0:00:04 > 0:00:06Zogcast!
0:00:06 > 0:00:09Calling Zog, calling Zog!
0:00:09 > 0:00:15Today's Zogcast is about charity, and I've been running for charity.
0:00:15 > 0:00:17Who's Charity, and why can't she run for herself?
0:00:17 > 0:00:19Charity's not a who, it's a thing.
0:00:19 > 0:00:21It's helping others and doing good deeds for people in need.
0:00:21 > 0:00:24And running is just one of the many ways that earthlings raise
0:00:24 > 0:00:25money for good causes.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28I really, really want to help out.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31- Well, you could make a donation to a charity shop.- How do I do that?
0:00:31 > 0:00:33Simple, by giving away stuff you don't use any more.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36- But I use everything.- Are you sure?
0:00:36 > 0:00:38- What about your roller skates? - Wait, I have roller skates?
0:00:38 > 0:00:41Your 2006 Girls Just Wanna Have Shoes annual.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44But my GJWHS annual collection will be ruined!
0:00:44 > 0:00:46- How many are in your collection? - Just the one.
0:00:46 > 0:00:47Where did charity come from?
0:00:47 > 0:00:51Well, it was originally chair-ity, and it began way, way long ago
0:00:51 > 0:00:53during the famous chair shortage of 1502,
0:00:53 > 0:00:57a boy called Deck saw an old lady who'd been standing for ages,
0:00:57 > 0:00:59so Deck offered his chair for her to sit on.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02People around the world heard of Deck's kind deed and were
0:01:02 > 0:01:05inspired to give up their chairs for needy bottoms to sit on,
0:01:05 > 0:01:07and that is how chair-ity,
0:01:07 > 0:01:09or "charity" as it is now known, was invented.
0:01:09 > 0:01:10- Really?- Yeah...probably.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Hey, whatever happened to that kindly boy, Deck?
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Ah, they named a chair after him.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17- Of course, the stool. - Ye...no, the deck chair.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19Earthling kids love coming up with fun ways
0:01:19 > 0:01:20to raise money for good causes.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23At school, they often have cake sales,
0:01:23 > 0:01:26- or how about sponsored... - Shh! Silences.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Or sponsored hula-hooping?
0:01:28 > 0:01:32And of course, earthlings' most popular money-raising event...
0:01:34 > 0:01:35..sponsored fruit wearing!
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Earthlings really are great at thinking about others.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Yeah, and it makes you feel good.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44It sure does, and sometimes humans go mega with charity that can
0:01:44 > 0:01:48help out entire countries, like on Red Nose Day, Children in Need...
0:01:48 > 0:01:51- Bellybutton Fluff Day? - Maybe one day, bro. Maybe one day.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53So, there you have it, Zoglings, all you all need to know
0:01:53 > 0:01:56about charity and helping others down here on Earth.
