"She can't sleep!" " But I was..." " Hush!" "...I'll be quiet!" "..." " What are you doing?" "!" " Knitting stockings for Marfoushka...!" "Who gave you permission?" "!" "You told me to...!" "I told you to knit, NOT to click your needles!" " You'll wake Marfoushka up." " Can she hear me through the wall?" "You can't hear it after working hard all day..." "But she dozed all day...!" "and your rattling may wake her up!" "You knit out here, and then you won't wake her up!" "Out here, the moon is bright... the yard is lovely and cool...!" "Go to sleep!" "Now finish up!" "If the stocking isn't finished by the time the rooster crows... I'll tear your braid off!" "Then how will you look, hmm?" "!" "Tiapa!" "Tiapa!" "Sit, Tiapa!" "Have pity on me, dear Rooster, I've got just one more row to knit." "You'll have to ask The Dawn." "Have pity on me, rosy-fingered Dawn!" "Have mercy, golden Sun!" "My knitting must be finished, or I'll be punished." "Stepmother'll tear my braid off!" "Thank you, rosy-fingered Dawn!" "Rooster, with your beautiful plumage," "Thank you, dear bird!" "I've finished!" "I'm done!" "Well, is it ready?" "!" "You've finished it, you witch...!" "You wicked little viper!" "Next time, I'll give you harder work than this!" "Now go feed the chickens, water the cattle, split the wood, and sweep the yard!" "On the same morning and the same day, but in a different land, and in a different village..." " Son!" " What is it now?" "!" "Take care of yourself...!" " Don't forget about me...!" " Yeah, yeah..." "Don't hurt the weak!" " Yeah, yeah..." "Honor those who are old!" " Yeah, yeah..." "Oh, you dear boy, Ivan, Come to meet me at the gate!" "I got a brand-new sarafan, all of silk and lace it's made!" "Vania, Vania, wait a bit, where have you been to?" "Don't pass by, we must meet." "Look into my window!" "Please, Ivan, don't leave forever, On the porch we'll sit together." "Of an apple take a bite." "We'll be talking side by side." "Hey, you people, step aside!" "Clear the way, here I come!" "Me, a handsome, jolly lad," "Strolling through the village" "Hey-liuli, hey-liuli, Let the road be straight and free." "I'm the greatest you ever saw!" "I'm just pure delight!" "Nothing's wrong with me, I'm as perfect as they come" "Hey-liuli, hey-liuli, Let the road be straight and free." "I can walk all over seas," "Moving mountains over I will find the perfect girl" "Fair and sweet as clover." "Hey-liuli, hey-liuli, Let the road be straight and free." "We'll rob 'em, we won't rob 'em, we'll eat 'em, we won't eat 'em..." "We'll beat 'em, they'll beat us..." "We'll rob 'em, we won't rob 'em, we'll eat 'em, we won't eat 'em..."

"Have a good day!" "How about that?" "!" "That kid's got muscle!" "Hmmm....." "I wonder..." "Whether Ivan wandered over for a long time... or not, that we don't know." "But he found himself in a strange, far-away land." "Ivanushka!" "Who's playing hide-and-seek with me?" " l am!" " And who are -  --you?" "!" " Yup." "Are you a sorcerer, granddad?" "I dabble a bit at sorcery." "But I get bored." "Bored?" "Let's see which one of us is faster!" "Faster?" "You must be kidding!" "I'll catch you in no time." "Tell you what... if you catch me, I'll give you a bow and a quiver of arrows." "Agreed?" "Agreed!" "Ivanushka!" "Ivanushka!" "You can't catch me!" " Want to try again, Ivanushka?" " No, you've won!" "Since you admit it, I'll give you the bow  arrows anyway!" "This is a miracle!" "Well, where would we be without miracles?" "So, you are a sorcerer!" " Ivan!" " What?" " Come back!" " Why?" " You forgot the most important thing." " What's that?" "You forgot to thank an old man, and bow your head before him." "If I bow my head before everyone, I'll lose it!" "Let a bear bow to you instead!" "Alright..." "let it be as you wish." "The bear will bow to me, but it's your back that will bend." "Find a feather in the field and throw it to the wind." "If you follow that feather, you will find your destiny." "You will find your destiny..." "You keep cooing, my dear cuckoo." "A long life you promise me, silly one." "But you don't know how hard it is" "For an orphan who has no mother." "As a birch can't grow without sun," "So a girl can't live all alone." "So why d'you coo, my dear cuckoo?" "A long life you promise me, silly