00:00:11,310 --> 00:00:12,550
Present
4
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:16,670
We live in Russia
5
00:00:17,410 --> 00:00:19,960
The coat of arms of Russia is the
two-headed golden eagle
6
00:00:20,090 --> 00:00:21,650
mighty and proud
7
00:00:21,820 --> 00:00:24,120
In its centre is St. George.
8
00:00:24,300 --> 00:00:27,600
With his silver spear he is
slaying a wicked dragon.
9
00:00:29,180 --> 00:00:32,810
The Russian flag has three colors:
White, blue and red.
10
00:00:32,970 --> 00:00:37,670
The capital of our country is Moscow:
an ancient yet modern city.
11
00:00:38,570 --> 00:00:41,490
Russia is the biggest country in the world.
12
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:45,600
It's so big that while at one end of it
kids are going to school
13
00:00:45,780 --> 00:00:49,200
on the other end they are
already going to bed.
14
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,810
In Russia there are more than 1000 cities.
15
00:00:52,140 --> 00:00:56,780
In the Central Russian Upland lies
the ancient city of Voronezh,
16
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,200
famous for its songs.
17
00:01:00,060 --> 00:01:02,960
Surprisingly it was here, far from the sea,
18
00:01:03,110 --> 00:01:06,670
that Tsar Peter started to build
the Russian navy.
19
00:01:07,100 --> 00:01:09,110
Also in these areas Count Orlov
20
00:01:09,300 --> 00:01:13,170
bred that famous breed of horses:
the swift Orlov Trotters.
21
00:01:13,580 --> 00:01:17,380
The Voronezh land is the most
fertile land in the world!
22
00:01:17,850 --> 00:01:22,670
Here grows wonderful wheat from which
a tasty and fragrant bread is baked.
23
00:01:27,910 --> 00:01:32,570
And, of course, they also
tell wonderful folk tales.
24
00:01:32,770 --> 00:01:37,030
Each of them is like a precious gem.
25
00:01:38,460 --> 00:01:42,240
Mountain of Gems
26
00:01:44,130 --> 00:01:47,790
The Clever Daughter
27
00:01:50,940 --> 00:01:56,120
In a certain tsardom, in a certain country,
lived two brothers.
28
00:01:56,470 --> 00:02:01,300
Ignat was rich, but Kuzma lived modestly,
closer to the earth.
29
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:06,020
There was but one horse on his farm yet
Kuzma wasn't discouraged;
30
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,710
he had a whip-smart daughter to boast of.
31
00:02:09,790 --> 00:02:11,710
Morning's good!
32
00:02:22,510 --> 00:02:24,970
Good morning!
33
00:02:30,820 --> 00:02:33,100
Pelageya, my dear...
34
00:02:34,630 --> 00:02:37,300
You're my sweetheart!
35
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:40,440
My breadwinner...
36
00:02:59,060 --> 00:03:02,920
Here! Or here... or here...
37
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,260
What's going on?
38
00:03:05,450 --> 00:03:09,490
Where is it?
A meal's bad when there's no bread!
39
00:03:09,630 --> 00:03:12,960
Father, there's neither flour, nor salt.
40
00:03:13,100 --> 00:03:16,830
We must go to the city.
Go borrow the cart from your brother...
41
00:03:20,940 --> 00:03:27,330
Ah-ah-ah, hold it! Grab it!
By its legs! By its legs!
42
00:03:27,410 --> 00:03:29,580
Not from that end!
Hold it from the other side.
43
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,940
- Don't teach grandma to suck eggs!
- Got it!
44
00:03:33,730 --> 00:03:37,130
Where are you heading off to?
45
00:03:37,350 --> 00:03:39,270
Just to the city, to the bazaar.
46
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,890
Need some flour and salt...
Could I borrow your cart?
47
00:03:43,060 --> 00:03:48,000
Flour, salt. You know what,
let's go into town together,
48
00:03:48,070 --> 00:03:49,610
How's that - together?
49
00:03:49,750 --> 00:03:53,150
Just like that. We'll take my cart
and your horse.
50
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,480
Let's go, then.
51
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,820
Holy-molly, look at that...
52
00:04:17,780 --> 00:04:19,860
Catch this too!
53
00:04:20,460 --> 00:04:22,760
Let's go!
54
00:04:23,900 --> 00:04:26,200
Well, dear...
55
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:47,890
Easy there!
56
00:04:56,870 --> 00:05:02,710
So, a big rock in the spokes
crushed the plans of those folks.
