STORK
(According to the Uzbek folk tale)
Fields are all around - my fields
Water flows - my water
Coins are ringing - my coins
98 coins, 99...
Oh! One more... and there will be a hundred
Ah, Hassan ?! Hassan! You will not go to Paradise now!
Why, master?
You steal my water!
Pay me a coin, faster! One coin...
But remember, Adjar-Bay, I paid you only yesterday!
Yesterday? Oh, yesterday... yesterday...
Well, yesterday you paid for yesterday's water, and today -...
...one coin
Do you hear, master? Sands are singing...
Hamsyn is approaching- the hot wind of death...
Fields will die without water...
Hamsyn?- It's good! Then, pay me two coins!
From one head you can't take off two skullcaps! I have no more money...
No coin - no water! Ah-ah! Oh!
No coin - no water!
Hamsin is coming- water is needed, my water.. The coins are ringing - my coins...
Where? Where? My water! My water! My water!
Watermelon seed!
Hasan has a holiday?
And he said that he had no more coin...
Heh! Just, trust people after that!
I gave the stork water - he came to life, and gave me a seed...
From it grew this watermelon...
Hassan! How much gold! Where do you spend?
I will give you, him, and him...
But, here is a lot of gold...
And the poor people in the world- are even more...
Ay! Wow! Poor... poor stork...
Who dared to offend you?
I will help you. I will give you water - plenty of water...
And you'll give me a watermelon seed...
My load is heavy, the watermelon is great... But, inside it- are coins, my coins...
Help me, stork!
I treated you!
