The friendly spring has come at last,
[The children's animation journal no. 5] It's working hard to stay.
[screenplay Zh. Vitenzon, lyrics G. Sapgir] How tirelessly, how tirelessly it's been at work today.
[(art-)directors V. Bordzilovskiy, Yu. Prytkov] [artists G. Arkadyev, V. Valeryanova] The spring streams run along so fast, Washing away debris.
[music M. Meyerovich, camera Ye. Rizo, sound N. Prilutskiy] The gardens green are all abuzz with cheerful repartee.
Look, the acacia's blossoming, The cherry did last night.
The apple tree, the apple tree Is coloured all in white.
Together with the kindly sun It's working every day.
This friendly spring, this working spring, Is here at last to stay.
The Puddle
Oh!
What a fall I had!
Not in order.
In order!
The Puppy
The sun does dances in the sky.
A choir cheers up the lands.
The crossing guard on Bridge Boulevard
Like a conductor stands.
[May]
My pal and I walk down the street,
We've been good friends a while.
My friend is smiling and upbeat,
And so I also smile.
Volodya, ah, Volodya! Come on, let me hold it for just two minutes!
You'll let him go.
Well, then just one minute!
You'll let him go. And I can't live without him!
I won't let him go, I won't let him go for anything!
Well then, maybe. Later.
Keep sitting here!
Come here, into the shade.
It fell in. I can't reach it now.
Calm down. We'll buy you a new doll.
Oh, I don't need a new one. She's going to sink!
Be careful not to stain your dress.
What's going on here?
He saved my Lyalya.
Very good. Whose dog is it?
Mom, let's take him home.
He's so wonderful.
What? A dog? Into our house?
Come now, let's go look for the owner.
Excuse me, is this your dog?
It's not mine, but if he's lost,
I'll be happy to take him.
Where is Ginger? You bungler!
- There's Ginger! - Hush!
He must have done something, since a policeman's leading him.
I probably will be held responsible.
So hold your tongue.
Boys, is this your dog?
Hey, why are you bothering me?
I do not want to hold my tongue!
Mister policeman, this is our...
I mean, not our...
This is my dog - Ginger.
You have a good dog. Here you are.
Ginger.
Come to me, Ginger.
Now, Ginger...
My pal and I walk down the street,
We've been good friends a while.
My friend is smiling and upbeat,
And so I also smile.
The End
