ready, Cat,

'cause I'm gonna wiggle, jiggle
and squirm like a worm!

- Oh yeah? Well,
I'm gonna shimmy

and shake and slither
like a snake.

- Oh, it's on!
One, two, three!

- Whoopee!
- Woohoo! Oh yeah!

- I'm going totally craaaazy!

- Hey, Peg, you got
a little something...

- A juice box?
How did that get in there?

There are juice boxes
on you too.

Where are they coming from?

(gasping): Someone must have had
a picnic and not cleaned up!

We can't go totally crazy
in the leaves

if the leaves are full of junk!

We've got a BIG PROBLEM!
(musical sting)

Good thing we know what to do
when we see a mess.

- Cover it with leaves?
- Clean it up!

- Right.
- Put these gloves on.

It's not good to touch yucky
stuff with your bare paws.

- Snappy!

- Cat, wait!

- What?
- These juice boxes
are cardboard,

so instead of throwing
them away, we can recycle them,

so they can be cleaned
and used again.

- Got it.
- The recycling bin
is just over here.

Whoops!
- Whoopsie!

- Whoooa!
- Ah!

Recycling is hard.
- We keep dropping

all our piles because these
cartons are different sizes.

- Aaah! You're right!

- But we can make our piles
sturdy if we sort them.

- Uh, you lost me.

- Sorting is when you separate
things based on size

or shape or anything.

If we sort the juice boxes
into big and small,

then our piles
won't fall over.

- I say, let's sort!

- ♪♪ Put the small rectangles
here ♪

- ♪ And the big rectangles
there ♪

- ♪ I see big ones
over this way ♪

- ♪ I see small ones
everywhere ♪

- ♪ Now we're really moving,
we'll be done before you know ♪

- ♪ But I'd rather be a-grooving
with the sorting do si do ♪♪

- I thought you'd never ask!

♪♪♪

OK, Cat, you carry
the small pile

and I'll carry the big pile.

- Ohhh...
- What?

- Can I carry the big pile
just this once?

- No problem!
- No problem? That means...

- Hey, Neighbor Lady Viv
and Ramone,

why so sad?
- I was supposed to help Viv

lead the Halloween parade, but
the kids can't march out here.

- With all this junk on the
ground, there's nowhere
for them to walk.

- I'll have to tell them the
Halloween parade is cancelled.

- But we can't give up
on the parade!

The kids look forward
to this parade all year long!

They can't wait
to show off their costumes.

- And I can't wait
to eat candy!

- There's nothing they love more
than marching around

in the crisp autumn air!

- And there's nothing
I love more

than a crisp candy bar!

- We can't throw in the towel!

- Or throw away the candy.

- The parade must go on!
- The parade must go on!

- Say it with us!

- (all): The parade must go on!
- That's the spirit!

- Peg's right,
if we work together,

we can clean up this mess.
- But we'll have to hurry,

the parade is supposed
to start really soon!

- We need to recycle all this
junk before the parade starts!

That's a REALLY BIG PROBLEM!
(musical sting)

- We'll need more recycling bins
since these are full.

- I'll get some from the school.
- While Ramone's getting

more bins, we'll sort
the recycling.

OK, team, anything
made of plastic goes to Cat.

- Plastic? Fantastic!

- Anything made of metal
goes to Viv.

- cents for beans?
Oooh, what a deal!

- And cardboard and paper
to me! Now, let's sort!

(snorting like a pig)
I said sort, not snort!
Ha! Ha! Ha!

- That makes much more sense.
- Paper.

- Metal.
- Plastic.
- Ooh, a bendy straw!

- Plastic.
- Paper.
- Metal.

- A teaspoon? Ooh la la!
- Metal.
- Plastic.

- A book of submarines!
- Paper.
- Plastic.

- Metal.
- I can't believe these beans!

Plastic.
- Metal.

- Paper.
- Another paper cup?

- Plastic.
- Paper.
- Metal.

- We better hurry up!
♪♪♪

- Umm, Viv, why do you have
so many piles?

- Oh! This is my pile
for pretty metal things.

And this is my pile
of dainty metal things.

And this is my pile of things
that once contained beans.

Ha! Ha!
- That's great sorting, Viv,

but we're in a big rush!
Just one metal pile, OK?

- If you insist.
♪♪♪

- Viv, are those bottle caps
on your ears?

- Some things
are just too pretty to recycle,

so I'm reusing them instead.

- So reusing is when you pretend
garbage is jewelry!

- Not exactly. Reusing
is when you use something old

in a new way,
so it's something new.

- Here are the bins for paper,

plastic and metal.

(gasp)

We still have so much junk!

- I'll get some more bins
from the nursery school.

How many do you need?
- I have no idea!

Should I count every bottle,
can and carton?

