00:00:05,540 --> 00:00:07,320
The federal agency for culture and film

2
00:00:08,340 --> 00:00:10,960
Pilot
the big animation studio

3
00:00:11,420 --> 00:00:12,960
present

4
00:00:15,293 --> 00:00:17,135
We live in Russia.

5
00:00:17,558 --> 00:00:21,824
The Russian coat of arms is a golden
two-headed eagle, mighty and proud.

6
00:00:22,240 --> 00:00:24,302
In its centre, St. George the Victorious

7
00:00:24,349 --> 00:00:27,702
slays a wicked dragon
with a silver lance.

8
00:00:27,913 --> 00:00:29,559
The flag of Russia has three colors:

9
00:00:29,563 --> 00:00:33,528
white is for peace and purity;
blue for sky and hope;

10
00:00:33,528 --> 00:00:35,685
red for glory and bravery.

11
00:00:35,686 --> 00:00:38,995
The capital of our country is Moscow.

12
00:00:39,635 --> 00:00:42,539
Russia is the largest country in the world.

13
00:00:43,224 --> 00:00:45,381
Many different nations live
on its territory,

14
00:00:45,620 --> 00:00:49,051
each with its own customs
and traditions.

15
00:00:49,210 --> 00:00:51,478
To the west is our neighbor Belarus,

16
00:00:51,703 --> 00:00:54,387
but many Belorussians also live
here in Russia

17
00:00:54,528 --> 00:00:59,847
Since ancient times Belorussian stonecutters
and painters have been invited into Russia;

18
00:00:59,848 --> 00:01:05,913
even the walls of the Kremlin Armory
were decorated by Belorussian artisans.

19
00:01:05,914 --> 00:01:11,478
The whole world knows of the Belorussian
national park, Belovezhskaya Pushcha.

20
00:01:11,479 --> 00:01:16,846
It is the only place on Earth where the
mighty wisents (European bison) are preserved.

21
00:01:17,316 --> 00:01:21,001
Today Belarus makes powerful trucks,

22
00:01:21,002 --> 00:01:26,285
so large that a herd of
wisents can fit into them.

23
00:01:27,427 --> 00:01:33,612
And of course, Belorussians preserve
and tell wonderful stories.

24
00:01:33,613 --> 00:01:38,050
Each one is like a precious gem.

25
00:01:38,051 --> 00:01:41,274
MOUNTAIN OF GEMS

26
00:01:47,137 --> 00:01:48,907
When the Master was a Horse.

27
00:02:04,176 --> 00:02:12,720
Come on, hup-two, hup-two, forward march!

28
00:02:12,721 --> 00:02:15,712
Loafers! Slackers!

29
00:02:15,713 --> 00:02:21,577
There once lived a landowner,
wicked and greedy.

30
00:02:21,640 --> 00:02:24,280
Let's see you move:
Hup-two, hup-two, hup-two...

31
00:02:24,340 --> 00:02:30,730
It's hard, good Sir, we would
like to rest and eat a little

32
00:02:30,738 --> 00:02:36,501
Eat... a little... I'll show you "food"!
I'll show you "rest"!

33
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:41,500
What a stern one you are, my darling.

34
00:02:42,580 --> 00:02:50,470
Kind Sir! Won't you consider getting a
horse to help us? It sure is hard with no horse...

35
00:02:50,476 --> 00:02:53,326
A horse? To help?!

36
00:02:53,628 --> 00:02:59,242
How ridiculous! A horse scarfs down
three rubles of hay each year!

37
00:02:59,243 --> 00:03:04,118
It's not right, Lord. How can people
do a horse's job?

38
00:03:04,119 --> 00:03:06,065
What's that? Who's there?

39
00:03:09,914 --> 00:03:13,921
Hup-two, hup-two.
I'll show you, you peasants!

40
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,700
Have mercy on your workers.

41
00:03:16,700 --> 00:03:20,600
Don't you see how
they work day and night for you?!

42
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:22,880
Where are you speaking from?

43
00:03:22,900 --> 00:03:25,420
Are you dragging your feet,
you slackers?

44
00:03:25,500 --> 00:03:28,890
Don't you torture your men!
Give them something to eat.

45
00:03:28,897 --> 00:03:32,119
Shut up! Who are you, anyway?

46
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,160
I am the house-elf of this house.

47
00:03:34,220 --> 00:03:37,280
I've lived here since the days of
your old man and your granddad...

48
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:41,020
Elf, elf!
I am an elf myself.

49
00:03:43,363 --> 00:03:45,940
What lousy workers I have to deal with...

50
00:04:04,121 --> 00:04:05,986
Here's a horse for you, fellows.

51
00:04:08,904 --> 00:04:10,453
But there's one condition:

52
00:04:10,454 --> 00:04:14,126
Give this horse the hardest work!

53
00:04:17,164 --> 00:04:23,196
And one more thing... never feed this
horse! It will only do it good...

54
00:04:28,280 --> 00:04:31,880
That's how they got a horse in the household.

55
00:04:31,890 --> 00:04:37,048
The master disappeared the same day,
as if he had never existed at all.