one?" "Hello, fair maiden!" "How do you do, my lovely girl?" "Don't be afraid of me." "Look at me, my darling!" "Ain't I amazing?" "Right...?" " I'm handsome, right?" " l don't have time to talk to you." " What are you doing?" " Watering this old stump." "How long will you water it?" "Until flowers bloom on it." " Flowers?" " My stepmother told me to." " She must be very wicked!" " No, she's just a stepmother." " What's your name?" " My name is Nastya." "But they call me different names:" "My father calls me Nastenka." "My sister calls me Nastka." "My stepmother calls me a witch and a wicked viper." "Nastenka..." "Will you marry me?" "You're too fast!" "Why not?" "What's wrong with me?" "I'm not crippled or cross-eyed!" "True, but we wouldn't make a good couple." " Why not?" " l'm not a braggart." "You think I'm bragging?" "I can do anything!" "With a plough, I'm a pro!" "In a fight, I'm a knight!" "I'm a dancer, a worker, a farmer, and a hunter!" " l'll fell that bear with one arrow!" " No, she's got cubs!" "Big deal!" "Tiapa!" "Tiapa!" "Tiapa!" "Nastya?" "What's wrong?" "Nastya!" "Nastenka!" "She's alive!" "What have you done to me, you witch?" "Ivanushka!" "I didn't do anything to you!" "Curse you!" "You wicked viper!" "I killed you with an arrow, but you destroyed me with a feather." "If you hadn't acted like a bear, you wouldn't look like a bear." "Ivan, Ivan... the Bear-Headed Man!" "Forgive me, Granddad Mushroom." "Forgive you, Ivan?" "It turned out just like I said:" "The bear bows to me, but it's your back that bends." "You taught me a good lesson." "But, please...!" "Tell me what I should do to be a man again?" "OK, Mr. Bear Head..." "Look at the way you lived." "You spent your time boasting and looking in the mirror!" "You thought only about yourself and you hurt many people!" " Nastenka, for one." " Nastenka?" "You've never been nice to anyone." "That's my answer and my advice." "To take it, you must first be wise." "What's so wise about it?" "I'll go and do a good deed!" "And through a good deed I'll become the old "me", indeed!" "You didn't understand a thing, Ivan." "Can I do a good deed for you?" "Wait!" "Wait, you little fools!" "Don't run away!" "I want to help you!" "Wait!" "A bear!" "A bear!" "And a werewolf!" "Hello, my dear flowers on the dry stump." "I come here every day, I treat you as well as anyone could." "Am I bothering you?" "No." "I'm glad I'm not!" "Tell me, flowers, is lvanushka still alive?" "He is!" "is he still angry with me?" "No, he's not!" "Shall we ever meet again?" "Have mercy, brothers and sisters!" "Give alms for my subsistence!" "Give whatever you can for an orphan who is hungry and thin!" " How much is in your cup?" " Not a even half kopeck." "In that case, here's a kopeck!" "It seems a kopeck isn't enough for a good deed." "Where are you going?" "A werewolf!" "Run for your life!" "It's a werewolf!" "A werewolf!" "How will I ever do a good deed?" "Nastya, give us the braid!" "Hurry!" "Mom, whiten her brows!" "Oh, my lovely darling!" "Nastka's braid is nicer than mine!" "But we had to buy yours at the fair!" "Cut off her braid!" "What shall I drag her by, then?" "We'll hide her braid under a rag." "All right...!" "Love to munch when the stove's all smudged?" "Go like that, you viper!" "Now let's see how you'll do!" "Now try this...!" "Oh, you're a princess!" "A genuine princess!" " Really?" " You are!" "A princess..." "And now a little of this...!" " l'm tired, and I'm hot!" " Shut up for a moment!" "No, you're not a princess." " Who, then?" " A queen!" "What good deed can I do?" "I can't walk another step!" " Granny, let me help you." " Please!" "That would be so kind of you!" "With pleasure!" "I badly need to do a good deed!" " Then do it." " Climb on!" " Climb where?" " My back!" "Your back!" " Do you live far from here?" " Very far, dearie!" "Up the hill, then down the hill, then up the hill again." "That's great!" "It's great, but don't get too sweaty." "Come on, let's go!" "My daughter is right for your boy." "She works day and night!" "She sweeps, she sews, she knits, and she'll never complain!" "She starts the stove in the morning, she broils, boils, and fries...!" "She mops till the floor shines, and then she'll wine and dine him!" "Yeah, she's such a wonder, a bargain at twice