- Oh, great, right here.

- Thanks, Molly.

Is that the riddle puzzle
you promised to make us?

- It sure is, Sheira.

- A riddle puzzle?

What's a riddle puzzle?

- Well, it's a puzzle
that you solve by answering

certain questions.

- A puzzle that you solve
by answering certain questions?

Cool.

Sounds like fun.

- It is fun.

And Miss Molly said
if we figure out the puzzle,

something special will happen.

- It sure will.

But you're really
going to have to work at it,

because my riddle puzzles
can be pretty challenging.

- Well, aren't you
going to help us?

- Not right now,
but I will a little later.

- Oh please, Miss Molly.

- I'm sorry, Loli.

I promised my friend
Anna I'd help her with

her party decorations.

Thanks, guys.

- Are you sure you
can't help us now, Miss Molly.

- Not now.

But I will help you as
soon as I get back from Anna's.

- Not now?

Not now?

Hey, maybe
Froggy can help you.

He doesn't look too busy.

- Froggy?

- Okay, Doodles.

I got everything.

- Everything?

You couldn't
have gotten everything.

But I did get everything.

get the bicycle?

- No.

- did you
get the refrigerator?

- No, but...

- ...so,
you didn't get everything.

- No, I guess not.

Gee, I'm sorry, Doodles.

I thought
I got everything, but... hey!

You didn't
ask me to get a refrigerator.

- Aw, forget it.

We've got to get to work.

- Right.

To work.

What are we working on?

- A super-duper
top-secret project.

- Oh, that.

What is it?

- Zippy, you don't expect
me to tell you what our

super-duper top-secret
project is if it's super-duper

top secret; do you?

- I guess not.

Doodles?

- Yeah?

- How come you get
to know what the super-duper

secret project is,
and I don't?

- I can't tell
you that, either.

Not now.

- Why not?

- Come here, I'll tell you.

It's a secret!

♪ music playing ♪

- Can you read
that sentence again, Sheira?

- Okay.

Pretend you're a
zookeeper and you're having

a bad night because
Mervin the monkey went bananas

and let all the animals

out of their cages.

Mervin also liked to
confuse the zookeepers

by taking down the signs
that told everyone what

kind of animal
was in the cage.

Now you have to figure
out certain clues to help

replace the signs
and get the animals back

in their proper cage before
the zoo opens for the day.

- Boy, that Mervin sure sounds
like a silly monkey, huh Sheira?

- I'll say.

- Okay, what's
the first clue?

- Mervin the monkey
gets free sometimes.

He wanders the zoo,
removing the signs.

The round signs
for the elephant,

the square for the ape.

Can you put all the signs
back by matching their shape?

- Oh, that's an easy one.

- Absolutely.

And this sign is square.

See?

All four sides are
exactly the same size.

One...
- ...ribbit...

- two...
- ...ribbit...

- ...three...
- ...ribbit...

- ...four... - ...ribbit.

- Which is the same
as this square sign holder,

which also has
four equal sides.

One, two, three, four.

- All right,
I want to do the triangle.

- Triangles have three sides.

- One...
- ...ribbit...

- ...two...
- ...ribbit...

- ...three...
- ...ribbit, ribbit, ribbit.

- That triangle has three sides.

- Yeah, a perfect
fit for the tiger's cage.

Well, now we're getting this
zoo back in shape.

- Like good
zookeepers should.

- Okay, that takes
care of the signs.

Now, let's put
the animals where they belong.

- Okay, read another card.

- We have a nice
mane and love to roar.

There are more than
two of us, but less than four.

Can you help
us find our cage?

- Squeeky, we need some help
to solve the next riddle

in our puzzle.

- yeah, the answer
is one of our zoo animals.

- Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit.

- Not now, Froggy.

- Well, girls, you know
how much joy you would bring

me to help you, but
I'm simply too busy right now.

How about later?

- Oh, Squeeky, can't you
take a break and give us a hand?

- I can't stop working now.

Uncle Eeky started.

- That's a watch.

- Yeah, you know how everyone's

Well, this watch gets

- Warp speed?

- That's really fast, Loli.

Oh, well.

There's still a

- But how about
the riddle, Squeeky?

- Yeah, it goes like this.

We have a nice
mane and love to roar.

There are more than
two of us, but less than four.

Can you help
us find our cage?

- We know that these missing
animals have a nice mane...

- ...but we're not exactly
sure what a mane is.

- Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit.

- I'm sorry, girls.

I'm kinda,
sorta on a roll, here.

I'd be happy to help
you later, but not now.

enough clues to figure it out,

even if you don't
know what all the clues are.

I'm sure you'll find a

to help unravel
the riddle really soon.

Hey, maybe Froggy
can help you.

He's looking
kind of bored.

- Froggy?

- Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit.

- You know, Froggy,
for a little frog,

you certainly do have
a lot to say this morning.

- Looking good,
looking real good.

- It is?
How can you tell?

- Just look at it.

It's really shaping up now.

- Well, if I knew what it was
supposed to be shaping up into,

I'd let you
know if you were right.

But since
you're being Mr. Top Secret,

I'd have to say it looks
like an alien spacecraft

that crash-landed
in a bathtub.

- Well, think what you want, because you're wrong.

- Well, then,
when will this...

whatever it is...

be done?

- Well, you'll
just have to wait and see.

- Why?

- Because these
things take time.

- What things take time?

- Relax, you impatient

You'll find

- Hi, Zippy, hi Doodles.

- Hey, how would you two
like to help us solve a riddle?

- Sorry, not now.

[MOANING] What?

We're in the middle
of a top-secret project.

We don't have time
for riddles right now.

- Is this your
top-secret project?

It looks like a dump truck
that crashed into a bathtub.

- I think it was an alien
spacecraft, not a dump truck.

- Oh, yeah.

I can see that.

We're trying to think.

- Wait.

What animals love to roar?

There are
more than two of us,

Can you help

- That's it, Loli.

There are more
than two of these animals,

but less than four,

which means...

- Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit.

- There have
to be three of these animals.

- So, let's see
what animal we have three of.

Okay, there's one monkey,
not three,

so the answer isn't monkeys.

- and we only
have two elephants,

so it can't be elephants.

- Or giraffes.

It's not giraffes, either.

- Then it must be lions.

- Of course,
because lions roar.

- And now
that I think about it,

I think this
pretty hair around

a lion's head
is called a mane.

- You know,
I think you're right, Sheira.

The lions
can go back to the lion cage.
