00:00:12,847 --> 00:00:14,094
Go, Yuriy!

5
00:00:30,710 --> 00:00:33,455
I'm taking a decisive step in life.

6
00:00:33,540 --> 00:00:38,240
I'm singing a song about Flying Mice* 
*(as Bats are called in many languages).

7
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,640
I'll say with conviction
at the very beginning

8
00:00:41,694 --> 00:00:43,934
that mice have never flown.

9
00:00:47,140 --> 00:00:51,580
- Let the author in! The author!
- We'll manage on our own.

10
00:00:51,852 --> 00:00:54,966
Don't yank the door open.
Go on, play, sing!

11
00:00:56,901 --> 00:00:58,406
Play, you!

00:02:07,318 --> 00:02:10,414
I'm taking a decisive step in life.

19
00:02:10,874 --> 00:02:13,883
I'm singing a song about flying mice.

20
00:02:14,442 --> 00:02:17,524
I'll say with conviction
at the very beginning,

21
00:02:17,816 --> 00:02:22,350
that mice have never flown.

22
00:02:22,457 --> 00:02:24,097
They haven't.

23
00:02:26,075 --> 00:02:29,320
They used to, all quiet-like -
"shur-shur" and "murr-mur" -

24
00:02:29,784 --> 00:02:32,936
run around in the basement
and eat cheese.

25
00:02:33,141 --> 00:02:36,756
They would slowly steal cheese

26
00:02:37,066 --> 00:02:41,628
from Uncle Semyon in the cold basement.

27
00:02:41,951 --> 00:02:44,601
From Uncle Semyon in the basement.

28
00:02:50,318 --> 00:02:52,661
But Uncle Semyon was tough and smart.

29
00:02:52,738 --> 00:02:54,904
Tough and smart, tough and smart.

30
00:02:55,011 --> 00:02:57,215
And these mice he disliked.

31
00:02:57,295 --> 00:02:59,075
He didn't like them.

32
00:02:59,467 --> 00:03:01,702
He used to scream when he saw mice:

33
00:03:01,782 --> 00:03:04,062
He-ey, he-ey!

34
00:03:04,176 --> 00:03:06,756
Get 'em, boys, get 'em outta here!

35
00:03:06,830 --> 00:03:08,543
Get 'em outta here!

36
00:03:12,738 --> 00:03:15,193
One day, Dementius, a helpful neighbor,

37
00:03:15,267 --> 00:03:17,380
a helpful neighbor,

38
00:03:17,707 --> 00:03:20,070
Gave Uncle Semyon some kind advice,

39
00:03:20,203 --> 00:03:22,140
some kind advice.

40
00:03:22,655 --> 00:03:25,009
Go and get yourself a cat, Senya.

41
00:03:25,126 --> 00:03:27,381
- A cat?
- Yes, yes, a cat.

42
00:03:27,822 --> 00:03:30,408
Cats, Dementius, are boring,

43
00:03:30,543 --> 00:03:32,498
are boring.

44
00:03:32,540 --> 00:03:35,800
I'll manage without a cat,
I'll think of something,

45
00:03:35,820 --> 00:03:41,180
When they're in reach of my "hot hand"* 
*feel his bad side

46
00:03:55,327 --> 00:03:58,716
But the mice, all quiet-like -
"shur-shur" and "murr-mur" -

47
00:03:59,321 --> 00:04:04,144
still ate the tempting cheese,
like before.

48
00:04:07,870 --> 00:04:11,419
Semyon was sad:
"Ah, my bread's gone missing."

49
00:04:12,105 --> 00:04:15,469
And he warmed his right hand
over the stove.

50
00:04:16,464 --> 00:04:19,847
Down to the cellar he went,
grumbling, muttering.

51
00:04:20,813 --> 00:04:26,123
Oh, mice, you just wait -
the hand is hot!

52
00:04:27,629 --> 00:04:31,039
Oh, mice, you watch out,
I'm not so simple as you think!

53
00:04:35,665 --> 00:04:39,450
And immediately he caught
the mice by their tails.

54
00:04:42,580 --> 00:04:46,607
And, warming his big hand over the stove,

55
00:04:46,860 --> 00:04:52,590
he sat and contemplated
the matter for a long time.

56
00:04:53,281 --> 00:04:58,301
The matter, the matter...
What matter?

57
00:05:00,561 --> 00:05:02,948
Bingo! Music!

58
00:05:06,883 --> 00:05:10,363
Then he thought of something,
and shook off his boot,

59
00:05:11,028 --> 00:05:15,236
And with a knife he cut out a
piece of leather. - That's it!

60
00:05:15,370 --> 00:05:19,040
He cut out some thingabobs
out of the leather.

61
00:05:19,072 --> 00:05:24,425
However you turned them,
they looked rather wing-like.

62
00:05:24,500 --> 00:05:28,528
He cut out some thingabobs
out of the leather.

63
00:05:28,818 --> 00:05:33,617
However you turned them,
they looked rather wing-like.

64
00:05:35,474 --> 00:05:37,094
"GLUE"

65
00:05:37,342 --> 00:05:40,834
I'm not gonna lie,
I speak from the heart.

66
00:05:41,356 --> 00:05:44,936
He took those wings,
and glued them to the mice.

67
00:05:45,507 --> 00:05:51,775
Then he laughed:
"Winged ones, shoo!"

68
00:05:52,326 --> 00:06:00,186
And ...bats... flew up into the sky!

69
00:06:00,836 --> 00:06:03,560
Shoo! Shoo!

70
00:06:03,961 --> 00:06:06,567
Shoo! Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!

71
00:06:12,940 --> 00:06:17,840
And then all the bats
crossed the sky in an arc,

72
00:06:17,987 --> 00:06:20,395
the sky in an arc,

73
00:06:20,643 --> 00:06:23,502
took off, disappeared one after the other.

74
00:06:23,608 --> 00:06:25,617
one after the other.

75
00:06:26,467 --> 00:06:29,200
Semyon said, gazing after them:

76
00:06:32,214 --> 00:06:35,271
I once had a boot, but I have one no more.

77
00:06:35,533 --> 00:06:37,405
It is no more.

78
00:06:38,185 --> 00:06:41,247
But I won't begrudge a boot
for a job that needs doing.

79
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,814
Footwear's not too expensive these days.

80
00:06:54,990 --> 00:06:58,357
Well, brothers,
you've been rather creative.

81
00:06:58,576 --> 00:07:00,823
I'd never think of anything like that.

82
00:07:12,271 --> 00:07:15,962
May you have joy and wings, my friend!

83
00:07:16,732 --> 00:07:18,996
To you, good friend!

84
00:07:20,136 --> 00:07:24,015
and magical fairy tales,
plus a chest full of songs!

85
00:07:25,537 --> 00:07:26,953
A whole chest!
