00:00:11,050 --> 00:00:12,370
Present

4
00:00:15,010 --> 00:00:16,970
We live in Russia.

5
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:21,840
The Russian coat of arms is the golden
two-headed eagle, powerful and proud.

6
00:00:21,980 --> 00:00:24,290
In its center is St. George the Victorious

7
00:00:24,410 --> 00:00:27,650
slaying a wicked dragon with his silver lance.

8
00:00:28,930 --> 00:00:31,650
Russia's flag has three colors.

9
00:00:32,750 --> 00:00:36,220
The capital of our motherland
is the city of Moscow.

10
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,920
Russia is the largest country in the world.

11
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:39,970
Many different nations live on its territory

12
00:00:40,050 --> 00:00:42,260
Many different nations live on its territory

13
00:00:42,390 --> 00:00:45,810
each with its own customs and traditions.

14
00:00:45,970 --> 00:00:49,140
Since ancient times on the banks
the great river Volga

15
00:00:49,220 --> 00:00:52,390
live the Tatars, a courageous
and hardworking people

16
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,980
Tatarstan's coat of arms carries
a winged snow leopard.

17
00:00:56,100 --> 00:00:58,980
Its capital is the ancient city Kazan.

18
00:00:59,100 --> 00:01:00,840
In its center is a fortress

19
00:01:00,970 --> 00:01:03,620
with the famous tower of Queen Soyembika.

20
00:01:03,750 --> 00:01:07,740
The Tatars cherish the secrets and traditions
of ancient crafts.

21
00:01:07,910 --> 00:01:10,060
and they know how to combine
work and fun.

22
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,940
The oldest Tatar holiday Is called Sabantuy.

23
00:01:16,020 --> 00:01:20,320
During the festivities there are a lot of
cheerful competitions, dances and songs

24
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:31,190
and also, of course, they tell
wonderful folk tales.

25
00:01:31,430 --> 00:01:35,960
Each one is like a precious gem.

26
00:01:39,950 --> 00:01:41,930
MOUNTAIN OF GEMS

27
00:01:55,990 --> 00:02:01,320
Once, long, long ago,
there lived a khan...

28
00:02:01,410 --> 00:02:03,100
THE INTERPRETATION OF DREAMS

29
00:02:03,220 --> 00:02:06,560
He was a kind and just ruler.

30
00:02:08,180 --> 00:02:09,410
But one day...

31
00:02:13,450 --> 00:02:14,710
one day...

32
00:02:15,930 --> 00:02:18,230
he dreamed that he had become...

33
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:20,780
AN ASS!

34
00:02:25,540 --> 00:02:30,320
"What happened, my Lord?"
The vizier asked the khan

35
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,680
Oh, heavens! I had a horrible nightmare!

36
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:35,980
May your fears abate. He-he-he...

37
00:02:36,060 --> 00:02:40,350
How on earth could something
bad happen to the Great Khan?

38
00:02:44,870 --> 00:02:47,710
It must be said that this vizier

39
00:02:47,790 --> 00:02:50,310
was a dishonest man .

40
00:02:50,510 --> 00:02:54,550
and stole everything that caught
his eyes from the khan.

41
00:02:54,750 --> 00:02:56,820
On that particular dark night

42
00:02:56,950 --> 00:03:02,240
the vizier was still awake because
he was waiting for a messenger.

43
00:03:09,620 --> 00:03:12,500
Did you bring what I ordered?

44
00:03:12,630 --> 00:03:14,590
I brought it, my Lord.

45
00:03:14,780 --> 00:03:18,600
Here is the reward for your trouble...
He he he!

46
00:03:25,810 --> 00:03:28,360
Oh, good!

47
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,300
When morning came,
the khan woke up,

48
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,100
and a normal day began.

49
00:04:26,300 --> 00:04:32,530
At that time a foreign visitor
arrived in the city.