57
00:05:04,790 --> 00:05:09,110
The wheel came off, and the
brothers didn't reach the town...
58
00:05:11,230 --> 00:05:14,030
They had to spend the night in the field.
59
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,910
Well, thank you! That's happiness for you!
60
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,180
Ignat, see what we have here!
61
00:05:40,370 --> 00:05:42,170
Hey? What's this?
62
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:49,000
Oh! You see, my cart
has delivered a foal!
63
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:50,460
Don't be silly, Ignat...
64
00:05:50,610 --> 00:05:52,590
A good foal, eh?
65
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:53,980
How's that?
66
00:05:54,100 --> 00:05:55,770
Just like that! Whose cart is it?
67
00:05:55,850 --> 00:05:57,480
- Yours...
- Where's the foal?
68
00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:58,760
- Under the cart...
- Well?!
69
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:00,330
Well, what?
70
00:06:00,470 --> 00:06:02,670
Well, so the foal comes from the cart!
71
00:06:02,840 --> 00:06:05,640
- A foal always comes from a horse.
- It's from the cart, I say!
72
00:06:05,780 --> 00:06:09,090
- Wait, how's that?
- It's my foal!
73
00:06:09,350 --> 00:06:12,050
- No, mine!
- Mine
- Mine
74
00:06:12,140 --> 00:06:15,740
- So... then let's... go the court!
- Fine, let's!
75
00:06:16,540 --> 00:06:20,880
- Hey, what's he saying?
- Silence!
76
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,640
- Silence, women!
- Listen to the decision of our court!
77
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:30,500
According to the law of our country,
as adopted and brought forth by the
wisdom of Our Royal Majesty - the Tsar
78
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,200
According to the law of our country,
79
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,640
as adopted and brought forth
by the wisdom of His Royal Majesty,
80
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:35,760
our Tsar and benefactor, the high court conf-
81
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,080
-irms... that an animal is always
birthed by an animal!
82
00:06:36,050 --> 00:06:41,080
Therefore, the marked foal,
born from his mother-mare,
83
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:48,180
by the sole legitimate claim present here,
is the son of...
84
00:06:51,280 --> 00:06:52,710
the cart.
85
00:06:52,790 --> 00:06:57,270
So the owner of the foal is certified
to be... Ignat.
86
00:06:57,350 --> 00:07:02,200
Ah, what is this?! People! What is this court?
Where is the truth?!
87
00:07:02,310 --> 00:07:05,430
Saying a foal can only come from a mare,
and then decide for the cart
88
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:10,260
You're all unjust! This court, this mother-land
and our father-protector, the Tsar!
89
00:07:10,430 --> 00:07:11,470
What?!
90
00:07:13,900 --> 00:07:15,830
It's... oi!
91
00:07:20,020 --> 00:07:22,710
You know what you may get
for such words?
92
00:07:22,790 --> 00:07:24,990
Your head off your shoulders!
93
00:07:26,340 --> 00:07:30,150
Well, nobles?
Shall we judge whose foal it is?
94
00:07:30,870 --> 00:07:32,150
Silence!
95
00:07:34,230 --> 00:07:36,850
Here is my Tsar's decree:
96
00:07:37,100 --> 00:07:41,000
The foal shall be his
who guesses a riddle!
97
00:07:41,170 --> 00:07:42,590
Three riddles are customary...
98
00:07:42,810 --> 00:07:45,270
...guesses three riddles!
99
00:07:45,350 --> 00:07:47,270
The first riddle...
100
00:07:47,350 --> 00:07:54,230
Well... hmm... so...
Oh!
101
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,300
Who in the world is the fattest?
102
00:08:03,730 --> 00:08:06,670
What in the world is the fastest?
103
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:15,640
What in the world is... the softest!
104
00:08:16,550 --> 00:08:19,080
Answer tomorrow!
105
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:28,320
Shoo!
106
00:08:40,830 --> 00:08:47,470
- What's the fattest, what's the fastest?
- Oh, Pelageya, how should I guess that?!
107
00:08:47,740 --> 00:08:50,980
Just sleep on it.
108
00:08:55,660 --> 00:08:58,020
The early bird catches the worm!
109
00:08:58,090 --> 00:09:01,590
Wake up! The Tsar is waiting!
110
00:09:01,670 --> 00:09:04,330
I've got the answers to his riddles!
111
00:09:06,690 --> 00:09:11,700
- Well, did you figure it out?
