Spring
Spring. The sun's come out to play!
Ugh!
- Hear that, neighbor? - I heard, neighbor, I'm not deaf.
Oh, how loudly they yell.
As if a nightingale has flown in, or a frog.
Excuse me, could you croak more quietly?
Oh, what's that on your head, huh?
A bunting nest.
She's raising nestlings. It's best to not disturb her.
This is unfair.
Unfair!
What? Where? When is it unfair?
Unfair. And you're all unscrupulous.
I am a decent bird.
Nobody has ever yet blamed me of being being unjust.
Hey, let me through! I am also decent.
- No, me. - Me. - No, me.
- I'm also decent. - Let go!
What's the matter? What's the public excited about?
It is clear that something is happening, but it is not clear what.
Unfair. Unfair.
What is unfair?
What is unfair? What is unfair?
What is so unfair?
What?
Unfair. Unfair.
What is unfair?
Hush, do not be so noisy.
You'll frighten the future nestlings.
What is unfair?
Well, it's unfair that everyone has housing, but I do not. That's what.
That's improper.
I am outraged and indignant at that.
And I, maybe, am more indignant than you.
You cannot be more indignant than me.
- No, I can be more indignant. - You cannot. - I can.
- You cannot. - No, I can, I can.
Poor frog.
It is clear that something is happening, but it is not clear what.
I will do something about this.
I entrust the mouse to help the frog to build a house.
And you, titmouse, keep an eye on things. Everyone to their places!
- The house is ready. - May you live there in good health!
What a nice house! So bouncy.
Oh, I can't bear it! Oh, it tickles!
So you're the one who tickled my heels.
A frog. Frog, I'll eat you.
It's not fair. Not fair!
Unfair...
It's not fair that you ate my frog.
Unfair, unfair!
Well indeed, that was clumsy what happened.
I do not need what belongs to someone else. Take it.
Well, now I'll eat you.
Oh, oh! It's not fair.
Not only did you break my house, but you want to eat me, too!
Poor frog.
Your birds are simply beastly! They want to eat a homeless frog!
Everything is plain, but absolutely nothing is clear.
Goose, what is she grumbling about?
She says that the frog had built its house on her feet, and it tickled.
And doesn't it tickle me... to dangle here?!
The heron proposes to eat the frog
- then no problems will remain. - That's fair.
- Who's in favor, eh?
I'm against!
First give me a house, and then you can eat me!
Fair.
I take this matter upon myself. Bear, give the frog a house.
We should all think it over.
The frog wants a house.
The heron wants the frog.
The house is more important.
Let's all bring our homes and let him choose.
- Me first. - That is yet to be decided. Maybe I'll be the first.
- No, me. - No, me.
- I'll also bring my house. - And I!
Too roomy.
Too dark.
Too crowded.
Too light.
He drowned!
Ah, this is good.
Wet.
Not like in your stupid houses.
I understand, I understand.
That's the kind of house a frog needs - a pond.
Here.
- Are you happy? - Yes.
- Happy? - Yes.
- You have a house now? - Yes.
Come on then, I'm going to eat you now.
The heron says her appetite's gone.
Run along now. We have work to do. Summer starts soon.
Hey, all of you, look at me.
I've outplayed you all and got myself a home! - Hush!
Hush!
The bunting chicks are hatching -
that's what matters!
