double and the scared going to the
you're just in time because because have

firefighter is so much fun but you have
to wear a lot of stuff there's a lot you
have to learn to forget all the
equipment you use when you're a
firefighter big good hard hat and a
waterproof coat
and of koi a great big loud fire engine
all right in that oval these men are
learning how to be firefighters at a
special firefighter school they have to
learn to use react and of course how to
work the heavy strong fire hose
all right move it
they also have to learn two words a big
huge nether for when a fire isn't at all
Oh building
don't worry this is a pretend fire so
the men can practice
that girl really isn't in any danger but
firemen have to practice rescuing people
too
there's one more important thing
firefighters have to practice how to
work together when you're a firefighter
the only thing more important than your
equipment is the people who work with
you well I'll just spend some you to
play with my my staff finish the puzzle

coloring whoa this hat is perfect and
it's jacket now let's see who can I say

excuse me dilly whoo but I was playing
with it fudge and I have to go to the
bathroom unfortunately but then I came
right back so eat me
you were playing with it and now I am
playing with it so stop bothering me I'm
going to ask one last time or what
you'll have to catch me first
load em Suman you been - just your and
you can have a litter you are being
selfish
well you always think everything is your
well because and the gusik no chicken no
it's my what's going on whoa buddy Musso
Lala Julie and Kiki are angry with each
other yeah Malita Malita Malita medida
medida because they both want to play
with the same toys
bounce bounce no stops oh I've got my
soggy sneaker and my comfy sofa Oh what
more could a doggie ask for Oh sizzle my
pet could you kindly move this is my
sofa in which I intend to take my
world-famous I've already found my spots
is all and you are in it even dogs play
with you playing with it
oh yeah you too we understand the
problem and we have a solution
yes we have a solution mm-hmm you do
Skyy oh right hmm since both of you want
to play with the firefighter stuff and
since both of you disagree about who
gets to play with it hmm why don't you
share
it's actually show good jobs from some
tips hi do not one to share hey neither
do why you don't well why not why not
why not because at home I always have to
share I'm the oldest and I'm always
supposed to share with your brother
share with your sisters yeah and with my
new baby sister that's all I ever hear
she's a baby and you're a big girl you
have to share your mommy you have to
share your dad yeah
share your crowd share your room share
your candy and I was playing with this
stuff first so I don't want to I
don't want to share either taking left
it and it's not fair okay okay since
sharing isn't going to work how about
taking turns and it's my turn it's not
your turn because my turn is not over
yet figured out somebody hey Thank You
Leon
sure how do you figure it out when
someone puts something down and someone
else wants to play with it yeah I go
over to the parson and asked him if I
could use it give it back to the program
I left it there if they know the person
give it back and if they don't leave it
where I was I think that somebody should
ask before they use something that isn't
theirs so do any of those ideas work for
you hmm
apparently not
hmm Leon I think we need to ask a
grown-up for some help yeah hey hey I
know just the right person
my uncle Victorio why your uncle
Victorio oh because he knows all about
this kind of thing yeah he sits on our
tribal council
hmm what's that well Kiki the tribal
council is where the grown-ups in our
community go to get help when they can't
figure out a problem on their own well
good
if uncle Victorio knows how to be fair
he'll agree with me now after he knows I
was playing with big fish um girls this
way please
Julie keiki rebus leis call my uncle
Victorio and his cabin hello oh hello
sky hi kids how's everyone mm-hmm and
what's on your minds oh well uncle
Victoria Julian Kiki here he got into a
fight over the fire fighter toys see
Kiki was playing with him but then she
left cuz she had to go to UM she had to
go somewhere and then Julie started
playing with them and now both of them
think that they should have the toys and
we can't figure out what's fair and they
don't want to share yeah or take turns
that sounds pretty serious
Julie Kiki yeah if you don't want to
share and you don't want to take turns
maybe neither of you should play with
the toys if that's what you want
