The correspondent of "The Blah-Dee-Dah Digest"
reports that BOA Street is extremely concerned
about the critical situation among hares.
Wedding season will soon be here,
but what is a poor hare to do
if his hide is coming apart at the seams?
Can't do a thing about it...
I'll go out to woo my girl just as I am.
Toti!
Oh, Toti!
But you... you're all in rags, Toti!
- It does not matter, Moomie. - No!
Oh, Moomie! Beneath this hide beats a hare's warm heart!
Get married to such a vagabond? Never!
Then why live? Farewell, Moomie!
Wolves. This is how my misery can end!
Eat! Eat me!
- Who is this? - Me! A hare. Eat me!
- We are full. Go in peace. - No, you should eat me, eat me!
If we get hungry, we'll eat you. But for now, stop making all this noise!
Okay, I'll wait.
Special edition of "The Blah-Dee-Dah Digest"
Mr. Boa from Boa Street has decided to give the hares an aid program!
Under the plan of Mr. Boa, each hare will receive seven new hides!
Seven new hides! Toti!
Toti. Toti. Toti!
- Moomie? - "The Blah-Dee-Dah Digest"
"Seven new hides!"... Run!
Mr Boa... each hare will be issued... ...seven new hides!
- What's going on? - I'm off to live a new life! I'm off!
- Wait! Come on! - Wait! Hold it! Stop!
AID PROGRAM
"To every hare - a carrot stew!" "7 new hides!" "Smoke cigarettes!"
Hands up! State your identities!
- We are wolves, sir. - We are your friends.
We need to eat this hare, sir.
- You will not eat this hare! - But why, sir?
I decided to give the hares an aid program. Sit down.
Not there! In the back!
- Sit down. - Yes, sir!
7 new hides according to the plan of Mr. Boa
AID PROGRAM
What do you want, my friend?
Seven new hides!
So, peel off his current hide.
Yes, sir! We'll fleece him and eat him with pleasure!
Fleece him, but keep him alive.
Oh, no sir!
- We're wolves, sir! - We need to eat.
Fleece him seven times over, but keep him alive!
Yes, sir...
Oh, Mr. Boa, I'd rather do it myself.
Remove the next layer!
And the next!
Oh, Mr. Boa, I do not need more help!
- Issue him a new hide. - Yes, sir!
Yes sir!
Go in peace, and tell your brothers and sisters
that six more hides are being sewn for you by the best tailors of Boa Street.
Let all come to me for help!
Why did you let him go, sir?
Our business does not lie in eating one skinny hare.
- What is our business then, sir? - Our business? You will see!
Brothers and sisters! Our good uncle, Mr. Boa...
will give each of us seven new hides!
Fathers and mothers! Under the plan of Mr. Boa,
each hare will receive free carrot stew!
- But what about the wolves? - The wolves?
The wolves aren't wolves any more. Mr. Boa inspired them to become virtuous.
Enter! Do not hesitate!
But why are you leaving? - Our own skin is satisfying enough.
But how can you live without this aid plan?
Well, we'll manage somehow.
Poor hedgehogs... Next!
The best tailors of Boa Street will sew for each of us seven new hides!
Sir! All the hares have been fleeced.
Pack the hides and announce to the hares that the issue of hides is canceled.
Yes, sir!
According to our correspondent,
Mr. Boa explained that the issue of hides to the hares is canceled entirely.
...But to prevent the hares from freezing in the winter,
seven shiploads of cigarettes are to be issued to them...
So much for the "good uncle" Mr. Boa and his seven new hides.
But Toti was given a new hide.
I am afraid that he won't be in it for much longer.
Why?
Go ask Mr. Boa that.
[Hides]
- Moomie? - Toti, I was not given a new hide...
- Why didn't you get one?
- I do not know, Toti. No one was given one.
This... this must be a misunderstanding. Moomie, let's go to Mr. Boa...
He will give new hides to all. You'll see.
Sir, I am extremely embarrassed that I'm in a luxurious hide...
while my fiancee and all the others have nothing.
This inequality must be resolved.
Thank you, Mr. Boa. Thank you.
- Remove his hide! - Yes sir!
- Can we slaughter them now, sir? - Allow us to eat these tramps, already.
- All right. It is possible now.
Now this is real business! Heh-heh-heh.
Toti! Moomie! Here! To us!
According to our correspondent, the plan of Mr. Boa
is for the most holy Serpent IX to send a new prayer to all in the forest...
...for the hares to grow their new hides more quickly.
Enough! We do not need such help!
We do not need such prayers!
We will live without Boa!
Should have done that earlier - it would have saved your hides.
