Focus the picture and adjust the sound volume the film will then be ready for correct [Music] projection two three hi get out there Randy Randy hey oh McDonald had a form Mio Mio my that's e e IO it is I thought it was Old McDonald you're hopeless no I'm Marvin come keep moving hey what's that that's easy down football players boy are they getting dirty GE hard that looks like fun I wish I were a real human so I could do that a real human you wouldn't like it sure I would being real would be fun fun tell you what let's watch and you'll see what you have to do if you're a human 2 three hey oh okay gang that's enough for today let's wash up for lunch D do we have to oh we're not that dirty Dr Parker gather around here a little bit come on over here Randy sit down why do we have to wash anyway why wash for lunch well maybe I can give you some reasons our skin is a lot like this lawn now just as we have to take care of this lawn to keep out the harmful insects and weeds we also have to take care of our skin what do you mean I don't understand okay imagine that we were looking at the skin here through a giant magnifying glass you'd find that the surface has many little openings called pores now out of the pores comes water we usually call it perspiration or sweat the water helps cool our skin the pores also release a kind of oil that keeps our skin from getting dry or cracked whoa is that really really true har how would I know I've never worked hard enough to sweat but the oil and moisture provide a place for dirt and germs to collect germs are like little plants but they're so small that you can't see them doctors call them bacteria now if we want to see germs we have to look at them through a microscope a microscope is something that makes little things look real big now there are many kinds of germs and some of them can make us sick that's why we have to wash our hands before we eat it's not just to get rid of the dirt but to get rid of the germs so they don't get in our food and for the same reason we wash our hands after we've been to the bathroom because of the germs right all right do any of you Tigers know a good way to remove dirt and germs from the skin boy that's a hard question yeah let me think use soap and water yes soap and water soap and water soap and water water alone won't do it you need the soap to loosen the oil and dirt so that it washes away taking the germs with it did you hear that Mar to be a human you have to use soap and water but har maybe washing wouldn't be so bad wouldn't be bad come with me I'll show you what you have to do to be clean and neat you're going to wash not me knucklehead come on now here's what washing is all about see he has to use lots of soap he even washes behind his ears and in all the little [Music] cracks look hard he's even washing his feet sure humans have to do that now see how he has to rinse off all the soap when he's finished washing why har why does he have to do that because humans like to get rid of the dirt and oil and germs and besides dry soap on their skin causes it to Chap and crack oh yeah I wouldn't like that either hey look Harve he's washing his fingernails with a brush that's because germs grow in the dirt under the fingernails and germs are bad for humans hey what's he doing now if you're a human there's a thing you have to do called washing your hair boys too everybody but why har well when you're human your hair collects oil and sweat from the pores so it gets dirty and greasy germs can stick to it for some silly reason humans don't like that but I heard that clean hair looks and feels better is that right Harve don't ask me he's sure using a lot of water does he have to sure you have to use lots of water to get all the soap out of your hair dry soap in hair makes it look dead and awful and here's something else humans have to be sure to do a good job of drying off because germs grow in wet warm places do all humans have to wash and die like that Harve well they should every day every day right and do you know what else they have to do they have to put on clean underwear and socks every every day they do right do you still want to be a human well come on I'll show you something else there that's what I've been looking for you've been looking for a shelf no knucklehead look you see what that girl is doing she's brushing her teeth right humans have to do that to get out the little pieces of food that germs grow on and germs cause teeth to get cavities cavities yeah I heard that Sugar like in candy is bad for teeth is that right harf right humans shouldn't eat too much candy not if they don't want cavities ah Harve that's right but look there's even more if you want to be human now she's brushing her hair do you know why humans do that gosh no Harve well they say that brushing spreads out the natural oils so the hair will be shiny and healthy shiny and healthy gee Harve I think I'd like that well I'll tell you about something you wouldn't like lice lice what's that lice are little tiny bugs that you can get in your hair how do they get there one way is from using other people's Combs or wearing their clothing like hats oh I sure wouldn't want any little bugs on me nobody would hey what about those kids back on the lawn being neat and clean is good then they'll want to wash their hands and faces no they won't you'll see so that's why I think it's important to be clean remember those germs anybody that doesn't want to get cleaned up before lunch doesn't have to I do I want to get no germ whoa well Marv I guess most people like to be neat and clean so if you're going to be human you've got to get used to soap and water and Marv Marv Marv where are you over here har taking a shower isn't so bad Harve if you start a little at a time some people will do anything to be human [Music]