the price!" "Matchmaker, you're overdoing it." "We hear you also have another daughter." " Yes." " Where is she hiding?" "People repeat all kinds of vicious rumors!" "I'M the daughter, the other is a stepdaughter!" "NEVERTHELESS..." "please show us the stepdaughter." "Mother...?" "If you insist..." "I'll get her for you." "Nastenka!" "Nastenka!" "Nastka!" "Come HERE!" "Behave, you viper!" "Nastenka, my sweetie, my little wren!" "Say hello to our guests!" "This one is no good at all." "She's not the quickest rabbit in the forest, is she?" "Yes, our little fool is neither pretty, nor intelligent." "Takes after her father!" "But--!" "...I'll be quiet...!" "Now, what can I offer you?" "She's prepared fish AND meat!" "But first, a toast!" "My dear son adores goose giblets." " Oh, very much!" " Nastka!" " Wait!" "Let your lovely daughter take care of it" "Mother...!" "Then we'll see how good she is at housework." " Are you sweating, dearie?" " It's a little hot." " Can you see a ramshackle hut?" " l see it." "That's my palace." "Down the hill!" "Down, down!" "This is fun!" "Faster!" "OK, here we are!" "Here it is, my palace." "Thank you, handsome!" " Are you laughing at me?" "!" " No, no!" "Can't you see how "handsome" l am?" "!" "No, I can't see at all!" "It's been about 10 years since I went blind." "Oh, Granny..." "I wish I had gone blind." "Why is that, dearie?" "!" " Granddad Mushroom lied to me." " What did you say?" "!" "I'll never look at myself in the mirror again!" "How's she coming along?" "I can see your son likes her a lot!" "Fair and bonny, she's no phoney!" "Mommy!" " Marfoushka!" "My daughter!" " Help!" "Mommy!" "Marfoushenka!" "Marfousha!" "Save me, quick!" "You should've tied it tighter!" "Are you rejecting my child?" "Of course not!" "My son is young, handsome, and ready to get married!" "But not to this one!" "To the other one!" "The one called Nastenka....!" "How can Granny walk without her stick?" "I've got to take it to her!" "Good boy, lvanushka!" "Good boy!" "Maybe I'm just dreaming..." "maybe I'm seeing ghosts, or it's the old sorcerer's tricks again." "The feather brought me here." "This is where l met Nastenka." "Look, the stump is blooming!" "The evil sorcerer is playing tricks on me." "I'll never be free of his spell." "So, there's only one choice..." "Farewell, Nastenk-- !" "Nastenka!" "Many weeks had passed, winter had brought snow and ice!" "The old man took his daughter to the forest, because he was ordered to." "Not of his own free will, but because of his old woman..." "She nagged him!" "She scolded him!" "She pecked him!" "She hounded him!" ""l tried to get Marfoushka married!"" ""but everybody looks at Nastya, that stupid child!"" ""Take her to the woods and dump her!"" ""Out of my sight, wicked viper!"" "No..." "I don't care what that old hag says!" "She can kill me if she wants!" "But I'm not leaving you in the forest, believe me!" "Come on, Zorka!" "Turn back home!" "She can beat me with a poker, or with a pitchfork!" "I'm not afraid of her anymore, Nastenka!" "I'm not afraid of anyone!" "I won't keep quiet any more!" "Home, Zorka!" "Home!" "She'll make you miserable, father." "She'll drive you insane." "Goodbye..." "Remember me well." "Nastya!" "Nastya!" "Go, Zorka, go!" "Hey, you in the house, get out here!" "Open the doors wide!" " Mommy!" " What's the matter with him?" "!" "I've had enough!" "I'm never going to leave-- !" "...I'll be quiet!" "..." "Marfoushenka, go back inside..." "you'll catch a cold, darling." "You'd better watch it!" "Oh no..." "Nastenka is gone... forever." "Tiapa..." "Tiapa...!" "Little hut, turn your back to the forest, and your face to me." "What do you want?" "Ivan?" "We didn't expect you." "You turned my cabin around, disturbing an old lady!" "I would have preferred that it showed it's face to your other side...!" "Don't be angry." "Don't be angry, grandma!" "Help me to find Nastya and save her." "Don't expect me to help!" "Go find someone else's mirror to gaze into!" "Come on, little cabin!" "Turn your face to the forest and your back to Ivan." "Cabin, you will face me!" "Turn away from Ivan!" "Cabin, you will face me!" "Face the forest, away from Ivan!" "You hooligan!" "You won't get away from me!" "Cabin, face me!" " Turn away!" " Face me!" "Goodness