A room builds up one thing at a time: a table with food and a bowl of candy, a high shelf with medicine and a cleaner marked with the poison symbol, and a child. Copies of the medicine and the cleaner are crossed out in the candy bowl and on the plate because they are never food or candy. Then a trusted adult reads the label, gives the child one spoonful and puts the bottle back up high, and the video ends on the line "Only a trusted adult gives medicine."
