Why Do We Wash Our Hands? 🧼

0:00Why Do We Wash Our Hands?

LumiHave you ever wondered why washing hands with soap matters so much?

BrikWatch closely, right here under the stars, and our whole clean-hands answer begins.

BrikBrik points to a quiet garden, every little tool cleaned and put away.

LumiNot one single hand needs washing yet, only quiet, sleeping garden rows.

BrikGod the Father made this world out of love, and He told us to call Him Father.

LumiGood morning, dear friends! We are Brik and Lumi, and today we got up very early to watch the sunrise together.

BrikLook, the stars are still shining, and in a few minutes the sun will come up just for us.

LumiOpen your eyes wide and come along, today something special is waiting.

BrikCan you say habit? Habit. Something good you do the very same way, every day.

LumiWashing hands is one small habit that keeps our whole body healthy and strong.

BrikTo God the Father every child matters, and for each one He has made a place in Heaven.

LumiBy morning, we will get our hands wonderfully muddy in the garden, and then wash them.

BrikEven in the dark, neat rows of carrots and cabbages rest quiet in the ogrodek.

2:00What Happens in the Garden Cottage at Night?

LumiA chicken! Can you say chicken? Chicken.

BrikThe whole cottage rests quiet, close together, safe under the wide night sky.

LumiCurled up like this, Coco tucks her fluffy chicks warm beneath her own wings.

BrikNot one single chick peeks out from under Coco's wings tonight.

BrikThe Lord Jesus is always with us, and He came so that things would be truly good for us.

LumiResting quietly like this, Coco feels warm and safe beside her two best friends.

BrikThe whole garden waits patiently.

LumiCan you wait quietly too?

BrikNot one star stops twinkling.

LumiCoco leans into Brik's side, warm and safe beside the sleeping rows.

BrikThe stars above the garden blink, calm and perfectly still tonight.

LumiA little cricket! Can you say cricket? A tiny bug that sings at night.

BrikIts small song rises and falls, soft and steady over the sleeping garden.

LumiMary is our Mother and the Queen of Heaven, and she always takes care of us.

BrikCan you say germ? Germ. A tiny speck too small to see, that soap washes away.

LumiEvery busy day leaves a few tiny germs on our hands, too small to ever see.

BrikLet's build somewhere warm, right where we can rest before our long day begins.

BrikLook what we are building today, come closer and watch with us!

LumiA cozy wooden cottage, hung with soft lanterns from one wall to the other.

4:20Why Is Giggles Scared of the Night Storm?

BrikWe are calling it The Lantern-Lit Garden Cottage.

LumiInside, soft towels wait folded, ready for tomorrow's very first clean scrub.

LumiBlock by block, slowly, and it is already growing taller.

BrikBeam by beam, and lantern by lantern, rising warm against the dark.

LumiCoco ambles up to the new cottage, sniffing the fresh, warm wood.

BrikIt is finished! Look how beautiful it turned out.

LumiThe Lantern-Lit Garden Cottage is finished, glowing soft under the wide night sky.

BrikFrom here, every muddy little hand will find soap, water, and a warm towel.

LumiAnd now a riddle, listen carefully.

LumiBrik counted every warm lantern glowing inside the brand new cottage.

BrikHow many warm lanterns are glowing inside the cottage tonight?

BrikTake your time, it is good to think a little longer.

LumiWell done, exactly right! I heard how beautifully you answered.

LumiThree warm lanterns, glowing softly. One, two, three.

BrikThree little lights, and every single one watches over the sleeping garden.

BrikTime to get to work, and work is much nicer when we do it together.

BrikOne small lantern, glowing softly right beside the new cottage.

LumiWe are calling it The First Cottage Lantern.

BrikIts warm little glow lights up the nearest garden row just enough to see.

LumiWe did it, and we did it together.

LumiThe First Cottage Lantern is ready, and three more will soon glow beside it.

BrikLook, out past the garden, a thick black cloud rolls in fast.

LumiThe whole sky darkens in a few quick seconds, and the wind picks up.

BrikA bright zigzag flashes across the whole dark sky, quick and silver-white.

LumiFor one whole second, the entire garden glows bright as daylight.

BrikDo not worry, everyone, that flash is only bright light, quick and harmless.

