♪ Ask Ruff First.

Hi! Our question today is fromTalia and Caleb, who ask:

Hi, Ruff!And welcome to Ruff Putts!

RUFF: Thanks for having me.

TALIA: Today, we madea golf course made out of

materials we foundfrom the house.

CALEB: Our problem is the towerthat we made out of boxes.

Whenever there's a gust of wind,it blows over.

RUFF: Yup, that is a gust,all right.

I only go out whenthere's a light breeze.

TALIA: The course is great,

but we just want to finishour round of golf.

Do you have any ideashow to keep

our tower from blowing over?

Well, Talia and Caleb,

your problem reminds me ofmy great-great-grand-uncle...

...the famous Frenchcanine architect Ruffois!

Back in , he was hiredto build a tower

for the World's Fair in Paris.

Ahh, a lightweight towermade of cardboard walls,

and those tubes you find inrolls of paper towels.

It is revolutionary!

RUFF: But right after it wasconstructed...

[wind howling]

...a breeze sent the whole towertumbling away.

[crash]

That is not, how you say,awesome.

Chetois!

Blossóm!

We must redesignthe tower tout de suite!

RUFF: Ruffois thought there wassomething wrong

with the cardboard.

So they tried building a tower

with aluminum foil walls.

It... blew away.

RUFFOIS: Ah, le wind.

It blows my towers.

[crying]

[grumbling]

Aha!

RUFF: And one more with wallsmade from Ruffois's collection

of pajamas and long underwear.

And...

that also blew away.

[Ruffois groaning]

That was all my pajamas!

Now I must sleep in my pants.

And I have no tower.

RUFF: But Ruffois's assistant,Blossóm, had an idea.

Ah... what is this, you say?

RUFF: Blossóm figured out thatwhen the wind blew,

it pushed on the walls ofRuffois's towers.

That's why they kept fallingover.

And she came up with a daringidea to fix the problem,

cut holes in the towers!

That way, there would be lesswall for the wind

to push against.

Now I know whereBlossom gets her brains from.

[chuckling]

Blossóm built a couple of smallmodels to test her idea.

The wind blew just as hardagainst each tower,

but the model with holes didn'thave as much wall for the wind

to push against.

So the wind couldn'tpush it over!

Blossóm!

Chetois!

We must do a test at full scale.

Bring me the fan gigantique.

RUFF: So they built a towerjust like their first one,

only with holes in the walls,and who'd have guessed?

Putting holes in it actuallymade it more stable in the wind.

And now we build thisin Paris!

RUFF: But on arrivingback in Paris,

apparently some guy named Eiffel

stole Blossóm's idea and madehis own tower.

[Ruffois sobbing]

And the only thing Ruffois isknown for today

is the Pajama-and-Long-UnderwearDoghouse.

Not a hit, though I like it.

That could work for ours too.

Let's go try it out!

RUFF: Ah, now they're cuttingholes in the tower.



All right, now let's testthe tower with holes

against the tower without holes.

TALIA: It's slightly moving.

The one with no holesis slightly moving,

and so is the one with holes.

They're both kind of movingat the same rate.

We're gonna move ita little forward.

RUFF: Oh, they both seemto be teetering.

[Talia gasps]

The one without holes fell down!

It's actually working.

The wind is passingthrough the holes

instead of pushingagainst the wall,

so it stays up!

RUFF: Hail science!

TALIA: Hey, Ruff!

We took your advice and cutholes in the tower

so the wind can pass through.

CALEB: The wind can't pushon the tower as hard,

and the tower's notblowing over anymore.

Yeah!

RUFF: Nice putt!

Thanks!Bye, Ruff!

No problem, guys!

Any time.

Happy golfing!

Because on ARF!,

there's always something newto learn.

Like... some mice can growmoustaches.

Lookin' good there, Chet.
