00:00They take care of our machines, Irons, phones, and toasters,
00:09MP3s and TV screens, Even rollercoasters!
00:13Without them clocks stop ticking, Without them lights go out!
00:17But if you meet a Fixie, please, Don't let their secret out!
00:31Shh!
00:33The Baby Monitor
00:40Oh! It's my old baby monitor!
00:43On!
00:45Check, check! Checking! One, two, three, checking!
00:48It's working!
00:50Why don't we give it to the Johnsons? I just had a baby the other day.
00:54Uh-uh, this is mine! And I'm planning on using it!
00:58Aren't you a little too big for it?
01:00No, I'm not big at all!
01:02Well, I didn't realize that you're still a little boy.
01:06And a greedy one at that!
01:11They're never gonna notice this!
01:13Hey, Fixies! Are you here?
01:19We're here now!
01:20Why did you call us?
01:22I gotta show you how I turned into a mind reader!
01:25I find that just a little hard to believe.
01:28OK, then I'll show you.
01:29I'll leave you alone and then you'll hide this button wherever you want.
01:33Then I'll come back and find it.
01:36You got it!
01:39So where's a good hiding place?
01:41Well, we gotta think of one.
01:44Right here, under the keyboard. Great!
01:47Go on, Nolik!
01:51Come on in!
01:53We're ready for you!
01:55Now I'm going to read your thoughts.
01:59Here I go.
02:02You hid the button here.
02:04Look!
02:05Ta-da!
02:06He really does read minds!
02:08That was a lucky guess. Bet you can't do it again.
02:11Well, I bet you I can.
02:15We're gonna have to be sneakier.
02:20Verda, she's the most beautiful girl in our class.
02:23She knows it, too, and doesn't hesitate to use it.
02:27She can even be a bit sneaky.
02:29Like when she needs help with her homework,
02:31then Digit suddenly becomes her best friend.
02:33But if she doesn't want to carry her pack-o-mat,
02:36she'll say,
02:37Fire, please help me. You're just such a strong fixie.
02:41But all us boys like her just the same.
02:44Digit does, and Nolik does, and I guess I do, too.
02:48Although, I really like Simka more.
02:51Or maybe Verda. Or both of them.
02:54I haven't decided yet.
02:56Verda can be difficult, and even bossy sometimes.
02:59But one thing I know for sure, Verda's a good friend.
03:02A friend that'll always come help.
03:04Well, that is if she's able to pry herself away from the mirror.
03:12I think that we should throw it down into this pencil cup.
03:15But then we concentrate on another place.
03:18That is good, but it won't work, Fixies.
03:21Come on in!
03:34It's in here!
03:38Simka, were you thinking about the cup?
03:40No, I swear!
03:42And my mind was blank.
03:44Then who did, huh?
03:49Uh-huh!
03:50Tom Thomas, where do you say we go again?
03:53As many times as you want!
03:56I know how he's been doing all of this.
03:58It's a baby monitor.
04:00That's how he can hear what we're saying.
04:02I don't get it!
04:06A baby monitor helps parents watch over their babies.
04:10The system has two units that look like wireless telephones.
04:14The parents keep one of the units by their side
04:17and put the other one in the room where the baby is sleeping.
04:20If the baby suddenly wakes up and starts crying,
04:24the unit in the baby's room will pick up the sound
04:27and send it by radio waves to the parent's unit.
04:30Mom or dad will hear the crying and go and comfort their child.
04:37And so, he's listening to us now.
04:41This time I know what we should do.
04:45We'll hide it under the globe.
04:50Go on!
04:58Huh? Where is it?
04:59If you read our minds, you'd find your button under the baby monitor.
05:04You tricked me! That's really not nice.
05:07And spying on us is nice, you think.
05:09I'm sorry, I just thought it'd be fun.
05:11Well, anyhow, Tom Thomas, you're too old for this thing.
05:14Unless, of course, you still need it.
05:17I'm not a baby. I was just, you know, checking it.
05:21I'll go and give it to Mom.
05:23Mom, I'm not greedy.
05:25About what?
05:26Let's give this monitor to the Johnsons and this car is for their baby boy.
05:32I don't think that baby is big enough yet for your car.
05:35So what? Soon he's gonna get bigger and become a big boy, right? Like me!
05:47Can you believe that Fixies are Such itty-bitty creatures?
05:51Even when they're magnified It's hard to see their features.
05:56They're tiny, infinitesimal, So small it makes you doubt.
06:00But if you meet a Fixie, please, Don't let their secret out!