LumiWe are here together, safe and warm, and it is rolling past.

BrikGiggles peeks out slowly, and the little pink bunny calms down beside him.

LumiSomewhere in the wet grass, a frog croaks happily at every warm raindrop.

BrikCan you say thunder? Thunder. The deep, rolling sound after a flash of light.

LumiLight travels so fast, we see the flash long before the thunder ever arrives.

BrikThe rain patters gentle on every leaf, and the thick cloud rolls on by.

LumiLook, the sky is clearing already, calm and dark and full of stars again.

BrikGiggles hops up, giggling with relief, glad the whole sky is quiet once more.

BrikTime for a question, think for a moment.

LumiBrik counted every bright star peeking back out after the clouds rolled by.

BrikHow many bright stars are peeking back out over the garden?

LumiHave a think, we will wait for you.

BrikBravo, that is it! You are real Dream Builders.

BrikFive bright stars, peeking back out. One, two, three, four, five.

LumiFive little stars, and every single one shines calm again over the quiet garden.

LumiBring the blocks, dear builders, we are starting something new.

9:20Why Is the Sky Turning Gold Over the Garden?

LumiOne tall, thin tower, built from smooth boards right beside the cottage.

BrikWe are calling it The Night-Watch Garden Tower.

LumiClimb up, and the whole dark garden spreads out quiet beneath you.

BrikIt is finished! Look how beautiful it turned out.

BrikThe Night-Watch Garden Tower stands tall, and Lumi waves gently from the top.

BrikWhat a curious, patient start to our very long day.

LumiIf you like what we built, show us a thumbs up!

BrikCan you say curious? Curious.

LumiLook what we are building today, come closer and watch with us!

BrikOne small bridge, leading toward the edge where the sun will soon rise.

LumiWe are calling it The Dawn-Garden Bridge.

BrikIts planks glow pale gold already, leading straight toward the morning light.

BrikWe did it, and we did it together.

LumiThe Dawn-Garden Bridge is ready, and Coco is already standing at the far end.

BrikLook, past the tower, the deep dark sky is starting to change.

LumiIt is turning from deep black to a soft, gentle shade of grey.

BrikThe stars are fading, one by one, like little candles going out slowly.

LumiWatch closely, the edge of the sky is starting to glow soft and warm.

BrikA thin golden line grows wider, along the far edge of the garden.

LumiOne by one, the sleepy garden rows begin to stir, ready for a new day.

11:40What Is the Great Bubble-Scrub Fountain?

BrikLook, the sun is climbing higher and the whole world is turning golden.

LumiThe whole garden is waking up in gold, right before our eyes.

BrikGood morning, sleepy garden! The sun is finally, wonderfully, all the way up.

LumiThe last cool shadow fades, and the whole garden glows bright golden warm.

BrikCan you say golden? Golden.

LumiNow, in the light of this brand new day, let's solve our whole clean-hands mystery.

BrikWhy does soap really matter, when plain water could rinse our hands too?

LumiLet's dig in the garden first, and get our own hands wonderfully muddy.

BrikBrik digs happily among the carrots, mud smudging both of his own hands.

LumiLumi giggles, patting the soft dirt around one tall, leafy cabbage row.

BrikA rabbit! Can you say rabbit? Rabbit.

LumiHer name is George, and she hops closer, nibbling clover by the garden fence.

BrikGeorge twitches her ears, watching Brik's hands turn muddier by the moment.

LumiTime to get to work, and work is much nicer when we do it together.

LumiOne round flower bed, opening its petals in the very first warm light.

BrikWe are calling it The Morning Soap-Flower Bed.

LumiIts petals open soft and white, round and foamy, just like little soap bubbles.

BrikIt is finished! Look how beautiful it turned out.

BrikThe Morning Soap-Flower Bed is ready, glowing warm in the early light.

LumiCan you say grease? Grease. A sticky, oily bit of dirt that water alone cannot lift.

BrikPlain water alone cannot wash grease away.

LumiHere comes a riddle, say the answer out loud!

BrikBrik counted every glowing bubble band on the great scrubbing fountain.

LumiHow many bubble bands are glowing on the fountain?

BrikTake your time, it is good to think a little longer.

