Danilo and Nenila Based on the eponymous folk tale by B. Shergin
First film
[Some kingdom] About this rooster, and that water under lock and key,
here is what they say:
In a certain kingdom lived a little king.
Old & fragile he was,
but he kept healthy by the fact that he had a secret water.
Fizzy & mineral.
The rooster was guard of the water source.
He wasn't a simple rooster, but an enchanted flame.
The little king had inherited this rooster. Thus he ruled his kingdom.
And with the king lived his lazy son.
Venka the Nondescript, the spitting image of a monkey
This is his nanny
and her son Danila.
In the service of the little king.
And this is the Queen, a fool with a sweet tooth.
So this is how they lived.
The ruler was worried.
"Get up, bum!"
"Wake up to your happiness."
"Neighbor Nenila has reached the marrying age and is looking out for a husband."
"It would be a shame if a stranger seizes her land."
"Especially when you yourself are not that bad looking."
"So, get ready! Danilo will take you there."
The Queen was versed in medicine-making.
Just in case, she handed Venka a concoction for the road,
which would take away one's memory.
[Some Kingdom]
Venka soon caught up with his happiness.
"Will you accept a royal visit?"
Nenila answered:
"Let me just pour out the milk, then visiting hours will start."
"My apologies, beloved guests!"
As she saw Danila she asked: "What kingdom does this warrior come from?"
And Venka: "This is Danilo."
"Daddy's machinist."
"Madam, let me enlighten you with a map."
"Our state and yours are like neighboring yards."
But Nenila said to him: "Let's test your laboring capacity."
Run over there and cut down that second tree so that it doesn't block the light.
"Should I get my suit dirty? Danilka will master this."
Then Venka interupts once more: "Madam, when will the wedding be?"
"A good deed should not be left unrewarded," Nenila replied.
Then Venka the Nondescript thought of a villainy.
"Where is Danila? Where is Danila?" - whispers Nenila.
"Here I am, here," - Danila responded.
But Nenila replied: "Your personality doesn't seem familiar "
And again: "Where is Danila, where?"
And Venka the villain: "Dress up the queen for marriage." So...
She'll be out of her right mind for a month.
I'll teach her to mind her step!
But the queen was, you see, not that painstakingly versed in medicine.
The madness passed by morning.
"Where I am?"
And Venka told her: "You are, well, sailing with me to get married."
- "At our humble abode." - "Where is Danila?"
"That drunkard fell from the steamer."
"He drowned before my own eyes."
"You're lying. My Danilushka doesn't drink!"
"They've killed Danilo!"
Nenila was angry: "Tell me, you crook, where is Danila?"
Misfortune had struck...
But that's not how this tale will end.

Danilo and Nenila Based on the eponymous folk tale by B. Shergin
Second film
Joy looked in the window, but grief came through the door.
Eh, you good-for-nothing snot-nose! What a disgrace!
But mama said that she wouldn't be in her right mind for a whole month.
Oh, you sour wool!
Nenilka behaves like a wild fowl. But you'll see, she'll come around.
We have lots of land in our estate - oo-oo-oo! and our water is still sparkling.
Yes, and with my own hands, I pushed Danilko, like a mosquito, into the sea.
Danila, Danilushka, you're alive!
I'm alive. I didn't drown.
I froze my sleeve to an ice floe, and it washed ashore.
My feet died from frost. Who will need me, a cripple, now?
Where there is happiness, envy is nearby.
And envy, you see, will lead to villainy.
"Eh, if I had the little king's water, I'd be whole again."
- "What kind of water?" - "Healing water."
"It used to be beneficial for all crippled."
"Any evil could be overcome by that good water."
"Well, but then a very bad misfortune happened."
"No good could prevent it."
"From out of nowhere the little king came,"
"and put this water in chains."
"And he posted a rooster to guard the water."
"Not a simple rooster, but a bewitched flame. He burns everyone."
"From then on the little king reigned."
"They used to day: When the witch-craft will fail, the rooster will crow."
"And it'll be the end of the little king's kingdom."
"As soon as you hear the rooster crow, approach the water."
"Even that evil may be overcome with good."
It is said that an evil conspiracy using fire will come out and turn into light.
Yes, you eat, eat, my precious!
Sir, my mind was clouded recently. This is me coming about.
I adore you, Venechka, from first sight.
What joy! Daughter!
Let's light up the samovar, have some tea, and dress you in gold
That's how they flew away, taking off with their happiness, Danila and Nenila.
And Venka and his father were left with nothing.
