00:07Do you know a guy who talked to a kangaroo?
00:10Right there!
00:11Woo!
00:11Who's always ready to learn about something new?
00:15Whose parent book has all the animals you could wish?
00:18Yeah!
00:19Who's proud to say his best friend is a fish?
00:22That's right!
00:22It's my man, Stanley!
00:24Oh, yeah, it's my man, Stanley!
00:26Welcome to Stanley's World!
00:28Yes, Stanley!
00:29Come help me figure out what life is all about
00:33Who takes you swimming with dolphins?
00:36It's Stanley!
00:37Oh, yeah!
00:38Laughs with a lion, too
00:39It's Stanley!
00:41Cool!
00:41No problem Stan can't solve
00:43It's all that it involves
00:45Having a friend like you
00:49Having a friend like you
00:52It's Stanley!
00:53It's Stanley!
00:53With a friend like you
00:56It's Stanley!
00:56It's Stanley!
00:57Woo!
00:58It's Stanley!
00:59Woo!
01:01Camel commotion
01:10What a glorious day!
01:13It's bright and sunny and the birds are singing
01:15What say we all go to the park?
01:17How about eating ice cream sundaes and watching scary double feature movies?
01:22I think the park sounds great!
01:25I'll go!
01:26I'll go!
01:27I'll go!
01:27Okay!
01:28Me, too!
01:30Come on, Lionel!
01:31But, Mom!
01:32Come on, Lionel!
01:34Okay!
01:36Well, have a nice time, Stanley!
01:38I'll just...
01:40Wait here!
01:41No, Dennis!
01:42You have to come, too!
01:44Really?
01:45Sure!
01:46You're my pal!
01:47I wouldn't leave you out!
01:49That's my boy!
01:51I'll be ready in a flash!
01:54Let's go!
01:55Okay!
01:56Just let me get a few things to take to the park!
02:00Let's see...
02:02I should probably take a flashlight...
02:04And...
02:05Oh, yeah!
02:07These bottle caps!
02:08And this doorstop!
02:10And maybe extra socks?
02:12Nah!
02:14My canteen?
02:17That could come in handy!
02:20Nah!
02:21Too heavy!
02:23Hey!
02:24The Great Big Book of Everything!
02:25That's got to come!
02:27Let's go, everybody!
02:29Park time!
02:30Oh, boy!
02:40Uh-oh!
02:41What didn't Stanley take that could be useful on a hot day?
02:49Come on, guys!
02:51Come on, guys!
02:56Stanley?
02:57Well, you said everybody!
03:00Oh, there's a good spot!
03:08Great idea, honey!
03:16Ah!
03:17First thing I want to do is jump in the lake!
03:20First thing I want to do is take a catnap!
03:23What about you, Stanley?
03:25What do you want to do?
03:27Boy, it's really hot, isn't it?
03:29The first thing I want to do is get a drink of water!
03:32Well, I'd gladly share some of mine!
03:35If you're a fish!
03:37Thanks anyway, Dennis!
03:43Over here, Stanley!
03:44Okay!
03:45Be right over!
03:47Whoa!
03:47There's the lake!
03:49Hey, dudes!
03:49Watch me catch a wave!
03:56Oh, yeah?
03:57Watch me catch some Z's!
04:08Mom, I'm thirsty!
04:10Did you bring water?
04:13Sorry, Stanley, I didn't!
04:15Dad, did you bring water?
04:17No, Stanley, I didn't!
04:19Now what'll I do?
04:21I know!
04:22I'll just have to find some!
04:26Where would I find clean drinking water in the park?
04:32Well, I certainly can't drink lake water.
04:35It isn't clean enough.
04:37I know!
04:38I'll look for a water fountain.
04:41Maybe there's a water fountain on the playground over there.
04:44Great!
04:48You go ahead, honey.
04:49We can keep an eye on you from here.
04:51Right, Mom.
04:52Come on, Dennis!
05:03It's not much farther, Dennis, but it sure is getting hot.
05:08It's like walking in a desert.
