THERE'S NOTHING IN THE WORLD THAT CAN'T HAPPEN
There's nothing in the world that can't happen!
Can't happen...
Have you heard of this?
There once was a man.
A rich man.
It used to be that he would affirm the truth of any rubbish that he was told.
And one day he announced to the whole world:
"If anyone persuades me to say 'That's a lie!',
I'll give him gold...
and my daughter Alyona to be his wife."
So there's a storyteller from our village
that came to him.
"Put out a plate of gold and sit your daughter on the bench. I'll persuade you!"
Well, begin your tale...
Just make sure you don't get the whip instead of gold.
Now, there's nothing that can't happen in this world!
One day I was tending bees.
One must take them out to pasture in the morning,
and then in the evening, you bring those bees back, count them, milk them.
Now there was a real hard job!
What's unusual about this?
Then one day...
I brought the bees in from their pasture,
counted them and there was one bee missing.
Holy moly! We're in trouble!
I ran out to find the bee when suddenly: I hear a bee bawling somewhere!
Across the river, seven wolves had attacked her! I rushed over...
I started looking for a way to climb to the top, but then...
someone was blowing so much smoke...
I jumped to the other bank,
and hit the ground so hard that I sank into it up to my waist.
I ran home.
I grabbed a shovel - and dug myself out.
I returned...
Trouble! There was no... bee anymore.
I looked closely - there was my bee...
but it was not breathing!
What was I to do? I couldn't just leave the good stuff behind! So I...
skinned it, chopped the meat...
and dragged it home.
That's how big it was!
There's nothing that can't happen in the world!
Maybe it's true.
It's true all right, but there's something missing.
Well, I'm off.
Well I was off... to go into the woods,
where I sniffed around - and found roasted woodpeckers squeaking in a tree.
One.
Two.
Three.
Well, it just so happened that the sky had a hole in it.
I felt like things would go badly soon; I needed to sew up the sky.
But how?
I climbed the tallest tree.
The very, very tallest.
I almost got lost.
That's when the rain stopped!
Well, I thought: I'll climb further into the sky -
and see what's going on up there.
So what did you see up there?
Well, there in the sky...
your father's son was herding pigs!
That's a lie!
No way!
So that man had to marry his daughter off to the storyteller.
After all, a deal's a deal.
