Press it! Do not let go!

Press it!

Run, boys! Bedan! - Where? - At the edge of the forest!

So that my head becomes a pumpkin if I'm lying!

We saw him yesterday! - Ha ha, yesterday! ... ...

Well, you give it, Rozhle! - If yesterday saw why he said today ?!

I'm not lying, we saw yesterday! Bedan - the devil in the guise of a man!

What a coward you are!

Bedan won't do anything to me!

Rooster beak is the best mascot from the devil!

The beak won't help here.

The other day he lured a girl and now she must serve him.

- A whole year! - Let's go home soon!

Go home everyone if you still have time to leave!

And I'm not at all afraid of Bedants! If he meets me. ... ...

Kekets! Teen! Home!

If you met him your heart would go to your heels!

I would trick him if you want to know.

Kekets, you really are not afraid Bedanza? He's terrible.

He has shovel hands and eyes are burning coals,

beard like that! - Tinkara, what a talker you are!

I said I would cheat him!

I need to see if it has healed cow's leg.

Tell Mishnek to bring some cheese until it gets dark.

Try to get back before dark.

Come on, eat it to the bottom Don't eat the bowl!

Well, it's time to sleep. To you early in the morning in the mountains

What was it?

Probably Bedan has come take you into service.

But you won't let him take me, will you? True?

Tinkara, it's the wind that slams the door.

Bedan is already asleep and snores like an old bear.

You always tease me. I'm offended.

Don't be offended by me, Tinkara

I'll play you a song and the insult will go away

Resentment doesn't like music, you know.

Do not whine, Volchok, you are not Tinkara.

I'm going to the mountains and you look after the house.

Birds sing songs to me

The winds bend the branches towards me

I will answer hello to them,

Let them take them to their home.

When will they return again

I'll start dreaming again

Sing together With them about

How will I return to my house.

But the birds are silent,

The winds in the crevices are sleeping.

I'm all alone Always sad.

There is no turning back for me.

Oh you lazy! You dream everything and you look into emptiness!

Get down to business!

Business, business! Do you think will I feed you for nothing?

Whistling so told me Linnet bird:

Boy, always sing with your soul Be cheerful, do not be discouraged.

Coward, crybaby you are with you Do not invite on a long journey.

I hear from my steps going uphill:

Boy, good luck waiting for you Be cheerful at night and during the day.

You are friends with a flute, a song, so You walk the right path.

A stream was murmured to me In the pebbles sparkling:

Guy, angry and stubborn make you kinder with a song.

A cheerful look, a face with a blush - So I will be remembered, hey!

Well, Liza, be patient!

Where are you in a hurry? You still have time for the pasture.

Who am I?

Oh, it's you, Kekets.

And I think what a ghost fooling me?

Well, Lisa ran away together with milk.

Lisa knows what's wrong with you, uncle, jokes are bad.

But what brings you to the mountains?

Father sent to find out how are you doing.

OK-OK.

For guys like the two of us you have to be in the mood.

Let's go into the house. We need to eat nicely.

Let's go, let's go.

- Who are you? - I am Moytsa, I serve at Bedanets.

I've already seen you from the other side.

I'm Kosobrin. I live there on the other side.

You hurt yourself, poor thing. Now we will cure it in an instant.

See there are herbs from any disease

How kind you are, grandfather. Bedan, my master, bad.

I hope he doesn't beat you for a broken jug, right?

I'd rather go with you. Will you take me with you?

I would be glad, but Bedanets will take revenge on me.

Don't cry, Moychitsa. This savage will get his.

Sometimes the trick stronger than brute force.

David defeated Goliath.

I'll blindfold you so that you did not see the secret passage.

- Grandpa, will you really take me? - Quiet, shut up!

Let's go, faster!

Well, here we are at home.

Each of these flowers its miraculous healing power.

But how do you, grandfather, know

what flower from what disease?

Many years ago, when my grandfather died.

I was still a little boy. He called me to bed

put his hand on his shoulder and said:

Boy, health is the greatest value in the world.

Then he talked about the healing power each plant

and died. - And you keep all this in your head?

Everything, to the last word.

See, this is the devil's root. And this is arnica.

