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?

0:00:46 > 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
