[Post Office]
Oh! It's time!
"Today, the large puppet theater of the Musical district...
...will host a grand puppet concert."
Oh, how interesting!
Who's there?
You've got a letter!
[Zai and Chik]
This letter is for me!
No, it's for both of us.
- No, it's for me! - No, it's for us!
Look, it says here: "for Zai and Chik"
Yeah?
All right, then I'll read, and you'll listen.
Let's read it together.
No. Let's rip it in half and each of us will read his own half.
Well, then you read it.
All right. First, I'll read, and then you'll read.
Read it together.
This is a letter from Petrushka.
- I'm Zai the hare. - And I'm Chik the hare.
We are artists!
It is written that we are invited to the concert.
We'll perform in the concert.
Both of us!
- We'll dance. - Believe us, better than anyone.
Today we're going to perform in a puppet show!
But how do we get to the puppet theatre?
You see... we have just come from the toy factory.
We're new in this store.
It's okay. I'll show you the way.
I know Toy City as well as my own four paws!
Big deal! I can find the way on my own.
[CINEMA]
- You've got a letter. - Thank you!
A little girl wrote to me.
She invites me to visit her.
It's okay. I'll get the ball.
How awful!
You've got a letter.
Perhaps it is from my wife.
Big deal!
I can ride it even better!
Can you? You're bragging!
Here, look!
Where are you going?
See how well I can ride!
Oh!
You cannot play on the street!
It can lead to a serious accident.
I'm sorry. I got carried away.
Where were you?
Well... I was delayed a little bit...
What is that thing?
This is a traffic light. It has three colors.
If it lights up red:
Stop and wait. You cannot cross.
The yellow lights and quickly fades.
Now the light of the "eye" is green!
Not like that! Look: one, two, three, four, five ..
Let's look to the left.
Cars can make a turn from here.
Now we've come to the middle. We look right, and then...
...we go on. - Where is Chik?
96, 97, 98...
Oh! Where is Zai?
Hare with the blue ribbon, go back!
You cannot cross the street when the traffic light is red!
It's an outrage!
It's good that I am tumbler toy!
What is this? You pushed me! I am outraged!
I'm really bristling!
Don't you have any shame?!
I should pull you by the ears!
I'm sorry! I didn't notice you. I didn't mean it...
I forgive you.
But you should keep to the right side from now on.
[Puppet Theater]
Well, there's the theater!
But what about Chik?
Don't worry, other toys will show him the way.
[Information Bureau]
Hello? Hello? Who lives in this house?
Me! Holey-mouse.
How do I get into the puppet theater?
[Permit]
You boor!
This is an outrage!
Aren't you ashamed!
My name is Petrushka! I am a fun toy!
We are beginning an amazing concert!
Soon it will be our turn. But Chik has not yet arrived.
Please call Dr. Aybolit!
How could you be so careless?
It's good that you're a toy. Your leg can be sewn back.
If you weren't...
The next number of our concert: Zai and Chik!
- Zay! - Chik!
Where were you? What happened to you?
All ended in disaster.
I am so sad. I blame myself.
We will have to apologize. Our performance...
...will not take place.
Here's what I'll tell you, my lads!
For this hare, a paw's no big loss.
You can take a thread and needle and it sew back - since he's a toy!
But for people, it's much harder!
And if one of them is hit,
No one could do much to fix them, even Dr. Aybolit!
