Dad, Mum and their son Kolya...
lived in a new house on the edge of the town, near a blue forest.
A New Year's Adventure
All of this happened just before the New Year holidays
Dad had been so busy with his job that he forgot to buy a fir tree.
What can I do?
I forgot to buy a fir tree! - Never mind.
If you forgot, then you forgot. We'll buy one tomorrow.
But the holiday's today, and we have no tree! Shame on me! Shame on me!
Everyone has a tree but we have no tree!
Shameful!
But what can you do? It's too late now!
The fir tree markets are already closed.
Thank God, we live near the forest!
No one will notice one tree more or one tree less!
Stop it! Damaging the green-belt will get you into trouble!
Well, little Misha, just look at our nice tree!
What nice tree?
It's all green!
So what?
What do you mean, "so what?"
Don't you like it?
The forest is full of trees just like it.
"Nice tree"...
It's not even decorated!
Not even with one simple, shabby toy,
let's say, a cardboard rabbit or fish...
What about a real rabbit?
No! I don't want that. Other trees have toys on them!
Hmm... well...
Okay, I'll go...
Potap, what do you have in mind?
I'll be back soon. In the meantime, put on the kettle!
Good evening, boss
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to you too!
But please, be quiet with your hooting. It makes it difficult to sleep!
It's only seems like everyone's far away, but your hooting carries quite a distance!
Hoo... what?
Oehoe!
Are you looking for a fir tree?
Where are you climbing to?!
Have you been practicing gymnastics?
Long ago, when I was in college.
Well, you need a holiday tree?
Why are you asking?
I can help you.
Unofficially. As an acquaintance, so to speak.
But why? Are you a forester?
No, I live here.
I really need tree decorations!
Got it!
Do you need a tree for yourself or for some company?
For my home!
Is the ceiling in your house high or low?
Standard, 2 m 40 cm
Just for you. With a dense set of soft needles
You wait here. I'll grab a taxi!
It would be better
if the taxi-driver doesn't see you right away. He might misunderstand.
Listen friend, give us a lift to the city center - me and my friend.
Something in your friend seems familiar to me
He is a well known film actor. He often appears in movies or on TV.
There was this movie, "Master of the Taiga". Maybe you've seen it?
I don't like to go to the cinema.
He looks like our mechanic.
You wouldn't have worked in the car park on taxi number 7, by any chance.
No, I came out of the woods.
[Toy Store]
Please do us a favour, don't close just yet! Just for one minute please!
We really need tree decorations!
Why didn't you come earlier? If I open for you, I'll need to run home, and I still have to cook!
A shopkeeper is a person, too! I have to hurry home!
How I used to sing, if you only knew... Why did I ever become a shopkeeper?!
What do you want in the middle of the night? The door's closed, so there!
The decorations aren't for him. They're for me. He's just my friend.
A friend, for friendship....
Eh, eh! Happy holidays to you, comrades!
It's good that you came before I left.
You're right, what good is a tree with no decorations?
Happy New Year!
[Cash register]
Oh, how beautiful!
I never get to see anything, sitting in my den.
It's too bad that my wife and son aren't with me.
Indeed, just come back with your wife and son...
Take this carnival mask for your son.
Do I look like a hare?
Heehee, you are the spitting image of a hare!
[Cash register]
It's nice to be a kid!
I had a difficult childhood. Not like kids these days.
These days, it is especially nice to be a child.
You don't happen to work at the zoo?
Of course not.
Do you have anything to do with the circus?
No. I don't have anything to do with the circus
What a pity.
I want my nephew to work in a circus, because he is very lazy
He is lounging God knows where. Doesn't hibernate...
It's quite late, comrades. Time to go home!
Thank you! - Thank you too!
Thank you for your purchase! Thank you for visiting us!
I want to check and see how they look on the tree!
Beautiful!
Let it hang. The holiday has already arrived anyway!
Well, this is my home! The eighth floor.
come visit with your wife and son.
All the best. Happy New Year to you!
Oh! Only 20 minutes are left. You might be too late!
I'll catch the taxi!
Got him!
The car is on its way to the garage.
Nope, the car will go to the woods!
To the garage! Citizen, why do you misbehave?
It's written on your schedule that your working day lasts until 2:00 am
Good evening! Happy New Year!
To you, too!
Let's be serious, not play around
Be kind to all people and animals.
"Be kind", that's what the New Year tells us
Be kind - Joy comes only to those who are kind.
Be kind - let the fires of rejoicing be lit.
Be kind - we beg you, be kind!
Let our world become like a blossoming apple tree.
We need to give the warmth of our soul and our kindness to passers-by!
Be kind - and trouble will pass you by.
Be kind - at the New Year and after, evermore.
Be kind - Hello to a merryful morning!
Be kind - I beg you, please be kind!
Good evening!
Happy New Year!
This is a gift for you.
Happy New Year! Atchoo!
