One day, Bear decided to make himself a cart...
What a fool!
All the wheels in your cart are of different sizes!
Yeah... I suppose the wheels should be rearranged.
You, Bear, need your head and paws rearranged!
Oh!
Ah, may you rot, stupid cart, and all four wheels!
Hold it!
Look!
Croak! What of it?
It's an empty cart, that's all!
Empty it may be, but it's unusual!
All its wheels are different!
Wow, what a g-g-great, big wheel this is!
And mine here is... smaller!
And mine here is smaller yet!
And how about yours, Fly?
And mine here is... a teeny-tiny wheel!
What are you doing here, my dears?
Hmm... well, see here, we've found something unusual.
It seems to be a cart, but all the wheels are different.
Is it yours, then?
Ha ha! Don't be silly!
It's the Bear's cart.
He worked and worked, didn't finish it and dumped it! So here it lies!
Yeah... I guess the Bear's cart didn't work out!
Clearly he had neither the skill nor the patience for it.
But those wheels... those wheels... let's take them home with us!
They'll come in handy around the house.
Is it far, your house?
On the field a tree stump stands, On the stump a small hut sits.
That's our home!
Hello, Mihail Ivanovich!
Don't you need your cart at all?
What cart?
You left a cart in the woods.
Ah... well, so I did.
What of it?
So listen, the wheels on your cart...
those wheels from your cart have been taken!
- Taken? - Taken and rolled away.
- Rolled away, you say? - I wouldn't have left it like that!
Who ever heard of someone laboring hard on a thing,
and then others taking it for free!
Go, Mihail Ivanovich, and demand your wheels back!
Who took them? Who dared?
Where are my wheels?
I know! I know!
On the field a tree stump stands, On the stump a small hut sits.
There you'll find your wheels.
Where are my wheels?
Where are they hidden? You robbers, give them back!
Or I'll squash everything here!
Hey now, Mihail Ivanovich!
Nobody is hiding anything!
Here is one of your wheels!
Well... fine, but where's the second one, the one that's bigger?
Have a look over there!
Hedgehog has fitted it to the wheelbarrow.
Wow!
But where's... the third, the in-between sized?
Look to your left!
There's your third wheel. Frog has attached it to the well.
Would you look at that!
And... the great big one, where is that?
Rooster's lowered it into the water and built a mill with it.
Ah, you robbers!
You've put all my no-good wheels to good use!
Well, so be it!
You may keep them!
Thank you so much for the gift, Mihail Ivanovich!
I'm sorry!
I got carried away!
But now I see that in the right hands
even my no-good wheels can come in handy!
Don't say that, Mihail Ivanovich;
your wheels have turned out to be very good indeed!
You've made me happy, all of you!
And I thought that I couldn't make anything.
I will go now and make more differently sized wheels!
For all tastes, for all needs!

Who ever heard of such a thing?
One person labors hard,
and then others take it for free!
It is proper and good that one can work
and have it benefit others!
Now shoo, go away!
Not so harsh! Not so harsh!
