Fixies go to Fixie schools And study to be masters.
There's so much they need to learn To save us from disasters!
There isn't one appliance That they don't know about.
But if you meet a Fixie, please, Don't let their secret out!
The Airbag
We’re going to be late!
We’ll make it!
Oh, wow!
Hey, slow down there!
I’m a super duper racer!
Well-well, Fire.
Again, risking your life!
Super racers like me can always count on luck!
You know, Fire, counting on good luck is stupid.
It would be better if you would keep your mind on safety.
Actually,
today Professor Eugenius has something really special to show us.
He's going to be testing an airbag.
What's that?
Digit, explain it.
Everybody riding in a car has to wear their seatbelt,
because if the car has to stop quickly, the belt will hold the person back.
But there are times when even seat belts don't give enough protection.
Like when a fast moving car crashes into something.
When that happens the driver and passengers can be protected by an airbag.
You can’t see them when they're folded up because they're hidden.
But if the car is in a crash, the airbags blow up very quickly,
and the person bumps into the bag instead of banging into the steering wheel,
or flying through the windshield.
Here I come.
And once again, when something dangerous must be tested,
Professor Eugenious tests it on himself.
But Grandpus, aren't you scared that it won't blow up with air?
Don't worry about the air.
A three, and a two, and a one…
The airbag filled up in an instant!
Did you notice?
Yes. But how does it do it?
There is a chemical inside of there that quickly burns
and instantly turns into a gas the moment the crash takes place.
The gas fills the airbag and there you go.
Did I explain that right, Professor?
We've got to get him out!
Stop!
We'd better call for help!
Professor?
Do you need some help?
Thank you, Elisa.
Sorry to take you from your work!
You're free to go.
Professor, how did you manage to press the button from way over there?
I managed to hit it on the fly!
You are just astounding!
To keep small children safe while they are riding in a car,
they must be buckled up with a seatbelt inside of a special booster chair.
But kids also need to be careful when they're riding a bicycle,
skateboarding,
roller-skating,
or riding a scooter.
First of all, it's best to keep off of roads where there's too much traffic.
Second, put your protective gear on:
for your arms and legs wear elbow pads, gloves and kneepads;
for your head - wear a helmet.
That way if you fall down, you won't get badly hurt.
And third, make sure that people can see you.
If you are out riding in the evening,
your clothes and bike must have safety reflectors on them.
They let drivers see where you are
by reflecting the light from their headlights back at them.
Remember, better safe than sorry!
Here we go.
Well, I hope this time I've got it.
Should we call his assistant right now, just in case?
Let's just wait and see.
Ready, set, go!
Grandpus, he needs to be rescued!
Uh, no need.
I made a change to it.
Now the bag not only inflates automatically,
it deflates itself as well!
Splendid!
As you Fixies say,
Tideesh!
- Today's lesson is done! - Hurrah! Come on!
Where's my fixiboard?!
I've got your fixiboard, Fire.
Here you go.
I just went and equipped it with an airbag.
Really?
How come?!
You know I’m a super racer!
See?
And that's why I installed it.
Super racers don’t need airbags.
We never,
never,
ever…
Careful!
Oh wow!
Is that airbag cool or what?
It's a very original design he used there.
That design is my own.
And Fire ran the test.
Professor, will you make an airbag for each one of us?
You all will get them.
Real soon.
But even so…
Caution and care make accidents rare!
Can you believe that Fixies are Such itty-bitty creatures?
Even when they’re magnified It’s hard to see their features.
They’re tiny, infinitesimal, So small it makes you doubt.
But if you meet a Fixie, please, Don’t let their secret out!
The Oven
Now here he is! Our death defying acrobat!
Nolik, don't!
I’m not Nolik! I’m an acrobat!
- You’re going to fall. - I'm not going to!
Mm-hmm. I see.
Every single time with him it's the same old story:
he gets himself into trouble, and I have to get him out of it.
No-no-no! I’m falling!
Hold on!
I'm just joking!
Nolik, you’re a knucklehead!
Simka! Toola!
We're down here!
Look who's in trouble this time, heh?
This isn't funny at all!
Need some help?
We can mange this ourselves!
Right, Toola?
Well, alright then. See you later!
We've got to get out of here!
Tom Thomas’ mom is coming!
Hide!
Hi, Tom Thomas!
Hi, Nolik!
Are you up for a ride?
Because this train is leaving the station!
Nice place.
It's the oven!
It’s beautiful in here. And not hot at all.
Splendid!
It isn't hot right now,
because it only started warming up.
An oven is a cabinet with a heater.
It can get so hot inside that it will roast whatever's in there.
As a matter of fact, that’s what ovens are for.
People roast meat inside of them it and bake things too.
Some ovens burn gas for heat,
and others use electricity.
They have special electric coils that get red-hot
and heat everything that's inside the oven.
So be careful around ovens!
A hot oven can burn you very badly!
It really is getting so hot!
We've got to get out of this oven right away!
Simka, we’re about to get roasted in here!
Yeah! Inside of a fresh baked fixie cake.
I don’t want to!
You think I do?
Here, grab on tight!
This way!
Be careful! You'll fall off!
Oh, your just like Simka!
She told me the same thing, and then she was the one who fell.
Right into the batter!
Together with Toola.
What? They both fell in the dough?
Oh yeah! And they're probably still stuck in there too!
Tom Thomas, the cake is fresh out of the oven.
Do you want to try some?
Where could they be, huh?
I don't know.
Maybe they're inside the cake.
They could've turned into screws.
We've got to find them!
Hey, what are you doing?
Eat! Stop playing!
Hey, watch out!
You could break your teeth!
The first ovens in ancient homes were nothing more than simple fire pits
where people cooked on hot coals.
Later on, the stove was invented.
Every house had a stove made out of stone, clay, or cast iron.
People would burn wood or coal in them.
These stoves produced enough heat to make soup or bake a cake.
And then in the 19th century the gas stove was invented.
Gas stoves are much more practical than wood-burning stoves.
One second and the gas is burning,
a few more minutes and the water is boiling.
They're very convenient, but they they can also be dangerous,
Because if the pipes aren't in a good condition, there can be an explosion!
Today there are also stoves and ovens that run with electricity.
They use electric heating elements for frying,
boiling, or baking foods without fire at all.
Tom Thomas!
I think you'll explode!
But it's so incredibly good!
I just can’t stop eating it!
Keep chewing Tom Thomas!
That's as much as I can chew.
Hey, what are you guys up to?
Uh... up to?
We're trying to save you!
You’re not in the cake?!
Then how come I was eating all of this?
I hate cake!
Uh, maybe it's because that's what good friends do.
Yeah, he's a good friend, who's got a really good appetite!
