This is a little joke about devils.
They're not at all like us. They're all topsy-turvy.
For them, the most important thing is to play dirty tricks on someone.
They are taught those at school and at home.
Their moms are topsy-turvy too - if you don't do your schoolwork,
they'll do it for you.
So...
- All freeze!
TOPSY-TURVY
Unfreeze! That's it.
The theme of today's lesson...
is "The Little Mischief".
- When will we do the large? Hee-hee-hee!
- In order to make...
For the large, you are not yet matured enough.
So!
To play a fine little dirty trick on someone
it suffices to say mentally: "Eni-Beni-Raba".
And snap your tail. Like this.
In this matter, you can with great effect
use the most trivial objects.
Anything that's at hand. For example...
For example...
Hm.
Sit.
- Oh oh oh! - Freeze!
- For example, an ordinary pushpin.
Unfreeze! And go to the blackboard.
Divide into two!
So... now... you!
Inflict harm or a bad turn, or a punch - to him.
No. 13, how is a little mischief done?
No. 44!
- To do this it's enough to say mentally to yourself, "Eni-Beni-Raba"
and snap your tail!
- Well, No. 13..?
- I do not know... nothing comes to mind.
- No. 44!
- One doesn't think up the minor mischief while looking at your neighbor,
It comes into your mind on its own!
- Well done! Good job.
Well, will I be waiting a long time?
- Eni-Beni-raba. Eni-Beni-raba!
Oh! Oh...
- What?! No. 44!
Come to the blackboard and show him a truly top-class mischief-maker!
Merge again!
- Eni-Beni-Raba!
- Freeze! Home assignment!
With the help of a little mischief bring your parents to tears.
The tears must be bitter. Tomorrow I'll check.
Unfreeze!
- Eni-Beni-Raba. Eni-Beni-Raba.
Eni-Beni-Raba. Eni-Beni-Raba. Eni-Beni-Raba.
- Well? - What?
- How should I understand this? - It's a school task.
- In botany? - In communication.
We're learning about minor mischiefs.
- Oh, how time flies!
Here you are, old enough to learn about minor mischiefs!
- Mom, we were told to bring our parents to tears
and the tears will be checked.
- Ah, so this is for homework? And these flowers bring tears?
Oh! They are probably poisonous? - Nope.
- Dirty trick you call that... Wow!
Wow!
Quitter! Slacker! Devil knows what you are!
- Mom! But Mom! I'll deliver any mischief to you,
You just tell me which! Mom!
Nothing at all is coming into my mind!
- Again I must do your lessons for you!
Fine, fine. Sit down. Sit down!
Eni! - Oh! Ha-ha-ha!
Well? This kind of hocus-pocus suits you?
So now you say it to me. Come on!
Come on, come on, come on!
You'll see how I will crash down, how I will burst into tears!
- Eni-Beni-Raba! Eni-Beni-Raba! Eni-Beni-Raba!
- Well, I'm crashing down... knock me over!
Wretched D-student!
Did you say "Eni-Beni"? - I did.
- And your tail? - Snapped it.
- So what's going on with you?
Oh, you cunning lad...
- Me?
- I see what you're up to. It's so brilliant that...
smack-smack-smack!
- I did not think of anything!
That's just it.
- Seriously?
Nothing? - What, do you mean...
...the pushpin?
- What pushpin? - The one that people sit on.
- Ah! Charming ...
Oh! An A+!!
Muahaha! Muahahaha!
Here you go: the chair - hoppa! And under it - the button.
I'll cry like a crocodile. - It will not work.
- It will, It will! You're made for... You're made for minor mischief!
Well knock over the stool, Knock it over, I tell you!
Son! - Mama!
Mom, but it will hurt you.
- Exactly, and there will be a whole vial full of tears.
A+, A+, A+, A+! Well?
- Eni-Beni-Raba!
Mom, don't! I'm just no good at it.
Please, do not cry!
- Yes? Well, who else is going to deliver the tears for you?
Here. This is for you...
your homework assignment. Slacker!
- Yep... mm, yep...
Well, let's see what the true story behind these tears is.
Interesting... peculiar!
What will the principal say?
No. 44 -He'll say: "Re-examination in the fall!"
- That's right!
During recess I'll show this to the principal...
You! What are you..?! How could you..?! Oh, the temerity! Oh...
- I just said, "Eni-Beni-Rada"
And mentally snapped my tail.
