00:00:00The Traffic Light
00:00:03Red, yellow, green!
00:00:07Alright, let's go!
00:00:13Tom Thomas, why did we stop?
00:00:15There's a crosswalk.
00:00:16When there are lines like that, you have to let pedestrians cross.
00:00:20Go on!
00:00:23Thanks!
00:00:25Have a good trip!
00:00:30Let's go!
00:00:34Why do we stop now?
00:00:35There's no crosswalk.
00:00:36But that's a crossing gate, Fire!
00:00:38You have to let the train pass.
00:00:45Wow! That is cool!
00:00:47Hi there, Nolik!
00:00:48Come on down!
00:00:50Check out this traffic light, it's new!
00:00:52Is that a real traffic light?
00:00:55Wonderful, isn't it?
00:00:56Yeah! It looks awesome!
00:00:58Nolik, where are you going? Stop!
00:01:03Stop the car!
00:01:13Did you lose your mind?
00:01:14What were you doing, huh?
00:01:16Iโ€ฆ
00:01:17I wanted to see what a cool traffic light it is!
00:01:25What?
00:01:26And my dad just got this for me today!
00:01:29Now look at it!
00:01:30You were supposed to let me cross!
00:01:33You ran into the street when the light was red!
00:01:38A traffic light is a street lamp that sends multicolored signals to vehicles and pedestrians so they don't get in each other's way when they're on the road.
00:01:48When the light is red, it means stop!
00:01:50You must stay where you are!
00:01:51A yellow light tells drivers,
00:01:53Caution! Prepare to stop!
00:01:56You are only allowed to start crossing the street after the traffic light changes to the color green.
00:02:02And even then, it's important to remember, look both ways before crossing.
00:02:07You can only cross on green, Nolik. Even really little kids know that.
00:02:15But the light was green!
00:02:16No, it was red!
00:02:18No, green!
00:02:19It was red!
00:02:21It was green, I swear!
00:02:23Maybe you're color blind or something.
00:02:24Yeah, possibly.
00:02:27What does it mean if you're color blind?
00:02:28It means you can't tell colors apart.
00:02:31So you don't know which one's red and which one's green.
00:02:33Uh-huh, that's who I am!
00:02:35Right!
00:02:36You never mixed up colors before this!
00:02:38Okay!
00:02:40What color is that nightstand over there?
00:02:43Uh, it's red!
00:02:45And the plane up there?
00:02:47Oh, that's green!
00:02:48How about me? What color am I?
00:02:52Green as bluish brown as gray!
00:02:54With folk dots!
00:02:55I'm what?!
00:02:57It's true! He's color blind!
00:03:00Poor kid!
00:03:01Told you!
00:03:02Wasn't my fault!
00:03:03All right, we'll sort it out at home.
00:03:06And what are we gonna do with the traffic light?
00:03:08We can fix it!
00:03:09And we'll fix your car, too!
00:03:10All right, what color's the car?
00:03:12Purple?
00:03:13If you say so.
00:03:15We got work to do, so take a seat before you mix something else up.
00:03:23The road can be a dangerous place.
00:03:25There are so many cars and pedestrians on it,
00:03:28and all of them are in a rush to get where they're going.
00:03:31But be careful!
00:03:32Even if a driver notices a pedestrian on the road and breaks,
00:03:36it can still take quite some distance before the car comes to a complete stop.
00:03:41To avoid disaster, have respect for one another.
00:03:45If you need to cross the street, go to the nearest traffic light, crosswalk,
00:03:49or sign with a pedestrian on it.
00:03:51While you're still on the sidewalk, look to your left and then to your right,
00:03:55and see how far away any cars, motorcycles, or bicycles are.
00:03:59If they're close, then just stay where you are.
00:04:02If the driver is responsible and polite,
00:04:05he will stop for you if he sees you from a distance.
00:04:08If you want to make yourself more visible when it's dark,
00:04:11attach safety reflectors to your clothes,
00:04:14and then it will be safe for everyone on the road.
00:04:22All fixed!
00:04:23Tom Thomas, test it out!
00:04:25Turning the lights on!
00:04:31So, is it right?
00:04:33Yeah.
00:04:34Take your places!
00:04:44All right, let's cross.
00:04:47Ready, set, go!
00:04:52Stop!
00:04:54You got everything mixed up!
00:04:55The light is green in all directions!
00:05:00The game is up!
00:05:02You are a color blind, Nolik!
00:05:04You know what you are?
00:05:05You're a fainer!
00:05:06Me?
00:05:07Mm-hmm.
00:05:10Mm-hmm.
00:05:11Well, yeah!
00:05:12I got a little of it right in here!
00:05:14And once in a while, it goes up here!
00:05:16Uh, what's a fainer anyway?
00:05:21The bird feeder!
00:05:31Did you hear that?
00:05:32What?
00:05:34Oh, again!
00:05:35Outside the window!
00:05:37There!
00:05:42Huh, a little bird!
00:05:44He's beautiful!
00:05:46Uh-huh!
00:05:47Only he looks sad.
00:05:48Just wait till he sees what I'm gonna do!
