Oh he's fallen! What a misfortune!
Oh! Mis-fortune...
Aha! Well, now I know what misfortune is.
But what then is fortune?
I'll have to ask around.
Come in, come in!
Hello Sheep. Is there any fortune here?
Fortune? I'd have to look.
I can't see any.
That's too bad
Listen Donkey, perhaps this is your fortune.
No, I don't think so.
I'll go visit Goat.
Perhaps it's there, my fortune.
Goodbye - Goodbye
My milk is as white as a daisy.
I churn my butter in a cup with a spoon.
Oh, it's you. Come in. Come in.
Good day, Goat.
Is there any fortune here?
Fortune? - Mhm...
Probably.
But I don't know where it lies.
Perhaps, over there.
Let's look and see.
Is this it?
Don't be silly. That's milk, butter and cream.
Alright. Alright. There was no fortune at Sheep's,
and it isn't here either.
But I have milk.
And it's so tasty and helpful.
Fortune isn't just anything.
Goodbye.
Fortune...
The donkey really needs fortune.
But where can I find it?
I WENT TO SEARCH FOR FORTUNE.
Who can I ask to help me find fortune?
I don't know who to ask.
Hello. What are you mumbling about?
I am looking for fortune.
Perhaps it's here?
Of course. - May I see it?
There! Have a look.
Are you serious? Those are tadpoles.
Of course and a whole bucket full.
No, fortune is something else.
Goodbye.
Where shall I go?
Hey Donkey, Donkey
Well, did you find happiness?
No.
Listen to me carefully.
By the pine tree where the old forest Lifts its branches up to the sky,
Where the stream gurgles through the ravine,
Where the bear growls in his cave,
Where the tree roots look like monsters,
Where the roads become lost,
That is where you will find your fortune.
May your legs serve you well.
Let's go. Let's go.
There is a meadow over there.
- Don't be afraid.
- We won't hurt you.
Are you our happiness?
No, my name is Masha.
I lost my way.
I'm hungry, cold and I want to go home.
I'll be back in a second.
Now, you'll be warm.
Drink, little girl.
Now, I will take you home. Get on my back.
Oh! That's my home.
Thank you very much.
What a fortune you found me.
What? What did she say?
She said fortune.
Hmm. Happiness.
So what is happiness? Huh?
