- Well, you guessed it.
I'm still Peg and
this is still Cat.
And these people...
are my grandparents!
- Who love everything
about the sixties.
- We dig those numbers.
- Granddad even made a giant .
See?
- Groovy.
- Which means "cool"
in sixties talk!
- We've also got three new
baby goats on our farm!
- Aw!
- Baby goats are called kids.
- Cute kids!
- Peg!
Before I forget,
we need your help
with this other
new thing we got.
- It's out in the field
by Jeremiah's tree.
- Jeremiah's my
Grandmom's Granddad.
He planted that
tree so long ago.
- It's our family tree!
- And here is our groovy
new Double-Digit Music Machine!
- This thing is so far out.
- You said it, Cat!
- It's supposed to play music
about our favorite numbers.
- But hi-tech stuff
isn't our thing.
- We can't get
a sound out of it!
- And that's a BIG PROBLEM!
- I can totally get
the music machine started,
with the help of this
instruction booklet.
- That thing's no help
at all. Watch.
Step three. Put the blue
plug into the blue hole.
It won't fit!
- Definitely not fitting.
- Because you didn't unwrap it.
- It should say unwrap it!
- It does! Step one!
- Step nine. Adjust the volume.
I turned it way up,
but I don't hear anything!
- Me neither!
- Because it doesn't
have batteries yet!
- It should say
put in batteries!
- "Put in batteries." Step six.
- Oh.
- That's your problem,
grandparents.
You gotta follow
the steps in order.
- Far out!
- And instead of counting
the steps "one, two, three,"
you go "first,
second and third,"
using ordinal numbers.
Like this:
first, unwrap the blue plug.
- Done!
- Second, unwrap the red plug.
- Done!
- Third, put the blue
plug in the blue hole.
- So much easier
when it's unwrapped!
- Fourth, put the red
plug in the red hole.
- Even a Cat can do it!
- Fifth, open the battery hatch.
- OK...
- Sixth, put in the batteries.
Seventh, remove the plastic
shipping protector.
Eighth, press the purple button.
(gasping)
Ninth, adjust the volume.
- All right!
- And th, get ready to rock!
- Groovy!

is here, in the first digit.

in every number in
the seventies is seven.

between the seventies

they start with.

goats the beauty of six.

- Smooth and curvy...
- Curly and cute...

faves: our umbrellas!
- It looks like a circle
when it spins!
- But when you hold
it still, it has...
one, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight sides.
Just like that shape--
- Oh! Oh! Don't tell me.
- An octagon!
- Yeah, I was not
going to say that.
- Octagons are
eight-sided shapes.
- Sounds like those other shapes
that end in -gon. You know.
Something-agon, uh,

uh, tarragon?

- Oh, yeah. It's gonna
be gorgeous out!
- No, no, no!
- Oh, yuck!
- We better start
splashing in these puddles
before it gets all,
ugh, "nice" out.
Woohoo!
- Uh...
- Oh, yeah!
- Heh, heh.
- What's wrong, Cat?
- These puddles are too...
- Deep?
- Deep?
- Deep means something
has a lot of depth. Just like
height measures the distance
of something from
the bottom to the top,
depth measures how far
something goes down.
So you don't want
to jump in puddles
that have a lot of depth.
They're too deep!
But you can't tell how deep a
puddle is just by looking at it.
- So I can't tell which
puddles to splash in!
I've got a DEEP PROBLEM.
(horns tooting)
- That's it, you
umbrella-leaning genius!
We can measure
the depth of the puddles
using the stripes
on your umbrella!
Your tail is at the first,
second, third stripe.
So just dip your umbrella in
and see where the
water comes up to.
If it's deeper
than three stripes...
- It's not for me.
First, second, third,
fourth stripe.
Too deep! I don't
think so, puddle.
