THE GOLDEN LINDEN
Ahoy!
Monkey!
Parrot!
Where are you? Ahoy!
It's time to ride!
The baby whale is waiting for us!
Where are you?
I'm here.
Oh! What are you doing here?
S-s-shivering.
I-it's f-freezing.
Freezing?
No way!
I was hot.
I climbed a mountain.
And there was snow there.
So delicious.
I ate and ate.
And...
...now...
...probably...
I'll die...
Wait, I won't be a moment...
Here...
That's it...
What should I do?
Give her some warm milk.
Make sure she doesn't run away.
Uh-huh.
Well, is this better?
I guess I...
Don't be afraid, I was dying too.
I... caught a cold...
long, long ago.
I was still small.
My grandmother brewed me tea from golden flowers...
Mm...
From a linden!
It's a type of tree.
Where? Where is it?
- What? - The linden tree!
Ah!
Far away.
Up north.
There are also...
...bears that live there.
They gave grandma the linden flowers.
Tea... from flowers...
Can you hear it?
It's golden.
Made of golden flowers.
Understand? - From flowers!
Of a golden tree.
I'll bring them to you.
Tea...
We'll make tea.
And you'll get better, you'll see.
Golden linden...
Baby whale!
Baby whale! Quick, head north.
You see, the monkey is sick.
We need...
to bring some linden blossoms.
Linden...
Ah!
Wow...
Don't you worry.
He'll definitely come back.
- Hang on. Hang on tight... - I'm...
...hang... hanging on...
What about the monkey?
What will happen to her now?
I promised her...
golden flowers.
Everything is lost.
I'm healthy!
Healthy!
Completely healthy.
Healthy!
She's recovered!
If it weren't for you...
If it weren't for you, Lion Cub...
If it weren't for you...
I would...
I would have died...
You explained everything so well...
I dreamed about a golden linden tree all night.
And when I woke up...
I was completely healthy.
Thank you.
Ha-ha-ha!
