Yellowbeak
Based on a story by Aleksey Tolstoy
3
00:00:40,714 --> 00:00:43,592
When Nikita was very little
4
00:00:43,892 --> 00:00:48,796
he once found a baby starling
fallen out of the nest in the garden.
5
00:00:48,996 --> 00:00:53,316
It was very small, smaller
than Nikita himself.
6
00:00:56,116 --> 00:00:58,046
"Oh," the birdy thought,
7
00:00:58,346 --> 00:01:02,018
"I won't even have time to sigh
before getting gobbled up."
8
00:01:02,118 --> 00:01:03,138
Who are you?
9
00:01:44,638 --> 00:01:47,442
Look, Sashenka, Nikita's running in.
10
00:01:54,642 --> 00:01:58,594
It's still very little, poor dear.
11
00:01:59,944 --> 00:02:01,842
Its beak is so yellow...
12
00:02:02,243 --> 00:02:04,443
Yellowbeak!
13
00:02:04,592 --> 00:02:07,604
They put the starling on
the sill of a window
14
00:02:07,705 --> 00:02:11,505
which was half-veiled with
cheesecloth on the inner side.
15
00:02:16,104 --> 00:02:18,709
Yellowbeak immediately hid in a corner,
16
00:02:18,809 --> 00:02:23,222
trying to show them that he was
determined to fight for his life.
17
00:02:25,072 --> 00:02:29,103
"I'm done for! I'm done for!"
Yellowbeak thought.
18
00:02:30,003 --> 00:02:36,400
"The one who called me 'Yellowbeak' may
perhaps have pity on me, but this one...
19
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,325
...will eat me for sure."
20
00:02:45,075 --> 00:02:49,537
"They're fattening me," Yellowbeak thought,
21
00:02:49,838 --> 00:02:53,138
"A trick, it's all a trick!"
22
00:02:53,237 --> 00:02:55,303
"And this worm is not real."
23
00:03:36,353 --> 00:03:40,934
Nikita knew that
it could be scary at night.
24
00:03:41,035 --> 00:03:42,135
And he thought:
25
00:03:42,234 --> 00:03:46,718
If I try, I could be
unafraid of the dark,
26
00:03:47,018 --> 00:03:51,561
but Yellowbeak probably
won't be able to do the same.
27
00:06:08,511 --> 00:06:12,809
When Nikita had gone,
Yellowbeak started thinking:
28
00:06:12,909 --> 00:06:15,788
"So he didn't eat me, but he could have.
29
00:06:15,888 --> 00:06:18,864
So he doesn't eat birds.
30
00:06:19,315 --> 00:06:21,965
Then I've got a future after all!"
31
00:06:49,564 --> 00:06:55,714
"Wow, there is no beast
stronger than Nikita!"
32
00:06:55,815 --> 00:06:59,365
Yellowbeak thought after that,
33
00:06:59,614 --> 00:07:02,262
and when Nikita came by once more,
34
00:07:02,412 --> 00:07:05,851
he allowed him to stroke his head,
35
00:07:06,102 --> 00:07:10,002
although he sat back on his
tail from fear all the same.
36
00:08:20,101 --> 00:08:22,153
Yellowbeak!
37
00:08:39,553 --> 00:08:43,044
Listen, so starlings can talk!
38
00:08:43,244 --> 00:08:47,862
No, they cannot.
But they can imitate.
39
00:08:48,012 --> 00:08:51,328
I think that our Yellowbeak
really can talk.
40
00:08:54,178 --> 00:08:58,558
What are you saying, Sasha?
Nikita will believe it.
41
00:08:58,658 --> 00:09:01,101
I will believe it, I will.
42
00:09:15,101 --> 00:09:16,753
Well....
43
00:09:17,603 --> 00:09:21,924
You just watch yourself!
You can't eat visitors.
44
00:09:22,024 --> 00:09:27,364
And if someone eats a talking bird,
do you know what will happen to them?
45
00:09:57,313 --> 00:09:58,863
Sasha!
46
00:09:59,664 --> 00:10:03,713
Oh, Yellowbeak, you took a good shot...
47
00:10:03,914 --> 00:10:06,714
...but, just look,
Nikita is waiting for you.
48
00:10:11,063 --> 00:10:15,102
Now, when the grownups went
to the theater or to a concert,
49
00:10:15,202 --> 00:10:18,047
Nikita wasn't lonely at all.
50
00:10:18,297 --> 00:10:21,100
He sat beside the little house
51
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,613
and talked with Yellowbeak.
52
00:11:08,013 --> 00:11:11,604
He lived thus till autumn came.
53
00:11:12,004 --> 00:11:16,724
He grew up, and learned to
speak Russian quite well.
54
00:11:17,574 --> 00:11:19,756
He spent nearly all day in the garden,
55
00:11:19,857 --> 00:11:24,657
but when dusk fell, he always
returned to his little house.
56
00:11:26,606 --> 00:11:30,717
In August wild starlings invited
him to join their flock,
57
00:11:31,067 --> 00:11:34,364
and when the leaves
in the garden began falling,
58
00:11:35,214 --> 00:11:38,831
Yellowbeak flew away together
with the migrating birds
59
00:11:39,081 --> 00:11:43,192
across the sea, to Africa.
60
00:11:44,792 --> 00:11:47,787
But they return in the spring.
61
00:11:47,888 --> 00:11:50,338
I know. I read all about it.
