A story by Valeriy Ronshin

6
00:00:21,105 --> 00:00:28,805
The Tale of a Poor Fisherman, His
Daughter Mashenka, an Ugly Beast,
Major Sidorchuk and... an Eaten Princess

7
00:00:30,956 --> 00:00:36,506
Once upon a time, on the shore of the
deep blue sea there lived a poor fisherman
and his daughter Mashenka.

8
00:00:36,807 --> 00:00:40,907
One day he went fishing
and caught a small fish

9
00:00:43,008 --> 00:00:48,758
then another one, a little bigger.

10
00:00:52,759 --> 00:00:56,859
And after a while he landed...

11
00:00:57,310 --> 00:01:02,310
...the Sea Beast.

12
00:01:04,061 --> 00:01:07,611
Well, well... I've been sleeping
on the seabed for 300,000 years

13
00:01:07,712 --> 00:01:09,512
and no one dared to touch me.

14
00:01:10,713 --> 00:01:14,013
And you came here and woke me up!

15
00:01:14,114 --> 00:01:16,014
Have mercy on me, Sea Beast!

16
00:01:16,115 --> 00:01:18,815
I've got my little daughter Mashenka
waiting for me at home.

17
00:01:19,716 --> 00:01:24,516
Very well, bring her to me.
I'll gorge on her!

18
00:01:26,267 --> 00:01:32,517
There was nothing for it. The poor
fisherman went home to get Mashenka.

19
00:01:33,018 --> 00:01:38,518
There he goes crying bitterly.

20
00:01:38,969 --> 00:01:43,119
Now, near his house
there was a military base.

21
00:01:43,420 --> 00:01:48,320
The base commander was
Sidorchuk, Fyodor Trofimych

22
00:01:48,721 --> 00:01:55,321
He was a small major
with a big moustache.

23
00:01:55,872 --> 00:01:57,022
Good morning, sir!

24
00:01:57,123 --> 00:01:59,123
How are you getting along?

25
00:01:59,574 --> 00:02:02,424
The fisherman told him everything

26
00:02:03,275 --> 00:02:07,325
and burst into even more tears.

27
00:02:07,576 --> 00:02:10,626
Be-lay that! There's no use
crying over spilt milk.

28
00:02:10,777 --> 00:02:12,127
You think...

29
00:02:12,228 --> 00:02:15,928
I never think.
I'm already sure of everything.

30
00:02:18,529 --> 00:02:23,000
After saying that, the brave major
took the poor fisherman to his base.

31
00:02:23,451 --> 00:02:26,101
There he chose the very biggest bomb,

32
00:02:26,202 --> 00:02:30,202
drew a nose, mouth and
eyes on the warhead,

33
00:02:30,303 --> 00:02:33,203
crowned it all with a coloured kerchief.

34
00:02:33,604 --> 00:02:40,304
It was the very image of the fisherman's
daughter Mashenka, but thicker.

35
00:02:44,105 --> 00:02:45,505
SEA PRAVDA

36
00:02:45,606 --> 00:02:47,506
Who are you?

37
00:02:48,257 --> 00:02:49,507
Major Sidorchuk!

38
00:02:49,608 --> 00:02:53,708
25 years of faultless service in the
Armed Forces of the Russian Federation!

39
00:02:54,259 --> 00:02:57,909
Look at you... what a big shot!

40
00:02:58,110 --> 00:03:00,910
And is the fisherman's
daughter with you?

41
00:03:01,161 --> 00:03:02,911
Yes, sir!

42
00:03:07,762 --> 00:03:11,512
All of a sudden, the Beast opened wide
his sharp-toothed mouth,

43
00:03:11,613 --> 00:03:14,813
clanged his iron jaws,

44
00:03:14,914 --> 00:03:21,014
and bit the bomb through like a blade
of grass, and the motorcycle with it.

45
00:03:23,015 --> 00:03:24,615
Ka-boom!

46
00:03:28,516 --> 00:03:32,316
Presto! At the place where
the Beast had been lying

47
00:03:32,767 --> 00:03:35,817
a beautiful girl was dancing on the waves

48
00:03:35,918 --> 00:03:38,018
with her mermaid tail.

49
00:03:38,119 --> 00:03:42,119
How her fish scales
sparkled in the sun!

50
00:03:43,020 --> 00:03:46,920
Oh, I'm so happy to be free again!

51
00:03:47,021 --> 00:03:52,621
That ugly beast swallowed me
because I refused to be its wife.

52
00:03:54,022 --> 00:03:58,000
Marry me, stalwart knight, if you wish.

53
00:03:58,401 --> 00:04:01,101
You seem to be a good chap.

54
00:04:02,852 --> 00:04:04,902
You'll become the Sea King.

55
00:04:05,003 --> 00:04:09,403
The previous one, my Daddy, is long
since singing songs in the next world.

56
00:04:09,504 --> 00:04:12,104
Cuckoo-cuckoo.

57
00:04:13,305 --> 00:04:16,405
Fyodor Trofimych looked over
his new-found bride

58
00:04:16,806 --> 00:04:19,056
and found her good.

59
00:04:19,157 --> 00:04:22,557
Besides, say what you will,
it's better to be the Sea King

60
00:04:22,658 --> 00:04:26,058
than a major, even one who
commands a military base.

61
00:04:26,659 --> 00:04:29,059
All right, I'll take it.

62
00:04:29,860 --> 00:04:33,860
There and then his uniform streamed
down from him like water,

63
00:04:34,311 --> 00:04:37,661
and his whole body became covered
with fish scales.

64
00:04:38,662 --> 00:04:41,462
And, taking the hand of the princess,

65
00:04:41,563 --> 00:04:45,663
the former major disappeared into
the depths of the sea.

66
00:04:49,964 --> 00:04:53,864
And the poor fisherman,
on hearing the massive explosion,

67
00:04:53,965 --> 00:04:57,165
said didactically to his
daughter Mashenka:

68
00:04:57,266 --> 00:05:03,266
That's it, Mashka. Fyodor
Trofimych has died like a hero

69
00:05:03,967 --> 00:05:07,967
saving your young life.

70
00:05:08,068 --> 00:05:10,768
Remember him!

71
00:05:12,619 --> 00:05:16,869
And Mashenka always
remembered her saviour.

72
00:05:17,070 --> 00:05:20,120
And when it was time for her to marry,

73
00:05:20,221 --> 00:05:25,521
she found not just a husband,
but a major,

74
00:05:26,022 --> 00:05:29,222
small and with a moustache.

75
00:05:30,823 --> 00:05:33,423
Ah, Fyodor Trofimych!

76
00:05:33,974 --> 00:05:36,824
Mashenka?! My name's Nikolay Makarych!

77
00:05:37,825 --> 00:05:42,125
I will always love you,
Fyodor Trofimych!

78
00:05:42,926 --> 00:05:45,026
