COULD THIS MOVIE BE ABOUT YOU? After a poem by M. Romanov
directed by Valeriy Ugarov, art director Sofia Mitrofanova, music Vladimir Martynov, vocals L. Katayeva
Morning has come, and everyone Is eager to start working.
And I am very nearly done With putting on one stocking.
I'll don the second later on - I'd rather draw this house and lawn,
Porch, fence, path - just like that, And on the path a cat.
Right here is where the cat's tail goes, Here are its eyes, and here's the nose,
But I'll not draw the house just yet, I'll go and tidy up the bed.
I'll put the pillow on the mat... But what do I do after?
No, no, I've got everything planned: I'll get the kitchen basin, and...
Wash my dolls in the bathtub. Wash my dolls in the bathtub.
There's water in the basin now.
Hey, dolls, take off your dresses!
There's water in the basin now. Hey, dolls, take off your dresses!
A broom is leaning by the door - I'll sweep up any messes.
Beneath the cupboard goes this bunch, I'll quickly go cook up some lunch.
Cook up some lunch.
I'll grind some pasta, then I'll grate A candle. Well, who wouldn't?
Mix it with water, add some salt, And in the oven put it...
No need to hurry with the food, With needle, I'll sew something good.
String through the eye, should be a snap, But the needle keeps jerking...
I'll go lie down and have a nap - I'm pretty tired from working.
I've had to do all this myself - Someone must help my mother...
I think, when she comes home herself, With kisses I'll be smothered!
A little song riddle: WHO IS GRAZING IN THE MEADOW? A. Pakhmutova, Galina Barinova, Yu. Chernykh
Far, far away in the meadow graze...
Horses?
No, not horses.
Far, far away in the meadow graze...
Goats?
No, not goats.
Far, far away in the meadow graze...
Ah, cows!
That's right, it is cows!
Drink milk, children; it will make you healthy!
Drink milk, children; it will make you healthy.
Moo.
THE MIRACLE After a poem by Roman Sef
director & art director Anatoliy Petrov artist Ada Nikolskaya music Shandor Kallosh
Have you not yet seen the miracle?
Have you never seen the miracle?
What a shame to have never seen the miracle!
Come along and see it, then.
What you'll see will be a real miracle,
A marvelous miracle:
Where the "Utensils" store is,
near house #3:
Through the asphalt at the crossing
a little birch is breaking through!
TALL TALES FACE TO FACE

(there is a lot of Russian wordplay and rhyming in this animation...
...that is very difficult to translate)
Hello, Nikodim!
Hello, Yegor!
Where have you come from?
From the Yonder Mountains.
And how do people live there, Yegor?
They pull on axes onto their bare feet,
Scythe the hay with a boot,
And carry water in a sieve.
Our sleighs Ride by themselves,
And our horses have whiskers, And seek mice out in basements.
- But that's cats! - Have a mosquito in a basket!
Our cats live in a nest, And fly everywhere.
They fly into the yard, And start chattering: "caw, caw!"
- But that's crows! - Have a cooked fly agaric!
The crow in our parts has long ears, And often visits gardens.
It goes skippity-skip across a bridge, And its white spot is the tail.
- But that's a hare! - Have a barrel of cucumbers!
The hare in our parts Frightens all the beasts.
Last winter during a bitter cold, A huge grey hare carried off a ram.
- But that's a wolf! - Have a finger-snap to your forehead!
Haven't you ever heard That our wolves are horned?
The wolf will shake its beard And lunch on a saltbush.
- But that's a goat! - Have a thousand finger-snaps!
The goat in our parts Will go hide under a root,
It'll gently move its tail, And will not abide our nets.
- But that's a burbot! - No, it's not a burbot.
That is not how we speak of the burbot.
The burbot, Nikodim, Is proud of himself,
The burbot Nikodim Wears a sable hat,
Does not bow it before anyone,
And does not... understand jokes, either.