00:05:50I guess he doesn't think you're funny!
00:05:58That's because he's cold out there!
00:06:03He wants to eat!
00:06:04That's all?
00:06:06Maybe we should make a feeder for the poor bird!
00:06:09Do you know how to make a bird feeder?
00:06:11No, but we both know someone who knows everything!
00:06:19In the winter, it's not easy for birds to find food under the snow.
00:06:23Luckily, many people come to the rescue!
00:06:25They build little houses for the birds, designed to hold food!
00:06:29The name for these houses are naturally bird feeders!
00:06:32Bird feeders can be made out of wood, plastic, or even something as simple as a milk or juice carton!
00:06:38Building a bird feeder by hand isn't hard to do at all!
00:06:42But building it is only one part of the work!
00:06:44What's most important is remembering to keep it filled with food!
00:06:50Well, shall we start?
00:06:52The bird feeder is ready!
00:07:16And what are we gonna put in it?
00:07:18I got an idea!
00:07:22Adisa, I need some of your food for a little bird!
00:07:42You aren't greedy!
00:07:43Greedy, greedy, greedy, greedy!
00:07:45I didn't know Adisa's greedy!
00:07:47Adisa's greedy!
00:07:49You need to learn how to share!
00:07:50What, like there's not enough food?
00:07:53Not enough food! Not enough food!
00:07:56Not enough food! Not enough!
00:07:58Wow! Now there's two of them out there!
00:08:01Eat! There's enough food for everybody!
00:08:05Poor Adisa! Poor Adisa!
00:08:10Let's bring them in here!
00:08:12We can open a restaurant for birds!
00:08:13Adisa's a poor little bird!
00:08:15Why did you scare the little birds away?
00:08:20That feeder's for them! Get it?
00:08:22Just fly away! Shoot!
00:08:29He's bullying our friends!
00:08:32Hey, you leave! Leave!
00:08:34You'll never chase him away now!
00:08:36We'll see about that!
00:08:40Aha!
00:08:41Serves you right, pigeon!
00:08:45It's not nice to bully little guys!
00:08:47Yeah, and how about big guys?
00:08:49It's alright to bully them!
00:08:51The poor pigeon also wants some food!
00:08:53Food! Food!
00:08:54You sure?
00:08:56Sure!
00:09:01Winter can be beautiful, but also very cold.
00:09:04Animals have different ways to prepare for when the weather gets cold.
00:09:08Some birds gather into flocks and migrate to where it's warmer.
00:09:12You could almost say they're flying to a resort!
00:09:15Squirrels, hamsters, and chipmunks collect and store nuts, mushrooms, and pine cones.
00:09:20There are many people who don't have pantries that are as well stocked.
00:09:23Badgers and bears eat a lot of extra food in the fall,
00:09:27and then go to sleep in their dens and burrows for the whole winter.
00:09:31Fish also sleep in the winter, only they're at the bottom of rivers and lakes.
00:09:36Frogs, snakes, and even wasps burrow in the ground,
00:09:40while hares, foxes, and wolves grow thick coats that protect them from the freezing cold.
00:09:45Although it isn't easy for them to find food.
00:09:55So that will be your feeder, and that new one will be for the little birds.
00:09:59Hey, are you taking their food again?
00:10:02There you go.
00:10:04But those little birds, they'll probably never come back here.
00:10:08Look, Nolik!
00:10:09They came back!
00:10:11They came back!
00:10:27Aw, they're full and happy!
00:10:29It's so nice!
00:10:30Tideesh!
00:10:32Tideesh!
00:10:33Money!
00:10:44Tideesh!
00:10:46Hello?
00:10:47Uh-huh?
00:10:51Fire!
00:10:52Can you help me, please?!
00:10:54Sorry, Verida.
00:10:55I need to go to, uh, the warehouse, right away.
00:10:57I helped you yesterday, didn't I?
00:10:59Well, I helped you the day before that.
00:11:01Yeah, well, what about last week?
00:11:03I helped you three times, remember?
00:11:05Well, I...
00:11:05You helped one another when it was time to.
00:11:08I don't see why you have to count.
00:11:09Of course not, Tula.
00:11:10You ask for the most help from all of us.
00:11:13I do not, Verda.
00:11:18Look how Elisa helps Professor Eugenius.
00:11:20And she doesn't argue with him.
00:11:22Of course not.
00:11:23She's in love with the professor.
00:11:25Actually, it's her job.
00:11:27And for helping the professor, she gets money.
00:11:30Hmm, money.
00:11:32That's a smart idea.
00:11:37Money constantly moves from one hand to another.
00:11:41A person does his job at work,
00:11:42and in exchange, he gets money for it.
00:11:45He can use the money to buy things he wants,
00:11:47like clothing or food.
00:11:48Or he can pay somebody else for their work,
00:11:51like getting a ride from a taxi driver,
00:11:53a haircut from a hairdresser,
00:11:55or a computer repaired by a technician.
00:11:58All people take part in this circulation of money.
00:12:01But unlike people,
00:12:02Fixies don't use any money.
