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!
They take care of our machines, Irons, phones, and toasters,
MP3s and TV screens, Even rollercoasters!
Without them clocks stop ticking; Without them lights go out!
But if you meet a Fixie, please, Don’t let their secret out!
The Elevator
Papus, Masiya, we gotta hurry!
How come?!
Tom Thomas is going to see the circus!
And what?
We want to go with him! Can we?
The answer is no!
Just you kids, without supervision?
Who said no supervision?
His parents are taking him there.
We’ll be careful. Don't worry.
They won’t even notice us.
Well, if Tom Thomas’ parents will be there…
- Hurrah! - Hurrah!
We can go!
Wait a second! I didn't even say, "Yes"… yet.
Yeah.
Simka, Nolik, where are you?
We've got to hurry up!
- Tom Thomas, it's time to go! - I’ll be right there!
We’re ready!
Climb into my hood.
I know who's going to the circus today!
Woah!
What just happened?
I think that the elevator broke down!
Don’t you worry!
Emergency operator.
We got stuck in the elevator!
Understood. Please wait.
We'll have the elevator fixed within the hour.
That long?!
That means we won't get to the circus on time.
Tom Thomas, we’ll go get Papus and Masiya!
I'm sure they can fix it.
People need elevators to help them get to the upper floors of tall buildings.
When someone steps into an elevator and presses a button,
the elevator's electrical engine starts up.
It pulls the cable that is attached to the elevator cabin,
and the elevator goes to the desired floor.
The cable hangs over a wheel,
and it usually has a heavy counterbalancing weight attached to the other end of it.
This counter weight balances the elevator
and helps the electric motor do its job.
I wonder what the reason is?
I think I see something over there that got stuck!
Looks like you found the reason!
We got to go and fix it now or we'll never get to the circus on time!
You know, we can just have it right here!
Ladies and gentlemen!
Presenting the Fixies Spectacular!
And now your attention please on the high wire!
Woah!
Just don't look down!
Then I'll close my eyes and I won't look anywhere at all.
And now we bring you, our very own aerial gymnasts!
Tideesh!
Our next act - feats of strength!
It won't come out!
I know how to fix it!
With a death-defying circus act. Point your eyes up!
Masiya, where are you going?
Up to the electric motor!!!
Do you know the right way to behave yourself inside of an elevator?
First of all, small children should never get into an elevator by themselves!
They should only go in with their parents or other adults they know well.
When getting on to an elevator,
the adult should always enter first, and then the child.
When it's time to get out, it's the other way around:
first the child leaves, and then the adult.
If you are taking a dog onto an elevator,
make sure its tail and leash are completely inside,
so they don't get stuck in the door.
And there's one more thing.
If the elevator suddenly stops for some unknown reason,
don’t try to break out of it yourself!
Press the button that calls the emergency operator
and wait for help from the elevator repairmen...
or the fixies!
I reached the motor!!!
Turn it on!!!
Oh! They fixed it!
That was quick!
Now we’ll make it on time.
There was no need to worry.
Stop!
It’s way too high!
Tom Thomas went to the circus without us!
There's no need to get that upset, Nolik!
Our circus is as good as theirs.
Right, Papus?
Of course it is!
Thank you!!!
Thank you? To who?
What do you mean, "Who"?
The elevator repairmen!
