00:00:12,243 --> 00:00:15,103
Ryaba the Hen
(based on a folk tale)

5
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:17,810
There once lived and old man
and an old woman.

6
00:00:17,910 --> 00:00:19,700
Their household was not a big one -

7
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:21,889
just Ryaba the hen and Purry the cat,

8
00:00:21,989 --> 00:00:23,429
that was all the wealth they had!

9
00:00:23,530 --> 00:00:24,780
Here's an egg for you!

10
00:00:24,870 --> 00:00:27,819
The hen laid eggs,
feeding the old couple.

11
00:00:28,469 --> 00:00:30,440
- Help yourself.
- I don't want to.

12
00:00:30,590 --> 00:00:32,240
- Come on, eat it!
- I won't.

13
00:00:32,341 --> 00:00:33,341
Uh...

14
00:00:34,070 --> 00:00:37,940
And the cat spent most of his time
lying on the stove, warming his sides.

15
00:00:39,001 --> 00:00:40,541
- Come on, eat it!
- I don't want to.

16
00:00:40,649 --> 00:00:44,619
And in a hole under the stove
lived a little house mouse.

17
00:00:45,900 --> 00:00:49,639
She subsisted on old potatoes
and dry bread crusts.

18
00:00:52,929 --> 00:00:54,780
At times, the mouse would
peek out from her hole,

19
00:00:54,881 --> 00:00:57,581
and observe the life of the household.

20
00:00:58,180 --> 00:01:01,189
I'm sick of this food.
I want some gingerbread.

21
00:01:01,289 --> 00:01:02,630
I want some, and that's that!

22
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,330
Where am I going to find
gingerbread for you?

23
00:01:06,430 --> 00:01:08,419
We don't even have any money.

24
00:01:09,719 --> 00:01:11,809
Find it anywhere you like.

25
00:01:12,209 --> 00:01:14,329
Now I'm supposed to serve
her up gingerbread. Phooey!

26
00:01:17,979 --> 00:01:19,580
I've had enough of that old woman!

27
00:01:19,681 --> 00:01:21,581
Do cheer up, old man!

28
00:01:21,909 --> 00:01:25,189
How am I supposed to cheer up? I'm
supposed to serve her gingerbread, see!

29
00:01:25,289 --> 00:01:26,580
Don't worry.

30
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,150
She'll have gingerbread.

31
00:01:28,250 --> 00:01:30,690
I'll lay an egg for you,
and not just any egg!

32
00:01:41,210 --> 00:01:43,420
Now you, old man, roll
the egg along the table,

33
00:01:45,490 --> 00:01:48,809
and the table will be set with
lordly food and kingly drink.

34
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,939
Come, light of my life.
The gingerbread is served!

35
00:02:00,740 --> 00:02:02,000
Oh!

36
00:02:04,430 --> 00:02:06,330
Dry gingerbread only
scratches the mouth -

37
00:02:06,430 --> 00:02:07,800
some coffee's needed!

38
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:12,600
Oh, wow!

39
00:02:14,350 --> 00:02:16,229
And what is this wonder?

40
00:02:17,729 --> 00:02:20,869
See, Ryaba laid it. It's magic.

41
00:02:29,310 --> 00:02:30,639
Here.

42
00:02:31,139 --> 00:02:32,810
Give Ryaba a treat.

43
00:02:33,210 --> 00:02:36,339
Here, eat it.
The old woman's giving you a treat.

44
00:02:36,439 --> 00:02:38,469
Well, thanks for that much, at least.

45
00:02:38,669 --> 00:02:41,749
And they began to live happily,
knowing no need or sorrow.

46
00:02:41,849 --> 00:02:44,749
Their table bowed under the
weight of the food on it daily.

47
00:02:44,849 --> 00:02:47,119
Eat, drink - it's all right here,

48
00:02:47,219 --> 00:02:49,279
everything your heart desires!

49
00:02:49,379 --> 00:02:52,009
Then the old man was
overcome with curiosity:

50
00:02:52,109 --> 00:02:54,739
how do the folks around him live?

51
00:02:59,579 --> 00:03:02,519
One day, the old man took
the ship's spyglass from the cat

52
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,129
and went out into the yard
to look out at the world.

53
00:03:13,079 --> 00:03:14,319
Yeah...

54
00:03:14,419 --> 00:03:17,849
Other people's houses are
no match for our hut.

55
00:03:23,250 --> 00:03:24,850
Come on, now... eh?

56
00:03:29,301 --> 00:03:31,351
Oh, wow!

57
00:03:32,652 --> 00:03:36,052
Ah... ah-ah-ah!

58
00:03:39,129 --> 00:03:42,089
Just look at the mansion
we've got now, eh?