00:12:04We do just fine without it.
00:12:06From now on, we'll do it like people do it.
00:12:19If you work for somebody,
00:12:20they give you money for it.
00:12:22And if you need some help,
00:12:23then you pay.
00:12:24And that'll stop the arguing.
00:12:25And all the false accusations.
00:12:28And those are for Simca and Dolan.
00:12:30Now it's all fair.
00:12:31What is this?
00:12:53Money.
00:12:54What are we supposed to do with it?
00:12:55You don't know?
00:12:56You pay for someone to help you.
00:12:58I don't like this new idea at all.
00:13:01At all.
00:13:02What is this?
00:13:11What is this?
00:13:16I don't know if there's any develop.
00:13:25You don't know how manyia-flop.
00:13:26What?
00:13:26Well, bye.
00:13:27Bye I want you.
00:13:27Bye.
00:13:28Bye bye.
00:13:28Bye bye.
00:13:29Bye bye.
00:13:29Bye bye-bye.
00:13:29Bye bye-bye.
00:13:30Bye bye.
00:13:30Bye bye.
00:13:32Maybe we should give them our money so they'll stop arguing.
00:13:51I've got a cooler idea.
00:13:56Hey, who needs money around here?
00:13:59Because we've got it!
00:14:02We've got it enough for everybody!
00:14:06Where are you?
00:14:08We're in here!
00:14:14This is all your fault, Fire!
00:14:16And your fault!
00:14:17No, it's the money! That's whose fault it is!
00:14:25He's right! That's why we were fighting!
00:14:28And we didn't even fix the printer!
00:14:30Money is nothing more than just paper!
00:14:33No, it's the money!
00:14:35No, it's the money!
00:14:36Although money is printed in strict secrecy, we still know something about the process.
00:14:43The paper used for money is made out of cotton and linen.
00:14:46It's stronger than normal paper made out of wood, which means it doesn't rip as easily, even if you fold it thousands of times.
00:14:54The ink used for printing money is special too.
00:14:57It won't rub off the paper or fade in the sun.
00:15:00And that's not all.
00:15:01The ink has secret additives that can only be seen if you look at the money under a special light.
00:15:08This helps protect people from fake money.
00:15:11It is for the same reason that watermarks, metal strings, and teeny tiny writing is also used on money.
00:15:18This writing is very hard to read, unless you happen to be a fixie.
00:15:21I hope I didn't say more than I should have.
00:15:24Well, all done.
00:15:27It's time for a test.
00:15:29But what are we going to print?
00:15:30What are we going to print?
00:15:31A word with real value.
00:15:33Yeah, something really precious.
00:15:35No, it's not money.
00:15:37Right.
00:15:38It's so much better.
00:15:45Friendship!
00:15:46Teeesh!
00:15:47The submarine.
00:15:52And the submarine disappeared into the ocean deep, leaving the vicious sharks high and dry.
00:15:59That cartoon was super!
00:16:01Class!
00:16:02Splendid!
00:16:03I wish we had a submarine, too.
00:16:06What do you say we make one?
00:16:08But we don't know anything about building a submarine.
00:16:11What makes you say that?
00:16:13The most important thing for a submarine is to be airtight, so that it's impossible for water to leak in from outside.
00:16:22And inside, there needs to be a reserve of air for breathing.
00:16:26For a submarine to go underwater, it uses special containers.
00:16:31When the containers are filled with water, the submarine becomes heavy and starts submerging.
00:16:37When it's time to take the submarine back up to the surface, the water in the containers is switched back for air and the light submarine climbs.
00:16:45And what are we going to make it out of?
00:16:49Out of, uh, broken toys.
00:16:51And where are we going to sail her?
00:16:53In the aquarium.
00:16:54Tola, aren't you going with us?
00:17:07I'm afraid to.
00:17:08How come?
00:17:09What if water fills up the submarine, and then we drown, or those huge fish gobble us up?
00:17:13Come on, Tola.
00:17:14That's silly.
00:17:15Nolik's little, and he's not scared of this.
00:17:16Yeah.
00:17:17I'm afraid to.
00:17:18I'm afraid to.
00:17:19I'm afraid to.
00:17:20How come?
00:17:21What if water fills up the submarine, and then we drown, or those huge fish gobble us up?
00:17:25Come on, Tola.
00:17:26That's silly.
00:17:27Nolik's little, and he's not scared of this.
00:17:28Yeah.
00:17:29Well, all right.
00:17:30Cast off the lines.
00:17:31The who?
00:17:32Unhook the rope, it means.
00:17:33Ah.
00:17:34You should have just said that.
00:17:35Are you ready?
00:17:36Time to take her down.
00:17:37Hooray!
00:17:38We're sailing!
00:17:39Oh.
00:17:40Oh.
00:17:41Oh.
00:17:42Oh.
00:17:43Oh.
00:17:44Oh.
00:17:45Oh.
00:17:46Oh.
00:17:47Oh.
00:17:48Oh.
00:17:49Oh.
00:17:50Oh.
00:17:51Oh.
00:17:52Oh.
