2
00:00:11,430 --> 00:00:13,180
Don't be afraid!

3
00:00:13,460 --> 00:00:17,030
It's me -
the old spirit Mbla.

4
00:00:17,420 --> 00:00:22,770
I am a very old spirit.
People are always learning something new,

5
00:00:23,580 --> 00:00:28,670
but I got so old that I forgot
even what I knew before!

6
00:00:29,220 --> 00:00:34,640
I hid at the bottom of a dry well
in the very middle of Africa

7
00:00:34,700 --> 00:00:38,320
and got busy with one important thing:

8
00:00:38,850 --> 00:00:43,880
I pretend to be very busy
and that I have no time!

9
00:00:44,230 --> 00:00:48,260
That's the best way to hide

10
00:00:48,410 --> 00:00:53,270
that you know nothing,
and that you are ashamed.

11
00:00:53,840 --> 00:01:01,520
But one ancient story
I still remember!

12
00:01:02,230 --> 00:01:05,650
And now I will tell it...

13
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,020
Africa! Africa!

14
00:01:21,790 --> 00:01:26,060
On the shores of placid Lake Chad

15
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:32,550
since long ago have many different
birds and beasts settled.

16
00:01:33,210 --> 00:01:40,800
One day, the beasts and birds decided
to choose a king for themselves.

17
00:01:41,630 --> 00:01:45,600
"Keep in mind," said the beasts
and birds to the Lion,

18
00:01:45,860 --> 00:01:50,620
"You are now the King of Beasts
and you must try to be

19
00:01:50,910 --> 00:01:59,900
the most brave, the most strong,
the most wise and the most beautiful".

20
00:02:00,540 --> 00:02:03,690
I don't need to try!

21
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:08,140
If you chose me
to be the King of Beasts,

22
00:02:09,140 --> 00:02:11,420
then that is what I am!

23
00:02:11,710 --> 00:02:12,590

24
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:13,800

25

00:03:17,580 --> 00:03:21,350
Happy birthday!
I'm your mom.

42
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,320
Mom...

43
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,110
- And what am I?
- You are a dove, my little bird!

44
00:03:31,620 --> 00:03:34,140
Is that good - to be a dove?

45
00:03:34,810 --> 00:03:38,310
It's the best thing
in the world!

46
00:03:43,620 --> 00:03:48,540
Happy birthday!
I am your mother.

47
00:03:49,340 --> 00:03:51,350
And what am I?

48
00:03:51,810 --> 00:03:54,660
You're a crocodile, little one!

49
00:03:55,090 --> 00:03:59,990
Is that good - to be a crocodile?

50
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:04,990
It's the best thing
in the world!

51
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:10,310
And to the Lion
and his wife, the Lioness

52
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:16,630
a cub was also born.
But he didn't ask his mother anything,

53
00:04:17,340 --> 00:04:25,440
because lion cubs begin to see and hear
only on the twelfth day.

54
00:04:56,590 --> 00:04:59,870
- What are you?
- I'm a dove!

55
00:05:00,150 --> 00:05:02,620
And is that good - to be a dove?

56
00:05:02,750 --> 00:05:04,330
Look!

57
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,870
In that case,
I also want be a dove!

58
00:05:18,970 --> 00:05:21,530
- Let's fly!
- Let's fly!

59
00:05:43,700 --> 00:05:48,080
- What are you?
- I'm a dove!

60
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:53,080
No, no! He is not a dove at all!
He can't fly!

61
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:57,830
- And what are you?
- Me? A crocodile.

62
00:05:58,580 --> 00:06:02,360
And do you like it -
being a crocodile?

63
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,360
Look!

64
00:06:19,950 --> 00:06:25,840
In that case,
I will be a crocodile too.

65
00:06:27,090 --> 00:06:33,040
How will you be a crocodile
if you don't know how to swim?

66
00:06:35,020 --> 00:06:38,040
So what am I?

67
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,510
And what are you?

68
00:07:24,710 --> 00:07:28,060
How you scared me!
I am a Hyena.

69
00:07:28,290 --> 00:07:31,390
You are a Hyena?
And what am I?

70
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:35,560
You?... You are a Lion,

71
00:07:36,430 --> 00:07:38,450
...the King of Beasts.

72
00:07:38,551 --> 00:07:41,551
And is that good -
to be the King of Beasts?

73
00:07:44,430 --> 00:07:49,840
It's the best thing
in the world!

74
00:07:50,190 --> 00:07:52,590
because the King of Beasts...

75
00:07:52,810 --> 00:08:03,580
...is the most brave, the most strong,
the most wise and the most beautiful.

76
00:08:06,890 --> 00:08:10,400
- Why are you laughing?
- Because I'm nervous.

77
00:08:10,690 --> 00:08:15,530
When you grow up, don't forget
that it was I who first told you the truth,

78
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,750
Oh, ye most, most, most!
Is that clear?

79
00:08:22,750 --> 00:08:27,020
I am
the most, most, most, most!

80
00:08:45,140 --> 00:08:50,020
I am
the most, most, most, most!

81
00:08:50,710 --> 00:08:54,260
I'm busy, busy!
Busy!

82
00:08:54,700 --> 00:08:56,260
Busy!

83
00:08:56,470 --> 00:08:59,440
Who answers me?

84
00:09:00,410 --> 00:09:02,740
None of your business!

85
00:09:03,310 --> 00:09:07,810
- And what are you?
- Me? A lion.

86
00:09:08,500 --> 00:09:10,110
What?!

87
00:09:10,390 --> 00:09:15,890
The King of Beasts!
The most brave, the most strong,

88
00:09:16,690 --> 00:09:21,750
The most wise and the most beautiful!