And this is barberry, good for the liver and bile.

Here is the infusion of the snake tree the best remedy for fear.

One sip - and you nothing at all.

"Mom's Soul". Will help with longing and heartache.

Show me, grandfather.

Mom's soul. I don't have a mom.

Neither mom nor father.

Poor thing, you are all alone.

All alone, grandpa.

How mom died I went around the world.

Then I met Bedants, he took me to him.

Nothing, Moichitsa. You won't feel bad for me.

Just don't get caught by Bedanets. - I'll try, grandfather.

Wait, I'll show you something amazing.

Moytsa!

Scoundrel, where are you again?

Will you bring me water or not?

Mojca, where do you go?

Here it rattles and pours! As if gathered from all over the sky.

It's good that the forehead and mustache did not burn

if not protected.

Leaving so soon?

I'll go tomorrow morning if the weather clears up.

- Why hurry? - Houses are worried.

I’ll go back past the waterfall. - Waterfall?

This is where Bedanets is. He came there from behind the mountains.

If you fall into his clutches your affairs are bad.

What, don't you believe me?

Not really. Do you think before you Tinkara?

I am not afraid of simple shadows. Pull your mustache

and scare someone else .. - Well, you are a brave man!

Hear-shish! Mountain spirits at night they start a Sabbath.

And you never know when such a spirit will enter the house

and play a cruel joke with you.

Ha ha ha! And play a cruel joke!

The best herbs grow just where Bedanets lives.

- What?! - Listen, learned head,

maybe you know, Where has my maid gone?

Why did you scare me so from behind?

Don't jump out out of their boots!

- I just asked about Moyca. “It's their own fault that she escaped.

Wait, wait, you ferret!

You won't fool me ... Where is my girl ?!

Do not! You will break my bones!

- Say one way or another! - My God, you're going to kill me!

Don't shout like that. I just I will take you to the clearing

and there you will talk. While you use your brains

remember where Moytsa is. - How to survive this!

Got it, you scoundrel! You will remember me!

Why are you so cruel tied to a tree, grandfather?

Help, help,

I almost died from fear and from pain.

Help me. Please save me.

I ... I ... saved.

Hee hee hee! I left death with a nose!

You saved me, dear! How grateful I am to you!

Come on. Any kid could cut the rope.

But who are you? To whom are my thanks?

I am Kekets, grandfather, from a village in the valley. - Kekets! You're doing fine!

Listen! Don't cross the clearing

The thug can grab you. The trouble is if he finds out

that you saved me. Let's go quickly through the thickets.

Nothing, we'll meet again.

Oh, you wretch!

I'll strangle you! I'll strangle you all!

So we met, wolf cub! Who are you?

Don't kick like a cat! Who are you ?!

I'm a cake!

Kekets! Rejoice how I'll take a rope out of you!

Uncle Bedanets !. Hey, can you hear me?

That you drag me like a mule.

All because of the bump that hit you in the nose.

Let's move on, you scoundrel!

Or I will arrange this for you - you will not forget to death!

Uncle Bedanets, was that a bear,

why did we rush like that? - The owl screams so terribly.

Didn't you hear? - I heard, of course. What a sassy woman!

Such a strange cry! It's better hear the roar of a bear

than an owl cry. - True, a strange cry.

Chatty owls! Damn birds!

Headache from you I can't sleep at night.

This boy was so brave! He took out a knife and - again!

I cut the rope and I was free.

Did the kekets save you? - Kekets from a village in the valley.

This boy someday will become an important bird.

Baby, but he deceived Bedants, who are as tall as a mountain.

Grandpa, you and Kekets he was so fooled!

Kekets in the little finger more brains

than a fool in a shard.

What is there?

Oh, poor fellow! He grabbed him! Beast!

That's it, you bastard!

You let go of Kosobrinchik and laughed at me!

Now it's my turn to laugh.

Let him go, you brute!

Let him go, beast! Let go!

Hey you scoundrel! Give me the girl!

I'm finished if Bedan come here! Oh-oh-oh!

What's your breath?

Go save Kekets, if you dare!

Poor guy! How do you hit him in the clutches?

Run as best you can, hares!

