The city life is active: cars are in a hurry, beeping, some of them go to work and some
on business.
// But where is Handy-Andy?
Cannot see him.
Garage is closed and there is no car outside.
Maybe Handy-Andy went away somewhere.
// But no, here he is!
Handy-Andy: Hello my friends!
I've been working in garage today from early morning.
I decided to test my flying car Megamax . it’s not a toy and I need to check it very carefully
to make sure that it always works.
Oops.
Just a second, somebody is calling me!
Handy-Andy (on the phone): Hello!
Talking!
Emmy (on the phone): Hi Handy-Andy!
It’s Emmy!
I’m calling to invite you to a picnic.
We didn’t meet for a long time!
Do you agree?
Handy-Andy (on the phone): Emmy!
I’m so happy to hear you!
Of course, I agree!
How are we going to meet?
Do you want me pick you up?
Emmy (on the phone): I’m driving now too!
So I’ll pick you up in half hour.
Is it enough time for you to get ready?
Handy-Andy (on the phone): Sure!
I’m waiting for you!
Handy-Andy (hung up): ok my friends!
I have to go and get ready for picnic – Emmy is coming soon.
(scared because of the sound of the brakes outside) What’s that??
What’s the strange sound??!
Where is the car going so fast??!
(Commenting the car’s movements) Yes, pickup is going extremely fast… hits everything
on its way!
It might be brolen brakes……OOPS!
The car is old – to go so fast!
Oh!
The tire burst!
OMG!
Sparks are rolling in from the wheels!
// The driver cannot control the car!
There is no brakes!
Handy-Andy: I’ll tell you how they installed in the car: each wheel connected to a brake
disk.
When the car is going the brake disk is turning around together with a wheel.
// Next to the disk there are brake pads.
When the driver needs to stop he press the brake pedal, the pads cuddle to the disk and
stop it.
// And the car stops!
What should the driver in pickup do?
I don’t have any idea.
His brake system isn’t working.
The situation is very dangerous!
The driver in pickup (old man’s voice, screaming and scaring): АААААААА!
Handy-Andy: Wow!!!
The driver of pickup is a real brave man!
He understood that can bump into other cars , there are a lot of them on the bridge – he
turns the steering wheel fast and the car goes down from the bridge.
Unexpectedly!
// oops!
It goes under the water very fast!
The driver in pickup (old man’s voice, screaming and scaring): I'm going under the water!
ААААА!
Handy-Andy (worried): I have to do something!
We cannot waste time!
In a few minutes pickup and the driver will be under the water!
I can rescue them on my flying super-fast Megamax, I’ll be there faster than any rescue
team!
(arrived to the place) Here we go!
I see them!
// I will release a rescue winch and try using a hook and rope to pull the pickup out of
the water.
(pulling the pickup) Great!
I almost did it!
A bit left!
A bit more……Now let’s put it down!
Careful!
Done!
The driver and the car are rescued!
(doing the dead loop in the air) ahu!!!
I did it!
// I’m so happy to help that man!
// Here is an ambulance!
And the police car!
// Wow!
Rescue helicopter also came!
Handy-Andy (on the bridge, after all what happened): What a story was, my friends!
It was great that my flying car was working…
(the phone is ringing) I forgot about Emmy (answering the phone)
Handy-Andy (on the phone, feeling guilty and shy): Hi Emmy!
Emmy (on the phone, annoyed): Where are you Handy-Andy?
I’m tired to wait?!!
I came – but you are not at home!
We agreed to meet!
Handy-Andy (on the phone, talking very fast): Don’t be angry at me, Emmy, please!
There were unforeseen circumstances.
I’m going to explain everything!
I’ll come in a few minutes!
Handy-Andy (hung up): Ok my friends, I have to go!
Emmy is waiting for me!
She is getting angry!
See you soon!
Bye-bye!
