Those who wander slopes and valleys

Singing merry songs out loud

Have to mind the traps around them

Or they'll end up in a fix.

Off I go now, spreading good mood

Among the people all around.

Carrying sunshine on my shoulders

And heaps of laughter in my hands.

Where are you going?

To Rovte, the Skalars need someone to tend the sheep.

Is it far from here?

I don't think you'll get there before night.

The road seems endless, as if someone

were cutting it off from behind

and pinning it on in front. Isn't there a short cut?

You wouldn't like to meat a wild goat, would you?

Why not, if I could save time by going that way.

Well, you are a brave boy.

Take care!

Good luck, Kekec.

So, you're Kekec. You don't mean to say

that you're Skalar's Roile?

Well, if it isn't Kekec. I thought you were never coming.

Didn't I promise to come? Now I'm here

whether you like it or not.

Of course we like it. Now boys, you two will drive

the beasts to the mountain. Kekec, you will take charge

of the sheep and you, Roile, will drive the cattle.

Is that all right? Quite all right.

What about me? I want to go to the mountain, too.

This is our Mojca, you know.

Good evening.

Good evening, Kekec. I hope you'll like it here.

I think I will. Haven't seen a nicer place anywhere.

They all say it's nice.

Is it true that you can sing, Kekec?

Our Mojca can sing so that it's a pleasure to listen to her.

Mother... -Why not say it, if it's true.

Oh, I believe you. You know, I can tell people by their eyes.

Aren't the dumplings ready yet?

They have been ready for quite a while.

Then let's go and eat.

Cold dumplings are like a boy without courage,

aren't they?

Ro2le... Yes?

Has Mojca been blind from birth?

When she was a little girl she could see.

And then? She fell ill

and she's been blind ever since.

Poor thing... to be blind... always in the dark.

Indeed. Just to think of the darkness gives me the... Kekec!

Yes? Tell me, Kekec.

What'll you do if you get scared up in the mountain?

I'll tremble...

You'll tremble surely if you meet Pehta.

Pehta? Who's that? The mountain bogey.

What sort of bogey? Don't you know?

She's a horrid witch. She's got a wolf and steals children.

Come on, everybody says kids are a nuisance.

So why should Pehta steal them?

Can't talk sense with you, Kekec!

Here's where I met a bear the other day.

A bear? Yes, a bear.

And what a bear it was, wasn't it, Mojca?

Well, I don't know. But I told you about it.

Were you scared? Scared?

I just waved my stick like that and shouted: Let's run!

You know, Roile, when you meet a bear you just

sing to it and it's all right.

Well, now I believe it. Believe what?

That there are ghosts in the mountain.

Kekec, d'you know what?

I know, I know. What?

That I should scare them away.

Well, how d'you like this fine house?

Don't like it either. Looks like it's clearing up.

Don't you think so? It is, believe me.

Don't pull the house down.

And now sing the song you made up this morning, Kekec.

If Roile doesn't mind. What's that you've got now?

Just a song.

A dwarf is hiding in the forest

He will catch you, there's no doubt

He will grab you by the throat

And he'll beat you like a goat!

Hey, Roile, it is your turn now

The dwarf can hardly wait for you

But if you manage to avoid him,

Pehta will get her hands on you.

She will strangle you by lunchtime

And make a dinner from your flesh

Beware, Roile it is your turn now

Pehta's faster than a crow.

MOjca!

My little Mojca!

Here, take them. I've picked them for you.

Arnica,

gentian,

and cloves.

They must be pretty, because they smell so nice!

They are pretty. Pretty. Tell me, Kekec,

what are these mountains like?

They're steep and high, with white tops.

With white tops?

As white as an old man's head.

And they're specially beautiful in the morning.

What's the morning like? Like the loveliest song.

Then it must be beautiful. How happy I should be

if I could see it all.

Don't be sad, Mojca. There's herb for every evil

and there must be one for you. I'm going to find it

even if it means going to the end of the world.

Are you going to find it, really? -Really.

Kekec!

Kekec!

Tll me, tiny little bird,

You that fly across the world

How bright are the stars at night

Where from does the sun come so bright?

I would love to fly with you,

And see the world the way you do

Pd count the stars

And sing with you

But this dark night

forbids me to.

Therefore, my song is sad and

My eyes wish they weren't dead.

Who is it?

Your neighbour from the pasture near by.

I've never heard your voice before.

But I've often heard yours. You can sing,

can't you? Won't you come with me?

Where to? To pick strawberries.

I mustn't go too far. I might get lost.

They're close to up here. Lots of fine big red berries.

Really?

MOjca!

MOjca!

She's nowhere near!

[M°]ca! -Mojca!

[M°]ca! -Mojca!

They're ever so good. Won't you eat them?

I'll take them to Kekec and Roile.

I must go back now. They'll be worried. -All right, let's go.

[M°]ca! -Mojca!

[M°]ca! -Mojca!

How come we are walking for such a long time?

Are you tired?

We haven't lost our way, have we?

Just a bit more and we'll be home.

Now we're at home.

Where am I?

At my place. Who are you?

Pehta.