I'll get you out of your burrow soon.

Ah, whine! Now you in good hands.

I will teach you many things. The study will be long.

Let go, Uncle Bedanets.

Never again a bump on your nose.

It hurts as if I was bitten a thousand ants.

Well, well, I like these words.

I can set you free

if you become obedient.

What do you need, Uncle Bedanets ?.

I will let you go if you find Kosobrinchik

and ask him to hide,

as if you ran away from me.

Cosobrin will show you secret passage,

then you will come back to me and you will show me this passage.

But woe to you if you like escape. I'll get you

hide yourself though a hundred fathoms underground!

Why do you want to find a secret passage in this way?

Only by a secret passage I will go to Kosobrin's hut.

Why do you need to get to his hut?

I had a maid looked after the house.

And this mosquito took her away from me.

You treated her well, uncle Bedanets?

Something a lot of questions! None of your business!

Come on, let's go! Fast! But you won't go

I will help you fly down in the gorge.

Do you really think me such a scoundrel?

Do as instructed. Come on, you wretch!

I won't!

Dont go? - No.

You will be bruised. I'll break your bones!

Go to sleep. And then you already doze like your cat.

I'm waiting for Kekets, mom. He won't come today

It's too late. They with Mishnek, it is true, they are burning a fire

- He would play me the flute. - Tomorrow will play.

Yeah, it must be him.

What is it, Tinka?

- Good evening! - Eh, Rozhle, when will you change your mind?

Foolish, scared her so she's shaking all over.

Take a better look at the ghost - does he not look like Rozhle?

Pull my mane and you will understand that I really am Rojlet.

You will see, I'll tell you everything to Keketsu.

Good evening, gentlemen! There is a pine tree in the yard.

Singing bird on the pine sings sweetly.

calls for a rich harvest, good luck and happiness to the house.

Brothers, you smell my nose that somewhere a keg was opened.

I wish you so much luck how many grains are in the bins,

let the mares foal more, and the cows are calving!

That's good, Mishnek. But where did you leave Kekets?

The boy left the mountains still early in the morning.

Is it really so long ago? - Yes, but what, he's not home yet?

Not yet. “I hope nothing happened to him.

Where is Kekets?

Oh, eat and drink!

I see you are quiet. Not fun anymore?

You were so wrong taunting me.

Nothing, this is just the beginning.

Kekets!

Kekets!

Grandpa, I'll go graze the cattle.

Go, go, Moychitsa.

What, why so sad?

Grandpa, help save Kekets from the hands of Bedanets.

Be patient, be patient, Moichitsa.

I'll find a way how best to help Kekets.

So sorry for him, grandfather.

Don't be sad, Moychitsa. We will definitely save him.

And again we will rejoice together.

You will be here until you wiser and you won't change your mind.

What is the benefit to you, Uncle Bedanets, wasting time on me?

Quiet, shut up!

I already said that even though you're around the most chatty

but you can't fool me.

Shut up! Besides the whistle, nothing comes to your mind?

He thought to beat me with a whistle!

I'll ask you. Soon it's my turn to whistle.

I already guess where is the secret passage.

Watch out! I'll connect all of you - Kosobrinchik, you and Moytsu!

For everything you've done you will serve me for three years ..

And for every stupidity I'll throw it on for three days.

And it will be a lot more.

You will also ask to let go home but you can't pity me

You will also recognize Kekets.

Your beard will turn gray in a week.

Ladybug, Polka dot wings

How do I get back to a good life.

You fly freely In the forest and in the field,

Tell me soon how Get out into the wild.

You fly higher to the sky and to the mountains,

I believe luck Will meet us soon!

Kekets! Can you hear me, Kekets?

Hey! Who is calling me?

It's me, Moytsa!

I wanted to help you but I'm afraid of Bedants.

I'm not afraid of him at all. Wait a couple of days

and see how I cheat him!

Boy, always sing with your soul Be cheerful, do not be discouraged.

Coward, crybaby you are with you Do not invite on a long journey.

Have you heard Kekets? This guy will circle Bedanets around his finger.

Kekets!

Probably the eagle pushed him into the abyss.

Kekets! Kekets!

