  • You turn the handle and it releases

  • a rain cloud named Sam inside the faucet.

  • (thunder crashing)

  • Sam gets higher and higher until it starts to rain.

  • The pipe fills up and the rain water runs out the faucet.

  • - Oh, I have an idea.

  • Faucets have a giant ice melter in them.

  • When you want a drink you turn the handle.

  • The handle tells a block of ice

  • which is inside the water pipe,

  • the block of ice gets into the toaster

  • and gets melted into water

  • which runs out of the faucet and into your drinking glass.

  • - Would you mind getting me a towel

  • while I tell you how a faucet really works?

  • There are faucets in your bathroom, in your kitchen

  • and usually in your basement or laundry room

  • and when you turn these faucets on

  • the water comes from a reservoir

  • through pipes under the ground into your house

  • but the water can't come up until you turn on the faucet.

  • Inside of your faucet looks like this.

  • You can see that the bottom of the faucet

  • is screwed into the water pipe.

  • And when the faucet is open, water comes through this hole

  • and out the spout.

  • To close the faucet,

  • you turn the handle which lowers this shaft

  • And what is this?

  • A pizza!

  • Thought you'd sneak it by me, huh?

  • Look at this, a great, big, round circle.

  • Why there are even little circles inside the big circle.

  • Eat the pizza.

  • - Okay, okay, how about this watermelon slice?

  • - It's a circle, isn't it?

  • - Yes, definitely.

  • Looks just like a wheel and wheels are circles.

  • - You know what to do.

  • (chewing)

  • All right, you may pass.

  • - I didn't come up here to cross the bridge.

  • - Then what are you doing here?

  • - I just came to deliver your groceries.
