Animals Should Definitely Not Wear Clothing
-
0:02 - 0:06Dan (in ASL): This book is called "Animals
-
0:06 - 0:13Definitely Should Not Wear Clothing.
-
0:13 - 0:25The book is written by Judi Barrett. The Illustrator's
-
0:25 - 0:36name is Roy Barrett.
-
0:36 - 0:42"Animals definitely should not wear clothing."
-
0:42 - 0:48"For example, if you have a porcupine, you know
-
0:48 - 0:51that spiny animal with lots of quills,
-
0:51 - 0:54"Suppose you gave that porcupine a nice shirt,
-
0:54 - 0:57what whould happen?"
-
0:57 - 1:01
-
1:01 - 1:03"It would get totally destroyed!"
-
1:03 - 1:05"The quills would poke through the shirt and
-
1:05 - 1:08destroy it."
-
1:08 - 1:10"So you can't give a porcupine a shirt."
-
1:10 - 1:15"Suppose you gave a camel
-
1:15 - 1:19a hat - what would it do with it?"
-
1:19 - 1:20
-
1:20 - 1:23"Maybe it'd get confused!"
-
1:23 - 1:25
-
1:25 - 1:27"It might put it on its head or maybe on one of its
-
1:27 - 1:28humps!"
-
1:28 - 1:38"So you can't give a hat to a camel."
-
1:38 - 1:41"Suppose you have a snake. If you give it
-
1:41 - 1:45pants, what would happen? Would the pants sta
-
1:45 - 1:48on the snake? No way!"
-
1:48 - 1:52"The snake would crawl right out of the pants
-
1:52 - 1:55and leave them behind - whoops!
-
1:55 - 2:04"So you can't give a snake clothes."
-
2:04 - 2:07"If you have a mouse, maybe you'd think, what
-
2:07 - 2:10a lovely hat I have, let me give it to the mouse.
-
2:10 - 2:12So you put it on, but wait!
-
2:12 - 2:16"Where's the mouse? Oh, oh! There it is.
-
2:16 - 2:20The mouse is too small, and the hat covered it.
-
2:20 - 2:31So you can't give a mouse a hat."
-
2:31 - 2:33Ah, here we have a sheep.
-
2:33 - 2:38You know, it already has thick, curly, warm wool.
-
2:38 - 2:44If you gave it a scarf, a hat, a sweater,
-
2:44 - 2:47and bundled it up tight, boy, that would be too hot!
-
2:47 - 2:51The poor thing would be sweating and sweating.
-
2:51 - 3:02So you shouldn't give a sheep clothes, either.
-
3:02 - 3:05Next we have a pig.
-
3:05 - 3:07You know, the pig is a nice clean animal
-
3:07 - 3:10Always clean and well-mannered.
-
3:10 - 3:13No way. So if you gave it some formal dress,
-
3:13 - 3:17like a tie and button down shirt, do you think it'd
-
3:17 - 3:18stay clean?
-
3:18 - 3:21Nope - that pig is sloppy, going to be rolling in the
-
3:21 - 3:23dirt and getting food all over itself.
-
3:23 - 3:25So you can't give a pig clean clothes like that.
-
3:25 - 3:36Here's a chicken - you know what they do every
-
3:36 - 3:40day, right? Laying eggs, that's their routine.
-
3:40 - 3:43Now, suppose you gave a chicken some lovely
-
3:43 - 3:47pants to wear - do you think it could continue to
-
3:47 - 3:50lay eggs? No chance - the eggs would get stuck in
-
3:50 - 3:54her pants!
-
3:54 - 4:06So you really can't give a chicken clothes.
-
4:06 - 4:11You know the animal called a kangaroo? It
-
4:11 - 4:14hops along and has a little pouch for the baby on
-
4:14 - 4:15its stomach?
-
4:15 - 4:19Suppose you gave it a jacket with pockets on
-
4:19 - 4:21the side. But that animal already has a pouch
-
4:21 - 4:25for its baby to ride in. What does it need those
-
4:25 - 4:28extra pockets for?! Forget it.
-
4:28 - 4:30Don't give a kangaroo a coat with extra pockets.
-
4:30 - 4:43Here's a giraffe - you know, with a really long neck.
-
4:43 - 4:55If you gave it a coat with a tie, it has such a lon
-
4:55 - 4:58neck, how many ties would you give it?
-
4:58 - 5:00It would look ridiculous! You don't need to give a
-
5:00 - 5:12giraffe clothes like a coat and tie.
-
5:12 - 5:18If you give clothes to a goat, what would it do?
-
5:18 - 5:22Eat it! Because, of course, goats have a habit of
-
5:22 - 5:25eating clothes! So you might give it clothes, and
-
5:25 - 5:28suddenly they're gone, destroyed.
-
5:28 - 5:31Because the goat ate it.
-
5:31 - 5:41So you can't give a goat clothing.
-
5:41 - 5:46(ACHOO!) Excuse me.
-
5:46 - 5:49Here's another animal, a walrus, with long tusks
-
5:49 - 5:54that swims in the ocean.
-
5:54 - 6:00If you gave fancy clothes to that walrus, a tie,
-
6:00 - 6:02hat, and coat, would it stay dry?
-
6:02 - 6:05Definitely not. Once you gave the clothes to the
-
6:05 - 6:07walrus, he'd hop right into the water for a swim!
-
6:07 - 6:14Everything would get soaked and stay soggy.
-
6:14 - 6:22You can't give a walrus clothes.
-
6:22 - 6:29If you gave pants with suspenders to a moose,
-
6:29 - 6:32what do you think the moose would do with it?
-
6:32 - 6:34
-
6:34 - 6:37It might hang the suspenders on its antlers!
-
6:37 - 6:40And then it would be totally stuck.
-
6:40 - 6:43So a moose can't use suspenders.
-
6:43 - 7:01Here's an animal called an opossum, that likes
-
7:01 - 7:06to hang upside down.
-
7:06 - 7:09Suppose you gave the oppossum some clothes
-
7:09 - 7:11while it's hanging there, how do you think you'd
-
7:11 - 7:15do it? Since it's hanging upside down, which way
-
7:15 - 7:18do you put the clothes on?
-
7:18 - 7:21
-
7:21 - 7:23And last, if you provide clothing for an elephant,
-
7:23 - 7:30an elegant hat and blouse, and a woman strolls up
-
7:30 - 7:36who's wearing the same clothing, how embarassing
-
7:36 - 7:40that would be!
-
7:40 - 7:44So you can't give clothing to animals, absolutely not!
-
7:44 -That's it - hooray.