00:17:53Oh.
00:17:54Oh.
00:17:55Mm.
00:17:56Oh.
00:17:57Very cool.
00:17:59What!
00:18:00Oh.
00:18:01It's just beautiful in here.
00:18:02There they are.
00:18:03The fish is short.
00:18:04Time to scare them.
00:18:06Turning right.
00:18:07Going for that one.
00:18:08You can't escape from eyes.
00:18:09Oh.
00:18:11Please stop it.
00:18:12Stop torturing the fish!
00:18:13It's terrible!
00:18:14Bye!
00:18:15What?
00:18:17Oh, no.
00:18:18I don't know.
00:18:19There's algae wrapped around the propeller.
00:18:21I won't ๋ณด๋ฉด pierwsze ul.
00:18:23Just be calm.
00:18:24There's no need to panic. Let's try taking her out.
00:18:28It's not working.
00:18:30Of course. No wonder I was scared.
00:18:33And so what do we do now?
00:18:34How about we open the hatch door?
00:18:36No, we can't. The water would pour into here, and then we would all drown.
00:18:41Well, in that case, I don't know. I need to come up with a plan.
00:18:44Yeah.
00:18:48The world's first practical submarine was built almost 400 years ago.
00:18:53In England, it was made out of wood and couldn't dive very deep at all.
00:18:58Inside the vessel, rowers sat with oars, so it couldn't move very quickly either.
00:19:04About 200 years later, the oars were replaced with a propeller.
00:19:08But the propeller on that submarine could only be turned by hand, making it a slow submarine as well.
00:19:15Any good swimmer could easily outrace it.
00:19:18It was only with the appearance of electric motors that submarines started submerging to great depths
00:19:25and moving through the water at very high speeds.
00:19:29Today's modern military submarines use nuclear reactors for power.
00:19:33These submarines can stay underwater for months without resurfacing.
00:19:37Fire, can you come up with your plan quicker?
00:19:50Because we're running out of air.
00:19:53Fire, we're going to suffocate.
00:19:54No, we won't, mate.
00:20:00Chances are better the fish will eat us.
00:20:02You never should have teased them.
00:20:05Yeah, we're in trouble.
00:20:10Didn't I warn you, didn't I?
00:20:12And you wouldn't listen.
00:20:13You did everything just the opposite.
00:20:16Wait, it might work.
00:20:18Let's rewire the battery the opposite way.
00:20:21We should switch the plus and minus.
00:20:23How come?
00:20:23Because then the motor will start to turn the other way, forcing the algae to unwind.
00:20:39Heesh!
00:20:42Hey, quit it!
00:20:43We won't bother you anymore, alright?
00:20:46Peace!
00:20:46Thank you so much, Tula.
00:20:50You really saved us.
00:20:51It's just because I was the one that was most frightened.
00:20:53No, it's because when things got really scary, you kept your cool about you.
00:20:58Wouldn't it be splendid if next time we built a helicopter?
00:21:05The dishwasher.
00:21:10Can't catch me.
00:21:12You won't catch me.
00:21:12Enjoying yourself without a care in the world.
00:21:18What?
00:21:19We have more cares than both of you together.
00:21:21Yeah, anyone can see that.
00:21:23Wanna bet me?
00:21:25How about we try doing your job and you try doing ours?
00:21:28And whoever loses has got to grant the other's wish.
00:21:31We have a dishwasher here in the kitchen that isn't working and you're distracting us with your nonsense.
00:21:36Wait a sec.
00:21:37Let's do it.
00:21:37Find the broken part.
00:21:39Good as done.
00:21:40But where?
00:21:41You're the adults now.
00:21:43Go and find it.
00:21:45Just look out for yourselves.
00:21:46And you kids, time for school.
00:21:48And I better not hear that you were misbehaving.
00:21:51Was I there when they taught us about dishwashers at school?
00:21:53The main element of a dishwashing machine is this part called the sprayer, which looks like a propeller.
00:22:02After the dishwasher's pump delivers water, it is warmed, mixed with detergent, and then pushed up with high pressure.
00:22:10That makes the propeller spin very quickly, so it can shoot out the water with a force strong enough to wash all of the dirt off the plates and glasses.
00:22:18But it does it carefully, so that dishes not only come out sparkling, but unbroken as well.
00:22:24Is this a parent-teacher conference?
00:22:30It's not.
00:22:31It's an experiment.
00:22:33For today, I'm Simka.
00:22:36And I'm Nolik.
00:22:37All right, who's ready to tell the rest of the class what we studied yesterday?
00:22:44Simka.
00:22:46Yesterday?
00:22:47Oh.
00:22:48You forgot.
00:22:49Be seated.
00:22:50That's an F.
00:22:51Mm-hmm.
00:22:52I think the problem is in the control panel.
00:22:55I wonder if the dishwasher ran out of water.
00:23:00Papus, don't argue with your wife.
00:23:02This one is working, and so is this.
00:23:27You know what?
00:23:29Why don't we just wash those dishes?
00:23:30But that would be cheating.
00:23:33No one will find out.
