The woodpecker is a kind and good bird!
He helped two wolverines
They were very grateful for his help!
A Woodpecker helped a wolverine?
How did that happen, Grandpa?
A woodpecker is so small!
The woodpecker is small, but brave!
Just listen...
One day, two wolverines decided to find a new home
Someone had said to them that there was more food on the other side of the river
This happened on our taiga, where these animals live, in the summer.
What do you want, Fox?
This is, of course, none of my business ..
But before you leave, I would first inspect this new location
Maybe it's worse than here across the river.
Didn't I tell you! And you did not listen. You kept saying, 'let's go!'
I'll give you an advice!
Go first without your belongings and select a new location for your home.
In the meantime I can guard your belongings!
Thank you, dear fox!
We will do so
Go away, fox. This is none of your business!
You will repent later!
Come, wife. Let's do as we have decided before!
It's a lot of weight, though!
You never listen to well meant advice!
A fox always cheats!
You stay here and guard our belongings. I'll bring the other things.
Why are you crying, dear?
We part. It makes me sad.
Your husband would not listen to me
I still want to help you
So that you'll have good memories of me.
How can you help us?
While your husband goes for your other things, I will help you to move these ones across the river.
Why should you spend extra energy?
I do not know what to do. My husband told me to sit here
You just keep sitting here. I'll do it for you. Just look!
What are you doing, Wolverine?
How can you trust the fox?
Wait, Fox!
I'll go with you!
Well, let's go!
But I'm afraid the boat will sink, with the extra weight.
Hey, Fox! Where do you go with the boat?
Navigate to the other side!
Do't be afraid! I'll put it where you want to go!
I must help her!
You are always interfering in other animal's business!
An honest bird must help those who are in trouble!
True, true, true!
Don't cry! I'll help you!
The fox has already helped. I had enough help!
The river flows and I'm floating on a boat
I'm floating home in a boat with booty!
A fox is smarter and more cunning than anyone!
Nobody knows how to deceive animals like me!
Nobody knows how to deceive... Ahhh!
Ugh, stupid Wolverines!
It's a leaky boat!
What happened to you, Fox?
My boat sprung a leak!
I don'tr know what to do now.
This is nothing. Let's get some fir resin, and stop the leak with it
Hmm, good idea!
You're a fox, wait here. I'll get it.
Now hold up your paws and wait. The resin will flow directly to your paws!
Come on, fox, get a bit to the left. There too you need to collect.
You scoundrel! You deceived me!
You should not deceive others yourself!
What have you done, my wife!
Why have you trusted the fox?
We can't go further like this!
The cold river flows,
and the fox sits and cries!
No one believes her. Nobody will invite the fox on a visit
The wolverine learned a lesson!
Thank you, woodpecker!
Thank you, dear woodpecker!
I will never be so gullible anymore!
Shouldn't we give a reward to the woodpecker?
I'll make a shiny jacket for the woodpecker!
... and a red cap!
good!
Since those days, the woodpecker has become elegant and beautiful!
Good birdie, nice birdie!
A beautiful woodpecker!
