We live in Russia.
The State Emblem of Russia...
...is the golden double-headed eagle.
At his chest is the St. George.
He defeats the evil dragon with a silver spear.
The Russian flag has three colors.
White is the color of peace and purity,
...blue is the color of the sky and hope,
...red is the color of glory and bravery.
The capital of our motherland is Moscow.
Our country is spread in Europe and in Asia.
These two parts of the world...
...are separated by the old Ural mountains.
Exactly in the southern part...
...of these mountains live Bashkirs.
This area is incredibly rich of birds,
...river fish and animals.
It is not an accident,
...that the emblem of Bashkiria's capital, Ufa,
...has a marten on it.
Many years ago there lived a lot...
...of other amazing animals as well.
Ancient people drew mammoths...
and even rhinoceros at the walls...
...of the cage of the Shulgan-Tash mountain.
Bashkirs are excellent riders, experienced livestock breeders,
and especially skilled beekeepers.
Bashkir honey is the most delicious in the world.
Probably, there are the best bees.
These places are also famous for its gem stones,
...especially jasper.
And of course, wonderful folk fairy tales...
...are kept and told here.
Each of them is like a beautiful gem stone.
«Orphan Fox»
Once on a rainy night...
...when it's not fit for man or beast.
- Hey! Who's here?!
- What a weather! In one word...
- Heavy shower!
- Yes! But that's not all! After the winter comes...
...it will be hopeless!
- Why don't we stay together?...
...For example, me and the Hare...
...we're together for 200 years!
- As thick as thieves!
- And when we are three...
- Three, er...
- It's easier to winter!
- Yes! Winter! We should build a house.
- Yes we should, but we...
- Can't!
That's how they met.
- Yes! It's not going to stop raining...
...before the rooster crows.
- Wow! You!
- Oh, you!
- Oh?! Where am I?!
- In the forest! Where else!
- You, how...
- ...did you get here?
- I'm traveling! Going to the south.
...I've definitely had enough of living by my owner!
- You know, he was going to cook a rooster soup!
- And I always hiccup because of this soup!
- So, spend the winter with us!
- Maybe you know how to... - Build a house?!
- A house?! There's nothing easier. It's a snap!
So they started to live together...
and to prepare for the winter.
The Bear started to keep bees.
He made hives to drink tea with honey in winter.
The Wolf goes fishing on the river.
Then he dries the fish.
- I'm pulling!!!
- Pull! Pull! It bites!
- Holy Mother!
And what about the rooster?
The rooster watches over the vegetable garden!
- Well, comrades, we should buy a cow.
- Yes! That will be good! Milk...
- Butter...
- Meat!
- I have an idea! We will make butter from milk.
- So that we have something to eat in winter!
- Yes!
And they decided to buy a cow.
- Hey, Hare, don't be sad!
Meanwhile the Hare looked after the house.
- I've choked. Wow?!
So they sold the honey harvest and 28 bees as well...
and bought a cow!
Every morning the Wolf...
and the Hare went to pasture the cow.
They made cream out of milk and whipped butter.
- No, no, no...
- U-uh! That's butter, comrades...
...we'd better keep it in our attic.
- No one is allowed to touch! No one!!!
- In winter we will take little by little and fry,
...fry potatoes with it.
- May we just ...? - Try?!
- We will try it, when the winter comes!
- Till that time -- not a small piece!
...Don't even ask!
- Yes! Of course! Order must be!
By the end of the autumn...
...they already had the full can.
- Hello, dear friends! Good evening!
- Where are you...? - Going? Eh?
- I am an orphan fox! I am so alone.
- I have nowhere to go! Everything I have is a jug!
- And it is empty and holed.
- Let me, please, stay with you.
- Yes! It's bad to live alone!
- Definitely! The Hare and me, for example,
...we are together for 200 years!
- As thick as thieves!
- U-uh! So, well, stay with us.
