A Little Oar Based on a Ukrainian fairy tale
Cuckoo!
Peek-a-boo!
Cuckoo!
Kroot! Vert!
Look what I found!
Let's go and thresh it!
Let's do it.
Let's do it...
So who wants to thresh it?
Not me...
Not me.
Yay, we found an oar!
Yay! And we're gonna thresh it!
- We'll thresh it? - We'll thresh it!
We should take it to the mill!
Who's gonna take it there?
Not me!
Not me.
Not me, not me, not me!
So that's how you are.
Never mind.
We are the mice, Kroot and Vert!
And we know how to sing songs!
Roll around and also dance,
And bite tasty biscuits with our teeth!
We can play the leapfrog game,
and line tag, and lapta too!
And we will dance, and we'll sing!
And then we'll start all over again!
White mouse,
white mouse!
You yourself are a white mouse!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, brothers!
Now we'll knead the dough,
And... - And?
And what?
And bake some pies.
- Yay! - Very good.
So who's gonna knead the dough?
Chop the wood?
Heat the stove?
Not me.
Not me, not me, not me!
Right, I can see what's going on.
Uh, no, bros, let's reflect.
Who found the oar?
Not me.
Who threshed it?
Not me...
And who kneaded the dough?
Chopped the wood?
Heated the stove?
Not me...
Not me.
So then who's gonna eat
the pies?