LumiWonderful, you got it! I am so proud of you.

LumiSix glowing bands, counted carefully. One, two, three, four, five, six.

BrikSix soapy bands, and every single one is ready to lift dirt right off our hands.

LumiCan you say lather? Lather. The soft, foamy layer soap makes when you rub it with water.

BrikBrik rubs his hands together, and a soft white lather grows between his fingers.

LumiA little dew still clings to the grass, sparkling in the same morning light.

BrikCan you say knuckle? Knuckle. One of the little bendy spots along each finger.

LumiGood scrubbing reaches every knuckle, every fingertip, and even each thumb.

BrikGeorge noses at a fallen soap petal, sniffing its clean, gentle scent.

15:50Why Does Soap Work Better Than Water Alone?

LumiCan you say wrist? Wrist. The bendy spot where your hand joins your arm.

BrikWashing all the way past the wrist helps carry every last speck of dirt away.

LumiThe fountain hums soft and steady, bubbling warm in the climbing sun.

BrikNot one drop of lather goes to waste, it all rinses clean down to the roots below.

BrikLet's build somewhere big, right where the whole garden can see our giant answer.

BrikBring the blocks, dear builders, we are starting something new.

LumiA giant, blocky fountain, bubbling over with warm, sudsy, glowing foam.

BrikWe are calling it The Great Bubble-Scrub Fountain.

LumiBrik dips his muddy hands right in, and the soap grabs onto every speck of dirt.

LumiSee how nicely it fits, one block sitting neatly on another.

BrikBlock by block, and bubble by bubble, rising taller with the morning sun.

LumiCan you say molecule? Molecule. A tiny, tiny piece too small for our own eyes to see.

BrikGeorge hops right underneath the great fountain, watching bubbles glow warm.

LumiTiny soap molecules grab each speck of dirt and lift it clean off Brik's skin.

BrikWe did it, and we did it together.

LumiThe Great Bubble-Scrub Fountain is finished, and George settles down to watch.

BrikCan you say rinse? Rinse. To wash something clean with a good, steady flow of water.

LumiOnce the soap grabs the dirt loose, a good rinse carries it all down the drain.

BrikThat is the secret: soap grabs the dirt, and water carries it away.

LumiNot one speck of dirt stays stuck once soap and water work together like that.

BrikBrik claps his hands, delighted at how clean his own two hands feel now.

LumiAnd now a riddle, listen carefully.

LumiBrik blew one giant bubble and watched smaller bubbles float off from it.

BrikHow many little bubbles floated away from that one giant bubble?

BrikHave a think, we will wait for you.

LumiWell done, exactly right! I heard how beautifully you answered.

BrikEight little bubbles, floating gently. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

LumiEight soft bubbles, and every single one drifted off shining in the morning sun.

BrikLook what we are building today, come closer and watch with us!

BrikFour little steps, each one painted with one more bubble than the last.

LumiWe are calling it The Four Bubble-Counting Steps.

BrikStep up slowly, counting each bubble, all the way to the top step.

LumiWe are not in a hurry, because things made carefully last the longest.

LumiOne bubble, two bubbles, three bubbles, then four, brighter with every step.

BrikIt is finished! Look how beautiful it turned out.

BrikThe Four Bubble-Counting Steps are finished, and George hops up every one.

LumiLook, Bubu the goose and her seven golden goslings waddle by in a perfect line.

BrikCan you say gosling? Gosling. A fluffy baby goose, following close behind its mother.

LumiEvery little gosling walks exactly in Bubu's own footsteps, one behind the other.

LumiOh, Giggles, plain water alone cannot lift sticky mud off your own hands.

BrikHe grins, tries the soap instead, and beams proudly at his truly clean hands.

LumiThe garden settles back into its warm, sunny calm.

LumiTime to get to work, and work is much nicer when we do it together.

LumiOne small feeder, filled with golden seeds, right beside the fountain.

BrikWe are calling it The Morning Garden Feeder.

LumiPeck, peck, peck — every little chick loves a good breakfast in the morning sun.

BrikWe did it, and we did it together.

BrikThe Morning Garden Feeder is ready, and Coco's chicks are the first to visit.

LumiCan you say healthy? Healthy. Strong, well, and free from tiny, unwanted germs.

