Narration

1

A monkey is standing over a basket eating bananas on the deck of the boat.

3 Kids are standing behind the monkey having a conversation. A boy in blue overalls wearing a red hat; a girl with blonde hair in pig tails sitting in a wheel chair and another girl with brown hair wearing a yellow skirt and pink sweater.

The blond girl in the middle is talking and gesturing with her hands.

Can't we just say big, medium, and small?

2

The girl in the pink sweater responds by talking.

We’ve got to do it a bit more exactly than that.

3

All three kids are seen on the deck and the boy in the red hat is looking at the monkey and talking to him.

The monkey stacks his bananas one on top of the other.

The boy looks at the monkey and looks like he has an idea.

The blonde girl asks a question.

The boy stands by the monkey stacking the bananas one on top of the other as he measures how tall the monkey is.

If you have any more of those, you’ll turn into a banana.

Become a banana.

Wait, that's it.

What is?

Hold it there. The monkey is four bananas tall.

The blonde girl is seen on camera and she rolls her eyes as if to say the boy is crazy.

The girl in the pink sweater responds to show understanding of what the boy is saying.

The boy in the red hat is happy as he talks.

You're the one who's bananas.

No, I get it. We can use the bananas to measure the animals.

And it means my bananas won't be wasted after all.

5

A gentleman with short brown hair in a red Hawaiian shirt is sitting in a striped beach chair on a beach with bananas on the table next to him. He measures his arm using the bananas on the table.

So the number crew used bananas to measure the passengers. Now, my arm would be what-- 1, 2, 3 bananas long. Yeah, about three bananas. What about the moose's bottom?

6

The scene is back on the boat deck with the boy in the red hat sitting behind a moose measuring the moose’s bottom with bananas.

The blonde girl repeats the number of bananas and records the information on paper.

The girl in the pink sweater is measuring a snake with bananas. The girl with the blonde hair wheels over in her wheel chair.

All three children are on the deck with an adult as they measure items to build a car with.

The moose is three bananas wide.

Three.

The snake is 13 bananas long.

And once they've got the measurements of the animals, the length, and width, and height, they could make the cars the right size.
