Listen, my dear!
We've got an awkward social situation here...
We've been running for a whole hour, one might say - just the two of us,
but we still have not gotten acquainted!
It would seem so awkward - after all,
I'm chasing you to... how shall I put it...
...Nom!
So what? So what?
Big deal!
The one thing does not interfere with the other!
Let's get acquainted!
Well... sure, let's do it... I am Fox!
Ah! Pleased to meet you!... I am Hare!
I only hope you don't think that it is due to some trick
that I decided to have a chat with you!...
My intentions are pure. Straight from the heart.
Don't be silly! I never entertained the thought!
How could I... not understand -
I, too... ugh! Speak from the heart ...
It is so nice talking with you!
Likewise!
- And you... - Excuse me for interrupting you...
Hummock ahead! Be careful not to stumble!
Thank you, thank you!
Could you veer left a little?
No problem... with pleasure!
- Ah! - Aaah!
I have long wanted to ask you...
Is it difficult for you, hares, to find food in winter?
Oh no, it's not too bad...
Enough to live on.
But for us, it's tough!
Well...
If you fear when things get tough, You may never eat enough!
Yes... yes..
You are right.
I'm sorry that I did not ask you earlier...
Have you had lunch today?
You know, I have not had the opportunity.
Oh, no, that's no good.
Meals should be regular.
Otherwise, you can lose weight!
No wonder you look so skinny!
Well, meals can be elusive... Sometimes, I don't eat at...
No, no, no! A good diet is key! Absolutely key!
One should not neglect it!
Three meals a day.
Strengthens the body!
Have you, yourself, had lunch today?
No worries! I still have time.
Do you know...
You probably won't believe me...
But I will tell you frankly...
Do not get me wrong...
Since childhood I've been,
how shall I put it...
Shy, I suppose...
That's why sometimes I want to talk to someone,
To talk about myself...
To share, so to speak, my innermost thoughts...
But then I get to thinking...
Probably, my thoughts are not of interest to anyone -
As soon as I begin to express my thoughts,
My feelings...
It will all... sound ridiculous.
They'll laugh at me.
Oh, perish the thought!
You can't think like that!
But I do...
And anyway, you know, my life hasn't really turned out right...
Maybe it's my shy nature... Or most likely...
...because I am simply unlucky...
Oh, don't be like that! You're talking nonsense! Nonsense!
Going on like this will only make one mope!
Yes...
Sometimes I want to just stop caring about all of it!
To hell with it!
Hang it all...
What is this? This won't do at all!
The main thing is to not lose faith in yourself!
In life, you must, as they say, get a grip!
Yes, yes! Get a grip!
How could I possibly get a grip?
What's all this? Look, you say you are unlucky, shy...
But everything depends on you! Yes! On you!
Just try and tell yourself, for once:
"Yes, I can!"
"I will do it!"
Just try.
And everything will turn out right! Everything!
You speak so well...
You have the gift of persuasion.
I will try.
Naturally. How else? What you need is firmness:
Now, say to yourself: "Yes, I can!"
Then everything will change in your life. Yes!
Everything will be different. Well, make your decision!
Right now?
Why not? Why wait? Come on!
You're right. Am I any worse than others?
That's it!
I, too, can do it! I will do it!
Well, well! Come on!
I can do it! I will do it!
That's it!
I can, and I will! I can, and I will!
He really was right, that hare...
I really...
I really can do it!
The End
