Synopsis
Davey and Jimmy make telephones out of cans and string. A circus cougar escapes, while Davey and Jimmy are camping out in the back yard. As the cougar approaches the tent, Davey and his parents communicate on the string phones. Davey's dad instructs them on what to do, calls the Police, and protects them. Jimmy, who askes earlier ""But how can you talk with someone you can't see?"" when Davey says grace before eating, learns that prayer is like the string phone. We can talk to someone we can't see, but the person's there. After fearing the cougar even more, Jimmy prays as well. After the Police show up, the cougar is confronted and the kids visit the circus.