BrikClean hands help keep our whole body feeling healthy, strong, and well every day.

LumiTime for a question, think for a moment.

LumiBrik counted every rabbit and goose gathered near the bubble fountain.

BrikHow many friends are gathered near the fountain?

BrikTake your time, it is good to think a little longer.

LumiBravo, that is it! You are real Dream Builders.

BrikFive happy friends, gathered calmly. One, two, three, four, five.

LumiFive little friends, and every single one enjoys the very same warm morning sun.

BrikThe sun is climbing high above the garden now, warm on every clean little hand.

LumiThe sun is high above us, it is exactly noon, time for a little rest.

23:20What Is the Germ-Chasing Bubble Stage?

BrikLet us sit down for a moment and listen to how beautifully quiet it is around us.

LumiLet's rest a moment here in the warm midday sun, listening to the garden hum softly.

BrikLet's follow the warm midday sun, over to where the whole garden loves to play.

LumiPast the fountain, the ground opens into a small, sunny garden square.

BrikLeave a thumbs up if you are enjoying building with us, it helps other children find us.

LumiLook, warm soap bubbles drift softly through the whole sunny square.

BrikThis is the very best time to see soap really chase dirt clean away.

LumiCan you say sparkle? Sparkle. To shine with lots of tiny, bright little points of light.

BrikA duck! Can you say duck? Duck.

LumiHer name is Bubu, and she waddles closer to a small pond near the square.

BrikBubu quacks happily, chasing a few drifting soap bubbles with her beak.

LumiLet's build somewhere bright, right where the whole garden can watch soap work.

BrikBring the blocks, dear builders, we are starting something new.

BrikA wide, sparkling stage, glowing with colorful sudsy bubbles everywhere.

LumiWe are calling it The Germ-Chasing Bubble Stage.

BrikTiny glowing specks of glittery dirt scatter the moment soapy bubbles arrive.

LumiA little more and it will be ready, do you like it so far?

LumiBlock by block, and bubble by bubble, rising bright with the midday sun.

BrikCan you say scrub? Scrub. To rub something gently but firmly, all over, with care.

LumiBubu waddles right up to the stage, watching the glittery dirt scatter away.

BrikA good, gentle scrub reaches every little spot, even between each finger.

BrikIt is finished! Look how beautiful it turned out.

LumiThe Germ-Chasing Bubble Stage is finished, warm and glowing in the midday sun.

BrikCan you say twenty? Twenty. Counting slowly up to that number takes a good, long scrub.

LumiA scrub as long as counting slowly gives soap enough time to grab every speck.

LumiHere comes a riddle, say the answer out loud!

LumiBrik counted every glittery speck chased clean away by one good scrub.

BrikHow many glittery specks were chased away by that one scrub?

BrikHave a think, we will wait for you.

LumiWonderful, you got it! I am so proud of you.

BrikSeven glittery specks, chased away brightly. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.

LumiSeven tiny specks, and not one of them was left clinging on afterward.

BrikCan you say rhythm? Rhythm. A steady beat you can hum or clap along to.

LumiScrubbing to a little rhythm makes the whole job feel quick and fun.

BrikBubu paddles a slow circle, humming along in her own quacky way.

LumiCan you say nail? Nail. The smooth little shield at the tip of each finger.

BrikDirt loves to hide under a nail, so a good scrub checks there too.

LumiThe warm sun dries every damp hand almost as fast as the water rinses it.

BrikCan you say palm? Palm. The soft, flat middle part of your whole hand.

LumiSoap reaches the palm first, then spreads out to every finger in turn.

BrikNot one bubble on the stage pops without a bright little sparkle.

LumiThe whole square smells clean, warm, and faintly of soap-flower blossoms.

BrikLook what we are building today, come closer and watch with us!

LumiOne small signpost, pointing one way to the fountain, one to the stage.

BrikWe are calling it The Fountain-Or-Stage Signpost.

LumiOne arrow points back to the bubbles, the other to the sparkly stage.

LumiWe did it, and we did it together.

BrikThe Fountain-Or-Stage Signpost is ready, and Lumi reads it out loud, delighted.

BrikTime to get to work, and work is much nicer when we do it together.