50
00:04:33,970 --> 00:04:37,600
Hear you all, a great sage of India,

51
00:04:37,690 --> 00:04:40,840
a famous interpreter of dreams has come!

52
00:04:44,730 --> 00:04:48,850
Hurry, find out what your dreams mean!

53
00:04:49,050 --> 00:04:51,640
Hurry up and ask the wise man!

54
00:04:51,730 --> 00:04:53,320
One day only!

55
00:04:53,500 --> 00:04:55,950
Find out the whole truth about your dreams!

56
00:04:56,030 --> 00:04:57,070
Come!

57
00:04:57,150 --> 00:05:01,170
Hurry, find out what your dreams mean!

58
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:19,790
That night the khan had the same horrible dream.

59
00:05:21,370 --> 00:05:24,310
The khan remembered what was
said about the Indian sage,

60
00:05:24,390 --> 00:05:25,560
and he decided

61
00:05:26,110 --> 00:05:28,550
to dress up in humble clothes

62
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,530
go to town and consult the sage

63
00:05:31,740 --> 00:05:35,310
about what these strange dreams
could mean.

64
00:05:35,430 --> 00:05:37,780
Hurry up and ask the wise man!

65
00:05:37,870 --> 00:05:39,520
One day only!

66
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,120
Find out the whole truth about your dreams!

67
00:05:42,260 --> 00:05:43,040
Come!

68
00:05:43,170 --> 00:05:47,510
Hurry, find out what your dreams mean!

69
00:05:47,670 --> 00:05:51,390
Now the great sage of India is here,

70
00:05:51,540 --> 00:05:54,720
the famous interpreter of dreams!

71
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:08,570
"I know what your dream means,"
said the sage

72
00:06:09,140 --> 00:06:11,920
A great misfortune awaits you.

73
00:06:12,100 --> 00:06:13,320
You will become...

74
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:14,980
an ass!

75
00:06:15,050 --> 00:06:18,700
Only one thing can save you:

76
00:06:19,310 --> 00:06:24,380
You must... steal something

77
00:06:24,460 --> 00:06:26,890
Steal? But I am an honest man,
I do not know how to steal!

78
00:06:26,970 --> 00:06:28,310
If you will not steal...

79
00:06:28,390 --> 00:06:33,080
You'll become an ass. You'll become an ass.
You'll become an ass!

80
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,320
Outside the khan saw kids stealing at the market.

81
00:06:37,550 --> 00:06:40,220
and even the elephant did not keep
his hands clean...

82
00:06:40,310 --> 00:06:43,990
so he decided to steal the largest melon.

83
00:06:46,490 --> 00:06:49,360
Satan! What did you grab my head for?

84
00:06:50,580 --> 00:06:54,020
Good man, buy this hen from a
poor blacksmith!

85
00:06:54,170 --> 00:06:56,490
I can't think of hens right now!

86
00:07:00,990 --> 00:07:03,890
"Maybe I can steal something
from that basket?"

87
00:07:09,090 --> 00:07:11,080
Again he failed!

88
00:07:13,370 --> 00:07:18,020
Night came and the market closed.

89
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:27,960
The khan became very sad:
"Now I'm bound to become an ass"

90
00:07:28,100 --> 00:07:31,200
Good man, please buy this hen,
or else I won't have enough to feed my children

91
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,970
I can't think of hens right now!

92
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,160
What do you want, passer-by?

93
00:07:45,980 --> 00:07:47,830
Good man, please buy this hen

94
00:07:47,910 --> 00:07:53,960
A hen? A fat hen... Wait now,
I'll get some money.

95
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,910
Alright, I'll wait.

96
00:08:13,290 --> 00:08:15,700
Where is my money? Hey, sir.

97
00:08:15,790 --> 00:08:18,760
There will be no money.
Your hen flew away!

98
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:20,770
Hens don't fly!

99
00:08:20,850 --> 00:08:22,020
Sure they do!

100
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,520
Scoundrel! Give me back my chicken.
Give it back!

101
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,990
Go away or I'll set the dogs on you!

