The Adsent-Minded Wizard
(based on a story by Evgeny Schwartz)

5
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,260
Once upon a time
there lived a scientist,

6
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:36,600
a real good wizard named
Ivan Ivanovich Sidorov.

7
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:41,860
And he was such a great engineer

8
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,300
that he could quickly and easily
build machines

9
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,420
as big as palaces

10
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,600
and as small as hand watches.

11
00:01:06,820 --> 00:01:08,850
His machines could sweep floors

12
00:01:08,960 --> 00:01:10,300
and chase away flies,

13
00:01:10,501 --> 00:01:13,701
and grind coffee beans,
and play dominoes.

14
00:01:32,670 --> 00:01:36,510
His favorite machine was the size of a cat

15
00:01:36,710 --> 00:01:38,940
but it followed its master like a dog

16
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,480
and was as smart as a man.

17
00:01:50,590 --> 00:01:52,640
Though Ivan Ivanovich
was a very good person,

18
00:01:52,740 --> 00:01:54,660
he was very absent-minded.

19
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,940
Sometimes he would go out
wearing two hats at once,

20
00:01:58,041 --> 00:02:00,941
or even forget that he had
a meeting that evening.

21
00:02:01,090 --> 00:02:03,890
At times like these the machine
would help him a lot.

22
00:02:05,310 --> 00:02:09,140
One day Ivan Ivanovich went
for a walk in the woods

23
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,300
The smart machine was running behind him,

24
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,240
ringing in its bell and having fun.

25
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,760
Suddenly they heard hooves pounding

26
00:02:28,611 --> 00:02:30,661
and wheels creaking.

27
00:02:30,860 --> 00:02:34,770
And they saw a little boy
riding towards them

28
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:36,650
bringing grain to the mill.

29
00:02:36,750 --> 00:02:38,550
The wondrous machine started growling;

30
00:02:38,651 --> 00:02:40,651
it had never seen a horse before.

31
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:44,680
The boy stopped the cart

32
00:02:44,780 --> 00:02:46,160
and started asking questions:

33
00:02:46,261 --> 00:02:48,861
"What is this machine?
How is it made?"

34
00:02:49,050 --> 00:02:51,040
and so Ivan Ivanovich explained.

35
00:03:10,450 --> 00:03:11,620
The boy was amazed

36
00:03:11,671 --> 00:03:13,821
"You are just like a real wizard."

37
00:03:13,920 --> 00:03:17,140
"Something like that,"
said Ivan Ivanovich.

38
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:21,080
"Can you turn my horse into a cat?"

39
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:25,300
"Why not? This," he said,
"is a magic glass!

40
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:30,040
"One, two, three."

41
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,800
And suddenly instead of the horse

42
00:03:33,900 --> 00:03:36,920
the boy saw a harnessed cat.

43
00:03:39,890 --> 00:03:41,730
The machine screamed out:

44
00:03:41,830 --> 00:03:47,120
"You forgot that your magic
returning glass is being repaired!"

45
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,320
And the boy started crying:

46
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:54,980
"How will you turn my cat
back into a horse now?"

47
00:03:55,430 --> 00:03:58,740
Ivan Ivanovich said: "Don't cry,

48
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,540
it's still your horse
only in a form of a cat.

49
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,520
In a month I'll return it to normal."

50
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,540
When they returned
to the village of Murino,

51
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:15,280
everybody big and small
came to see the wondrous cat.

52
00:04:26,460 --> 00:04:28,700
The cat was brought home.

53
00:04:30,700 --> 00:04:33,830
And it started living
just like a normal cat

54
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:39,460
Drinking milk, chasing mice
and sleeping on the stove.

55
00:04:39,860 --> 00:04:42,740
And in the morning they would harness it

56
00:04:42,840 --> 00:04:46,250
and the cat would work like a horse.

57
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,270
The wondrous machine often visited the cat

58
00:04:54,370 --> 00:04:55,710
and taught it how to "meow".

59
00:04:55,861 --> 00:04:59,761
The machine said that it does not do
for a cat to talk like a horse.

60
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,460
And so a month passed.

61
00:05:07,910 --> 00:05:15,000
Then one night, Ivan Ivanovich
got his magic glass.

62
00:06:18,790 --> 00:06:22,080
That day the horse became a horse again.

63
00:06:23,030 --> 00:06:25,060
In the night it would easily climb the roof

64
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,020
just like a cat and wander
up there till dawn.

65
00:06:29,270 --> 00:06:30,920
And the wondrous machine would

66
00:06:31,020 --> 00:06:34,660
still visit to tell the horse about its life

67
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,020
and the horse would tell the machine about its own.

68
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:39,720
And they understood each other

69
00:06:39,820 --> 00:06:42,440
like the very best friends.

70
00:06:45,641 --> 00:06:47,001
