- Hi, Hamster! - Hello, Souslik!
- Souslik, are you my friend? - And how!
Do my morning exercise for me, will you?
- OK. - Thanks, friend.
Are you... running?
Go on then, run. Running is good for me.
OK.
- Maybe that's enough? - What, are you tired?
I am.
What?! It's me who's tired.
You are running for me.
- How tired I am! - Maybe that's enough?
What sort of morning exercise is it without swimming?
Let's proceed to swimming.
You have to obey me in everything.
I'm half a year older and therefore - smarter.
Mmhmm.
Swim, swim... until I have swum enough.
Swimming does me good.
Maybe that's enough?
Maybe tha...
Enough!
I did my morning exercise properly today!
Let's proceed...
...to breakfast. Run to the distant field for legumes.
Through the grove?
I'm afraid of the fox.
Don't be afraid! I'll be afraid for you.
If you take a good running start,
you'll shoot right through the grove and won't have time to become afraid.
I'll have enough time!
You, Souslik, need to step back farther to get a better running start.
A good running start is the main thing. The main thing...
Now that's what I call a good running start!
What? Do I have to gather peas instead of Souslik now?
Everything's alright. Just heavy.
Everything's alright. Only the way cannot be seen.
Everything's alright. Only... I'm a fool! A fool!
Why am I carrying such a heavy load so far?
It must be done differently!
Don't make me laugh. I cannot laugh.
Don't make me laugh!
Where... are the legumes?
- You ate them! - Me? I didn't do it alone.
- We did it together. - With whom?
- With you. - How?
Just so. You brought two legumes.
Two. Just the right number for the two of us.
Don't you worry, I didn't stiff you.
I ate the little legume for myself. And I ate the bigger one for you.
It was tasty, right?
Right. Everything seems in order.
I just don't understand one thing - why am I still hungry?
Hm?
Strange.
THE END
