A Fairy Tale for Natasha
- I'll tell him: "Little Kuzya, without you the hut's escaped again."
- And he'll say: "Who cares?"
Then I'll say: "If you do not go with me like a good boy, I'll catch and eat you."
And he will say: "You'll choke on it."
- Eh, if I could only see who he has traded us for.
- Nafanya!
- Huh? Huh? Huh?
I sure am Nafanya, already for 40 centuries.
Well, what's the matter this time?
What a huge waste! - Oh! I'll try, you hold this.
Hold it. Hold it!
That's it!
Ah, people don't live like in the old days any more.
No, they don't.
You'll soon be out on the street, living like this.
- Who? Us?! - Who else?
- No way! - Oh, yes... yes way!
Oh, those lazy-bones!
Cock-a-doodle-doo!
- Cock-a-doodle-doo!
- Cock-a-... oh... eh...
Caw! Caw!
- Oh, disaster, disaster. Ruin.
Disaster! Trouble's upon us, mistress - What happened?
- The stocks are insufficient, The losses are considerable.
We'll go bankrupt and live in poverty! - What? Is this a fairy tale?
No, it's real life.
Eight and one - is nine, nine and one - ten.
Ten, and one more... twenty.
So. Well, I think we have dowry enough.
Oh! Oh, what's this? Oh no, patch it immediately!
No way! Mama will buy a new fur coat for me!
And then, dressed in it, you'll go begging from door to door.
Patch it up, I say. - A fairy tale. This is certainly a fairy tale!
- Natasha! Got up already?
Well done, my clever girl. Get dressed now. I'm going to buy bread.
- Ugh! Salt. One and a half pounds.
Bread. Even less then a pound.
- Hmm. Can't be! What stale bread.
- One and one - two, two and one - three.
Three... one. Four. Oh. Om-nom-nom. Four without three - one.
What a disappointing fairy tale. There once lived a very greedy house-elf...
- I'm not greedy, I'm thrifty.
Now... we can hold out until autumn.
Well, what are you waiting for, young lady?
The floor is not swept, and the garbage is not put out yet!
- Little commandant!
You're not even living here for real.
- Me!? ...Not for real?!
It's you guys who're not for real! Your house, your balcony, and wardrobe too!
You guys were never here all my life!
My grandfather and I had a barn here for 7 centuries.
And I do not remember you guys at all.
I can't be not real! I am a real girl!
- Whoever does no work is not for real!
- But I do work!
Whoever only pretends to work is still not for real.
- Mama, mother dear, please tell him!
Ah! - My little gem!
- Who are you visiting?
- My little grandson, Kuzya. - Oh!
You're Kuzya's grandmother? Ah!
Kuzya, Kuzya, Your grandma's come to see you!
Oh! - Well, I am not at home!
- Kuzenka! Ahoy!
- You know, at first Kuzya was my ideal. But all of a sudden...
He probably had a difficult childhood?
He lived in clover!
- He is constantly tallying things up!
Only till ten. - Till twenty!
- Ah!
My precious!!
But I want a real fairy tale!
- Sure, I'll present you with a real fairy tale.
- A frightening one? - We don't know any others.
- Oh!
- There once lived... Baba Yaga.
She was very, very kind.
Isn't she beautiful?
One day she met a little house-elf.
Met him and said:
How have you grown so skinny my little diamond?
And the little house-elf answered:
- Look at yourself!
Do you really want to work for strangers?
We have no strangers here. Everyone here is family.
- Kuzya, don't interrupt!
- Now Baba Yaga became cross with him!
"For treating me like that," she said, "I'll catch, fry and eat you!"
I wouldn't advise that. It's harmful! Fried food is harmful!
- Kuzya, we're here! This way! This way!
Who needs you and your brood?!
My little falcon!
At Baba Yaga's there are always sugar-buns!
Come back, I forgive you everything. - Where's my stale bread?
- I threw it away. - Where?
Into the garbage disposal. - Grandmother! So what happens next?
- Ah! Ah! My dark rye bread!
My sweetie!
- Catch him! Grab him!
- Meow! - I'll be killed!
- Don't be scared, it's not for real! - Nafanya!
- Meow!
- Good afternoon! - Good indeed!
- Came out to meet Mom? Well done, my clever girl.
Well? You've gone and sq-caw-ndered your good fortune!
- Now the fairy tale shall end,
If you have listened, time well spent!
Remember me fondly!
- Ah! Kuzenka!!
- While I'm away, listen to Nafanya...
Kuzya, we will be waiting for you!
- We will be waiting for you!
