But first George must learn the rhythms necessary to conduct an orchestra, and he studies and practices night and day.

But when the hats fall into the hole after a run-in with Jumpy Squirrel, how will George retrieve them? After trying this hat rescue mission with several items which are not quite long enough to reach into the bottom of the hole, George decides that a water hose might do the trick.