56
00:04:43,826 --> 00:04:46,236
Oh... he's not here, either...
Where is he?

57
00:04:49,543 --> 00:04:53,001
They worked the horse from dawn to dusk,

58
00:04:53,002 --> 00:04:55,775
gave him the toughest work,

59
00:04:55,776 --> 00:05:00,257
and, as they had been told,
never fed him at all.

60
00:05:05,362 --> 00:05:06,737
He's not here either.

61
00:05:13,557 --> 00:05:14,859
I found him!

62
00:05:16,093 --> 00:05:19,930
Here is our master, sleeping.

63
00:05:21,369 --> 00:05:22,491
Thank God.

64
00:05:22,492 --> 00:05:25,809
How tired you must have become
from work!

65
00:05:25,810 --> 00:05:29,317
Oh, it's only his boots!

66
00:05:53,632 --> 00:05:58,536
One unlucky night, some thieves
stole into the farm yard.

67
00:06:01,672 --> 00:06:07,777
- Here I've got the he...
- Nah, I've got the head!.. He he...

68
00:06:08,660 --> 00:06:09,770
Quiet!

69
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:20,900
Where are you, my turtle dove?
Who have left me for?

70
00:06:40,460 --> 00:06:42,470
Oh, my size!

71
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:43,715
My size!

72
00:06:43,716 --> 00:06:44,616
Let's try them.

73
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:45,610
Let's try them!

74
00:06:52,732 --> 00:06:57,083
Ah! Alarm! Ah! All our boots
have been stolen!

75
00:06:57,180 --> 00:06:59,690
After them! Get them! Quick!

76
00:06:59,692 --> 00:07:02,293
Come on! Come on!

77
00:07:05,620 --> 00:07:07,710
Now they're there,
now they're not...

78
00:07:18,948 --> 00:07:21,780
- After them!
- What in the world's going on?!

79
00:07:25,079 --> 00:07:27,637
Hurraaay!

80
00:07:38,819 --> 00:07:41,502
Let's sell this horse
to the shoemaker.

81
00:07:41,503 --> 00:07:48,870
Hah, shoemaker, shoemaker... He wouldn't
buy such a fleabag! Too skinny....

82
00:07:48,871 --> 00:07:51,981
You know what?
We'll do some puffing!

83
00:07:52,097 --> 00:07:53,803
On who? The shoemaker??

84
00:07:53,804 --> 00:07:56,669
First the horse, then the shoemaker...

85
00:07:56,670 --> 00:07:59,992
Sure! You and I have hot air to spare!

86
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,840
- Shhh, hush!

87
00:08:27,026 --> 00:08:27,753
Now you!

88
00:08:28,700 --> 00:08:30,220
What's the matter?

89
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,360
I'm loathe to touch it after you.

90
00:08:50,740 --> 00:08:54,160
Look what a fine horse, eh?

91
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:56,900
It's OK.

92
00:08:56,980 --> 00:09:01,580
Take it, you will not regret it,
This is not a horse... It's an eagle!

93
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,060
Sure, I'll buy it!

94
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,450
They were here! And now they're gone!
My, my...

95
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:16,880
What a marvelous world this is!

96
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,300
Look at what a fine horse I bought!

97
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,670
A fine horse?? Where were your eyes?

98
00:09:21,671 --> 00:09:23,977
You bought a half-dead old fleabag!!!

99
00:09:23,980 --> 00:09:25,620
A half-dead old fleabag?

100
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:27,620
Oh! Where were my eyes?

101
00:09:27,740 --> 00:09:30,600
What are we going to do with this "prize"?

102
00:09:31,945 --> 00:09:33,531
With this "prize"...

103
00:09:36,982 --> 00:09:42,427
Oh! There's enough leather here for
seven pairs of boots!

104
00:09:42,460 --> 00:09:43,280
How about eight?

105
00:09:43,340 --> 00:09:45,240
Why not? Eight might be possible too.

106
00:09:45,300 --> 00:09:49,600
And the horse understood
what a fate awaited him.

107
00:10:04,313 --> 00:10:07,418
Why not? Perhaps even nine.

108
00:11:20,540 --> 00:11:25,570
Ah, and thus the horse returned
to his beloved home.

109
00:11:28,399 --> 00:11:31,279
Where are you, my darling?

110
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,360
Where have you gone...?

111
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:54,910
How dare you, wretched fleabag,
eat my cabbages?

112
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:04,440
Oh my...!

113
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,840
Dear wife, why do you hit me?

114
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,880
You even begrudge me
these pitiful cabbage leaves?

115
00:12:14,180 --> 00:12:19,500
I now feel that I've never
eaten anything better!

116
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:21,700
You must be exhausted, my poor dear...

117
00:12:23,177 --> 00:12:26,746
Hey, fellows, need some help?
Let me give a hand!

118
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:39,550
It'll be easier together. Come on, men,
at the same time, hup-two, hup-two!

119
00:12:52,740 --> 00:12:55,600
After that,
the Master became kind,

120
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:59,500
And did not abuse his workers any more.

121
00:13:00,140 --> 00:13:03,100
But he never did buy them a horse.
