Once upon a time when Mom and Dad were children
and used to go sledging and jumping the rope
all fairy tails were full of kindness
And the Lanterns were magical
Believe in a magical land
And see you together, it's grand
It's snorkeling adventure today
Our Lantern will show us the way
Magic lantern
hey Mike turn off the video game, we're going to watch a slideshow
I can't, Kate, I gotta finish collecting points right now
Oh, Mike, why are you so angry?
Angry?
can't you see? I'm losing! I hate losing!
Ok, Mike, I've got an idea. Now we're going to watch a slideshow about someone who really hates losing
Ready? Switching on the magic lantern
"Racing around the world" , based on a book by Jules Verne
Fox and his friend Fix liked to race with each other very much
Nicky and I race with each other a lot, too
Fox normally was the one who won. And Fix always got very angry when he lost
You see, Kate, Fix gets angry when he loses, so I'm not the only one!
So you want to be like Fix then? Go ahead
One day Fix suggested racing around the world in cars to see who is faster
"OK", - agreed Fox -Cool! We would only make it on the playground!
Fix took the fastest car and took off as fast as
he could. Fox got on his bike and followed him
But cars are all much faster!
I say Fix wins!
But soon the gas in the car ran out. And Fox easily overtook Fix.
Wasn't there gas station there?
I say Fox wins then
The next day Fix got up earlier, took Fox's bike and rushed off
Fox, you will never catch me now! - cheered Fix as he rapidly pedaled away
He's so tricky!
-Now I see that Fix is gonna win! -And you think it's okay that Fix stole
someone else's bike like that? But soon the bike got stuck in the sand and Fix had to
carry it on its back
Bike is not very convenient for Africa, - remarks Fox going past on camel
Oh, now I say Fox is the winner!
The next morning Fix got on a camel and went ahead
Fox, let's you try and catch me! -No, I think Fix wins now!
But soon it got so cold
that the camel nearly turned into ice
"You'd better write on a sled in the North", - Fox advised Fix passing him on a dogsled
So, captain 'Consistent', who do you think it's gonna be now now?
Now I say Fox wins!
The next morning
Fix got onto the sled and continued on his way. "Now I will win!"
- cheered up Fix - "Fox will never catch me!"
Yeah, go, Fix!
The sled is not very good for the jungle. It's much working means to
travel on an elephant here", said Fox to Fix and easily passed Fix
Like I said, go, Fox!
Suddenly a cry was heard in the distance:
"Help!" "Someone needs our help", - said Fox
"I have no time to waste!", - crumbled Fix and ran off
So, Mike, who do you think it is now? Fix again?
No, I got confused
Fox ran toward the cry and soon saw fierce tigers preparing to attack a girl!
"Go away!" - cried Fox and drove away the Tigers. -Oh, Fox! I can't believe you lost
the race like that! And all because of a girl
Thank you so much, said the girl, I am princess Auda.Ccome along with me to the
castle, I'll introduce you to my father
king Suleiman
Okay, so it was a princess!
But I will miss the last ship! - said Fox
That's ok, - said Auda. -We have a balloon,
it's a faster and more interesting way to travel!
I would say that Fix doesn't stand a chance
It's not fair, - cried Fix.
It's more than fair! - cried Fox and Auda. So when the race finally came to an end
Fox went on beating his friend Fix once again
Hey, you Fix, you hate losing, don't you? -And you, Mike, are you just like him?
Me? No way! I don't mind losing as long as I win
