| 0:00.0 | Hey there, Smarty Pants. Welcome back to Smarty Q, where your pal, the trusty narrator, answers questions from my pals, the Smarty Pants. |
| 0:13.0 | We've got six great questions today, so let's get smarted. |
| 0:19.8 | Question one comes from a number of Smarty Pants who want to know, what does St. Patrick's Day celebrate? |
| 0:25.5 | Great question. St. Patrick's Day is celebrated on March 17th to honor St. Patrick, a real person who lived over 1,500 years ago. |
| 0:34.7 | He's known as the patron saint of Ireland. St. Patrick helped spread Christianity |

| 1:22.4 | So how do they float? |
| 1:24.1 | Well, it turns out clouds are made of millions of tiny water droplets or ice crystals, |
| 1:29.1 | each one so small in light that it can float on air. You might also remember that warm air |
| 1:35.1 | rises, and as it does so, it carries water vapor with it. When that vapor cools, it turns |
| 1:40.9 | into tiny droplets that grouped together to form clouds. Because the droplets are so |
| 1:46.8 | tiny, and because rising air currents keep pushing them upward, clouds can stay floating for a long, |
| 1:53.5 | long time. All right, question three comes from Deakin's smarty sibling, Dakota, who wants to know |