00:23:34The dishes will all be nice and clean, and bam, we're the winners.
00:23:49Check it out.
00:23:49We are all done.
00:23:51How come the indicators aren't lit?
00:23:54Fixies have to fix things.
00:23:56And what do you call this?
00:23:58And you, did you both go to school today?
00:24:00Of course we did.
00:24:01I, I mean Simka, got an F for her answer.
00:24:05Well, thanks, Masiya.
00:24:07And did you play with Tom Thomas?
00:24:09You know that we don't show ourselves to people.
00:24:12Tom Thomas isn't any human.
00:24:13He's our friend.
00:24:15Either you play with him, or you both lose, just like we did.
00:24:18No way.
00:24:19We'll play another round.
00:24:21The earliest kitchenware appeared about 7,000 years ago.
00:24:28Early people made these containers from stone or wood.
00:24:33Another kind of container for holding food was woven baskets.
00:24:36The baskets would be lined with clay for durability.
00:24:40Once, one of these baskets fell into a bonfire.
00:24:43And lo and behold, the wood on the outside burned away, while the clay was now hard as
00:24:49a rock.
00:24:49That discovery led to the invention of clay pottery that is still in use to this very
00:24:55day.
00:24:56Later on came the development of glass, metal, and cast iron cookware.
00:25:00The world's richest people can even have food served to them on dishes of silver or gold.
00:25:06Today, kitchenware is not only a practical convenience, but it can decorate any home as well.
00:25:15Forget it.
00:25:16This is impossible.
00:25:18Let's just tell them we give up.
00:25:24Zinka, how come this button is crooked and not sticking out?
00:25:27Because the button got jammed.
00:25:29Yeah!
00:25:30No way!
00:25:31You figured out what was wrong!
00:25:36I'm glad I kept dragging this around.
00:25:41Diddy!
00:25:43One...
00:25:44Papus, we fixed everything!
00:25:48Really?
00:25:49Does this mean you're playing with him?
00:25:51What?
00:25:51You think we're some quitters?
00:25:52Ha!
00:25:53Fine!
00:25:53Then which one of us is the winner?
00:25:55Ready or not, here I come!
00:25:57Let's call it a draw.
00:25:58Each team gets one wish.
00:26:01Our team wants you to fix my act.
00:26:04And you finish this game with him.
00:26:07Peas of cake!
00:26:16Vitamins.
00:26:17Seven times five is thirty-five.
00:26:19Seven times six...
00:26:21Wait a sec.
00:26:23It's...
00:26:23It's...
00:26:24Tom Thomas!
00:26:26Are you ready?
00:26:27For what?
00:26:28For a walk!
00:26:29Did you forget?
00:26:30Oh...
00:26:30Yeah...
00:26:31I'm having such problems with my memory.
00:26:34I keep trying to memorize this table, but I can't.
00:26:37If you want to improve your memory, you need vitamins.
00:26:41Vitamins?
00:26:42Well, how's it going, Tom Thomas?
00:26:44Not well.
00:26:45My memory's just terrible.
00:26:47Studying's getting me nowhere.
00:26:49Hey, don't be discouraged.
00:26:51We'll make your memory better with some vitamins.
00:26:54Oh, now you about vitamins.
00:26:56Uh, and who else?
00:26:59Just a school friend.
00:27:01Well, all right.
00:27:06Vitamins are very important for people's health, even though you don't need much of them.
00:27:11For instance, vitamin A is necessary for good eyesight and normal growth.
00:27:16Vitamin C helps keep you from getting sick.
00:27:19Vitamin D makes your teeth and bones stronger.
00:27:22Usually, people get the vitamins they require from a diet of fruits, dairy, vegetables, and other healthy foods.
00:27:28But if someone still isn't getting the vitamins their body needs,
00:27:32then doctors recommend taking special vitamin pills.
00:27:35All right, take out some vegetables and some fruit and some berries.
00:27:42They have a lot of vitamins, too.
00:27:50Forget about it.
00:27:51We're strengthening your memory with vitamins.
00:27:53And you'll study the multiplication table at the same time.
00:27:58All right, then.
00:28:00There are three cherries in each pile.
00:28:02Tom Thomas eats five piles.
00:28:04Go on, eat, eat.
00:28:05So, here's the question.
00:28:07How many cherries did Tom Thomas eat all together?
00:28:11I don't know.
00:28:12What'd you say?
00:28:13I said I don't know.
00:28:15Try counting those pits, then.
00:28:19Huh, 15.
00:28:22That's right.
00:28:23And that means that three times five equals 15.
00:28:27Now, try my problem.
00:28:29Tom Thomas ate three pairs of apples.
00:28:32That's easy.
00:28:33The answer's six.
00:28:34I just couldn't find more apples for that one.
00:28:37Tom Thomas, quit slacking off.
00:28:39To get this problem right, you have to eat the apples.
00:28:42They have vitamins.
00:28:43The first one.
00:29:02Oh.
00:29:04Oh.
00:29:06Oh.
00:29:06Oh.
00:29:07Oh.
00:29:08Oh.