59
00:03:42,739 --> 00:03:43,939
A fine hut, yet bare inside.

60
00:03:44,039 --> 00:03:45,399
It needs furnishing!

61
00:03:47,249 --> 00:03:49,969
The old woman also wanted
to have a look at the city.

62
00:03:50,069 --> 00:03:52,609
And there, in those tower-houses,

63
00:03:52,709 --> 00:03:56,629
there was furniture and finery
beyond counting!

64
00:03:56,729 --> 00:03:58,129
Oh, wow!

65
00:04:00,029 --> 00:04:01,459
The old woman had a good glance,

66
00:04:01,559 --> 00:04:05,129
and decided to furnish
her home in the urban style.

67
00:04:05,230 --> 00:04:06,730
Come on...

68
00:04:37,531 --> 00:04:39,131
You... hey... be careful...

69
00:04:39,299 --> 00:04:42,529
It was as if the old woman saw herself
from outside for the first time.

70
00:04:42,629 --> 00:04:44,059
What was she wearing?!

71
00:04:44,159 --> 00:04:45,639
Just a bunch of hand-me-downs!

72
00:04:57,959 --> 00:05:00,059
Practically rags!

73
00:05:02,209 --> 00:05:03,889
She quickly glanced
into the spyglass -

74
00:05:03,989 --> 00:05:06,199
what outfits are in fashion
there, these days?

75
00:05:06,300 --> 00:05:09,700
Oh, wow! Oh...

76
00:05:32,079 --> 00:05:34,909
You wouldn't <i>believe</i> the
things I saw out there!

77
00:05:35,909 --> 00:05:39,289
Upon seeing such splendor,
the old woman was seized with envy.

78
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:44,249
In no time at all, she created
an urban wardrobe for herself!

79
00:05:44,399 --> 00:05:46,249
And dressed herself in
a dress so elegant,

80
00:05:46,349 --> 00:05:48,289
that it was almost royal!

81
00:05:48,689 --> 00:05:51,489
And she herself looked like a queen.

82
00:05:52,889 --> 00:05:56,859
She garbed everyone in ceremonial
attire, in the royal style.

83
00:06:13,229 --> 00:06:16,489
And she placed Ryaba in a gilded cage,

84
00:06:16,689 --> 00:06:18,479
so that nobody would steal her.

85
00:06:23,103 --> 00:06:26,469
The mouse, too, furnished her hole
in the manner of her hosts,

86
00:06:27,269 --> 00:06:29,099
all in the urban style.

87
00:07:04,879 --> 00:07:07,469
Well, happy house-warming, I guess...
we seem to be sitting pretty!

88
00:07:07,970 --> 00:07:08,970
Hm!

89
00:07:37,749 --> 00:07:39,049
Time passed,

90
00:07:39,099 --> 00:07:41,439
and everything was good,

91
00:07:41,789 --> 00:07:44,749
only one day, the old woman noticed
that around them

92
00:07:45,149 --> 00:07:47,478
houses were sprouting like mushrooms!

93
00:07:47,578 --> 00:07:50,529
And she decided that she, too,
wanted to live in a skyscraper.

94
00:07:56,369 --> 00:07:58,339
Just look at those houses!

95
00:07:58,439 --> 00:08:01,759
But our... you know...
mansion's not any worse!

96
00:08:03,609 --> 00:08:06,209
I want a palace that reaches the sky!

97
00:08:15,009 --> 00:08:17,639
Now my little soul is satisfied!

98
00:08:45,389 --> 00:08:47,539
Old man, there's someone there!

99
00:08:55,829 --> 00:08:59,289
Oh... don't worry... that's...
just the mouse fooling around!

100
00:09:05,689 --> 00:09:08,989
"I've got everything,"
thought the mouse,

101
00:09:09,089 --> 00:09:11,339
"except for the magic egg."

102
00:09:12,389 --> 00:09:16,209
And she decided to take the
egg into her mousehole.

103
00:09:36,560 --> 00:09:37,560
Oh.

104
00:09:40,062 --> 00:09:41,559
Everything vanished as
if it had never existed -

105
00:09:41,659 --> 00:09:44,879
the lordly clothes and
the royal chambers.

106
00:09:45,129 --> 00:09:47,400
All their wealth melted away

107
00:09:47,500 --> 00:09:49,589
like the mist on a clear morning.

108
00:09:49,689 --> 00:09:54,139
And the old man and the old woman were
left without a penny to their name.

109
00:10:35,229 --> 00:10:38,839
So they began living
again just as before:

110
00:10:38,939 --> 00:10:40,979
not worrying about tomorrow,

111
00:10:41,079 --> 00:10:43,329
and not grieving over yesterday.