29:40Does Rain Wash the Garden the Same Way?

BrikOne spinning pinwheel, right beside the stage, catching every warm breeze.

LumiWe are calling it The Garden Breeze Pinwheel.

BrikA cool breeze keeps the whole square comfortable, even under the strong sun.

LumiIt is finished! Look how beautiful it turned out.

LumiThe Garden Breeze Pinwheel spins gently, and Bubu watches it turn round.

LumiOh, Giggles, that giant bubble picked the very tip of your nose to pop on.

BrikHe laughs, dripping with suds, delighted by his own bubbly, foamy nose.

LumiThe square settles back into its warm, sunny calm.

BrikLook, way out past the square, a dark cloud is gathering, far away.

LumiQuick, let's build one small shed, right where our clean towels stay safe and dry.

BrikBring the blocks, dear builders, we are starting something new.

LumiOne tiny shed, just big enough for every soft, folded towel.

BrikWe are calling it The Little Towel Shed.

LumiIts little window lets us peek in at every towel, folded neat and dry.

LumiWe did it, and we did it together.

BrikThe Little Towel Shed is ready, tucked snug beside the bubble stage.

BrikThe sun is starting to lean low now, painting the whole square gold.

LumiLook, way out past the garden, that same dark cloud is rolling closer.

BrikThe whole sky darkens fast, and a bright zigzag flashes on the far horizon.

LumiLet's count together: light travels faster than sound, so we hear thunder after.

BrikAnd now a riddle, listen carefully.

BrikCount with Brik: one, two, three, and then comes the low, rolling boom.

LumiHow many seconds passed between the flash and the thunder?

LumiTake your time, it is good to think a little longer.

BrikWell done, exactly right! I heard how beautifully you answered.

BrikThree whole seconds, counted steady. One, two, three.

LumiThree seconds means that far-off storm is still safely, quietly distant.

BrikEven a warm rain washes the whole garden, the same gentle way soap washes hands.

LumiNot one leaf minds getting rinsed clean; the whole garden loves a gentle rain.

LumiTime for a question, think for a moment.

LumiBrik counted every fluffy gosling walking behind Bubu in one neat line.

BrikHow many goslings are walking in that line?

BrikHave a think, we will wait for you.

LumiBravo, that is it! You are real Dream Builders.

BrikSix fluffy goslings, walking neatly. One, two, three, four, five, six.

LumiSix little goslings, and every single one follows Bubu's own footsteps exactly.

BrikListen, the far-off rumble is fading, softer and slower, one by one.

LumiLook, the sky is clearing fast, bright and freshly washed above the garden.

BrikLook up — a whole bright rainbow is arching over the fountain, all on its own!

LumiEvery rabbit, duck, and goose nearby settles calm again in the warm sun.

LumiLet's follow the low, golden sun back toward the fountain and the whole garden.

LumiBack near the fountain, the whole sky is turning a deep, glowing orange and pink.

BrikLook, the sunset sky glows the same warm gold as our brightest soap bubble.

LumiCan you say sunset? Sunset. That is when the sun goes down low in the sky.

BrikCan you say dusk? Dusk. That is the soft, quiet time just before full dark.

BrikAs the great sun sinks low, the whole garden washes up before supper.

LumiLet's watch the sky turn deeper.

BrikIts glow fades slow and gentle.

BrikLook what we are building today, come closer and watch with us!

LumiOne small pyramid, built from tiny glowing blocks in every soapy bubble color.

BrikWe are calling it The Bubble-Color Pyramid.

BrikEvery little block glows its own bright hue, stacked five rows high.

LumiIt is finished! Look how beautiful it turned out.

LumiThe Bubble-Color Pyramid is ready, and it glows softly in the fading light.

LumiOh, Giggles, shaking dry sends water absolutely everywhere except onto a towel.

BrikHe grins, pats himself dry properly with the towel, giggling the whole time.

LumiThe garden settles back into its warm, glowing calm.

BrikGive us a thumbs up if you want to see the next episode!

LumiCan you say share? Share. To give some of what you have to a friend.

BrikTime to get to work, and work is much nicer when we do it together.

BrikOne small wooden bench, facing straight toward the whole glowing fountain.