05:31Where are we, Captain Stanley?
05:34I'll check the books, Sergeant Dennis, and see what we can find out about deserts.
05:47It's like a great big book of everything with everything inside.
05:52See the world around us.
05:54This book's the perfect guide.
05:55Oh, you're quite dumb.
05:57The desert is getting hotter.
05:59We need to drink some water.
06:03We need to drink some water.
06:04Desert starts with D.
06:07A, B, C, D.
06:10Here it is.
06:11Deserts are dry areas of land where there is very little food or water.
06:16Right, Stanley.
06:17But not all deserts are hot and sandy.
06:19Some are rocky and cold.
06:22Look, Dennis.
06:23Here's a map of deserts in Asia.
06:27Hey!
06:28I thought camels had one hump.
06:30Some do, Stanley.
06:32But there are different kinds of camels.
06:34These Bactrian camels live in the high mountains of Asia,
06:37where it can be very hot in summer and very cold in winter.
06:45There are other kinds of camels in North Africa and the Middle East called dromedaries.
06:50They have one hump each.
06:54Look over there!
06:58Well, people in this part of the world use camels to ride on and to carry things.
07:03And these camels have only one hump.
07:05Here's a puzzle.
07:06If they each have two riders, how many riders will five camels have altogether?
07:15Let's see.
07:17That would be five camels times two riders each.
07:22Or five plus five.
07:24Do you know how much that is?
07:28Five camels would have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten riders.
07:37Five times two is ten!
07:39That's right!
07:42And did you know that camels are sometimes called ships of the desert?
07:46Ships?
07:51If they're ships, where's the water?
07:54Oh, there's very little water in the desert, Stanley.
07:57Camels are called ships of the desert because of the rocking way they walk.
08:00It's a little like the way a boat rocks back and forth on waves.
08:05But if there's so little water, what do camels do when they get thirsty like me?
08:11Oh, that's one of the remarkable things about camels.
08:14Even when it's really hot, they can go for weeks without taking a drink.
08:19Weeks? How can they do that?
08:22Well, camels are very good at conserving water.
08:25Conserving means not using it all at once, so you have some when you need it.
08:29And their humps store extra fat that the camel can use for food.
08:34Also, a camel can lose a lot of weight but replace it in just ten minutes of drinking water.
08:50And look, Stanley, baby camels don't even have humps.
08:54They won't grow any until they've had time to build up more fat.
09:02Stanley, can you think of a way to carry water with you?
09:07How about you?
09:10Can you think of a way?
09:13I could hold water in my cheeks like this.
09:17True, but you certainly wouldn't be able to talk with a mouth full of water.
09:24Then I could keep it in a bowl like you do. Or a bottle. I know. I could bring my
09:31own water to the park by carrying it in a bottle.
09:33Yeah! Or a canteen!
09:36Why didn't I fill up my canteen and bring it with me?
09:44Instead of your flashlight.
09:46And my bottle cap collection.
09:48And your door stop.
09:50I guess I didn't really think about what I was gonna need, did I? If I'd brought my canteen, I
09:56could have a drink anytime I wanted to.
09:59Exactly! Humans aren't able to go a long time without water the way camels do. They have to carry it
10:04with them.
10:05And all living things depend on water in some way.
10:08You said it!
10:10And I'm so thirsty.
10:13Now get a grip on yourself, Stanley. Let's try to find an oasis.
10:17Great.
10:19Oasis? What's that?
10:23An oasis is a place in a desert where water comes out of the ground. The water falls as rain
10:29in far away mountains and flows underground until it finds a spot where it can come to the surface.
10:38Oh, I see. Then that must be our oasis right over there.
10:54Ah, that's better.
10:57Worth waiting for, eh, Stanley?
10:59You said it.
11:01Look, Dennis.
11:04There's Marcy and Mimi in the sandbox. Want to join them?
11:08Why not? I've grown quite fond of the desert.
11:16Yippee!
11:17Hi, Marcy. Hi, Mimi. Let's play desert, okay?
