Do you know how to build a good den?
I will teach you. It will come in handy.
You need to dig out a hole with your claws
and lie down in it comfortably.
Snow will densely cover you,
and when a snowdrift covers you,
begin to toss and turn.
Then stand up, arch your back,
lift up the ceiling.
You will have a den. It will be warm, just like ours.
- I won't suffocate? - No.
Your warm breath will cause an air-hole to appear in the snow.
That sounds good.
But now it's time to sleep, Umka.
Tell me about the fish.
In a far away sea that is warm and has no ice...
There is a sad fish - Sun...
It's big and round and swims only straight...
... and it can't escape the teeth of the sharks.
That's why it's so sad.
Was our sun also eaten by the shark?
No. The sun is not a fish. It swims above.
Ah... in the Upper sea?
Go to sleep. When you wake up the sun will be shining.
The long night is drifting in, mixing up snow with its spoon
Why are you not asleep, silly?
Your neighbours - the white bears are long since asleep.
Go to sleep my sweetness.
What is that?
People.
Who are these "people"?
People are a kind of bear
that always walk on their hind paws
and can take off their skin.
I want to as well. I want to as well.
They smell of smoke.
Best you go and catch some fish now.
Salty.
There are no fish here.
Umka. Umka. Umka. Umka. Umka.
Umka, did you catch any?
There are no fish here!
Turn around.
- Cover your nose with your paw. - What for?
It gives you away.
You are all white but your nose is black.
Cover it with your paw.
What about those bears that walk on their hind paws
and take off their skins?
Do they cover their noses with their paws too?
What are you doing? Why are you smelling me?!
My mum told me
that you smell of smoke
but you smell of milk.
... and you don't have a tail,
maybe it will grow.
Silly.
Strange... he has two heads.
Oh, it's you. Hello.
You have two heads...
but I have only one.
This is not a head. This is a hat.
The head is this.
Why there are no hairs on your nose?
This I don't know.
- And you don't have claws? - Nah.
- Want to go to the sea? - Yes, let's go.
Dive in, we'll swim around.
No way, the water is cold.
I'm hot.
Aah, I thought you had drowned.
Bears can't drown.
Umka.
It's my mum. Hope I won't get told off.
What should we do?
Lie down on the snow
and cover your nose with your paw.
It smells of smoke...
- I see fish.
- Where? - Over there.
- Where? - There.
Where?
Further, further. In that ice-hole.
Where are you?
Where did you go?
Where are you?
Do two-pawed bears swim on ice-floes?
Yes.
But only the bravest of them.
We need to hurry on our way.
Alright, let's swim.
Won't I be eaten by a shark?
But you are not the sad Sun-fish.
You are a white bear.
Let's go Umka!
We swim on an ice-floe like on a ship
through grey-haired rough seas.
All night long our neighbours - the starry bears
are shining for far-away ships.
The Great Bear...
...and Umka.
Umka!
The End.