89
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:33,730
You are the most dumb!
Go away, this is my well.

90
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:38,220
Say, None-of-your-business,
why did you call me the most dumb?

91
00:09:38,340 --> 00:09:42,070
I won't say. Think for yourself.
And if you don't understand,

92
00:09:42,710 --> 00:09:45,890
then go and ask...

93
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:51,070
...someone else. But I'm busy,
busy! Busy!

94
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,220
Busy!

95
00:10:28,190 --> 00:10:30,900
What was your aim in biting me?

96
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,690
Your tail!
And now I will get my breath back,

97
00:10:34,860 --> 00:10:37,450
and bite your nose!

98
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,950
Are you really not afraid of me?

99
00:10:41,220 --> 00:10:45,430
I'm not afraid of anyone!
I'm defending my anthill!

100
00:10:45,810 --> 00:10:49,500
Don't bite my nose!
I believe you.

101
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,680
You really are more brave than me.

102
00:10:54,020 --> 00:10:57,240
But I am the most strong!

103
00:10:59,850 --> 00:11:03,520
You are the most dumb!

104
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,760
Why do you, too, think
that I'm the most dumb?

105
00:11:09,110 --> 00:11:12,790
Tell me, o brave Ant...

106
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,150
I won't tell! Think for yourself.

107
00:11:16,430 --> 00:11:23,220
And if you don't understand, then find
the bald Elephant and ask him about it,

108
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,880
if he wants to talk to you!

109
00:11:41,990 --> 00:11:44,850
Look back!

110
00:11:46,560 --> 00:11:49,460
Speak louder.

111
00:11:49,900 --> 00:11:52,250
Hello!

112
00:11:56,610 --> 00:11:59,760
He heard you.

113
00:12:03,100 --> 00:12:06,390
He noticed you.

114
00:12:10,130 --> 00:12:13,930
He is not angry with you.

115
00:12:17,350 --> 00:12:20,410
He greets you.

116
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:24,500
Answer.

117
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:28,800
I am a Lion, the King of Beasts!
The most strong!

118
00:12:29,180 --> 00:12:32,050
Be quiet!

119
00:12:53,060 --> 00:12:54,910
Mom!..

120
00:13:11,550 --> 00:13:15,960
- You saved me...
- Don't thank me.

121
00:13:17,740 --> 00:13:22,950
Did you understand why
the bald Elephant got angry with you?

122
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,740
I understood, I understood...

123
00:13:26,030 --> 00:13:29,780
...that I am not the most brave
or the most strong.

124
00:13:30,020 --> 00:13:33,900
However, I am the most wise
and the most beautiful!

125
00:13:38,680 --> 00:13:44,120
We eagles rise so high
into the sky

126
00:13:45,190 --> 00:13:48,280
that we touch the sun
with our wing.

127
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:54,080
There is nothing above
except the sun,

128
00:13:55,130 --> 00:13:59,200
but from there you can see far...

129
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,850
Listen and remember:

130
00:14:06,300 --> 00:14:11,090
Don't say you're the most brave...
you will meet someone braver.

131
00:14:12,110 --> 00:14:17,490
Don't say you're the most strong...
you will meet someone stronger.

132
00:14:18,170 --> 00:14:23,420
- Don't say you're the most wise...
- I will meet someone wiser.

133
00:14:25,060 --> 00:14:33,000
You understood me. And that's
the best thanks for your rescue.

134
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,590
Goodbye!

135
00:14:42,230 --> 00:14:46,780
I forgot to ask
who is the most beautiful!

136
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:32,560
And hearing the Lion's roar,
beasts and birds ran up and flew over

137
00:15:32,620 --> 00:15:36,640
to the shores of placid Lake Chad.

138
00:15:41,290 --> 00:15:44,720
Listen, and remember
what I will tell you:

139
00:15:44,890 --> 00:15:50,440
If any of you call me
the most, most...

140
00:15:51,130 --> 00:15:57,130
Was it not you who said that
our Lion is the most, most, most...?

141
00:15:57,900 --> 00:15:59,510
Uh-huh...

142
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:08,480
Was it not you who said
that our Lion is the most, most...?

143
00:16:15,260 --> 00:16:19,140
If any of you say to me,

144
00:16:19,270 --> 00:16:25,340
that I am the most brave, the most strong,
the most wise and the most beautiful,

145
00:16:25,710 --> 00:16:29,090
I will tear that one to pieces!

146
00:16:38,550 --> 00:16:42,670
Oh mighty Lion,
king of beasts and birds!

147
00:16:46,190 --> 00:16:53,360
I fell in love with you at first sight
and want to be your wife.

148
00:17:43,570 --> 00:17:46,980
I fell in love with you at first sight.

149
00:17:47,700 --> 00:17:51,980
You can tear me to pieces,

150
00:17:52,470 --> 00:17:58,260
However, I will still say:
you are the most beautiful!

151
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,450
Don't be afraid!

152
00:18:01,660 --> 00:18:06,800
The mighty Lion did not tear
the young Lioness to pieces.

153
00:18:07,540 --> 00:18:14,220
He just smiled at her
with an embarrassed smile - like this.

154
00:18:15,170 --> 00:18:19,220
Because he understood
that the one you love

155
00:18:20,030 --> 00:18:26,620
...is always
the most, most, most, most...

156
00:18:28,930 --> 00:18:32,070
And now - go away!

157
00:18:32,730 --> 00:18:35,590
This is my well.

158
00:18:36,750 --> 00:18:39,710
THE END
