Peg and Cat are on a farm having a tea party. They've set up 4 places with 4 cupcakes of different sizes and invited a Pig from the farm to join them. Peg, the biggest, sits by the biggest cupcake. Pig, the next biggest, sits by the next biggest cupcake, and Cat sits by the next biggest. But wait! There's an empty place! There are only 3 of them, but there are 4 cupcakes! They need 1 more guest to take the smallest cupcake! PROBLEM!
Cat finds a very small guest - a chicken, whom he escorts from the coup - to sit at the table by the smallest cupcake and complete their tea party. PROBLEM SOVLED!
But as they star their tea party we see that Cat has left the chicken coup open, and the chickens are getting out. Peg soon realizes that the farmer's 100 chickens are out of the coup and running all over the place! REALLY BIG PROBLEM!
They've got to get these 100 chickens back in the coup! Peg, Pig and Cat each carry one chicken at a time. There are still so many chickens left! So they carry all they can - Peg carries 6 chickens, Pig carries 4 chickens, and Cat carries 2 chickens, 1 in his arms and 1 balanced on his nose. There are still so many left! 100 chickens is a lot of chickens!
When Ramone enters everyone stops to admire how great he looks in his farm hat. Even the chickens stop running around. Ramone explains that he's helping out around the farm, and is now returning a pair of wheel barrows and an old baby carriage to the barn. Seeing all those chickens loose, he suggests they use the wheel barrows and baby carriage to get them back into the coup. And they should probably hurry, since the farmer's almost done with his chore!
When Ramone gets the chickens flock to the wheel barrows and baby carriage. They can't wait to be wheeled around. Peg stands at the baby carriage, the smallest of all the wheeled thingies. Cat stands at the smaller wheel barrow. And Big stands at the larger wheel barrow. Peg starts to push the baby carriage. But Pig and Cat can't push their wheel barrows. They can't even reach the handles! What will they do?
Peg starts to panic. She counts to ten. Cat nibbles on his cupcake.
"The cupcake! That's it!" Peg realizes. When they had the tea party, Peg had the biggest cupcake because she was the biggest, Pig had the next biggest because he was the next biggest... Everybody had just the right size! Now that they're pushing the wheel barrows, Peg is the biggest, so she should take the biggest wheel barrow! Pig should take the next biggest! And cat should take the baby carriage! So they all push the thing that's just the right size and wheel the chickens along. Peg, Cat, Pig and 100 chickens sign a song of celebration, as the chickens are returned safely home. PROBLEM SOLVED!
