# I know there's a lot I don't know

0:00:040:00:07

# I like questions that lead to questions

0:00:070:00:10

# Ask away, let's see where we go! #

0:00:100:00:13

OK!

0:00:130:00:14

# What is work, what is play?

0:00:140:00:16

# Why do walls get in the way?

0:00:160:00:18

# Where is love, what's a friend will my questions never end?

0:00:180:00:20

# What is fear?

0:00:200:00:22

# Why do we laugh?

0:00:220:00:24

# Why do I hate to get wet but never in the bath?

0:00:240:00:27

# Why is this not that?

0:00:270:00:29

# Why is that not this?

0:00:290:00:30

# Who, where, when, how?

0:00:300:00:32

# What's the big idea? #

0:00:320:00:34

Yes!

-Hey, Lily! Felix!

-Hello, Hugo!

-Hello, Hugo!

0:00:440:00:48

I was wondering, how do we know the things we know?

0:00:480:00:54

I think we know things because we can see them, Hugo.

0:00:560:01:00

Like I know that it's sunny today.

0:01:000:01:03

-HE SNIFFS

-Or because we can smell them.

0:01:030:01:07

Like I know there are flowers.

0:01:070:01:10

HE SNIFFS

0:01:110:01:13

Or because we can hear them. BUZZING

0:01:130:01:16

Like I know there are bees.

0:01:160:01:19

Or because we can taste them.

0:01:260:01:28

Mmm!

0:01:300:01:31

Like I know there is honey.

0:01:310:01:34

THUD!

0:01:360:01:37

BUZZING

0:01:370:01:38

And I know an elephant just fell from the sky!

0:01:380:01:42

I can't believe that!

0:01:420:01:44

Where did that come from, Hugo?

0:01:500:01:53

Perhaps we'll find out later.

0:01:530:01:56

But do we only know things that we can see or smell or taste? Or touch?

0:01:560:02:03

Let me think.

0:02:030:02:05

CHEERING

0:02:090:02:11

She knows that she feels alone.

0:02:120:02:16

SHE SIGHS

0:02:160:02:17

HE GROANS

0:02:170:02:21

And I know that this elephant...

0:02:210:02:24

is heavy!

0:02:240:02:26

THUD!

0:02:260:02:28

You know lots of other things, too, Hugo.

0:02:280:02:33

-CHEERING

-You know how to play games.

0:02:330:02:37

You know how to ride a bicycle.

0:02:370:02:39

And tidy your bedroom.

0:02:440:02:47

And make friends.

0:02:510:02:53

THEY GROAN

0:02:550:02:59

But how do we know things don't happen when we're not looking?

0:03:010:03:05

How do we know elephants can't fly?

0:03:100:03:13

Because they might fly when we're not looking.

0:03:170:03:21

I think we have to think of everything we know about elephants,

0:03:220:03:27

-and about flying.

-Yes! Then we can work it out.

0:03:270:03:32

So what do we know about elephants?

0:03:320:03:36

I know they're big.

0:03:360:03:38

I know they're grey.

0:03:380:03:41

I know they're heavy.

0:03:410:03:43

And what do we know about things that can fly?

0:03:430:03:46

I know...flying things are light.

0:03:460:03:50

Except for aeroplanes.

0:03:500:03:52

I know flying things are pointy.

0:03:520:03:56

Except for bubbles and balloons.

0:03:560:03:59

I know they all have wings.

0:03:590:04:02

Like bubbles and balloons? Hmm.

0:04:020:04:06

All living things that can fly have wings.

0:04:060:04:09

And an elephant is a living thing that doesn't have wings, so...

0:04:090:04:14

BOTH: Elephants can't fly!

0:04:140:04:18

Unless maybe you tied one to a giant balloon!

0:04:180:04:24

No, that's just silly.

0:04:240:04:27

THUD!

0:04:270:04:29

They definitely, definitely, definitely fly.

0:04:360:04:39

But what if someone tells you that they've definitely, definitely,

0:04:390:04:44

definitely seen an elephant with wings, and it was flying?

0:04:440:04:49

Should you believe them? What do YOU think?
