The Full Basket · House #5 | Why Won't the Dryer Dry? | Avery's Toolbelt | Story Time

Story Time edition: this is "The Full Basket · House #5" - the same episode as the kids edition - read aloud slowly by a storyteller, with the characters in their own voices. A calm listen for a quiet afternoon, bedtime, or a grown-up and a child on the sofa together. The faster kids edition is on the channel too. The laundry basket has been full for a week - full of clean clothes that are still a bit damp. Avery decides the dryer is broken. But it still goes round, and it still gets hot. And Mom realizes she has been running every load twice for two weeks without noticing. Mom pulls out the flat screen at the front of the dryer, and Avery peels off the fluff in one whole gray sheet. Gus names it Cloud and carries it on two flat hands for the rest of the afternoon. Then they go outside to find the little flap on the side of the house, and watch it puff. What children find out: a dryer blows warm air through the clothes and out again, carrying the wet with it. If the fluff blocks the way out, the clothes stay damp and the machine gets hot - so the screen gets cleaned before every load. For grown-ups: an episode about a slow change nobody noticed, and a fix that takes four seconds. "Nothing ever goes bang. It just gets slower." Avery's Toolbelt is a calm, hands-on show for ages 3-6: real tools, real cars, real kitchens, and a grown-up's hands on anything that's hot, sharp or moving. 故事時間版：這是「滿滿的那籃・家 #5」——和兒童版同一集——由說故事的人慢慢唸出來，角色用自己的聲音說話。適合安靜的午後、睡前，或大人陪孩子一起坐在沙發上聽。頻道上也有節奏比較快的兒童版。 洗衣籃已經滿了一個星期——裝滿了洗乾淨、卻還有點濕的衣服。Avery 認定烘衣機壞了。可是它還會轉，也還會變熱。這時媽媽發現，這兩個星期以來，她每一籃衣服都烘了兩次，自己卻完全沒注意到。 媽媽把烘衣機前面那片平平的濾網抽出來，Avery 把上面的棉絮撕下來，一整片灰灰的，完全沒有破。Gus 幫它取名叫「雲朵」，一整個下午都用兩隻攤平的手捧著它。然後他們走到屋外，找到房子側邊那個小小的蓋板，看著它一噗一噗地往外吹。 孩子會發現：烘衣機是把暖空氣吹過衣服，再吹出去，順便把濕氣帶走。如果棉絮把出口堵住了，衣服就會一直濕濕的，機器也會越來越熱——所以每一次烘衣服之前，都要先把濾網清乾淨。 給大人：這一集講的是一個沒有人注意到的慢慢改變，還有一個只要四秒鐘的修理方法。「從來不會突然砰一聲。它只是越來越慢。」