11:21Did you know camels can go for weeks without water?
11:29Camels sure know a thing or two about conserving the wet stuff. That's water, you know.
11:34Yeah, they can go for weeks without drinking.
11:37But humans can't.
11:38Nope.
11:40So from now on, I'm going to remember to bring water with me when I go to the park.
11:48That tastes great.
11:49You said it, Stanley.
11:59Good night, Dennis.
12:00Good night, Camel Boy.
12:13There's no place like home.
12:28What?
12:29What?
12:29What?
12:30What?
12:30What's that noise?
12:31Alarm clock?
12:35No.
12:37Doorbell?
12:39No.
12:41Do you know what that sound is?
12:49Hello?
12:50Oh, hi, girls.
12:52I'll get Stanley.
12:54Stanley!
12:55Telephone!
12:56Oh, it's a phone call for Stanley.
13:01Who is it, Mom?
13:03Marcy and Mimi.
13:04For you.
13:08Hi, Stanley.
13:10Hi, Mimi.
13:11No, it's me, Marcy.
13:13Want to come out and play?
13:15Sure, Marcy.
13:17No, it's me, Mimi.
13:19Oh, sorry.
13:21That's okay.
13:22Everybody says we sound alike.
13:25Yeah, because we are twins.
13:29We want to go play in the snow with you.
13:33I'm going to make a snow angel.
13:35Not me.
13:36I'm going to make a snow volcano.
13:39Can you come?
13:41Sure.
13:41I'll meet you in the yard right away.
13:44Mom, is it okay if I play in the snow with Marcy and Mimi?
13:48Sure, honey.
13:49Just as long as you dress really warm.
13:51But first, how about some hot oatmeal?
13:58I'm going to play in the snow, Dennis.
14:00Mom said to dress warm, so I guess I'll need my snowsuit.
14:07Oh, I hate my snowsuit.
14:11I feel like a big ball of dough when I'm wearing it.
14:16Well, it might be a little bulky, Stanley, but it will keep you warm.
14:22Oh, my red jacket will be warming up.
14:25Besides, I'll wear my scarf and hat.
14:30Hmm.
14:32Want to come with me?
14:34Thanks, just the same, but it's far too cold for me out there.
14:37I'd rather not risk turning my fishbowl into a giant ice cube.
14:40Have fun.
14:42And stay warm.
14:50Wow.
14:51Nice volcano.
14:52Thanks, Stanley.
14:54Watch out!
14:55It's gonna blow!
15:00Ta-da!
15:07I thought volcanoes were supposed to be hot.
15:10They usually are, Harry.
15:13Well, this one was downright cool, dude.
15:15Now I've got to go inside to warm up.
15:31My, it's gotten chilly in here.
15:46Hey, instead of a snowman, why don't we build a snow bear?
15:50A snow bear?
15:52Yeah, you know, a polar bear.
15:55Great idea.
15:56I've got a ball for the bottom.
15:57And I've got a ball for the middle.
16:01And I've got one for the top.
16:02One.
16:04Two.
16:08Three.
16:17Great bear, Stanley.
16:24Great.
16:26Are you cold, Stanley?
16:28That jacket of yours doesn't look very warm.
16:32Don't worry.
16:34I'm okay.
16:36Are you sure?
16:38You're shivering.
16:41Actually, I am a little cold.
16:44Then we'd better go inside.
16:47Come on, Stanley.
16:54Stanley.
16:54Stanley, Griff.
16:55You know I told you to wear your snow suit.
16:58What were you thinking going outside in that thin little red jacket of yours?
17:01I didn't think it would be so cold.
17:04You're not a polar bear, you know.
17:07I guess I'm not.
17:10How can polar bears stand living in all that cold and snow anyway?
17:19They take their mother's advice and dress up warm.
17:21She's just kidding.
17:23Right?
17:25Yeah, I'm kidding.
17:26And also, I don't know the answer.
17:29Why don't we see what we can find out about polar bears on the computer?
17:34Great idea, Mom.
