The Adventures of Munchausen
- The papers say that Baron Munchausen always tells lies.
What nonsense!
I always tell only the truest of lies.
Am I right, Matilda?
Right!
Today, my dear friends,
I will tell you of a little adventure
that happened to me in Russia.
A Wolf in a Harness
I left my house, heading to Saint Petersburg
at evening time, just before dawn, in the middle of winter.
Everything was going great, until I got to...
Russia.
As it turned out, it's quite uncomfortable to ride a horse at winter.
Much better to travel by sled!
Sprechen Sie deutsch?
- What?
- Was ist das?
- What grass?
- I bought myself a very good sled,
and happily rushed off to Saint Petersburg.
- Auf Wiedersehen!
- Proshchevayte! (Goodbye!)
To the capital I'm riding,
Where the Russian queen's residing,
To convey into her hands
Royal greetings from far lands...
Royal greetings from far lands!
Oh, this Russia! What a land!
Not one path and not one road!
Snow wherever you may stand,
Better run, ill tidings bode!
Let frost crackle all about,
In my coat I'll keep my snout!
Get my horse to up the pace,
And I'm gone without a trace! And I'm gone without a trace!
Oh, this Russia! What a land!
Not one path and not one road!
Snow wherever you may stand,
Better run, ill tidings bode!
Saint Petersburg
Take aim...
Fire!
Missed it...
That's it, all is lost!
- Look at that, a wolf in a harness!
- Voila!
Yeah...
So!...
I gifted the wolf's skin to the Russian queen,
so that Her Majesty would have something to wear in winter.
Am I right, Matilda?
This is what it means to not be discouraged in the face of any perils!