LumiWe are calling it The Cottage-Watching Bench.

BrikSit here quietly, and watch every bubble glow softly against the dark sky.

LumiWe did it, and we did it together.

LumiThe Cottage-Watching Bench is ready, and Lumi is already curled up, watching.

BrikBrik pats the little bench gently, proud of the whole long, bubbly day.

LumiCan you say proud? Proud. We built and learned so much today.

BrikHere comes a riddle, say the answer out loud!

LumiBrik and Lumi washed their hands three times before supper, then four more times after.

BrikHow many times did they wash their hands altogether today?

LumiTake your time, it is good to think a little longer.

BrikWonderful, you got it! I am so proud of you.

38:20How Does the Whole Garden Get Ready for Supper?

BrikThree and four makes seven. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.

LumiCan you say altogether? Altogether.

BrikSeven good washes, and every single one kept their own two hands clean and well.

LumiCan you say gentle? Gentle. Soft and kind, never rough or too hard.

BrikA gentle scrub cleans just as well as a rough one, and feels much nicer too.

LumiCoco fluffs her feathers once, settling her chicks close beside her for the evening.

BrikCan you say routine? Routine. Something good you do the same way, in the same order.

LumiWet, soap, scrub, rinse, dry — the very same routine, every single time.

BrikTom sniffs at the last warm patch of sun before it fades behind the trees.

LumiNot one hand at the campfire tonight will ever go to supper still muddy.

BrikThe fountain's soft glow reflects on the whole garden's neatly folded towels.

LumiGeorge naps near the pyramid, whiskers twitching in the cool evening air.

LumiLet's build one last place, right where the whole garden can rest, clean and warm.

LumiBring the blocks, dear builders, we are starting something new.

BrikA wide, welcoming camp, ringed with lanterns from one side to the other.

LumiWe are calling it The Clean Hands Campfire.

BrikOne by one, its lanterns glow, each one warmer than the last.

BrikBlock by block, slowly, and it is already growing taller.

LumiPost by post, and lantern by lantern, filling up with today's last golden light.

BrikThe campfire glows the same warm orange as the whole sunset sky above it.

LumiCoco settles close to the fire, her chicks tucked warm beneath her own wings.

BrikEvery friend gathers close, sharing supper with clean, warm, happy hands.

LumiIt is finished! Look how beautiful it turned out.

LumiThe Clean Hands Campfire is finished, glowing warm under the very first stars.

BrikLook, it is dark again now, just like it was at the start of our day.

LumiBut this time, we know exactly why washing hands with soap matters so much.

BrikSoap grabs the dirt loose, and a good rinse carries it safely away with water.

LumiListen to the garden grow quiet.

BrikCan you say cozy? Cozy.

LumiCozy just means warm, soft, and safe, exactly like our whole garden tonight.

BrikNot one hand tonight stayed muddy without a good, warm wash.

LumiA single lantern still glows in the same cottage window, steady every night.

BrikSomewhere close by, a cricket starts up its same, steady song once more.

LumiTom's ears twitch softly in the very last warm light before dark settles.

42:40Why Do We Really Wash Our Hands? The Whole Answer

BrikThe whole garden smells of warm soap and cool, settling evening air.

LumiNot one lantern around the whole camp glows in quite the same gold.

BrikA single star returns to the same corner of the sky, night after night.

LumiGeorge naps curled up beside the pyramid, warm in its colorful glow.

BrikThe night feels calm, complete, and wonderfully, warmly clean.

BrikIf you want to build with us tomorrow, ask your mum or dad to press Subscribe.

LumiPress Subscribe together with your parents, and Brik and Lumi will be here waiting for you tomorrow.

BrikIf you had a good time with us, press Subscribe so you do not lose our cartoon.

LumiThe stars are twinkling again, and our long, beautiful day is slowly coming to an end.

BrikWe built so much today, and we learned even more.

LumiThank you for being with us, it was much nicer together.

BrikSo remember, soap grabs the dirt, water carries it away, and clean hands keep us well.

LumiThe fountain glows soft and warm one last time, calm under the bright stars.

LumiGiggles waves from far away before he disappears for the night, and the little bells on his cap ring softly.

BrikBye bye! Sleep sweetly, our dear friends.
