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 Cellphone
Hey, Nolik! Come on out and play!
He is not allowed.
He was punished.
Can you tell me what you did?
I grabbed a pack-o-mat, and I forgot to ask.
How long do you have to sit there?
Until Masiya and Papus come home from their… boosiness.
What did you say?
Business. A work trip.
They're inside of your father’s cellphone right now.
They were busy doing repairs in there when he left the house for work.
Do you know the reason why a mobile phone is also called a cellphone?
Mobile phones are connected to other mobile phones with the help of special radio stations
that are put on top of towers and building roofs.
Each one of these stations sends signals to it's own area below.
And each area is called a cell.
A mobile phone works anywhere it can find a nearby station that it can connect to.
So as long as there is a station nearby you can talk as much as you want.
You can even move from one cell to another.
And without you ever knowing it your mobile phone will switch from one station to another one.
So your conversation can keep on going
even if you're running after a bus or riding on it!
Tom Thomas, hello!
There you go! My dad came back home already.
Hi Dad! How are you?
Can you believe it? It looks like I lost my phone!
What do you mean you lost it? Where?
I have no idea!
So what, I'm gonna have to sit in here forever now?
You? Our parents are missing!
The phone stopped shaking a while now.
We're probably already at home.
Not home to me!
How can we ever get home to our children?
- Where is my Masiya? - Don’t whine. We'll work something out.
Don't worry!
I got a phone! Let's give them a ring!
They can't answer your call.
But what if they answer us? Call them, Tom Thomas!
- I th… - Don’t even think it!
We're not allowed to talk to humans!
We’re not gonna talk to them.
We’re just gonna listen. We need to close the contacts.
It's no use.
Oh! They answered the phone!
Let me talk!
Papus, Masiya! It’s me, Simka!
Simka?
Yeah! Masiya, where are you?
In the telephone!
The phone part is not what she's asking you!
Oh! It smells a lot like gasoline in here.
Ask your father, was he anywhere around gasoline?
Dad!
Dad, did you go anywhere today where it smells like gasoline?
Gasoline?
I had to go to the gas station.
That's the place where your telephone disappeared!
Are you sure?
Yeah!
Well, I’ve got…
Intuition.
Intuition?
Intuition, ah?
You know what?
I’ll go check.
Tideesh!
Come and check out our fixie-ringtone!
Your telephone is…
Your telephone is, telephone is, Tele-, tele-, tele-, tele-, telephone is…
Zing-bing – your telephone is Ringing – your telephone is
Ringing – your telephone is Ringing, won’t you answer please?
Zing-bing – your telephone is Ringing – your telephone is
Ringing – your telephone is Ringing, won’t you answer please?
Your phone is ringing!
It's just incredible!
You see? I found it!
Son, you’re one clairvoyant!
I didn't notice when it fell out of my pocket back at the gas station!
- My children! - Oh, my Masiya!
Papus!
Ah, my sweeties!
So... just by any chance…
You think you might happen to know where I can find that nice watch I lost?
No.
Don't worry, there is no rush. Just use that... intuition you've got!
