- Matilda, listen to what my little friend writes me.
"My grandma always makes me do homework, but I'm so tired of it."
"When I grow up, I will definitely become a pirate."
"Everyone fears pirates and they do whatever they please."
How curious!
Matilda, are you afraid of pirates?
Oh, what shame, what shame!
Only cowards fear pirates!
Yes, yes.
And because of that, I must immediately relate a rather entertaining story.
Wonderful Island
In the vastness of the great blue ocean,
I'm my own helmsman, I'm my own captain.
Resourcefulness and courage, valor and luck,
to think quickly in trouble is the main goal!
The insidious depth waits for a treat in vain -
A coward is no man! Let's go, while we yet live!
Resourcefulness and courage, valor and luck,
To think quickly in trouble is the main goal!
Resourcefulness and courage, valor and luck,
To think quickly in trouble is the main goal!
"Storm"
Sixth...
Seventh...
Eighth!
Ninth wave!
Land!
Yeah...
I think this is the most uninhabited island out of all uninhabited islands on Earth.
- We're poor... - We're poor...
We're poor pirates!
- We're so very, very-very miserable!
- We rob both сoaches and frigates!
- And why?
- Because!..
We never were taught morals!
- A pirate needs no science!
- And it is obvious why!
We have both legs and arms!
- And arms!
- But of heads we need none!
- Sharks eat me if that's not an island!
- Those are...
pirates!
Stand from under!
All hands on deck!
Full speed ahead!
Hey, over there! On the island!
Give us your chest!
- Get out, we have seen you.
- Give up!
- Are you talking...
to me?
- To you, dang it! To whom else?
- Well, in that case, I will tell you only one thing...
Munchausen never gives up!
- Let's tickle his nerves for a bit.
Fire!
- Hey, it hit! - Silence!
Run for your lives!
- It was not that easy to tame this fish!
I swear by my tricorne hat!
- Hey, Munchausen!
Do you hear me?
- Yeah, yeah, I do.
Save us, oh, noble Munchausen!
- I'll have none of that!
You got what you deserve!
- I beg you, Munchausen!
Spare us!
- We did not listen to our grandma!
We will not do it again!
- Alright, I will spare you
but you must promise that you will become completely different people!
- So what must we do?
- Stop stealing and drowning ships,
get a job!
- We agree!
Now take us out of here!
Ein moment!
Alley-op!
- We could've been stuck forever
in the stomach of that miraculous fish
- if you had not saved us from death!
- If you had not spared us!
We'll say it once, we'll say it twice, and repeat it all again:
We are so thankful to you, Munchausen!
We'll say it once, we'll say it twice, and repeat it all again:
We are so thankful to you, Munchausen!
- Yeah, the pirates could have forever been stuck in the stomach of that miraculous fish!
But I hope that this lesson...
was one that served them well!
