The fox built a house of ice, But the hare built one of bast.
Spring arrived.
Now the streams begin to flow, And the flowers begin to bloom.
Ay-lyuli-lyuli-lyuli, Yes, the flowers begin to bloom!
Leave, Fox, and be on your way! This is my hare's home, I say!
I, Hare, have nowhere to Sleep through the night.
Nowhere to live when The sun's shining bright...
What's the matter? How's your day?
The fox took my house away...
Hmph. What's this I hear?
She took it away...
Hmph. "Took away"...
Took away?
Took away?!
Oh, I'll give her grief today!
Stompy-stomp, my feet take turns. I will pierce you with my horns.
Dump you in mud, Then won't fail...
...To sweep you up with my tail!
For this vixen to outsmart
A mere goat is not that hard!
Hey you, gray one!
How've you been?
Fox chased me away and then Ate the poor goat, bones and skin.
- Ate him? - Ate him...
Amazing!
I'll help you and teach her, bunny, A lesson she won't find funny!
Boom-boom. Boom-boom-boom. Quiet or noisy, I bring doom.
Maybe hay or maybe rye.
Maybe club or...
...maybe knife.
Hey!
You're already back home, balalaika-bunny!
Yes, the fox spotted you coming and left.
Great job, me. Great job, me!
We're such great friends... you and me.
Should I wish to get it done, I will school most anyone!
Hello there, Hare, how goes your day?
The villainous fox took my house away!
I will go and h-h-help you!
Come what may! Come what may!
I doubt it, I doubt it. That fox gets her way;
Even tricked the big bear Into letting her stay!
I know, I know of the fox's sly ways.
I will now grind my spurs. To drive out that fox of yours.
I carry, carry a scythe. Your head right off I'll slice.
Get down from the stove-top, fox!
Wait, I'll come out to you. Let me find my bast shoes.
I carry, carry a scythe. Your head right off I'll slice.
Get down from the stove-top, fox!
I'm off!
With friends, we don't fear troubles - We'll conquer every one!
One sticks up for all others, And all stick up for one.
You can, with good friends 'round you, Win any battlefield.
A faithful friend beside you Will be your solid shield.
The End
