- Gold! - Gold!
Who's the girl, then?
She's the Fire-Hopping Girl.
It's known, in our lands,
as a sign that gold is near:
A small, dancing girl.
Around here,
there are a lot of people fighting to get gold.
Sometimes they fight each other, too... or worse!
When gold is about, a person loses themselves.
She really hates that, they say...
Why does she show up, then?
To mess with people.
Or maybe she's looking for someone.
Grandpa. What's that?
- Oh, wow! - Fedya, what're you doing?
Leave it be. Don't even think about it. Watch it, Fedya, or I'll...
Grandpa told me that I shouldn't look at you.
Don't look, then!
You dance well.
I see you have not a care in the world.
And you do.
I sure do.
Well, if that's so, go and handle it, you hard worker, you!
Visit me sometime!
No, grandpa, she's nice.
She was such a good dancer.
Fedya. Hey, Fedya...
These potatoes... are our last.
Spoons for sale, behold! Chiselled, still not sold!
Seven spoons I'll sell to you, And a freebie eighth one, too!
Spoons, completely new! For potatoes I'll trade you!
Ah...
Dear guest.
Why have you come to visit me?
To look at you.
To see how you hide your riches.
I don't hide them at all!
Look!
Fedya,
where are you?
Fedya. My Fedya...
Why don't you help people if you've got all these riches?
They're too greedy.
All of them?
My grandpa and I aren't greedy.
That's while you're poor.
We don't need this.
Um... do you have potatoes?
Oh...
- Potatoes? - We'll pay you back later.
- Take this. - What's this for?
Oh, my goodness...
For digging potatoes!
Don't lose the shovel! It will lead you home!
The fire-girl was messing with you. Oh, that nasty girl!
No, grandpa. She's nice.
Fedya, look.
But this is gold. Wow!
And so, Fedya and his grandpa
got through the winter without slipping into poverty that year.
They would speak of the hopping girl sometimes. Maybe she'd show up again?
But that never did happen.
Later, in the places where the Fire-Hopping Girl had danced
people began to find gold. A gold mine was opened there -
"Hopping Prospects", they named it.
