The chicken problem.

Cheep!

Cheep!

- OK, so, Cat and I are on a farm, the sun's shinin',

the farmer's workin'.

Moo!

The chickens are cheepin'.

- We're all set to have a perfect picnic with a pig!

Everybody's gotta have a piece of pie

that's just the right size, because look!

The big piece is waaay too much for Cat to eat.

He'd never finish it, and if he tried,

he'd get a stomachache, right, Cat?

Oh, yeah.

- The small piece isn't nearly enough for me.

I could gulp it down in like one bite and I'd still be totally hungry!

But it's just the right size for Cat!

And the big piece is just right for me!

Everybody's got a piece of pie that's just the right size,

so we're all ready to start our perfect picnic with a pig,

riiiiight?

Wrong! Because LOOK! - Whoa.

- There are one, two, three of us.

but one, two, three, four pieces of pie,

so there's an extra piece and that's a BIG PROBLEM!

One little piece of pie! Just sitting there all alone

with nobody to eat it! Nobody!

Nobody! Nooooooobody!

What? - Hello.

- YES! Now every piece of pie has somebody!

Get over here, you amazing Cat.

You got a chicken! He got a chicken!

Tell everybody how you solved the problem.

I got a chicken.

- You got a little chicken to go with a little piece of pie

and sooo...

- Yeah-ha! - Now we can have

our perfect picnic with a pig!

The sun's shinin', the pie is smellin' sweet...

and the chickens are running wild!

CHICKENS RUNNING WILD?!

Cat! Did you leave the door to the chicken coop open?

Didn't the farmer say not to leave the coop open no matter what

because the chickens'll get out and there are 100 chickens and that's a lot?!

Looks like we've got a REALLY BIG PROBLEM!

We've got to get 100 chickens back into the coop

before the farmer sees! So let's all carry

as many chickens back home to the coop as we can. Ready?

Where's that pig?

OK, I know you're not used to solving problems,

'cause you're a pig, but we've got a job to do,

so let's do this thing!

- We did it! Altogether, we got...

one, two, three, four, five,

six, seven, eight, nine,

10 chickens back into the coop! - Cheep, cheep!

- Now we just have to get... - Whoa.

- There are still so many chickens!

One hundred really is a lot!

It's, like, way more than 10!

Ten is WAY less than 100.

Don't worry, Cat, we'll get those chickens in there somehow!

We won't give up! We won't chicken out! We...

I said "chicken out",

and they're all chickens!

- After the farmer checks the corn,

he's gonna check the chickens! Come on, chickens,

get back into the coop right now!

These crazy chickens think the farm is

a chicken playground! - Cheep, cheep!

Cat! If chickens like games,

let's have a chicken race!

OK, chickens, when I say go,

run to the finish line where Cat is standing.

One, two, three, go!

Cheep?

No!

You chickens aren't supposed to come back out!

YOU chickens are supposed to go in!

These chickens are driving me totally craz-- - Ah!

- Hey, Peg! - Hi, Ramone!

So, you're helping out the farmer today?

- I've invented these new plant foods

to make the farmer's plants grow big, bigger,

biggest!

Yaaa!

That is sooo awesome, Ramone!

- Thanks! - Oh, um, Ramone,

could we borrow those wheelie things you got there

to get the chickens back into the coop?

- The chickens got out? - Yeah, all 100 of them.

- That's a lot! - Yeah, it's, like,

way more than 10, right?

Ramone is so helpful.

He's always there when you need him,

always helping everybody out,

any time, any place, in any way.

He's really, really, really, really helpful.

I do what I can.

- Cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep! - Whoa.

- Back to inventing new farm products!

He sure is helpful.

That's the farmer! Let's push these wheelie things!

Cat? Pig!

Pig?

When you need help solving a math problem, don't ask a pig.

OK, one, two, three, push!

The pig and Cat can't push those big heavy wheelbarrows,

so we can't push the chickens!

When the farmer sees 100 chickens out of the coop,

he'll be mad, they'll be sad, I'll feel bad!

I AM TOTALLY FREAKING OUT!

Cat's right.

I should count backwards from five to calm down.

Five, four, three,

two, one!

The pie! That's it!

You did it again, you amazing genius!

- Mmm? - When we set up the picnic,

everybody had something to eat that's just the right size,

right?

We should make sure everybody has something to push

that's just the right size too!

Cat really is a genius to think of these things.

He should be at some huge university

wearing a bow tie and talking about algebra

and the president and opera and the stock market and--

- Hurry up! Everybody find the wheelie thing

that's just the right size! Go!

Does this look right?

No, Cat's wheelie thing is too big!

Does this look right?

No, both their wheelie things are too big!

Does this look right? YES!

We all have something to push that's just the right size!

So hold on tight, little chickie-chicks.

You're goin' home!

- Cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep!

- Wee-haaa! - Because we put big with big

and small with small, we're totally moving 100 chickens!

Math really saved our tails!

Mm-hmm!

- Cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep!

We're here! Which means...

- Looks like my 100 chickens are safe and snug in their coop.

So... can I join your perfect picnic with a pig?

- Ya sure can! - Cheep, cheep!

- Those chickens were totally crazy, right?

I know!

- They wouldn't stop running all over the place,

and jumping on everything, and standing on their heads, and--

Bouncing on my belly!