Open your eyes!

What happened, Uncle Bedanets? - Didn't you hear?

What, uncle? - An owl. The owl screams so badly!

Heard nothing.

Please stand up stay by my side.

I promise I won't be tomorrow bind you.

Damn owls!

Do you know, what does the cry of an owl mean?

Death. The owl is calling death.

Wait uncle I will drive them away.

Go to bed, uncle. No more owls will scream.

Come on get up, quitter!

I can't stand lazy people.

I will poke your ears if you stare at me like that.

Get out of the nest quickly!

The last time I ask you - will you go to Kosobrin?

I will not go to Kosobrin, as much as you would like.

Uncle, what about the promise? Did you quickly forget about the owl?

One last warning. Don't try to escape.

I myself will find a way to Kosobrin, without you.

And then you will dance to my tune.

Hey Tinka, got up already?

Has Kekets returned from the mountains yet?

And your father? - Keketsa was carried away by an eagle.

What are you! Eagle? - We will not see him again.

And how good he is every evening played the flute.

And how many good songs I knew!

And how far he threw stones!

Will never say again that I'm a talker.

And will never tell me again: - Rozhle, well, you are a coward!

Eh, brother, and you're in captivity. I can't go home

and you cannot go up to the sky. We are both held captive by Bedanets.

I would easily deceive Bedants and ran away from him,

but who will help Kosobrin and Mojce, if he finds a passage?

Will you give me the girl back or not?

Let him go, beast! You will still recognize me!

How is it?

You killed the innocent.

He is dead.

What did he do to you? - Quiet, kid.

I didn't want to kill him. He died of fright.

He was a kind person.

I knew, I knew that an owl will call death.

Grandfather, grandfather Kosobrin! Wake up, grandfather!

Grandpa, open your eyes!

Grandpa!

Kekets!

Kekets, Kekets! The poor man is coming!

Hurry, Kekets, hurry!

Kekets, Bedanets has already passed the stream!

Hey you hear! Don't think you have deceived me!

Soon you'll come across to me, rascals!

Calm down, Uncle Bedanets! Grandpa Kosobrin is already better!

Kekets, grandpa is calling you.

Bedan is still looking secret passage?

Bedan all morning tapping rocks, looking for a move.

My God, when will it end?

I have to tell you a secret secret passage,

suddenly something happens. None a living soul should not know about him.

He leads to precious metals Once upon a time, their ore was dug there.

Well, Moychitsa, give me some tea, and a couple of drops from the bark

snake tree, it will make me feel better.

The supper is ready.

Have dinner with your grandfather, I'll come later.

Mother, father, son and daughter - Sleep all, it's been long overnight.

Relax with the sun You should, it's time to sleep.

It's calm in the courtyards at midnight Good dreams, God help!

Top! We haven't seen each other for a long time. I'm having difficulties.

Will you help me? Let's hurry before it's too late.

Good morning!

Why are you looking at me like that? - Where have you been all night?

It's a secret, a big secret. - You did not well,

Made grandpa worry. - Kekets!

Uncle Bedanets is in a hurry to make a visit. - Kekets!

Hey, Kekets! Where is my breakfast?

Ready, Uncle Bedanets. Only I salted it a lot.

Once too salty, give me wet your throat.

Certainly. Soon you will drink your fill!

Want to take a look What kind of breakfast did I make for him?

Take it, Volchok, take it!

Stop, let him run!

Kekets! Kekets!

Anything, Uncle Bedanets? - Help me.

Will you leave our land? - I'm leaving.

Forever and ever? - Forever and ever.

Bedan is gone forever from our area.

We no longer need to be afraid of him. And we will all live peacefully.

Don't forget the promise. I am waiting for you.

I hear from my steps going uphill:

Boy, good luck waiting for you Be cheerful at night and during the day.

You are friends with a flute, a song, so You walk the right path.

A stream was murmured to me In the pebbles sparkling:

Guy, angry and stubborn Make you kind with a song.

A cheerful look, a face with a blush - So I will be remembered, hey!

Boy, always sing with your soul Be cheerful, do not be discouraged.

Coward, crybaby you are with you Do not invite on a long journey.