That will take forever.
- You don't have to count them
all, Peg, you can estimate.

That means,
make a careful guess.

- You can solve problems
by guessing?

- Get out of town!

- (laughing): Yeah!
♪♪ When you're in a mess ♪

- Ooo-weee, we're running
out of time.

We've got to recycle
this stuff fast!

- I'll head to the school.
Call me when you know
how many bins you need.

- Will do, Ramone!
- OK, Cat, let's estimate!

- ! No, uh, !

Uh, !
Estimating is easy.

- Caaat, Ramone said

estimating is making
a careful guess.

You can't just say the first
number that you think of!

- OK, !
- To estimate how many bins

we need, let's compare
the sizes of the piles

to the size of the bins.
The metal pile's

about the same size
as the metal bin,

so I estimate
we'll need one more metal bin.

(beeping)

- Hello, Ramone?
One bin for metal.
- [Got it.]

- Now, this plastic pile
is even bigger,

about as big as two bins.

So I estimate we'll need two
bins for the plastic stuff.

- Two bins for plastic.
- Hmmm...

The paper stack is really big.

I think we'll need
three bins for the paper.

- Three bins for paper.
(truck honking)

- That was fast!
- (Peg): The bins are here!

- One bin for metal.

- It fits!

- Two bins for plastic.

- Those fit too!

- And three bins for paper.

- It all fits!
Yes, honey! Ha! Ha!

- Great estimating, Peg.

- Guessing really
works, I guess.

- To the recycling center!
- You've got it!

- Woohoo! The field is clean,
which means...

the nursery school can have
their Halloween parade!

- Way to go!
- All right!

- Come on, Ramone,
let's go get the kids!

- Parade! I can't wait!

- The marching, the costumes,

the juice containers!
Juice containers!?

- Wuh-oh!
- Oh no,

the kids are on their way,
and the junk is everywhere!

If we don't do something,
the parade will be cancelled!

I am totally freaking out!

Cat's right, I should count
backwards from five

to calm down. Five, four,

three, two, one!
(Cat grunting with effort)

That's it! An arch!
- Huh?

- An arch is that shape
you're making with your back!

You can reuse these juice boxes
by stacking them

into an arch for the parade!

Thanks for
the incredible idea, Cat!

- I arch to please.

- The juice containers
come in blue,

green and purple,
so we can make an arch

that's blue on one side,
purple on the other side,

and green in the middle.
So let's sort!

(Cat snorts.)
- You said sort,
not snort, didn't you?

- Because we know how to sort
and estimate,

we're totally cleaning the park!

- Math really saved our parade!

Hi, I'm Jack O' Lantern

and that's Sammy the Skeleton.
- Bwa-ha-haaa!

- No, you're not.

You're Peg and Cat
being silly on Halloween.

- And you're in
for a total treat,

my space creature pal!

- A total trick or treat.
- You're visiting Earth

for your first Halloween ever!

- I'm so excited, I could cry!
- Hmm?

- There's no reason
to cry on Halloween.

- You get treats.
- But what if some people

got a lot of treats, but
someone else gets hardly any.

- That won't happen, Richard.
We divide the treats up equally.

One for you, one for you,
one for me like that!

So the same number of treats

go into each
of our trick or treat bags.

- But we have to have costumes,
right? So we can get treats.

- Uh-huh! I'm a mailbox.

When people put mail in my flap,
I keep it safe!

- I'm a fire hydrant.

I spray water to put out fires!

- Your costumes are so cool!
What will I be?

- You can be anything
you want, Richard,

thanks to our...
- ♪ Really big box

- You can be a robot.
- Nooo.

- Or a leopard.
- Nooo.

- Or a coatrack.
- Actually, nooo.

Those costumes aren't me.

I've no idea what to be,
and it's trick or treat time.

I've got a BIG PROBLEM!
(musical sting)

Hmmm...
- Don't cry, Richard.
- No, no, no, no, no! No-no-no!

- But I'm gonna solve
this problem all by myself.

So you guys wait outside...
- Really?

- ...as I create a costume

that will totally
take you by surprise,

maybe even scare you!

Mwa-ha-ha!
- Maybe you will
scare us, Richard.

- Hee! Hee! Hee!
- Just maybe you will. Heh! Heh!

- I could make a costume
out of these,

but that's what
they're expecting, so maybe

I'll make a costume...

out of that metal stuff! Whoaaa!

Help! I look funny.

I'll go show Peg and Cat.

(Richard humming)

- Richard's taking
a while, right?

- I don't see him in there.

- Roarrr!
- Whoa-oh!

- Great tiger costume, Richard!

You almost made Cat think
there was a real tiger

right on our front steps.

count backwards from five

to calm down.

get our treats back?

I better count backwards too.

- Two.