Kekec... Roile...

A wolf!

Pehta's wolf!

Pehta has stolen her.

We must go home and be quick!

Aren't we going to look for her?

Look for whom? For Pehta, of course...

if you really think that Pehta's got Mojca.

Are you crazy? Do you really think you can find her?

We'll find her, she must be somewhere.

I want to go home.

I'll take good care of you.

Take me back to our hut on the mountain!

Of course, so that you can make a fool of me.

I'll show Kekec and Roile, if they dare to sing songs

about Pehta ever again!

Why, Kekec meant no harm.

But I do, don't I? Stay with me,

it's for your own good. If you are a good girl

and sing me a nice song every now and then,

I'll give you something precious, and you'll always be

grateful to me. Don't you believe me?

I know of a white flower with great medicinal power.

And only I know how to make healing drops from it.

Don't want anything from you. Let me go home.

Come on, dear. Don't cry. Sing me a song

if you want me to help you.

Had we gone home to tell about Mojca the very first day,

we'd have found her a long time ago.

Look, Roile, look there! Look what?

There's a hut.

Don't go down there! Let's run away, Kekec!

MOjca!

Pehta! She's imitating Mojca's voice

to lure us into her den.

Kekec... I'm going to call father.

Where are you? Mojca? Mojca!

Who is it?

Mojca, don't you know my voice?

Is it really you, Kekec? Of course it's me.

Well, well. Why are you crying?

I'm so happy... so...

Run away, Kekec, run.

So Pehta can't catch you.

So it was really Pehta that brought you down here. -Yes,

this is hut... Run away, Kekec, run!

Don't be scared, my little Mojca. Everything will be fine.

Hurry up, Kekec, Hurry up!

Mojca, come on... Help me!

Let's try harder!

And if we meet Pehta...

Let's run and we'll be all right... Roile... Roile...

ls Roile with you? -He's gone already. Let's run now

to get home before him.

Why do you stare at me like that?

So it's my fault?

Didn't I tell her not to go down there?

Kekec!

Kekec!

Why are you shouting like that?

Are you deaf? What for are you poking around my hut?

I... I won't do you any harm.

Say, what's that over there, eh?

Oh, I... I don't know.

Who's been pulling my house down, I ask you.

Ouch, let me go..., let me go. I didn't do it nor did Kekec.

Where's Mojca, you nuisance? Where is she?

I haven't done anything. It was Kekec. I can't help it.

Go find Kekec, quick!

And now a hundred witches can't catch us.

And if Pehta's wolf comes after us?

Don't worry about that fat head.

And say Good-by nicely to Pehta.

Can't go on. My feet hurt.

We'll have a rest now.

Pehta...

Pehta's kidnapped Mojca.

What's the matter?

And Kekec stole Mojca back from Pehta, took her away.

Roile, whatever are you talking about?

Pehta's sent the wolf... What? She sent the wolf

after them. And the Wolf's both of them...

Wretched child. Will you tell us what's happened?

Well, it has probably torn them to pieces.

And you haven't just fancied things again?

She caught me too, but I got away,

and then I saw the wolf face to face like this.

Roile, let's go!

You two can't do it alone. Go get the neighbours!

Well, children!

Mummy! 'M°J'Ca!...

My children, thank God you're alive.

It wasn't so bad.

Was it Pehta? Did she take you away? -Yes,

but she didn't hurt me. She didn't hit me

nor did she pull me by my hair... Only she talked

so funnily that I'm still frightened.

What was it she said? Oh, nothing!

She just told me to stay with her if I wanted

to be healthy. She said she could make some healing

drops for me that no one else could make them.

Rest a little. Don't think about Pehta anymore.

Those who wander slopes and valleys

Singing merry songs out loud

Have to mind the traps around them,

Or they'll end up in a fix.

Off I go now, spreading good mood

Among the people all around.

Carrying sunshine on my shoulders

And heaps of laughter in my hands.

Creeks and winds are there To help me

Stars that twinkle in the sky

Show me the way over

The hills and mountains high.

Off I go now, spreading good mood

Among the people all around.

Carrying sunshine on my shoulders

And heaps of laughter in my hands!

Pehta!

Auntie Pehta!

Now...

It's you I'm looking for, auntie!

I'll give you auntie!

Why, don't you believe me? Shut up!

Where are you off to, Mrs. Pehta?

That's where you'll sleep.

Your house's a bit funny, isn't it?

You'll get used to it! Well, I don't know.

Where do you keep your cow?

That wolf cannot live on grass.

He's more to me than the whole lot of you down there.

You really mustn't take me for such a fool.

Well, what do you know about it, silly.

I can make a hundred medicines from this.

A lot you know, indeed. Why'd you go about like a ghost

if you know so much? Go about like a ghost?

Everybody's afraid of you. You should go down

and mix with people, you could help them a lot

as you know so much about plants.

You surely don't think I've lived among these rocks

all my life. At one time, I lived among people,

used to help them whenever help was necessary.

And don't think they were grateful!

They cast me out.

That wasn't fair. But I can't understand

why you are still so fond of flowers if you don't

want to help people.

