NARRATOR: Maggie wants a safe and strong place
for her doggie to sleep, right doggie?
Yeah, right.
So she and her dad are designing a sturdy doghouse.
First, they got themselves some sturdy wood and cut through it.
And now, they're using screws to hold
the wood together-- nice and sturdy.
They're taking nails, and they're going to use a hammer,
and put the nails and the wood together,
to make the house really sturdy.
Wow!
That looks like a sturdy roof, guys.
Aw, now they're painting it.
Look at that!
The house is sturdy, right doggie?
Ruff.
PIG 1: I predict that the air from the fan
will blow the straw, and the sticks, but not
the heavy bricks.
PIG 2: Me, too.
PIG 3: Me three.
PIG 1: Come on, let's turn on the fan and see what happens.
REPORTER 1: I got it, fellows.
Here you go.
OK.
Well, this is [INAUDIBLE] history in the making, folks.

Oh, there goes the straw.
REPORTER 1: Now the air from the fan is moving the sticks.
REPORTER 2: There go the sticks.
PIG 2: Ooh.
PIG 3: Hey.
PIG 1: But look-- the bricks are not moving.

It must be the best.
