Doctor Aybolit's
Clinic

12
00:00:45,873 --> 00:00:49,911
Why does the kitten have a tail?

13
00:00:50,324 --> 00:00:53,778
Why does the calf have a tail?

14
00:00:54,053 --> 00:00:57,283
And I - an orphan -

15
00:00:57,713 --> 00:00:59,740
have no tail!

16
00:01:00,324 --> 00:01:02,971
Have pity on me, have pity!

17
00:01:03,091 --> 00:01:07,890
And glue a nice, long tail onto me!

18
00:01:08,882 --> 00:01:12,305
Alright, my dear, I'm ready,

19
00:01:12,531 --> 00:01:15,820
I've got all the tails you could want,

20
00:01:16,208 --> 00:01:19,628
I will help you, you orphan:

21
00:01:19,873 --> 00:01:23,717
I'll tie on four tails, if you want!

22
00:01:36,116 --> 00:01:38,124
Ah...

23
00:01:39,307 --> 00:01:41,818
Give me...

24
00:01:42,021 --> 00:01:44,722
...the peacock's!

25
00:01:45,125 --> 00:01:50,363
Gold, green, blue!

26
00:01:51,112 --> 00:01:54,478
What do you want a peacock's for?

27
00:01:54,632 --> 00:01:57,958
You had better take the goat's.

28
00:01:58,078 --> 00:02:02,910
I do not want the tails
of sheep and goats!

29
00:02:03,341 --> 00:02:05,895
Hand me the peacock's!

30
00:02:06,182 --> 00:02:09,438
Gold, green, blue!

31
00:02:09,790 --> 00:02:12,357
So I can stroll through the woods,

32
00:02:12,924 --> 00:02:15,862
ultra-fashionably dressed.

33
00:02:43,494 --> 00:02:45,661
As I stroll like a peacock

34
00:02:45,762 --> 00:02:47,862
Through the woods and the bogs,

35
00:02:47,981 --> 00:02:51,520
All the animal folk will exclaim:

36
00:02:51,640 --> 00:02:55,613
"Wow, who is that handsome lad there?"

37
00:02:55,733 --> 00:02:59,039
And the bears,
all the bears in the woods,

38
00:02:59,140 --> 00:03:02,090
Once they see my beautiful self,

39
00:03:02,209 --> 00:03:05,980
I am sure
the poor fools will be sorry

40
00:03:06,100 --> 00:03:10,630
That they don't
themselves have such a tail!

41
00:03:10,733 --> 00:03:15,750
There! Oh! Ooh! You!
Oh! Ah! Oh! Eh! Ooh! Ah!

42
00:03:23,391 --> 00:03:27,306
Oh, how fine you look,
You float by like a peacock!

43
00:03:27,426 --> 00:03:31,466
I had not recognized you,
And mistook you for a peacock.

44
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:36,320
Oh, what beauty there is
In a peacock's tail!

45
00:04:09,007 --> 00:04:11,315
Look there! Look there!

46
00:04:11,826 --> 00:04:13,733
What could that be?

47
00:04:13,834 --> 00:04:17,234
In a swamp, it shines like gold!

48
00:04:18,086 --> 00:04:22,330
Look! Look!

49
00:04:22,450 --> 00:04:25,612
It must be a fire-bird!

50
00:04:25,732 --> 00:04:30,232
The feathers on that bird
are made of pure gold.

51
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:35,087
It would be best, my pal,
if we could manage

52
00:04:35,411 --> 00:04:38,537
to catch it as soon as we can.

53
00:05:00,742 --> 00:05:04,424
Hunters caught our friend?

54
00:05:07,366 --> 00:05:10,143
The knock-kneed bear got into trouble?

55
00:05:12,579 --> 00:05:16,249
Alright, my dears, I'm going!

56
00:06:13,257 --> 00:06:15,378
- Ah!
- Oof!

57
00:07:21,772 --> 00:07:25,408
Why'd you tie that poor lad up?

58
00:07:25,734 --> 00:07:29,239
Could he be untied?

59
00:07:29,877 --> 00:07:32,511
Give us a ransom!

60
00:07:33,305 --> 00:07:35,333
As big as this!

61
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,065
Then, you can take him with you.

62
00:08:23,771 --> 00:08:27,593
We will not let our stomper
come to grief,

63
00:08:27,713 --> 00:08:31,433
And, working together, we'll get
our knock-kneed friend freed!

64
00:08:39,303 --> 00:08:42,874
With chestnuts and with nuts
our woods are filled,

65
00:08:42,994 --> 00:08:46,731
And berries, and apples
we also have in store!

66
00:09:02,375 --> 00:09:06,028
To buy our stomper's ransom,
we won't spare anything!

67
00:09:06,148 --> 00:09:09,909
We'll give it all to the hunters
for our friend!

68
00:09:17,938 --> 00:09:21,810
Take, then, hunters,
the gifts from the animals.

69
00:09:22,053 --> 00:09:26,747
And release our
stomper quickly!

70
00:09:59,597 --> 00:10:01,444
My dear friend,

71
00:10:01,641 --> 00:10:04,161
dressing up like a peacock

72
00:10:04,281 --> 00:10:07,874
really doesn't suit a bear!

73
00:10:14,053 --> 00:10:16,920
The End

74
00:10:17,021 --> 00:10:19,521
