sparxx1still.gif (6148 bytes) 1. The correct answer here was a) or c). Trying a different light bulb or checking to see if the lamp is plugged in is the safe way to find out why your lamp isn't working. See what happened to Sparxx when he put his finger in the socket!
 

2. The right answer was b). You should never put metal objects or fingers into an appliance that's plugged in! Unplug the toaster first! (And if you turn the tosaster upside down and shake it your Mom will be cross at you for making a mess!)

Question 2

Question 3  3. There were two right answers: a) and c). Water makes a perfect conductor of electricity. That's why you should never have an electrical appliance near the tub. Just make sure you are dry before touching the radio or any electrical appliance. This is what happened to Sparxx when he tried to turn up his radio!
 

 4. The correct answer was b). Never climb a tree that's near wires or hydro poles, or this could happen to you! (And by the way, you should never fly a kite near hydro poles or wires!) Sparx found that out the hard way!

Question 4

Question 5  5. The right answer was c). You should never climb a fence or go in a place where you see a KEEP OUT or DANGER sign! Poor Sparxx.. Ooouuuuuch! That has to hurt!
 

 6. The right answer was b). It's far safer to stay in the car wait for help. Though it might be possible to jump out of the car, do you think you'd be fast enough not to touch the car and the ground in the same instant? Look what happened to Sparxx when he tried!

Question 6

Question 7  7. The correct answer was c). While it's a good idea to clear the lawn of toys and other objects before you start cutting the grass, it's a very good idea to be careful about running over electrical cords! Just look what happened to Sparxx!

Whew! Looks like Sparxx the Cat used up 7 of his 9 lives by being careless around electricity!
Be sure YOU follow the safety rules... Remember, you only have one life!
