NARRATOR: Hello everyone.
What are you doing?
SNOOT: (ALIEN LANGUAGE)
NARRATOR: Playing with your stacking meebs, of course.
How many meebs in your stack, Snoot?
SNOOT: (ALIEN LANGUAGE)
NARRATOR: 18! Very impressive.
What about your stack Fin?
FIN: (ALIEN LANGUAGE)
NARRATOR: 20 meebs! Wow!
That’s even more than Snoot.
I’ve got an idea.
Why not stack all your meebs together to make one super stack?
BOTH: Aha!
NARRATOR: If you add 20 to 18, how many meebs will you have altogether?
SNOOT: Er... Uh...
NARRATOR: Don’t worry Snoot.
You’ve almost got the same number of meebs, so you can work it out by doubling your 18, and then adding 2, because Fin’s got 20, 2 more than you.
2 times 18 makes 36, add 2 equals 38 meebs all together.
FIN: (ALIEN LANGUAGE)
NARRATOR: Well, if you’ve got another way of doing it Fin, go ahead.
Ah, I see.
You prefer to double your 20 meebs first, and then take away 2, because Snoot’s 18 meebs is 2 less than your 20.
2 times 20 makes 40, take away 2 equals...
38 again.
SNOOT: (ALIEN LANGUAGE)
NARRATOR: I know Snoot, it’s exactly the same as what you had before.
2 times 20 take away 2 is the same as 2 times 18 add 2.
BOTH: Aha!
NARRATOR: Right then, time to take down your stacks and make one super stack.
PLIMBLE: Plimble!
NARRATOR: Now that really is a stack!
Yours is still very good...
Ah...
