Good morning,
It's time to have breakfast, monkey.
Is it tomorrow already? No, it's only today yet.
But you already had breakfast? I have. Why?
Then today is tomorrow!
Today cannot be tomorrow.
Tomorrow will be in the future, and we are in the real time.
And the future is not real? It...
It is make-believe?
The future is real, but... But? But, but, but?
It will come later. When?
Soon. And I think it has already come.
What do you mean, it has come? When?
What do you mean, it has come? What has come, my friends?
The future. Where?
Everywhere. Today's morning it is already tomorrow.
Really?
It can't be that today is tomorrow.
Yes? You mean, today is yesterday?
Yesterday is over.
When yesterday ends, starts tomorrow. Then the day after tomorrow.
Then two days after tomorrow. Then...
I beg your pardon, but when is today? I don't care about today! It's boring!
Every day - is today. How do we cope with that?
Can it be that one day Time will stop and we will say:
Yesterday is every morning. Life is awfully boring.
Life is awfully boring, Yesterday is every morning.
Let tomorrow come today, It is where we hurry.
Let the future come our way, - Then we wouldn't worry.
Don't you see that everything around belongs tomorrow?
Don't you feel the future has already come?
If the future had come, now it would have been... the New Year!
The New Year? The New Year?
Let it be the New Year! What, what New Year?
The New Year doesn't come just like that.
You have to see it in.
Then let's! Let's, let's see it in! Let's!
I'd say, why don't we really see it in?
It is so pleasant, my friends, to see in the New Year.
Very pleasant.
How? How? How shall we see it in?
To see in the New Year, we need, first of all, a Christmas tree.
Secondly, Santa Claus. And, last but not least, the Snow Maiden.
I'll be 'the last but not least Snow Maiden'!
And I will, I beg your pardon, be Santa.
Then that makes me the Christmas tree.
That's right! And we will decorate you, and dance the round dance around you.
What will we dance, I beg your pardon?
Ooh! The round dance.
Boa's home is Africa, In Africa he lives, -
So cute, and slim, and ever-green, Just like the summer leaves.
Why - green? Because I'm a Christmas tree.
You won't make a Christmas tree.
- And why is that? - Why won't he?
A Christmas tree is prickly. And he is soft.
A Christmas tree has to have needles.
Ha! We can stick needles into him.
Oh no, don't stick needles into me! Parrot is right: I won't make a Christmas tree.
Then we don't have a Christmas tree?
But we have the Snow Maiden and Santa Claus.
We don't have Santa Claus either. Santa is cold.
And the elephant - there, feel him - he is warm.
We'll freeze him! There!
No! Please don't freeze me! Please don't freeze me! Please...
One Snow Maiden won't make a New Year celebration. There.
And I say - it will. Absolutely!
Today the Snow Maiden Will visit girls and boys.
And she will bring them presents, And she will bring them toys.
So you are determined to see in the New Year?
Yes!
And you no longer need the old year?
No, we don't!
Go ahead, see it in then. But mind you:
Little Elephant will miss out on his Birthday.
How is that? Why?
He hasn't celebrated his Birthday this year, right?
He hasn't. And he won't.
Because you don't need this year any more.
But how will he do without his Birthday?
I wanted to give him ripe bananas as a Birthday present.
There won't be any ripe bananas either. They'll stay green.
My friends, I think we rushed events a bit.
And how!
Why see in the next New Year,
when there's still so much that's interesting left in this year?
Sweet bananas and pineapples.
Oh yes. And my Birthday.
Then the future hasn't come yet?
Not yet. But it will come. You can be sure of that.
That means, today is not tomorrow yet?
Today - is today. And tomorrow will be tomorrow.
Every day? Every day.
That's wonderful! Every day will be tomorrow!