00:29:09that's all i can't eat anymore keep eating they have vitamins anyhow we don't have enough
00:29:30carrots for me to learn how to multiply by nine all right then i'll help you
00:29:33multiply two by three all you need to do is just add three twos together it's much harder to multiply
00:29:43a number by nine that takes too much time to add that's why at schools they want you to memorize
00:29:49the table but there's a simple way to multiply by nine without the table or a calculator let's say
00:29:55you need to multiply the number three by nine put your hands face up in front of you now find the
00:30:01third finger from the left and bend it down so what do we see there are two fingers to the left of the
00:30:07bent finger and seven fingers to the right two and seven means that the answer is 27 you got it great
00:30:15let's do another problem what is seven times nine here are six fingers and here are three that's right
00:30:23the answer is 63. tom thomas did you eat all of that but you're the one that told me you need to eat
00:30:35vitamins that's why i got these vitamins for you that little what do you mean little there's enough in
00:30:42this bottle for a month go ahead try one they're very good for you they taste good too right better than
00:30:54an onion or a radish time another one no that's enough you shouldn't take more than one vitamin
00:31:01every day i remember where i saw this i saw the same kind of bottle with a green lid over at katya's
00:31:07speaking of memory let's check your multiplication table let's say that you and katya are each taking
00:31:13one vitamin a day so how many have you eaten after nine days
00:31:20the answer's 18. well done it's getting better vitamins really work
00:31:26the window
00:31:35oh hi there we're all up what are you doing i'm washing our windows
00:31:44uh it looks like that thing's doing the washing you guessed it it's a window washing robot i borrowed
00:31:52it from a neighbor to try it out we should buy one for ourselves i don't get it we've already got
00:31:58one robot uh i mean uh robot so we'll have two one for the floors and one for windows i can clean
00:32:06the windows but it can be dangerous work what's so dangerous about it i'll just go and wash them
00:32:13right now and instead of a robot we'll buy something uh useful like a skateboard for a boy
00:32:21i've already got one so you'll have two class uh-huh if you say so there just so happens to be a dirty
00:32:28window in your office let's see how you do with that one consider it done
00:32:35mm-hmm and we'll clean the tiles with the robot
00:32:42a window is much more than just a hole in the wall windows provide houses with light ventilation and views
00:32:49to the world outside modern windows are made with several layers of glass between each layer is a
00:32:55space that's filled with air the air works as insulation to keep heat from escaping outside do
00:33:01you know how to tell how many layers of glass your window has just shine a flashlight at it the number
00:33:07of reflections tells you the number of layers
00:33:16whoa what an amazing appliance let's go and take a closer look
00:33:24you really buy me a new skateboard dad that's what i said but first i've got a window to wipe
00:33:29all right robot we'll show you tom thomas dad can show him himself
00:33:34we really live on a super high floor yeah but the robot isn't afraid of heights
00:33:43i'll start from this corner it'll take you forever that way admit it the robot works better
00:33:50we won't we're gonna win this thing hey what is he doing i'm not sure
00:34:07mom mom the robot made such a mess in there it's impossible
00:34:12mom mom the robot made such a mess in there it's impossible look good joke just wait
00:34:32i don't get how you're cleaning it easy you can talk you gotta be kidding and you are misbehaving you
00:34:52guys you're the ones trying to stop me you tried to make the robot look bad so we had to defend it
00:34:59it's only because my dad told me i get a skateboard yeah for doing a bad thing
00:35:04aren't you ashamed of yourself i am you learned your lesson and don't forget fixies look out for
00:35:11appliances
00:35:14the dwellings of most ancient people had basically no windows at all there may have been a hole up above
00:35:21for letting out smoke from a fire but that was it later people started splitting open their walls but the
00:35:27openings were so small that very little light would ever get inside the size of windows grew quite
00:35:34a bit over time people would cover them with animal skins fabric paper or wooden planks to protect
00:35:41themselves from the cold and the wind when people learned how to mine valuable minerals they began to
00:35:47cover window openings with thin sheets of a mineral called mica windows made of glass were very expensive
00:35:54and only the richest people could afford them for their homes but today it's hard to imagine a window
00:36:00anywhere not covered in glass
00:36:06everything's washed and what about the outside
00:36:11forget it i i quit would you wash the back with the robot yeah consider it done
00:36:24yeah you're right i see it really is a great appliance
00:36:30and that washer's defender is even better you're right about that
00:36:36tish
00:36:40chocolate
00:36:44tom thomas unwrap it already
00:36:47in the morning nolik i really want to see the toy that's inside be patient nolik that's all i'm going
00:36:55to bed please don't touch it okay and you won't open it without me right that's a deal oh good night nolik
00:37:03and what are you doing in here me well i was oh it's a chocolate ball with a toy inside
00:37:19how interesting yeah totally let's unwrap it and take a look we can't not until tom tom this comes in
00:37:27in the morning but if we're real careful he won't notice a chocolate confection
00:37:41perfection
