- Hrm.
A New Year...
Tale
Okay.
- Okay...
"A Winter Tale",
"Oscar Feltsman".
Okay, let's listen to what's on the other side.
- Hey, you! Why are you making a din?
Why are you yelling and spoiling the quiet?
- Oh! It's Monster!
- Monster-Snowster! - It guards the forest.
- That's right! From noise, from din,
and from all sorts of evil I guard it,
and you... and you're... you're being noisy!
Buzz off! Go on! Shoo! Shoo!
There..,
now one can sleep. Heh!
- Hey! O-pa! Oh-oh!
- What's with the yelling? You're not letting me sleep!
Buzz off! Go on! Shoo! Shoo!
SCHOOL
Holiday fir tree, a fine smell of wood,
Let's dress up our tree and make it look good.
And when the holiday hour comes to pass,
May every needle bring wonder to us,
Wonder to us!
In merry children our fir tree delights,
We'll invite guests to share the festive sights.
And when the holiday hour comes to pass,
May every needle bring wonder to us,
Wonder to us!
- All is ready now! It's time to go into the forest for a holiday tree!
- Hurrah! For a holiday tree!
- You'll never manage it!
I'm the strongest!
I'll go into the forest for a holiday tree!
- Who are you?
- I'm Grishka, and who're you?
- I?!
Monster-Snowster!
I guard the forest
from noise, from din, and from all sorts of evil.
- Ha! You don't impress me, Monster!
I am the strongest and I fear nobody!
- Ah! So that's how you want it!
- But where's the tree?
- There's no way to get a tree!
There's a Monster-Snowster living in our forest; it's not letting anyone in!
- Oh no... Oh, it's such a shame to be without a holiday tree...
- I am the bravest!
I fear nobody!
I'll go into the forest and get a holiday tree!
- It's all fairy tales... all this about a Monster!
- Hey! What're you doing, huh? - Oh...
- Who're you? - I?
I'm the bravest!
- And I'm Monster-Snowster, I guard the forest
from noise, from din, and from all sorts of evil!
- Well, keep guarding then! I need a holiday tree!
- Hey.., it's polite to ask first!
- Ha, as if!
- Ah! So that's how you want it!
- It's true! There's a Monster in the forest, it doesn't let anyone in!
- What's it like, this Monster? Is it scary?
- Well, no... - It's some sort of... strange old man.
- Don't despair! I'll go into the forest.
Maybe I'll have better luck.
Holiday fir tree, a fine smell of wood,

And when the holiday hour comes to pass,
May every needle bring wonder to us,

May every needle bring wonder to us,
Wonder to us!
- Hello, girlie! - Hello, Mr. Monster!
- And what are you doing here? - Singing a song.
- Uh... but who are you singing it to, if there's nobody else in the forest?
- To you, Mr. Monster - to congratulate you on the New Year.
- Huh? What? Uh... is the New Year soon?
- Tomorrow.
Come to our school, mister. We'll sing songs to you, and show you toys.
Only... we don't have a holiday tree... - I'll come!
Mm, yes... the forest's gotten a bit dense... it could use some thinning out!
This one will do!
Holiday fir tree, a fine smell of wood,
Let's dress up our tree and make it look good.
And when the holiday hour comes to pass,
May every needle bring wonder to us,
Wonder to us!
- That's not right, mister! - What's not right?
- You're not singing it right. - How should I do it then?
- Like this:
And when the holiday hour comes to pass...
- Ah!
May every needle bring wonder to us, wonder to us!
Our tree will wave one of its branches some,
And, fairy tale-like, the New Year will come.
And when the holiday hour comes to pass,
May every needle bring wonder to us,
Wonder to us!
In merry children our fir tree delights,
We'll invite guests to share the festive sights.
And when the holiday hour comes to pass,
May every needle bring wonder to us,
Wonder to us!
- Thank you, mister! You're so nice and kind!
Come visit us by the holiday tree, yes?
- Thank you.
Sit down...
- A holiday tree! Hurrah!
- Gee!
Nice... kind...
Gee!..
- Hey! H... hey! W-wh... where are you off to?
- To the village! - To see the school's holiday tree!
- Why aren't you asleep?
- Well, we're just hurrying to the village.
We need to show the bear cubs the school's holiday tree.
- I'll go!
Oh!
- Mister!
- Hurrah! Look at who's come!
- And now we'll give out the presents.
Mister, where are you going?
Come on! Come on!
Since then, Snowster-Monster lives in the school gatehouse.
Come winter, he builds slides for the kids, and prepares skating rinks.
And come summer, he tells about the forest and reads books.