- Just so, your Royal Majesty!
112
00:09:18,310 --> 00:09:21,680
Well, then answer: Who is the fattest?
113
00:09:21,810 --> 00:09:25,590
Your Majesty,
it's Your Royal Majesty's pig!
114
00:09:25,780 --> 00:09:26,460
Oi!
115
00:09:34,090 --> 00:09:36,190
And what's the fastest?
116
00:09:36,380 --> 00:09:41,300
And the fastest is: the chestnut
stallion of Your Royal Majesty!
117
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:50,900
So... what was the third riddle?
What's the softest of all?
118
00:09:50,980 --> 00:09:53,920
Your Imperial feather-bed.
119
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,330
Well, and what have you got?
120
00:10:00,410 --> 00:10:03,920
The softest of all, Your Majesty,
is a hand.
121
00:10:04,570 --> 00:10:07,440
However soft your bed is, you still
put your hand underneath.
122
00:10:07,590 --> 00:10:12,590
The fastest of all is a thought.
It flies around the world in an instant.
123
00:10:12,810 --> 00:10:15,080
That's a thought!
124
00:10:16,140 --> 00:10:18,540
And the fattest of all is the earth.
125
00:10:19,260 --> 00:10:21,330
WHAT?! Ha, ha, ha!
126
00:10:21,410 --> 00:10:24,610
Go and eat earth, then!! Ha, ha, ha!
127
00:10:24,790 --> 00:10:28,420
Well, of course the earth is the fattest.
128
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:32,210
The earth herself feeds and waters
all that are born on it.
129
00:10:32,290 --> 00:10:36,470
All that is on Your table
are the earth's gifts.
130
00:10:42,170 --> 00:10:46,150
- You thought of this yourself?
- Oh, no. My daughter...
131
00:10:46,330 --> 00:10:48,270
What daughter?
132
00:10:48,450 --> 00:10:51,830
- She's that size.
- That's small.
- Yeah.
133
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,280
Ah, ah, she's clever!
134
00:10:59,260 --> 00:11:03,640
Well, if she's that clever,
let her appear before me herself.
135
00:11:03,810 --> 00:11:08,410
And let her be neither riding nor on foot,
136
00:11:08,550 --> 00:11:13,090
And neither dressed nor undressed,
137
00:11:14,550 --> 00:11:19,680
And also... hum...
without any gift but with a gift!
138
00:11:30,410 --> 00:11:34,830
We need a sparrow.
139
00:11:40,930 --> 00:11:43,210
What's that noise all about?
140
00:11:43,290 --> 00:11:46,370
Where are you going, Your Majesty?
141
00:11:46,550 --> 00:11:51,510
Look... a fishnet wound around her...
- What is this?!
142
00:11:51,670 --> 00:11:53,510
My daughter.
143
00:11:53,860 --> 00:11:57,540
She was told to appear
neither riding nor walking,
144
00:11:57,620 --> 00:12:04,090
Neither dressed, nor undressed, and
without any gift but with a gift!
145
00:12:04,740 --> 00:12:07,480
This is for you.
146
00:12:07,590 --> 00:12:12,890
With a gift. - A gift
Oh, there goes my gift!!!
147
00:12:16,660 --> 00:12:22,800
Look at you! Knee-high from a grasshopper
and you outwitted the Tsar!
148
00:12:22,930 --> 00:12:27,180
Well, I'll be! Little and so smart!
149
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,610
I may be clever, but you, father-Tsar...
150
00:12:30,690 --> 00:12:33,560
maybe you were also born from a cart?
151
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,470
Don't you know whose foal it is?
152
00:12:36,550 --> 00:12:40,130
Oh, you! Just take a look over there!
153
00:12:45,310 --> 00:12:50,750
- Exactly. Exactly!
- That's where the foal belongs
154
00:12:50,830 --> 00:12:54,090
What's this? Don't ruin me, father-Tsar!
155
00:12:54,170 --> 00:12:59,320
Here, take hold of this!
That's what a cart gives birth to!
156
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,020
That's how everything was settled
with intelligence.
157
00:13:03,090 --> 00:13:05,510
The foal was given to Kuzma.
158
00:13:05,590 --> 00:13:09,430
The judges, of course, were sent to the
stables, where there was more order.
159
00:13:09,570 --> 00:13:13,330
Let sleeping dogs lie!...
160
00:13:13,550 --> 00:13:18,820
And that's as it should be, because the
last word is always with what is right.