00:37:55well yeah we sure took a look tom thomas won't be happy at all when he finds out you touched the
00:38:02chocolate ball and you like you didn't touch it i didn't oh then what's that nolik
00:38:09chocolate absolutely it's a hundred percent natural milk chocolate it says so right here
00:38:17the key ingredient in chocolate is cocoa beans they are roasted crushed and ground after that the
00:38:24ground beans are pressed to extract the oil from them if you mix butter cocoa and sugar you'll get dark
00:38:30chocolate and if you add some milk to it then you'll get milk chocolate then you just warm it up
00:38:36pour it into molds and cool it down you can add raisins or nuts into chocolate sometimes chocolate is
00:38:43even made with flavors like flowers or salt chocolate wasn't originally for eating it was used in a drink
00:38:50made by mixing roasted beans with water and then adding hot peppers not every adult could drink it let alone a
00:38:57child today chocolate is a favorite treat the world over for children and adults alike
00:39:07how can we put it back together how about scotch tape come on we'll start by warming up the chocolate so
00:39:15so it softens up and then use that to make a new ball and then to make it hard again yeah we just cool it off
00:39:30my chocolate confection has got an imperfection half of it's gone into thin air
00:39:40but this is expected when chocolate goes unprotected first you have got it
00:39:47that it's not there not there not there not there
00:39:58done let's put in the toy but we haven't even looked at it yet
00:40:02oh it's so pretty tom thomas is gonna love it
00:40:10oh wait oh what do you think of this idea

00:41:44morning and you promise not to open the toy without me right
00:41:55the toothpaste astronaut food ready rocket ready and who's flying to the sun me i'm ready
00:42:08tom thomas did you see there it is you nearly spoiled a vital experiment of global interplanetary
00:42:20significance spoiled what our scientific testing of the latest toothpaste formula i will brush my teeth
00:42:26with it and i as chief dentist will be monitoring the testing and so i don't want you even touching it
00:42:33great how am i supposed to fly to the sun now strange they make that toothpaste for kids so then why is
00:42:44your mom using your dad then that's right i'm gonna go tell her mom that new toothpaste i should test it
00:42:52no i'm using your dad because he's a responsible person and so am i i i'm very responsible who knew
00:43:03your room's a total mess i had no time to clean it you didn't water the plant i forgot did you brush
00:43:10your teeth yeah for a whole minute too you're supposed to brush your teeth for two minutes in the morning
00:43:17and at night sorry great toothpaste honey
00:43:24if you don't want to get a toothache you need to take good care of your teeth by brushing them with a
00:43:35toothbrush and toothpaste toothpaste helps remove food that's stuck on your teeth kills harmful bacteria
00:43:41and keeps your teeth strong healthy and beautiful toothpaste should be in every house adults should use
00:43:50toothpaste made for adults and kids should use toothpaste that is healthy and safe for younger
00:43:55teeth it's important to make sure you're using a toothpaste that's right for your age
00:44:07tom tom is don't touch it it's for the experiment i'm just gonna smell it don't worry
00:44:13well it smells like bubble gum hey just a peek at the color that's all
00:44:20come on do you want to spoil the experiment now put that toothpaste right back
00:44:36again
00:44:50well now so we caught you again i want to try this toothpaste so bad but how
00:45:06well what if you want do you know how to brush your teeth correctly let's check first take your
00:45:18toothbrush and rinse it with water then squeeze on a bit of toothpaste a small pea-sized drop is all
00:45:23that you'll need now one brush the outside of your front teeth up and down two brush the backs of those
00:45:30teeth from the gums on down three open your mouth real wide and brush the teeth in the back these are the
00:45:37teeth that you use for chewing go back and forth over and over you should brush a full two minutes no less
00:45:44now it's time to rinse out the toothpaste from your mouth and clean the brush that's right the brush needs to
00:45:50be clean too and please don't be lazy if you brush your teeth two times a day they'll stay in great shape for
00:45:58many years to come
00:46:06mom dad see i've done everything
00:46:09well done and i promise that i'm gonna brush my teeth the right way as long as i need to and
00:46:21and twice a day
00:46:23only let me be a part of your awesome experiment please would you well i don't know i think we
00:46:29could try it oh what well we also have this foam for teeth who's gonna test that me a real hero
00:46:47how many ways did we try to get him to brush his teeth before that didn't work we never sparked his
00:46:52imagination before your idea about the experiment was brilliant simka do you think we should tell him
00:47:00the answer is no we can't disrupt the experiment fasteners and of course all of the appliances parts
00:47:11must be fastened good and tight
00:47:19what are you doing colleague today lisa is returning from her vacation and so i decided before she gets
00:47:26back i'll clean up the laboratory quite a noble initiative now where was i you were saying all parts
00:47:33have to be fastened you're right and what kinds of fasteners can you name fire uh a screw uh and what
00:47:43else uh another screw that would make a total of two screws all together simka
00:47:55to fasten wood or plastic parts together you can use nails nails are hammered in with a hammer
00:48:02in metal or stone you need to first drill holes for the screws to help a screw hold better it can be
00:48:08inserted into a special fastener called an anchor or wall plug the difference between a machine screw
