- Children! Who would like to go and fight the rodents today?
- I would! Me! Me! Me! I will go!
- I'll take along the hedgehog.
- Why?
- Well, you know how well he catches mice! Better than a cat!
- Children! Today you will be working at a new location.
- First put traps by the stream,
and then here, by the road.
- Take the nets, traps, shovels, buckets and pegs.
- Sing!
He who protects the crops, Like a trusty sentry
And rings each golden oar with care,
He who greets the harvest, Collects the harvest.
Our collective farm's, our wonderful,
and sound harvest. - It works!!!
- Great!
He who with the oars Maintains strong friendship,
He who battles the rodents,
Marches out to fight the mice,
He who greets the harvest, collects the harvest...
A gopher eats two and a half kilograms
- So how much will thousand gophers eat?
- Two and a half tons! - Oh!
- And a hamster eats three times as much.
Even a mouse eats almost a kilo!
- Zoya! - Vova!
- Go to the other end of the field!
- Don't fall behind!
- Okay!
- Hedgehog!
- Bobby, where's the hedgehog?
- The hedgehog!
- I think he went with the other guys.
- Let's run after them!
- What a shame...
- You lost your comrade.
- The dog did too...
- Bobby...
- Bobby, find the hedgehog.
- Bobby! Search!
- Look! He brought a gopher!
- Bobby! What do you think you're doing?
- But where's the hedgehog?
- Where are you dragging me?
- Guys, there are probably rodents in the field!
- Let's run there!
- Hurry!
- Guys!
- Over here! Behind the hillock!
- Look how many of them there are!
- Hurry!
- Drive them into the traps!
Gotcha!
- You won't get away from me!
- Gotcha, you monster!
- Bring the water!
- Inundate the burrows!
- I'll go pour out a whole bucket too.
- Poor thing, you got scratched up...
- Because he fought with the rodents!
- He was helping us!
- Well, we'll give him some milk for his bravery!
- Yeah.
- We gave the rodents what for!
- Serves them right. They won't stick their noses in our rye again.
