- "The Election Problem."
- Today the farmer's taking
his eggs to market!
Isn't that amazing?
- Yeah! Why?
- Because he lets the chickens
play when he's gone,
and he needs someone
to watch over them.
I'm really hoping
he picks me!
Imagine me, Peg,
in charge of chickens!
Watching over them,
tellin' 'em what to do!
"Don't peck this,
peck that!"
- "No chewing gum!
"Unless of course you brought
some for everybody.
Oh, you did.
Thanks for the gum!"
- It's a lot of responsibility.
but I'm ready for it.
- ♪ Gonna load my truck,
then sell my eggs ♪
- Hey, Mr. Farmer!
Looking for someone
to put in charge
of the chickens?
'Cause I know someone
named Peg, who's me!
- Sorry, Peg, I gotta count
these here eggs first.
And a-one, and a-two...
Hm, better start over.
- This is taking forever!
We've got a BIG PROBLEM!
- Cheep.
- Ow.
- Huh?
That's it, you genius cat!
Each container holds five eggs.
If we count the eggs by fives,
the counting'll go super fast!
- Countin' by fives?
What's that?
- It goes like this!
♪ Five, , , , , ♪
Hey, I just noticed something!
♪ When you count by fives, the
numbers end in five or zero ♪
- ♪ Five or zero ♪
- ♪ Well, get on outta here-o ♪
- ♪ Thirty, , , , ♪
- Hot diggity!
I got eggs to sell!
- All the eggs are counted!
And so...
♪ Problem solved,
the problem is solved ♪
♪ We solved the problem,

- Now who's gonna take charge
of these chickens
while I'm gone?
- Right here!
- Not so fast, Peggy.
Anybody else want the job?
- Bahhh.
- Moooo.
- The pig?!
He's only standing there 'cause
he's too lazy to walk away!
- Pig, do you want to be
in charge of the chickens?
I never seen him so excited!
You can't both be in charge,
so let's have an election.
- But isn't an election
where people choose who they
want to be in charge by voting?
- People or chickens.
Chickens, who'd ya rather
have in charge?
Peg or the pig?
Just sit by either picture
to vote for who you want.
- One, two, three, four
votes for me.
And one, two, three, four, five
for the pig?
Four is less than five,
so the pig is winning!
Come on, chickens,
vote for me!
Why are they just sitting there?
- Oh, the chickens always
take their time decidin'
who to vote for.
- They've had elections before?
- Check out some
of their past leaders.
- Oh, they got Ramone!
- But they've always wanted
to elect someone who lives
on the farm.
- The pig lives on the farm,
so he has a way better
chance of winning!
We've got
a REALLY BIG PROBLEM!
But I'm not giving up!

"more than,"

What just happened?
- Hee-hee-hee! The pig burped.
- Just because the pig burped
doesn't mean he's a good leader!
It means he had tacos for lunch!
So now he's got...

a small town of cows.
How's your election going?
- Not well. The pig's winning
'cause he's doing silly things.
(Pig burps.)
(chickens giggling)
- You need to let the chickens
know who you are
and what you're good at.
- Like what?
- How about counting?
It's even cooler

- And a few are coming my way.

What's that buzzing sound?

- Looks like the Littlest
Chicken's still making
up her mind.
- What if she votes for the pig?
- Then you'll each have .
When you each have
the same number of votes,
it's called a tie.
(Honk! Honk!)
- You got a winner yet?
- What happens
if there's a tie?
- Then I let the hog
decide the winner.
- The hog?!
But she and the pig are cousins.
She'll probably

- Oh, yeah, I definitely will.
- Them's the rules.
- So whoever gets the Littlest
Chicken's vote wins.
- No! She's choosing the pig

and I don't!
- I also like

- I'm about to lose

I should count backwards

Five, four, three,

- Once upon a time,
a girl and her cat
were about to present
a famous fairy tale!
I, Peg, am the girl!
- I'm Cat, the cat.
- And this is the story
of The Three Bears!
- Hey.
- Yo.
- Wassup?
- Hello.
- Wait a minute.
- Once upon a time there were
one, two, three, four bears.
One day when the bears were
about to eat their porridge--
(gasp)
Did I say FOUR bears?
We've got a BIG PROBLEM!
This story is about
one, two, three bears,
but we have four!
That's one bear too many.
- Are you now, or have you
ever been... a chicken?
- I'm a little bitty bear now.
Grr! Grr!
- You look silly in that
bear mask, Littlest Chicken.
- I do?
- You have feathers, not fur.
You live on the farm, not
in the woods. You're not a bear.
- Okie doke! Bye-bye.
- Four bears, take away one--
- Hold on!
Where's it say take away?
- This minus sign.
It means you're subtracting,
or taking something away.
Four minus one is
THREE bears.
- We're THREE bears.
- Much better.
- Sounds good.
- And so...
♪ Problem solved,
the problem is-- ♪
(phone ringing)
- Hello?
You don't say!
- Uh, Three Bears, we're
in the middle of a story here!
- The Three Bears are busy.
But don't worry, story lovers!
Next door is another famous
fairy tale family,
the Seven Dwarfs!
(Cat gasps.)
- (each dwarf): Hi.
- Hello!
- Wait another minute!
- Once upon a time there were
one, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight dwarfs.
(dwarfs yawning)
- One morning
when the dwarfs were--
EIGHT dwarfs?
- One of these things is not
like the others!
- The story is about
one, two, three, four, five,
six, seven dwarves,
but we have eight!
That's one dwarf too many.
- Did you use to be a bear...
who used to be a chicken?
- I'm a teeny weeny dwarf now.
Dwarf! Dwarf!
- You look even more ridiculous
in this mask, Little Chick.
- I do?
- You have a beak, not a nose.
- And you do not have a beard!
- You're totally not a dwarf!
- Okie doke. Bye-bye!
- Eight minus one is
SEVEN dwarfs.
So, one morning, just as the--
- (ringtone): ♪ One, two, three,
four, five, six, seven ♪
- What. Really?
(Dwarfs gasp.)
- Again with the important
phone call.
- Just as our tale's
getting started.
- Have you no respect
for story structure?
- But don't worry,
because next door is...
the Three Little Pigs!
- All right!
- (pigs): Greetings!
- Hello!
- Again?
- Once upon a time
there were one, two, three
little pigs.
- Uh, Peg?
- There are three of them,
so even if one of them is
a little different,
we're telling the story.
They lived in houses
of brick,
straw, and twigs.
- Nice!
- Suddenly, there was
a knock on the door.
(knocking on door)
Shh.
- Little Pig, Little Pig!
Let me in, let me in!
- Said the big bad wolf.
- Big bad who?!
- Not by the hair
of my chinny chin chin!

What brings you

- Oh, Peg, my Littlest Chicken's

I've been lookin' everywhere,

- That was you calling
