WOEFUL SECOND WORLD WAR
An announcer started to speak.
"Need to see at night during the blackout? Well, why not try the new trend in Britain known as painting things white?"
England appeared on screen with a paintbrush and white paint.
"Yes, painting things white, because during the blackout all lights will be off, and I mean all lights."
The lights turned off and England was left in the dark.
"Hey I can't see."
"This is why painting things white was popular during WW2. Because moonlight and starlight reflected off of the paint."
A sign popped up that said, "True."
"Also, be warned that during this time the no lights allowed thing is very serious, just a few careless light lit up could mean a bomb for London. So start painting whatever you can find. Paint your streets, trees, hydrants, streetlight posts, cars, and even farm animals."
Another sign popped up that said, "True."
England began to paint until the announcer said.
"Also, if you plan to go out at night remember to try and wear or carry something white."
England appeared with white gloves and a newspaper.
"As for girls, try to be aware of your rations and know that there are no new dresses being made, so remember to get creative, try our new curtain dress to go with anything you make."
A puppet rat appeared in the next scene,
"It's true, during the war the people of London couldn't turn on their lights at night. So they painted just about everything with white stripes in order to see a little better at night. And women couldn't wear brand new dresses so they had to get creative restoring old dresses, or making new ones out of whatever fabric they could find, including curtains."