102
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,520
Aah, I got cheated upon!

103
00:08:35,540 --> 00:08:38,640
And you, why are you still sitting here,
good man?

104
00:08:38,780 --> 00:08:41,940
Ill fate awaits me!
If I don't steal something...

105
00:08:42,090 --> 00:08:44,710
I will turn into an ass,
so said the sage.

106
00:08:44,790 --> 00:08:48,870
And so, from the dishonest rich man,
they decided to steal...

107
00:08:49,570 --> 00:08:54,320
the hen. His own hen, and no one else's.

108
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:15,050
Meanwhile the rich man was being
visited by the vizier

109
00:09:15,130 --> 00:09:18,440
who was finishing off that very hen.

110
00:09:18,660 --> 00:09:21,020
The vizier said to the rich man:

111
00:09:21,090 --> 00:09:23,960
Tomorrow our khan's having a big feast.

112
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:25,420
There will be many guests.

113
00:09:25,570 --> 00:09:27,940
In an unnoticed moment you'll pour the
khan this brew

114
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,760
and he'll become a donkey!

115
00:09:31,930 --> 00:09:37,060
Then I will be the khan and you, moneybags,
will be my vizier.

116
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,830
Trouble... awaits... our...

117
00:09:58,910 --> 00:10:00,580
....What?

118
00:10:00,660 --> 00:10:03,670
...good khan!
The Vizier wants to give him a potion

119
00:10:03,750 --> 00:10:06,280
that will change him... into an ass.

120
00:10:06,430 --> 00:10:09,030
We must warn our Lord.

121
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,230
Yes, let's meet tomorrow at the
palace and tell everything to the khan.

122
00:10:12,300 --> 00:10:14,990
Uh, not that way!
- No, other way...

123
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,520
There was a great feast at the palace

124
00:10:31,590 --> 00:10:34,260
and many guests had come.

125
00:10:38,590 --> 00:10:43,150
The treacherous vizier and the rich man
were waiting for the opportunity

126
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:47,810
to mix the magic potion
into the khan's drink.

127
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:52,460
The blacksmith saw that his friend
from yesterday was not an ordinary man

128
00:10:52,540 --> 00:10:53,700
but the Great Khan.

129
00:10:53,780 --> 00:10:55,650
And the khan set down his cup

130
00:10:55,860 --> 00:10:57,710
and ordered to let the blacksmith come in!

131
00:10:57,790 --> 00:11:01,990
Forgive me, Great Khan.
I did not know who you were.

132
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,360
Come. Be my guest of honor.

133
00:11:05,930 --> 00:11:09,460
Here, pick up your... sledgehammer

134
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:10,330
Thank you.

135
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:14,220
And just then, the vizier and the rich man mixed

136
00:11:14,430 --> 00:11:18,850
their awful concoction into the cup of the khan.

137
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:25,440
The khan seated his friend in the place of honor.

138
00:11:25,620 --> 00:11:29,260
He looks, and sees that there's
poison in his cup.

139
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:34,690
I hear and obey.

140
00:11:51,570 --> 00:11:54,740
The sage distracted the treacherous vizier

141
00:11:54,820 --> 00:11:58,470
while the clever elephant swapped the cups.

142
00:12:02,950 --> 00:12:09,220
Well, thought the villains,
now the khan will become an ass.

143
00:12:11,300 --> 00:12:13,770
Now... now...

144
00:12:15,390 --> 00:12:19,220
And we'll become... we'll become...

145
00:12:22,670 --> 00:12:23,420
Become...

146
00:12:30,370 --> 00:12:33,830
Indeed, it panned out not at all
the way they expected!

147
00:12:44,070 --> 00:12:47,830
And for many years to come the
khan ruled the country fairly and justly.

148
00:12:48,050 --> 00:12:52,710
He made the humble blacksmith
his Grand Vizier

149
00:12:52,790 --> 00:12:57,100
and gave him a new hen.
