[Music] this is what happened one day when the ice cream van stopped by tu’s house ice cream and tufty goes to find his mommy tufty always asks his mommy to go with him to the ice cream van but Willie weasel has gone off to get an ice cream by himself oh dear oh Mommy Willie has been knocked down by a car now Willie has been hurt and all because he didn’t ask his mommy to go with him to the ice cream van when you want to go to the ice cream van always take mommy with you all here’s one of those Pelican Crossings what it’s all right it’s all right they’re very much like ordinary traffic signals green Amber red we have to stop who the Amber’s flashing what’s it mean well flashing amber means pedestrians have right away you see and we must wait for them to cross oh well they’ve crossed now can we drive on yes when the Amber is flashing and the crossing is clear we can go now tell me again what’s the sequence of lights after the green for go right steady Amber then red both mean stop of course flashing amber means pedestrians have right of away but we can go if the crossing is clear green means [Music] goly love as if I haven’t got enough to do all these bluming doors to coat with like getting through Checkpoint Charlie around the to doors you want a wige them open hang a bit I got one here AR I there you go oh Terry you are a good boy that’s better I’ll remember you in my world old is cracking on about them fire doors again they ought to leave them open all the time it’s stupid a it you coming in if there should be a far away you work the quickest way to make it spread is to wedge open a fire door fire doors prevent fire spreading and they a barrier against suffocating fumes and smoke giving you enough time to escape to safety never wedge open a fire door never lock them shut fire doors can save lives yours maybe this is my brother George this is Mommy she’s always telling us we must never talk to strangers no matter how nice they are the other day George was waiting for mommy when a man came up and offered him a site George shook his head then the man said would you like to come for a walk or ride in my car but then George remembered what mommy had her and hurried off to find her mommy was very pleased with him and she said he was a very good boy so children if someone you don’t know offers you something always refuse never ever talk to strangers you [Music] you most of us reckon we can handle our Motors after a few points take it easy and you’re done attract the law but what if some stupid git does this or this or this those few points just cost you your license so’s the stupid G now that’s the key this is my dad that’s my sister this is my mom and my [Music] man she always waits there she worries when we’re not all home mom and dad worry when I am mind you don’t burn yourself dry yourself properly you’ll ruin your eyes and every Saturday morning when me and Mom go shopping my n always tells me to look out for the traffic me it’s Mom she should be telling when she wants to get to the shop opposite she just takes off she doesn’t bother with the crossing we’ve been told at school not to go between parked cars but to use the crossings and my mom says that’s quite right when you’re young at home there’s all that sit up and eat up otherwise you won’t grow up to be big and strong and healthy and outside where there are cars and lers and buses wagging past my mom should be wearing air plates crossing the road good job she doesn’t drive my dad does and he’s very careful but he doesn’t always practice what he preaches me and him had been up in the park Sunday morning then he remembered we hadn’t bought the car I started walking to the subway and he tells me to make us late for our dinner it’s very funny how grown-ups can always be right even when they’re wrong now if anybody had tried that when he had been driving he’d have done his [Music] nut the best though was when I was with mom me and her R our way home after getting me more shoes anyway we have to cross the road and she didn’t even see the car coming she was about to tell the driver what she thought about him and he was at the car to do the same and do you know who he was my dad in our new car we could have all finished up as Min meet and you tell me how they would have explained that to my name look screen Crossman looks like you two need a lesson in crossing the road my little friend is going to show you how first find a safe place to cross here safe place away from parked cars where you can see the road is clear and drivers can see you stop near the curve but not too close look all around and listen for traffic if traffic is coming let it pass when there is no traffic near walk straight across looking and listening all the time we won’t be there when you cross the road so always use the Green Cross Road it’s Sunday go back to bed you can help me clean the car later children under five must never be let out of doors on their own stay with them make sure they can’t run into the road you do not go into the road how many more times how many more times for this small boy no more now run and tell your dad dinner’s ready dad
