HERON AND CRANE

8
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,360
Once upon a time
there lived a lanky Crane,

9
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:43,280
And not so far away,

10
00:00:43,480 --> 00:00:47,760
there lived long-nosed Heron.

11
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,480
The Heron glanced at the Crane

12
00:00:50,533 --> 00:00:52,466
and laughed to herself:

13
00:00:52,533 --> 00:00:55,410
What a clumsy fellow he is!

14
00:01:08,946 --> 00:01:11,906
Maybe I should propose to the Heron.

15
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,360
She looks like she could be from our Crane Family.

16
00:01:19,506 --> 00:01:20,920
she has the same kind of beak.

17
00:01:20,973 --> 00:01:22,760
and her legs are fairly long.

18
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,920
Are you home, Miss Heron?

19
00:01:48,933 --> 00:01:52,906
Yes, yes, yes ... She's here.

20
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,493
What do you want?

21
00:02:17,133 --> 00:02:19,133
Will you marry me?

22
00:02:28,426 --> 00:02:33,400
Will I marry you ... you beanpole?!
What were you thinking?

23
00:02:38,386 --> 00:02:40,120
Your clothes are too short

24
00:02:40,180 --> 00:02:42,706
and all you do is walk all the time
 - you never fly -

25
00:02:42,746 --> 00:02:44,493
and you're so tight with money

26
00:02:44,653 --> 00:02:47,480
that I will probably starve in the nest...

27
00:02:47,573 --> 00:02:50,213
... And ... and ... oh,

28
00:02:50,413 --> 00:02:52,946
Why did I refuse him?

29
00:03:12,586 --> 00:03:18,813
Why? ... Why did I tell him 'no'.

30
00:03:24,920 --> 00:03:28,760
He comes from a good family ...

31
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,840
and they call him ... a snappy dresser....

32
00:03:47,933 --> 00:03:52,106
and he does have a fine head of feathers.

33
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,200
Well, Crane, I will marry you.

34
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,440
No, Heron,

35
00:04:06,093 --> 00:04:08,760
I've already changed my mind 
about marrying you,

36
00:04:08,853 --> 00:04:12,040
Go back to where you came from.

37
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,680
Hearing these words,
the Heron went away.

38
00:04:26,186 --> 00:04:29,960
But the crane now, regretted turning her down

39
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,373
he caught up with her and said

40
00:04:35,453 --> 00:04:39,080
'Very well, Miss Heron, I
agree to take you as my wife, '

41
00:04:40,453 --> 00:04:43,546
Did you hear me?
I agree to take you.

42
00:04:44,853 --> 00:04:48,120
Maybe you are taking,
but I'm not going,

43
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,386
But again the heron
got to thinking,

44
00:05:19,746 --> 00:05:23,760
It is better to live together then to be alone.

45
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:29,333
I'll go and make up with him and marry him.

46
00:05:38,253 --> 00:05:42,040
Yes, we'll make up
and I'll marry him,

47
00:05:45,226 --> 00:05:46,773
Crane dear, I
I will marry you,

48
00:05:47,213 --> 00:05:49,506
But the Crane answered back to her:

49
00:05:49,546 --> 00:05:52,253
'Betty wants Freddy,

50
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:57,586
But freddy's no longer ready."

51
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,906
With these words

52
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,800
the Crane turned away,

53
00:06:04,466 --> 00:06:06,973
and the Heron left.

54
00:08:44,173 --> 00:08:46,866
Crane-y, dear Crane-y,

55
00:08:47,106 --> 00:08:48,920
I'll marry you!

56
00:09:27,906 --> 00:09:32,213
And so it still goes on like that 
back and forth...

57
00:09:33,173 --> 00:09:36,653
... One after the other,

58
00:09:49,653 --> 00:09:54,573
THE END