17:37Stanley, aren't you forgetting something?
17:38Me!
17:49Look at all of this.
17:52You can find out everything you want to know about polar bears right here on the internet.
18:00Oh, I'll get that.
18:01And you keep drinking that hot chocolate.
18:05I just love polar bears.
18:07They're so cute.
18:09I wonder what it's like being.
18:12Me too.
18:14If you really want to know, let's go into the polar bear's world.
18:18Yeah, let's do it.
18:22Now we're going online to find out everything.
18:26We'll surf the internet for the answers it can bring.
18:30Why don't you two just sign off?
18:32The World Wide Web's the way to go to find the things we need to know.
18:39Come on, everybody.
18:43One, two, three.
18:46Whee!
18:51This is a part of the world called the Arctic.
18:54Arctic is a word that comes from ancient Greek, meaning country of the great bear.
18:59Nice coats.
19:02Dump-de-dump-de-dump-de-dump-dump-dump.
19:06And speaking of coats, the polar bear's coat is what helps keep it warm.
19:12It's made of a layer of thick, woolly hairs covered by a layer of hollow, waterproof hairs that help keep
19:18it dry.
19:19In fact, the hairs are actually transparent and reflect light.
19:22That's why the polar bears look white.
19:25Hey!
19:26Under their fur, polar bears are really black.
19:29That's because under the fur is a thick layer of fat, which is also called blubber.
19:33And sometimes it even keeps them too warm.
19:36Polar bears have to move slowly and rest often to keep from getting too hot.
19:40They may even have to jump in the ocean just to cool down.
19:49Of course, you wouldn't want to do that, would you?
19:54No.
19:55But bears can because their fur and blubber give them such good insulation.
20:01What's insulation?
20:02I thought you'd never ask.
20:04The bear's blubber and fur coat trap body heat and keep it from being released to the outside air.
20:11Why do they have such short ears and short tails?
20:16Good question, girls!
20:18Long ears and long tails get cold faster than short ones.
20:22And polar bears may even cover their muzzles with their paws to help keep the heat in.
20:28Can you think of anything you wear for insulation?
20:35Oh, I get it. It's like when you wear a hat.
20:37It keeps you from losing heat from the top of your head.
20:40Now you've got it, Stanley.
20:49So a coat doesn't make you warm.
20:51It helps keep you warm by dropping the heat from your body.
20:55And my snowsuit will help keep me warm because it's a better insulator than my red jacket.
21:00Exactly!
21:03I hope you're planning to put that snowsuit on before you go out again, Stanley.
21:07I sure am!
21:09Just call me Polar Bear Stanley.
21:11So go back and finish that snowman, okay?
21:15You mean Snow Bear.
21:16Oh, right. Snow Bear.
21:20Go to it!
21:23What are we waiting for?
21:27Right you are. You kids run along and play in the snow while I, um...
21:32Wanna come along?
21:33Oh, no thanks, Stanley.
21:37I'm gonna stay here and work on my insulation.
21:41Thanks for the help, Dennis.
21:43Anytime, Stanley.
21:53Look, our snow bear's still there.
21:56Wow, I can't wait to finish it.
21:59Um, I just remembered something.
22:02What is it? Did you forget your scarf?
22:05No.
22:06Did you forget an extra sweater?
22:08No.
22:09Then what is it?
22:11I forgot to go to the bathroom.
22:12Ha ha!
22:14Ha ha ha!
22:27Polar bears sure have great coats.
22:29Having your own built-in fur snowsuit sure comes in handy.
22:36Especially if you live in the Arctic.
22:39Right, Stanley. Their fur helps keep them warm and dry.
22:42Because underneath it, they have a layer of fat that they use for insulation.
22:46In fact, they can get so warm that they need to find ways to cool down.
22:51Uh-huh, they're pretty cool dudes.
22:53Cool, but not cold.
22:57Well, good night, everybody.
23:00Good night, Stanley.
23:01Good night, polar bear boy.
23:04Stay warm.
23:12Good night.
23:42Good night.
