Description: As a little boy and girl play with a toy circus and discuss the performers' costumes, they realize how easy it is to know what a person does by the clothing worn. A montage of people performing their daily tasks (policeman, fireman, bus driver, cowboy, astronaut, stewardess, nurse, and others) indicates a wide variety of occupations and their respective garb. The children-narrators ponder whether clothes do 'make the man, ' and finally decide that 'a person is more than just a costume.'
