We live in Russia.
The state emblem of Russia is a two-headed eagle.
St. George the victor is on his chest (Piercing an evil dragon).
The Russian flag is three-colored:
white, blue and red.
The capital is Moscow.
Russia is the largest country in the world.
There are many lakes and rivers.
The region of most lakes is Karelia.
On the Kizhi island stands an old wooden church.
It was built without a single nail.
The capital of Karelia is Petrozavodsk.
Long ago cannons, ship anchors and rapiers were made here.
The largest berries and mushrooms grow in karelian forests.
And here fly the largest mosquitoes.
Funny animals are made out of birch bark.
All kinds of tales are told here.
And each of the tales is like a precious stone, a gem.

“ABOUT A RAM AND A GOAT”
This one man had a ram and a…
…I forgot. Well, what’s it… ah… a goat!
Get out of here!
Damn you!…
One day lots of guests came to see the master.
Oh! Finally!
Oh, gosh!
He decided to knife the ram.
The ram’s tastier than the goat, anyway.
Ram!…ram!…
and they’ll kill you!…
let’s run into the forest!
What about hay?
There’s tons of hay!
Well, let’s run…
Oh!…where?!!…ah?!!…gone!!! Ah?…
So they agreed and kept going.
They see a cow’s skull.
Oh, wow!
What a head!
You know, you should put this skull into the bag.
What bag you talking about?
Why on earth do we need it…
take it… anything might come in handy.
Why on earth?
A wisp of hay would be better, of course.
You dumb sheep!
Oh, you start cursing at every trifle.
But the ram obeyed the goat.
He took the skull and they went into the woods.
They got into the very thicket.
At night it grew cold.
Even steam started coming out of noses.
It’s getting cold.
My tale is all frozen.
Look there, a fire!
Let’s go, maybe we’ll get warm.
Here comes our dinner!
That’s put the lid on us!
What lid?
Quiet, quiet. Stop…
Hey, guys!
Hello!
Well? Just sitting here, eh?
You cold or something?
Warming ourselves.
Well, it is getting cold, of course…
what you got there in the bag?
Give it here!
We should make a meat jelly!
The main care against the cold is
to make sure you don’t starve to death…
bring it here, anyway.
What?
Come on, why’re you stalling?!!
Give a head here! You know!!…
a wolf’s head!!!
And pick a big one! To make the jelly richer!
Here… well… e-eh… that’s what I had, here.
Not that one!…
…there’s another one, with more teeth!
You mean this one?
You really are a dumb sheep.
Wrong one again!…
the one that’s on the very bottom!
Get that one, come on!…
The fatter one!
Which one do you mean?
The one that we cut off the last!
And the ears, the ears!
What a great wolf!
Just the right one for meat-jelly!
Let’s stew it!
Did you see that?!!
A whole bag!
They cut ‘em off!!!
We should run!
So, do you have a pot orbucket without holes?
We have a bucket, it’s there…
under the asp… under the tree…
it’s hidden.
Go, run!!! Get the bucket.
What about me?!!!
So… where’re we in such a hurry to?
Oh, such trouble!
This one came to us …
… what’s his name …
…a goat.
…And with him a ram!
They have a whole bag of wolves’ heads…
so we got scared.
Oh, you’re such fools!
Scared of a goat and a ram.
Let’s go back.
It’s time for dinner!
We’re almost there.
We’ll settle things now!
Oh, come on! Ouch!!!
Get on the oak.
Why on earth…?
Come on, ram!
Here’s that clearing.
Well?
So where’s that goat?
And where’s that ram? Where?!!!
I don’t know.
Just now, they were sitting right here.
E-ew… a goat!!!
Yeah! A puzzle. I’ll have to fortune-tell.
A boar taught me to tell fortunes using acorns.
Get me some acorns, guys.
I’ll use them to tell fortunes.
I’ll tell where the goat and ram are.
Acorns won’t lie.
They’ll show everything right.
I’ll fall… I can’t hold anymore,
my hoofs are tired.
Hold on, dear ram!
I don’t see any acorns… there, loads of them!
Ram, dear hold on!
The bear, hold the bear!
Forget about the wolves!
Who cares… if we could get… a bear!
So why on earth are we sitting here?
Some hay’d be nice!
Let’s build a log hut and live here!
Let’s.
So that’s what they did
they built a hut and lived in it for a 103 years.
The wolves ran errands for them.
And the bear worked at the bee-garden.
It’s nice to be close to honey.
Here such history has happened