06:16The Lie Detector
06:22Simka!
06:24Quiet! I'm on a stakeout here!
06:27Who are you staking out?
06:29Tom Thomas!
06:30We've got a bet that he won't be able to survive three days without any TV.
06:34Really? Can I be on the stakeout with you?
06:41Simka!
06:51Ah-ha! I got you!
06:53What?
06:55Who?
06:56You lost the bet, Tom Thomas. Just tell me you didn't.
06:59I didn't.
07:00Why didn't you?
07:01It's because I…
07:04I'm not Tom Thomas!
07:06What?
07:07I'm Tom's brother!
07:09That's totally not true!
07:11We know Tom Thomas doesn't have a brother.
07:13I meant his first cousin.
07:15Then how come you two look so much alike?
07:17It's cause our mothers are twins.
07:20So what should we call you?
07:21Who, me?
07:23John Johnson.
07:25And who are you, by the way?
07:26As if you don't know who we are!
07:30This room is beautiful.
07:32Sure is bigger than mine.
07:35I don't believe you!
07:36You're telling a lie!
07:37And what is your proof?
07:38Maybe he's not lying.
07:40There's a way to check it.
07:42How?
07:43Yeah, how!
07:44With a lie detector. You'll see!
07:47A lie detector is a device that is used to help figure out
07:51if someone is telling the truth or if they are lying.
07:55You see, when someone is lying, they always get a little bit nervous.
08:00Even though we might not see it,
08:02we know that a liar's heart beats a little faster,
08:06his breathing changes, and he sweats.
08:09A lie detector can pick up on all of these little things.
08:13And that's how a lie detector can be used to help find the truth.
08:18But you don't have a lie detector!
08:20But we know how a lie detector works, don't we?
08:23Or are you scared, Tom Thomas?
08:30What's that for?
08:32To listen to your pulse.
08:34How come?
08:35So I'll be able to check how fast your heart is beating.
08:39And check how fast your heart is beating.
08:43And Nolik?
08:46He's gonna keep an eye on how often you blink.
08:49And what are you doing with the egg?
08:51The egg is an old African method.
08:54If you're not telling the truth, your hand will automatically squeeze the egg.
08:58And so, the egg will crack!
09:00Well, my egg won't crack.
09:03We'll see about that.
09:06Humans have tried to come up with all sorts of ways to find out the truth.
09:11For instance, in ancient China,
09:14they would put some dry rice in a person's mouth
09:17when they told him the crime they believed he committed.
09:20Then they'd check the rice.
09:22If the rice stayed dry, they believed he had committed the crime.
09:27In ancient India, a person had to bang on a gong while answering a judge's questions.
09:33If he started banging the gong louder,
09:35then it was believed that he was trying to hide the truth.
09:39And in Europe, if one knight accused another of lying,
09:43then they would just take part in a duel.
09:46Whoever won that one was said to be on the side of truth.
09:50No, it's not easy to hide the truth.
09:52But sometimes it can be even harder to find it.
09:58Answer yes or no. You got that?
10:01Do you have two ears?
10:03Don't you have eyes?
10:04Just yes or no?
10:05Yes.
10:08Answer! Are you a girl?
10:10Hey, come on!
10:11Yes or no?
10:13No.
10:14Where do you find such dumb questions?
10:17We just have to check what happens to your heart when you tell the truth to us.
10:22Alright, now answer this.
10:24Do you know the Fixies? Yes or no?
10:26Yes.
10:27No! I forgot.
10:29His pulse is speeding up.
10:31Are you Tom Thomas?
10:33No.
10:34Ah, his pulse is racing!
10:36And his eyes have started blinking!
10:38And the Fixies, tell us where you learned about them.
10:41From Tom Thomas.
10:42He couldn't have told you about us.
10:44It's a secret!
10:45He could!
10:46Not true!
10:47It's true!
10:48It's not true!
10:49Yes, it is!
10:52Hey, look! The egg cracked!
10:54Just give up, John Johnson!
10:57Alright! I'm Tom Thomas, guys!
10:59Tideesh!
11:00Is it really possible to know if you lied just by measuring your pulse?
11:05With pulse you really can, but you probably couldn't with the egg.
11:08You tricked me then! That wasn't nice!
11:10You weren't tricked! John Johnson was!
11:13You know what? I think you've got to get checked out on this lie detector.
11:17I don't think so. You need to get ready to give me my wish.
11:22Because you're the one that lost the bet!
11:27But if you meet a Fixie, please, don't let their secret out!
