The Backpack
Tom Thomas is not having any luck fitting all of his school things into his backpack. He envys the Fixies who have pack-o-mats that can produce anything they need on command. Nolik and Tom Thomas decide to turn Tom Thomas’ backpack into a big pack-o-mat. First, they attach multi-colored strings to the objects inside so with just a pull on the appropriate cord he can get whatever he wants from inside the backpack. It works perfectly summoning a small eraser, but is unsuccessful with a heavy textbook. Simka laughs at the duo’s efforts. The boys are sure they can make this work and they’ll show Simka! Nolik secretly hides inside the backpack and throws out whatever Tom Thomas asks for. At first Simka can’t believe her eyes as objects come flying out of his backpack, but when the book won’t appear on command Simka figures out what has been going on and reveals Nolik inside the backpack struggling with the heavy object. Simka teaches them that the secret of a backpack working well is very simple: if it is packed carefully, anything can be taken out with ease.
