Because of the conductor.
Prism
The stone to throw the lights out, the flashlight to check if the lights are really out

A school teacher tells you to spit out your gum, a train says choo choo.
Because they didn't want to wait 40 years for a train!
The conductor.
One trains the mind the other minds the train.
