The Traffic Light

Tom Thomas and the Fixies kids are playing on the carpet with his model car set. Today the set has a new addition – a working traffic light. Fire is behind the wheel of a radio-controlled car that Tom Thomas is operating, Simka is working the train-crossing signal, and Toola is playing the part of a pedestrian. Nolik rushes in to admire the new traffic light and crosses the street while the light is red. Fire, heading rights towards him in the car, manages to avoid hitting Nolik, but he crashes into the traffic light, sending him flying out of the car. Luckily Fire lands safely on Tom Thomas' bed. The traffic light is ruined. Everyone begins to shame Nolik for not paying attention to the traffic signal. Nolik tries to avoid getting blamed for the accident by claiming the traffic light was green. His friends wonder if Nolik is colorblind. Nolik happily accepts this excuse and when challenged by the others pretends he can’t identify the color of anything. Tom Thomas and the Fixies have a plan to uncover Nolik’s trick. They purposely fix the traffic light so it doesn’t work correctly and make Nolik believe that Fire is going to hit Toola as she crosses the street. Nolik screams that the traffic light is green in all directions! But how could he know that if he is colorblind? Nolik admits he was faking it.
