The Umbrella

Professor Eugenius and the Fixies are fixing a pully in the laboratory. Toola comes in late carrying an umbrella for some unknown reason. She explains to her surprised friends that according to omens it is going to rain. For instance, Tom Thomas’ dad was going to wash his car and that is a sure sign of rain. Toola’s friends laugh at her superstitious beliefs, but she keeps finding new omens that support her idea about the upcoming rain. Finally, Grandpus can’t stand it any longer and lays out an indisputable argument: they are indoors where it just can’t rain. Irritated, Grandpus smashes a part with a sledgehammer a bit too hard, sending the part flying into the air and triggering the fire extinguisher system. Water starts sprinkling from the ceiling! It turns out that Toola’s omen came true. She is happy to dance with her umbrella and soon everyone else joins in the fun.
