Hello, Hugo!

0:00:450:00:47

Hello, Lily.

0:00:470:00:48

-What are you looking for, Hugo?

-Oh, hi, Felix.

0:00:480:00:52

I'm looking for my schoolbag.

0:00:520:00:55

-Right behind you.

-Huh? Thanks!

0:00:550:01:00

Why do I go to school?

0:01:010:01:04

Because you have to.

0:01:040:01:07

-Yes, but we also go to school to learn things, Hugo.

-Hmm.

0:01:070:01:12

Oh, yeah, like reading.

0:01:120:01:14

I love reading!

0:01:160:01:18

And there's writing too.

0:01:180:01:21

And, and, and... And counting!

0:01:210:01:25

Ha-ha!

0:01:260:01:27

And really cool things we don't know about yet.

0:01:290:01:35

Like people.

0:01:350:01:37

And places.

0:01:410:01:43

Hey!

0:01:430:01:45

Whee!

0:01:450:01:46

And at school we can learn about all kinds of animals too.

0:01:560:02:00

ELEPHANT TRUMPETS

0:02:000:02:02

I go to school to see my friends.

0:02:050:02:08

Hey!

0:02:080:02:09

Yes, sometimes we play at school.

0:02:110:02:14

THEY GIGGLE

0:02:140:02:17

I see you!

0:02:170:02:20

Hey!

0:02:200:02:21

-But mostly school is there to teach you things.

-I knew that!

0:02:280:02:32

So is school the only place to learn?

0:02:340:02:37

Look, he's learning from his dad.

0:02:430:02:45

Oh...

0:02:520:02:54

And she's learning from her big sister.

0:02:540:02:59

Eee!

0:03:010:03:03

And he's learning from his computer.

0:03:060:03:09

Hooray!

0:03:120:03:13

And I'm learning from the TV and games and comics.

0:03:150:03:21

-Woof-woof!

-And pets!

0:03:230:03:26

So if we can learn at home, why do we need to go to school?

0:03:260:03:32

Well, your teachers aren't at home, Hugo.

0:03:340:03:37

Oh, yeah, they're at school.

0:03:370:03:39

And you can learn lots from them.

0:03:390:03:42

They know everything.

0:03:420:03:45

Well, maybe not everything.

0:03:460:03:49

But they do know a lot.

0:03:490:03:51

Your friends aren't at home either.

0:03:510:03:54

They're at school.

0:03:540:03:55

-And there's a lot you can learn from them too.

-Learn...

0:03:570:04:01

how to get along with people too!

0:04:010:04:05

THEY GIGGLE

0:04:050:04:07

Look out, Hugo!

0:04:090:04:11

ELEPHANT TRUMPETS

0:04:110:04:12

Uh-oh, Hugo is in trouble.

0:04:240:04:28

Hee-hee.

0:04:290:04:32

Hugo, if you do well at school

0:04:320:04:34

you'll know a lot when you've grown up.

0:04:340:04:36

And you might get a good job, too.

0:04:360:04:42

-You're the best stacker-upper in the world.

-Thank you!

0:04:420:04:46

But when we're older,

0:04:470:04:49

does that mean we'll never need school again?

0:04:490:04:54

What do you think?
