When Little Bear Wakes Up
This is me, Long Ears.
This is me walking in my grey coat.
I used to have a white one, because it was winter here.
But then it ended.
Now I can't be seen, because I've hidden myself.
Little Fox asked: "What are you doing here?"
I said: "I'm hiding here."
She asked: "Then why can I see you?"
I said: "Because I'm not hiding from you, but from him who's over there."
Little Fox said: "Then I will also hide from him."
I said: "Shh."
Little Fox asked: "Why didn't he find us?"
I said: "We probably didn't hide very well."
Little Fox said: "No! We hid well."
We were indignant. We yelled: "How could you not find us, how?!"
He said: "I'm not playing hide-and-seek."
I... I said... oh.
I said: "Let's play ball."
Little Wolf said: "There's no ball."
I said: "There is, there is a ball! I'll be the ball. Me!"
And we began to play ball. We played, and played, and played!
I thought that I'm probably a very good ball.
Because if I fly into the bushes, nobody has to get me.
I'll come back myself.
Then suddenly I was sitting on a seesaw, and we began to seesaw.
Little Fox and Little Wolf seesawed, and... and I...
I... I didn't seesaw for some reason, not very much.
I just slid up and down.
Little Wolf said: "Get down, you will seesaw when it's your turn!"
I asked: "When will it be my turn?"
Little Fox said: "When we have seesawed enough, and climb off."
I asked: "When will you climb off?"
Little Wolf said: "Not at all soon."
I asked: "Who will I seesaw with?"
Little Fox said: "With me."
Little Wolf said: "No, with me!"
I said: "Don't argue,
I will seesaw with Little Bear."
And I went to visit Little Bear.
But Little Bear...
Little Bear lived on the other side of a lake.
It was a big lake, and I had to go around it.
Taking a walk next to it were ducklings who could swim, and a hen who couldn't.
I thought that the hen was their mother.
But they said: "She's out auntie."
The ducklings said: "Auntie, let us teach you how to swim."
Their aunt said: "Eggs can't teach a hen!"
The ducklings said: "We're no longer eggs! We've pecked ourselves free...
...from our egg age."
They said: "Auntie, dive!"
The hen said: "First of all, it is not proper to dive at my age,
and second of all, I'll drown!"
The little frogs said: "Drown, and we'll save you!"
The hen said: "Thank you, but there's no need."
The little frogs asked: "Why not?"
The hen said: "Because the water is cold."
Then the ducklings and little frogs looked at me, and said:
"Let's teach this long-eared one how to swim!"
Then I and auntie Hen took off running!
� �������� � ������� ��������: "� ��� ����������?" Little Wolf and Little Fox asked: "Where is Little Bear?"
I said: "He probably hasn't woken up yet."
Little Wolf yelled: "Let's go wake him!"
So we went.
Little Bear was sleeping in his den.
And his mother also slept there.
His mother slept like this:
And Little Bear slept like this:
Little Fox sad: "Let's wake him up!"
Little Wolf said: "I'll be an alarm clock, because I'm the loudest."
I said: "I'm loud too."
Little Fox said: "I'm not quiet, either."
We were waking him, waking him, waking him,
...waking him. We were waking him very loudly!
But he didn't awaken.
His mother did.
She asked: "What's going on here?"
We said: "It's us."
She asked: "What do you want?"
We said: "We want Little Bear."
She said: "I'll show you Little Bear!"
Little Fox said: "We're not interested in seeing him,
we're interested in playing with him."
Little Bear's mom asked: "Why are you making noise?"
We said: "Because we're alarm clocks!"
And here Little Bear woke up a little and said:
"Alarm clocks have these buttons,
you just need to hit them, and then it will be quiet."
His mom then looked at us, and said:
"Never mind, I can make do without any buttons!
I think I'll hit a certain other spot in these ones."
Now Little Bear woke up even more, and yelled:
"Guys, I'm coming!"
But his mom caught him.
She said: "Do you see what you've done?!
You woke him up!
What's to be done now, hmm? What?"
Little Wolf said... He said: "This is awful.
Don't you worry, we'll make him go to sleep again.
We're going to sing him a lullaby."
And we began to sing.
Little Bear also began to sing.
His mom asked him: "Why are you singing and not sleeping?"
He said: "I'm helping them."
Then Little Bear's mom said:
"Go and sing your lullaby somewhere far away,
so Little Bear will go to sleep."
But Little Bear didn't go to sleep.
He was singing, and we could hear him.
Little Fox said: "We'll seesaw for a while,
and you should go walk around meanwhile, until Little Bear wakes up.
So I walked around meanwhile.
Then I walked around some more meanwhile.
And walked around some more meanwhile,
and then I saw him.
He was walking, and kept sniffing.
I asked: "What are you looking for?"
He said: "A track."
I asked: "It was yours, and you lost it, yes?"
He said: "No, I'm seeking someone else's track."
I asked: "But why?"
He said: "It's necessary."
I said: "Take mine."
He said: "Thank you, but yours will not do."
I asked: "Why?"
He said: "It's very little."
And he also said: "Do you know who I am?"
I asked: "Who?"
He said: "A hunting dog."
I thought...
I thought: "Oh."
He said: "Don't worry, though I'm a hunting dog, I have no hunter."
Would you like to be my hunter?"
I said: "I can't, because Bear Cub has probably woken up already."
He said: "Too bad."
Little Bear was still asleep.
Then suddenly he woke up
and yelled: "Long Ears! Hello!"
But his mom got angry. I asked:
"Why do you want your bear cub to always be sleeping?"
His mom said: "We're having our winter hibernation!"
I said: "It's spring already. Winter has ended."
Little Bear's mom looked around, and said:
"Disaster! By the time one has gotten this cub off to sleep, spring is here!"
We ran off, and I said:
"Little Bear, it's probably already our turn to use the seesaw."
Little Bear said: "Then let's run even faster!"
And we ran even faster
and got where we were going.
Little Fox and Little Wolf said: "Hurrah! Little Bear woke up!"
Little Bear said: "Yes, I woke up."
I asked: "Whose turn is it to seesaw?"
Little Fox said: "Yours!"
But we couldn't really seesaw for some reason.
Little Bear said:
"Long Ears is very light, we need to add someone to him."
Little Wolf said: "Let's add me."
Little Fox said: "I'll also add myself."
And when she added herself, we began to seesaw!
I said:
"This is probably a special seesaw on which you can't take turns seesawing,
but only do it all together."
Little Bear said: "Long Ears, you're right!"