The time will come, my time, when I'll show them

what I know and what I can do.

Well, I know you're clever, but I'm sure you

don't know the drops that would you cure blind eyes.

You think so, don't you?

Once a year a white flower blooms, only for one day

and one night. No one has ever picked it

and pressed drops out of it. Those drops have such a power

that they cure blindness. No one can make them but me.

You mean, Mojca might really be able to see again?

Of course she might, but she won't,

and it's entirely your fault. Why did you take her away?

Didn't you know that I could help her?

No, I didn't, auntie Pehta. Don't you auntie me!

Well, I must tell you... Shut up!

Well, pull my hair... and twist my ears

if you like but don't let Mojca suffer because of me.

Mojca's got her own troubles. Your punishment

is still to come! You'll be my servant.

All right! I'll stay with you. If only you give me

the drops for Mojca. Help her, please.

Not a word more about her. She's like the rest,

she doesn't like me. That's not true.

Shut up! No one likes me. Wonder what you've said about me

that they set upon me

as if I were a wild animal. And now you want to bring them

up here, don't you?

I won't', I promise you.

Of course, you won't. You'll stay with me.

Go to bed now, quick.

And you better watch him, d'you hear me?

Go away, you ugly Wolf!

Well, you can come here if you like.

You aren't so bad one couldn't be

fond of you... Would be nice for us two to be friends.

But you better behave yourself, hear me?

You will be good, won't you?

Now give me your paw, let's make friends.

Oh, you're not that clever.

Kekec!

Is that you, Kekec? It's me, it's me, Mojca!

I thought it was Kekec.

Why have you brought the cattle down so early?

Kekec isn't on the mountain. What did you say?

He's nowhere. I've looked for him everywhere but...

Pehta's probably...

It's your fault, you know.

Who knows what you told Pehta

that she's got so angry with Kekec?

Pehta didn't catch Kekec. He's looking for the flower

for me, I tell you. He told me he would get it

even if he had to go to the end of the world to find it.

What shall we do now? We'll keep on looking for him...

but where?

You'll see, he'll be back soon.

Eat!

Shall I play another tune for you, auntie Pehta?

Have I ever said you shouldn't?

Why live like this... all by yourself.

You should go down and live among people

because you know so much. You would like it there.

You are a smart boy! Well, what is it you want?

Oh, nothing... Just those drops for Mojca...

Don't even think of them! Go back to your work!

And you, don't let him out of your sight!

So... that's how you spend your time

when I'm not around. You'd like to run away, eh?

Don't be angry, Mrs. Pehta, auntie!

Shut up! I'll show you! I tell you, no one is going

to take this away from me, you know!

That's where my power lies! Pehta's got more common

sense here than the whole lot of you down there

in the valley. Stick to your work!

And you just stared at him, didn't you?

Just you wait! You'll remember the day when you tried

to disobey me!

From today on you'll dance to my fiddle.

You're not even to go out! Do you hear me?

She hurt you, didn't she, poor old fat head.

Be good and go with me. You know I just have

to get those drops for Mojca and then

off we go to the valley. And you'll come with me,

on't you? We'll go to the pasture together

and we'll go crazy with joy. And no one will scold or beat us.

And you won't be hungry, you know.

If there is food for me there's enough for you, too.

Well, what d'you think?

Kekec!

Kekec!

Ahoy! Kekec!

Hullo, Kekec!

What's the matter?

Can't you hear them? They're after me again.

They can get me, but they won't get this.

Don't do that!

Don't do that!

Don't!

Why are you crying? I'm not.

D'you think I'm not worried about Kekec?

They say Peha's taking it out on Kekec because of me.

Who says so? Everybody, even Dad!

Nobody's going to reproach me me for it. Not any more.

Roile! Where are you going, Roile?

Kekec...

Open the door, open it!

Catch him! Catch him!

I'm not coming back for anything in the world.

You haven't served your time by a long way yet, you know?

Come here, come...

You won't beat him.

Even a dog knows who's fond of him.

And I thought that Wolf could not have left me

for anybody.

Auntie Pehta, there's something else I must tell you.

I'm not angry at you any more although you threw

these down the hole.

Don't forget, just three drops into each eye.

Good-Bye!

Kekec!

I can see!

I can see!

I see, mummy!

MOjca!

My little Mojca!

Off I go now, spreading good mood

Among the people all around.

Carrying sunshine On my shoulders, and

Heaps of laughter in my hands.

So, going back already!

Well, hither and thither, as the wind blows.

Just follow my nose. I'm off to see the world.

Have a look at it, have a good look at it, Kekec,

and from the right angle. People say that you

got the better of Pehta. You've got nerve, Kekec!

Well, it was no big deal. Pehta's not so bad, you know.

So long!

Good luck, Kekec!

Off I go now, spreading good mood

Among the people all around.

Carrying sunshine on my shoulders

And heaps of laughter in my hands.

Creeks and winds are There to help me,

Stars that twinkle in the sky

Show me the way over

The hills and mountains high.

Off I go now, spreading good mood

Among the people all around.

Carrying sunshine on my shoulders

And heaps of laughter in my hands.
