Hector, come and eat your breakfast!But Mom,  

I have to go out and help people save  energy!Eat your breakfast first, young man. 

(The phone rang. It was Mr.  Big from the Big Company.) 

Hector, our company needs to find  ways to save energy. Can you help  

us? Yes, sir! I'll be there right away. After breakfast, Hector quickly put on his  

mask and cape, made from old curtains from Uncle  Jack's bedroom. He ran outside to his bicycle,  

Lightning. Lightning was not an ordinary bicycle.  It had bells, recycled whistles, and fancy  

buttons. It had pedals made out of old potato  mashers, and a seat made from an ironing pad. 

Let's help Mr. Big save energy, Lightning!  The boy and bicycle sped off into the city. 

On the way, Hector noticed that something  was wrong. A long line of cars, trucks,  

and taxis stood still on the road. It was a  traffic jam! Hector saw an ambulance stuck  

among the cars. He rode Lightning along  the bicycle path and up to the ambulance. 

My wife is goinG to have a baby!  Have no fear! I can help you! 

Hector pressed a button on Lightning. Bang! Wham!  Lighting was now a helicopter! He connected a  

cable from Lightning to the ambulance. Hector  jumped on the bike and began to pedal. The  

blades that once held an umbrella together were  spinning up in the air. The helicopter went high  

into the sky, carrying the ambulance with it.  As they went over the cars, Hector shouted to  

the people below. Carpools reduce traffic  jams and save fossil fuels! You can also  

take the train or the subway! Thank you, Hector! After he dropped off the ambulance at the hospital  

Hector rode Lightning to the Big Company.  Elevators and escalators were everywhere,  

carrying people up and down. Thank you for coming, Hector. My  

company needs lights and elevators, but they  use a lot of energy. Let's go to the roof,  

Mr. Big. But there's nothing on the roof. Exactly. The roof was hot and sunny. The sun gives us lots  

of heat and energy. You can put solar panels on  your roof. They'll make electricity to help run  

your lights and elevators. Solar water heaters  can give your company hot water for washing and  

cleaning. You can be an energy saver, too.  Excellent ideas, Hector! You're a hero! I'm  

just happy to help our planet. And now I must  go to help others save energy. Goodbye, Mr. Big!
