Excellence in the Community... a la Shmoop.

00:07

They say home is where the heart is. [Grandpa walking to a home]

00:09

They say the power of community to create health is far greater that of any physician,

00:14

clinic or hospital. [Grandpa approaches boy wearing an orange arm cast]

00:15

They say making a video about trolls wouldn’t make sense…

00:18

They say we shouldn’t make a video about trolls…

00:20

We say…we do what we want. Say you're part of a family of trolls. [Man giving a presentation on no troll videos]

00:25

You guys help each other do troll-y things like.. hunting things, and... uh, doing magical

00:30

and sword-fight-y things? …What do trolls do…. [Red smoke and troll with a sword appears]

00:33

Well whatever they do, we’re sure it’s great.

00:35

Now imagine if you had a community of troll clans.

00:38

The more trolls you have pitching in to help your troll community, the stronger it becomes, [Trolls working together walking over a bridge]

00:42

and the more opportunities arise from it.

00:44

You could rely on each other for security, you could learn how to use magic, or how to

00:48

sew, or play hopscotch or whatever it is trolls do. Seriously, what do trolls do…? [Troll playing hop-scotch]

00:54

And you know what the best part of being a good member of your troll community is?

00:57

It's how rewarding helping out the community can really be. [Troll down by the river]

01:00

Whether it's helping an old troll carry her groceries, or running a class for young trolls

01:04

to learn to play troll instruments… [Troll learning how to play the guitar]

01:06

…the key to a happy, fulfilling, and enriching life as a troll is to give to the community.

01:10

…Okay, so our analogy wasn’t perfect. Whatever. Trolls are cool. So are communities.

01:14

They’re your extended family. They’re where you came from. They’re who you know

01:18

and who you care about. They support you. [People appear at a birthday party in a garden]

01:20

And if you treat your community right, it’ll always be there for you.

01:24

So pitch in now and again. It’s pretty rewarding.

01:26

And if you don’t... the trolls will get you. Or something. [Door bell rings and troll with a sword appears]

01:29

Alright, we’ll brush up on trolls before we use them as an analogy again…geesh.
