"Novice"
Novice
Quack, quack, quack!
Who are you?
Me? I am a tractor.
But we do not know you.
I am a novice here.
Quack, quack, quack.
So big!
And hard.
Come swim with us!
Don't be a coward! Swim here!
I'm sinking...
How is it that you're so big but cannot swim!
Shame on you! Shame on you!
Well, maybe it is not good for me to swim.
I... I am made of iron.
Oooh... Quack, quack, quack.
Sir, would you like to pass through?
I want to butt heads!
And what does that mean?
Oh, you don't know?
I... I don't know how to "butt heads" like that...
So what is it that you know how to do?
I...
Where are you hurrying, you iron chest?
You are mistaken, I am not a chest.
I am a tractor.
Listen, tractor! Could you guard the house for me?
I'll run to my pal, Bobik. I need to talk to him.
Oh, but I don't know how to guard houses...
I am a tractor.
Nonsense! Just do what I do!
Gasoline
Where are you hurrying?
I am going away.
So, did you learn how to guard a house?
No. But I hadn't even tried to learn that.
So, were you idling all summer long?
No, why? I was tilling, and sowing.
So you are leaving for good?
Why for good? I'll be back when everything is grown.
Hm... tilling, sowing...
I'll go and have a look.
Quack, quack! So all of this was done by a novice?
But he said that he didn't know how to do anything...
