At that moment the television remote control spoke. "Do not worry. When a toy leaves us the glowing box predicts the coming of a new one to take its place." The controller talked calmly while gesturing in awe at the turned off television. "There is an order to things: first a toy is foreseen on the wonderful box and soon after it appears in the room. The magic box did not have a premonition about the wind-up dog so he must be of no importance." The others agreed and went back to their spots dismissing the pup as being in the same category as things in Henry's little sister's room like baking ovens and board games. Still, the oversized major was suspicious of the new arrival.

Late that night the toys were startled awake by the sound of breaking glass. Two burglars were robbing the house. They crept upstairs and searched the boy's room with flashlights. Bright beams scanned over the toys. Then it was dark again as the thieves went into the hallway. The remote control crawled out from under the bed and fainted when it discovered an empty space on the entertainment stand. The television was stolen! The toys were shocked at the loss of the wonderful cube.