...Of course, a collective is a great power, comrades!
So the Fox started to live together with them.
She behaved very diligently and friendly.
Trying to satisfy everybody.
(singing a lullaby) - There will come...
...a little grey wolf and will bite you to flank.
- Why is it always a little wolf!
- Yes! It is snowing!
- Oh! Maybe... - ...it's time to?!
- Take our butter from the attic?
- We definitely shouldn't hurry!
- It is not winter yet! It is still early!
- And tomorrow? May we do it tomorrow?!
- When tomorrow comes, we'll see...
So the Fox learned about the butter!
- Butter! Heh! Here you are!
- Hey! Is the Orphan-Fox at home?
- Yes, she is! She... - ...will be just back!
- Tell her she has to go to the badgers' name day...
...to find a name for a baby!
- Of course we will! Without fail!
- Fox, you were invited...
...to find a name for a baby badger.
- Ah! So, what! I must go!
- Here you are, the name day!
...Here you are, the butter!
The Fox found a big dry hollow...
and hid the butter there.
- So, what did they... - ...treat you with?!
- Fried fish, pies with filling...
and melted butter!
- And what a name... - ...did you give to the baby badger?!
- Byshbala.
The next day the fox said.
- I was invited to a name day again.
- So, what a name this time?!
- Kurtansy.
And on the third day the fox...
...took the rest of the butter.
- So, how did you call a baby today?!
- Kin'zja.
Finally the real winter came!
- So, maybe the time has come...
...to eat our butter! Eh?!
- It's, er... - ...high time!!!
- Now it is time!
- Hey, Fox, go bring the butter from the attic!
- Eh?! Who?! Me?! Ah! Okay!
The Fox started to dodge.
- Oh! I have never climbed so high!
- Oh! Oh, it's so hard,
...I can't get there! My legs are weak!
- I could fall!
- Oh! There's no butter!
- Where is our butter!
- There's only an empty can!
- Comrades, where is the butter?! Where is the butter?! It is a...
...nonsense! It is a paradox!
- That's a pity!
- How I... - ...loved it!
- We must immediately find a thief...
and punish him!
- Yes! Find and punish! Immediately!
- Yes, find! But how?
- Let's make a big fire...
and take our places around it.
...That one who ate the butter,
...will have it coming out on his belly because of the heat!
- Coming out?! On the belly?! Heh! It's so easy!
- Wake up! Wake up!
- Comrades! Look!
- What?! Now what?!
- So, it turns out that... - ...you've gobbled it!!!
- Look! Here's who ate our butter!
- How, eh...? Ah?! Such a trouble!
...I didn't eat our... your butter!
- Didn't you?! But what's that?!
...Here is our butter!
- I didn't eat the butter! Believe me, my friends!
- Something's wrong here!
- Yep! We should check it... - Once more!
- There's no need to check! It is obvious!
...There's no need to check!
- We must always check everything! Of course!
...Everybody to the fire!
- I didn't eat! I didn't eat our... your butter!
- A-ha!
- How is it possible?! I think, I didn't eat?!
- You see, I told you! That's who ate our butter!
- How is it possible, eh?!
- Tomorrow you must leave our house!
- We don't want any thieves here.
- Why?! I didn't eat it! I am a stranger...
...among my own friends!
- Hush!
- Let's go!
- Hush!
- So!...
- Really?
Archi...!
Wow!... I will...!
- No, no, no, no...!
- Oh, so! Heh-heh!
- Of course!
- Go away from our house! Come on! Go away!
...Away from here! Away from here!
- How do you like that! He has stolen our butter!
- Well, I'm going to remove the snow!
- And we will... - ...chop some firewood!
- Where? Where is it?! Eh!? But it was here!...
...My butter!
- Oh! Ouch!
- Come on!
...Sting her.
- That's what she deserves!
- So...! - Right!...
- A thief!
So they punished the tricky and greedy Fox!