hmm does this sort of thing happen a lot
at the puzzle place sometimes quite a
bit then you should consider making a
rule uh a rule what do you mean uncle
Victoria well all of you should agree on
what to do when something like this
happens then when somebody leaves a toy
out you won't fight about what she said
what he said you'll do what the rule
sets and it'll be fair for everybody
because everybody helped make up the
rule how does that sound
wow that's pretty good I'm gonna try to
do that meet you but remember you must
listen to each other because everybody
must agree on the rule good luck kids
Skye we're going camping next weekend
right oh yeah you
uncle Victoria I'll see you then bye-bye
well that was great sky but one question
who gets to play with the firefighters
stuff now hmm
well uncle Victoria didn't tell us that
but he did tell us away we can work it
out you know
Oh
hmm okay everybody hmm all right now
then let's think of a rule hmm let's see
here huh
oh hey I know I know if you want to play
with something you have to ask every
person in every room at the puzzle place
first if they want it before you can
play with it well that'd be okay sky if
you want to spend the whole day going
through 96 rooms not kind of the
bathroom I can remember when my friend
Te'o came to the puzzle place and was
going from room to room trying to find
me got really tired looking at each and
every room
hmm good point Leon hey I have an idea
at school we have cubbyholes little
boxes where we put all of our stuff why
don't we make cubby holes here hmm well
beyond the problem with cubby holes is
that you end up stuffing your cubby hole
with everything just in case you want to
play with it later and then you forget
what's in there and nobody can find
anything my friend Adina had that very
problem with her cubby hole it was so
stuffed that when she wanted to play
with her favorite doll it took forever
to pull her out hmm oh well so much for
cubby holes just like the Kim
oh no Kiki that's even worse than
cubbies then stuff will be locked up and
if you aren't at the puzzle place when
someone wants to play with something
that's in your locker they won't be able
to get to it like one day in gym class
we wanted to play t-ball but the ball
was inside the locker and we tried
everything to get it out
coach Tompkins was out with a cold and
our substitute teacher mrs. young
couldn't figure out which was the right
key
okay lockers are not good either you
know my parents made a rule daddy puts
his reading glasses on top of the
newspaper he's filled us to read and
mommy knows not to do the newspaper away
oh so we need reading glasses
no no Leela yeah we need a signal like a
sign
what Kiki means is when you're playing
with something but you want to leave it
for a little while you can put a little
sign on it that's right to me Oh
it will still be yours when you come
back yeah I know just the kind we could
make little signs with photos of
ourselves hey I could take the pictures
yeah and then we have paper and crayons
right okay everyone so the puzzle place
rule is if you're playing with a toy and
you leave but you want to keep playing
with it when you come back you put your
little sign on it everyone agree I agree
I agree
it's their turn to play with the
firefighters stuff I'll get the crayons
okay great I'll get the paper camera hey
no I was gonna get my picture taken
today let's just see now oh oh I've got
the jack attached to the sofa check and
I got the governor in the kernel I'm all
set to go skydiving but it was no dream
okay sizzle I for you to take a little
trip to the floor so I can get my sofa
back and we can talk about it okay sure
we can work out something start talkin
sizzle mom listen my little sign is
really great and my sign is done - and I
love mine get my Bell finished I really
like your uncle Victoria he gave us a
great idea to find another way hmm but
I've been thinking Oh what happens if
somebody leaves our sign earn on
something for a really long time
hmm I don't know Kiki and I guess we'll
have to make a new rule for that oh we
can do that
something
better than trying to throw me off the
sofa oh yeah
except except for that there was no room
for my sneaker well that's all it's
right over there hmm
y'all that's true well I guess I could
visit it every now and then hmm
and in the meantime I get to take a nap
with my favorite dog Oh kitty kid huh
sources oh but maybe you can just move
your head maybe for school Oh somebody's
arms you know you're on my back Sally
hold up pull Annie just wait no that
locale right buzz if you'll just get
over there okay let's go
that's good no I just
you
