Money

Fire, Verda, Digit, and Toola are fixing a printer in Professor Eugenius’ laboratory. They have to constantly ask each other for help. Gradually each one of them gets a feeling that the others use his or her help much more than he or she gets help from them. They see Professor’s assistant, Elisa, collecting money for her work. This gives them an idea to print their own money, even though Fixies never had it before. With the help of a hole-puncher and a stamp they make paper coins and start paying each other for help. To be fair, they put some of the money aside for Simka and Nolik. But things soon get out of hand as the Fixies start changing prices, asking for more than usual for their services, and some of them end up without any money left at all. The whole idea of money has led to nothing but squabbles and hard feelings. Then Simka and Nolik shower their friends with a heap of confetti designed to look just like their money. The money is now worthless and friendly support and help are highly valued once again. The Fixies finish repairing the printer and print out a word that unites them – “Friendship”.