00:48:14and a wood screw is that wood screws have pointy ends machine screws go into holes that already have
00:48:20a thread or into a nut
00:48:26and what if there aren't any screws or nails around well then a fixie can turn himself into a
00:48:31screw and screw and screw himself in like this masterfully done fire think you can do it of course
00:48:43nolick is it okay if i won't go what do you mean you won't go
00:48:50wait i started on the wrong foot uh no i guess it was the right one don't be scared
00:48:56you've done this a thousand times uh-huh you're right
00:49:04you had to make sure the appliance was turned off first
00:49:08yeah i should have this time it's not going to happen to you it's all under control go on
00:49:14i'm still scared to do it how about you try again and who came up with this dumb screw idea
00:49:29according to legend the screw was invented in ancient times by the great archimedes using his screw type
00:49:37mechanism archimedes built a special machine for getting water out of a canal in ancient rome
00:49:43people used wooden screws and presses to squeeze the olive oil out of olives screws were also used
00:49:50as parts of drills or as lifting jacks but the use of screws as fasteners did not begin until the 15th
00:49:57century soon thereafter screws became so popular that today it's almost impossible to find an appliance
00:50:05made without one and if one of these little screws should fall out we fixies will come to the rescue
00:50:11because we don't just turn into screws when we need to hide from humans
00:50:15we're always ready to do it when help is needed
00:50:21nolick let's try it together don't be scared we're here with you ready
00:50:27nolick watch me son i haven't screwed myself in in over a hundred years but i'm not scared

00:53:16professor eugenius didn't i see an iron in here earlier

00:53:27just perfect otherwise everybody is going to think that i don't take care of you
00:53:32first we'll let the iron warm up and then i can iron your suit
00:53:37the most essential part of an electric iron is called the heating coil it's hidden inside the iron
00:53:43soul plate when the iron is plugged into an electrical outlet the coil gets hot and heats up the soul
00:53:49people use a hot iron to remove the wrinkles from their clothing irons also have a water container
00:53:56when the water gets hot it turns into steam the steam comes out through the holes in the iron soul
00:54:02making it even easier to remove wrinkles
00:54:07wow that sure is hot all that's left to do is pour some water into it professor this is water right
00:54:13yeah yeah it's water that isn't water no no no no no wait wait wait it's not water it's not water then
00:54:20what is it well it's uh juice juice yeah juice oh no the poor iron won't last cute and it smells

00:55:43we did it your iron is fixed elisa you should see the iron it's working
00:55:49what and i'm just lying around here i have to hurry where's the iron and your suit
00:55:58wrinkled clothing is not very beautiful and that's why since ancient times people have been trying to
00:56:04find different ways to get rid of wrinkles for example long ago people would put their wrinkled
00:56:10clothing under a heavy flat rock in ancient rome people used to beat their crinkled garments with
00:56:16a metal hammer and in china fabric was ironed with hot frying pans irons with a shape like what is used
00:56:24today appeared during the middle ages they were made out of cast iron and needed to be heated up on a
00:56:30stove before they could be used later people came up with irons that were heated by putting hot coals
00:56:37inside and finally in the 19th century a convenient electrical iron was invented and has been used ever
00:56:45since and the prize for genius of the year goes to professor eugenius bravo bravo professor
00:57:04i thank you i give my sincerest thanks to you and may i take this opportunity to send my greetings to fix

00:57:57have any pets of your own what do you mean we've got a pet you know buggy buggy she was in the vent the last
00:58:06time i saw her
00:58:15buggy come on out we need to talk here this is our friend buggy
00:58:24wait this insect is really your pet huh what a joke buggy's a spider she's not an insect at all
00:58:32but isn't a spider a kind of insect
00:58:37insect is the term used for mosquitoes flies beetles dragonflies butterflies ants and many others
00:58:44spiders certainly look a lot like insects they have very similar legs but spiders aren't insects they're
00:58:50arachnids insects have six legs while spiders have eight of them many insects can fly but spiders can't
00:58:58but spiders can move spider webs they may look beautiful but really they are traps for hunting insects
00:59:07how come your buggy has five legs instead of eight of them i don't know she lost them somehow anyhow she can
00:59:14do lots of tricks hello buggy how do you do we know how to do that trick cheusaka shake just see that
00:59:24and i bet your buggy can't do this cheusaka sit buggy sit why aren't you sitting lie down
00:59:34your turn lie down watch me like this lie down she can't do that trick her fifth leg must be in the

01:01:07people like having pets to live with them in their homes dogs cats hamsters parrots fish turtles some
01:01:15folks even get crocodiles and the bigger the animal the more work it takes to take proper care of it
01:01:22but every pet needs love and care no matter what size it is fixies like to have pets too all sorts of
01:01:31little bugs spiders and flies fixies treat them as friends and take care of them of course a little
01:01:39spider isn't as smart as a dog but they also can be trained there are some fixies who have managed to
01:01:46domesticate such big insects as bees beetles and dragonflies fixies fly on their backs and use them to
01:01:54carry heavy loads
01:01:58that's it i'm stuck all alone in here forever
