PICTURES OF OLD

3
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,250
In the old days...

4
00:00:19,590 --> 00:00:21,730
the rich lived well,

5
00:00:21,990 --> 00:00:24,310
and the poor did not.

6
00:00:24,990 --> 00:00:30,720
The rich ate, drank, and had fun
from morning 'till evening.

7
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,160
And the poor? They worked...

8
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,140
...or became robbers.

9
00:00:38,150 --> 00:00:41,760
The chieftain of robbers was Kudeyar.

10
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:46,950
He robbed the rich
and helped the poor.

11
00:00:49,090 --> 00:00:53,280
So the rich got scared and
turned to the Tsar.

12
00:00:54,030 --> 00:00:57,450
They him asked for an army
to defeat Kudeyar.

13
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,470
Guns were fired in all directions,

14
00:01:04,590 --> 00:01:08,130
horsemen gallopped to and fro,

15
00:01:09,300 --> 00:01:12,480
but Kudeyar was no coward.

16
00:01:12,590 --> 00:01:18,580
He continued robbing the rich
and hid his treasures in a cave

17
00:01:18,690 --> 00:01:20,860
on Bald Mountain

18
00:01:21,100 --> 00:01:26,530
Night on Bald Mountain

19
00:01:41,350 --> 00:01:46,700
They met early in the morning
and hurried off to the service.

20
00:01:47,730 --> 00:01:53,390
One of them worked as a priest,
the other as a blind beggar.

21
00:01:53,510 --> 00:01:56,950
As they say,
both lived by the Grace of God.

22
00:02:08,930 --> 00:02:11,820
In their free time, they
talked about God,

23
00:02:11,930 --> 00:02:13,890
and about the lives of saints.

24
00:02:14,110 --> 00:02:15,730
They argued,

25
00:02:15,850 --> 00:02:17,980
but never quarreled.

26
00:02:18,540 --> 00:02:21,740
Both were widowers,
bringing up their children alone.

27
00:02:22,690 --> 00:02:24,840
The children too were inseparable.

28
00:02:25,660 --> 00:02:30,150
The time came
when it became clear even for a blind man:

29
00:02:30,460 --> 00:02:34,730
Vanya and Manya loved
each other.

30
00:02:36,290 --> 00:02:38,810
And then the poor man
said to the priest:

31
00:02:38,930 --> 00:02:43,410
- Is not it time to think about
a wedding, my neighbor?

32
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:45,630
- A wedding?

33
00:02:45,740 --> 00:02:49,050
- Give Masha to a beggar's son?

34
00:02:49,170 --> 00:02:52,410
- You want to know
to whom I'll give her?

35
00:02:52,550 --> 00:02:54,580
- To the very best...

36
00:02:54,700 --> 00:02:56,930
- You're a fool, neighbor!

37
00:02:57,050 --> 00:02:59,420
- Do you not know
from what ancestors we stem?

38
00:02:59,530 --> 00:03:03,360
- Why, you may even be poor
in comparison with us!

39
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,470
And that,
word for word,

40
00:03:06,590 --> 00:03:11,010
ended the serene life of the two lovers.

41
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,910
The beggar in the meantime had
fallen ill from the insult.

42
00:03:18,030 --> 00:03:20,540
He called for his son Ivan
and said:

43
00:03:21,490 --> 00:03:23,190
- Know, my son,

44
00:03:23,770 --> 00:03:27,550
that our ancestor was
Ataman Kudeyar.

45
00:03:28,860 --> 00:03:31,940
He hid his riches in a cave

46
00:03:32,050 --> 00:03:35,450
behind the old cemetery
that is on Bald Mountain!

47
00:03:36,510 --> 00:03:39,510
- I will tell you the way to the cave

48
00:03:39,630 --> 00:03:41,760
- Just remember this:

49
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,780
- Only go there during a full moon.

50
00:04:30,620 --> 00:04:34,440
And everything happened
as his father had said.

51
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,750
It was midnight.

52
00:05:12,350 --> 00:05:17,920
Ivan saw, very close to himself,
the stone face of his ancestor.

53
00:05:33,300 --> 00:05:35,470
Here it is,
the path,

54
00:05:36,660 --> 00:05:39,200
And here they are,
the three stones.

55
00:05:55,900 --> 00:05:59,090
Down there was a cave.

56
00:06:38,730 --> 00:06:41,640
But then appeared
the guardians of the treasures.

57
00:06:42,050 --> 00:06:45,220
The former fearless
warriors of Kudeyar!

58
00:06:50,870 --> 00:06:53,020
And then came the chieftain himself...

59
00:06:53,830 --> 00:06:56,850
- Who's that you've got there?

60
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,810
- What a handsome lad!

61
00:07:01,430 --> 00:07:02,890
- A true heir of my blood!

62
00:07:03,930 --> 00:07:07,060
- I know about your troubles

63
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,360
- I waited for you,

64
00:07:09,780 --> 00:07:11,820
and prepared a wedding gift.

65
00:07:12,710 --> 00:07:14,890
- Take it!

66
00:07:18,930 --> 00:07:22,740
- In this boat you will find everything
you need.

67
00:07:30,820 --> 00:07:32,640
- Be happy, you two!

68
00:07:33,550 --> 00:07:36,470
- The boat itself will take you
to your house.

69
00:08:17,740 --> 00:08:20,720
Manya and Vanya were soon married.

70
00:08:21,510 --> 00:08:25,700
They lived long and died together
on the same day.

71
00:08:26,540 --> 00:08:29,550
Or at least, that's how one is
supposed to end a fairy tale!