me...!" "You won't get your way for long!" "You can't always win using strength." "You'll use strength, but I'll use magic!" "ZING!" "BING!" "Now be brave, Hercules!" "One!" "Two!" "THREE!" "This way, you braggart!" "You'll make first-rate second course!" "It's no use fighting, Ivan, even with all your strength!" "I'll have you for dinner one way or another!" " Sorry, I didn't mean it." " Didn't mean what?" "Well, I've never sat on a shovel before." "I don't know how to do it right!" "Show me how to sit on a shovel." "OK, hop down." "Hold this end." "Got it." "The young people of today...!" "What do they teach you at school?" "There's nothing difficult about this." "Bon voyage, witch!" "Ouch!" "Hey, it's hot in here!" "Now beat it, before I turn you into firewood!" "Run away!" "Have mercy, lvanushka, I'm sizzling, I'm hot!" "A steambath never hurt anyone, Granny." "Now tell me, witch, where's Nastya?" "How can I save Nastenka?" "Hang in there, Granny, hang in there." "The fir tree thrives and grows," "And laughs at winter snows." "In summer sun and winter cloud" "Stands the fir, green and proud." "In summer sun and winter cloud" "Stands the fir, green and proud!" "The gales of winter sing:" ""Sleep, little fir tree," ""Jack Frost says to sleep until Spring!"" "Sleep, until spring!" "Where has this little wonder come from?" "F-f-f-f-from home." "Your home?" "Mmm-hmm." "Are you warm, little girl?" "I'm quite warm, Father Frost." "Quite warm." "And now, are you warm, dear girl?" "I'm warm, Father Frost." "Quite warm, Father Frost." "I can see you're a very good girl with a kind and gentle heart." "Take my coat, my dear." "And you, Father Frost..." "Won't you get cold?" "Me?" "Cold?" "A little bird!" "No, don't bother, my child." "She's gone forever." "In my scepter lies the power that spreads the frost." "You're wicked!" "You have no pity!" "No, please, I have pity!" "I pity this little bird, too!" "But... whoever touches my scepter, sleeps in the cold forever." " What's the matter, little girl?" " Goodbye, Father Frost." "What's the matter, my dear?" " l'm freezing too." "Hey, where is my fast-running sleigh!" "Come here, my magic ice sleigh!" "My sleigh!" "C'mon, you'll soon warm up, my dear." "We have yet to dance at your wedding!" "Ho ho ho, my slegh!" "Now we ride!" " Feeling warmer, my dear?" " Mmm-hmm!" "Nastenka...!" "Love...!" "Rubbish!" "But... so you don't get cold, take a sheepskin coat." "Yep, it's dusty..." "Gesundheit!" "And don't forget..." "What?" "What's that?" "!" "It's a sleigh!" "Magically self-propelled, too." "It will pull itself and guide you to Nastya!" "The coat is almost new..." "Don't forget to return it!" "That was a nasty trick I played on him!" "Oh, I really need a nap!" "...and my back is killing me." "Whoa, my good sleigh!" "Oh, I feel terrible!" "Oh, it's worse than a fever..." "It's worse than a cold!" "It's not an illness that wastes me, lt's a wickedness that drains me." "I can't sleep any more, I can't eat any more." "That stranger got the better of me, poor old Baba Yaga!" "I wanted to eat him, but I couldn't swallow." "Instead I myself ended up on a shovel." "Pussy-cat, pussy-cat, come and have a little pat." "You've gotten silken black fur, you purr a giant purr." "You've got to help me, kitty cat, fly over the snow..." "And ruin Ivan's bride!" "And now we'll have a big laugh!" "Don't worry, my child." "Everything will be all right." "Ivan will never forget you." "Now I'll go and have a walk, checking on the forest to see if everything is in order." "And you stay inside." "Don't feel lonely." "I'll be back soon!" "is Nastenka in trouble?" "!" "Where are you going?" "You have the clean the stables!" "Nastenka!" "Nastenka!" "Kitty cat!" "Where are you going?" ""Whoever touches my scepter will never wake up again."" "[hums his song to himself]" "This will not do." "We must sprinkle you with frost." "Oh, what a dimwit I am!" "I'm just an old fool." "I've left my freezing scepter at home!" "Hello!" "Anyone at home?" "Who will open my front door for me?" "It's me, Nastenka!" "I'm back!" "Nastenka..." "Nastenka, my dear girl!" "What a dimwit I am!" "I'm just an old fool." "I couldn't protect Nastenka." "Well?" "Good for you!" "Now I'll give you a big reward!" "For this kitty... cream!" "Rich and fresh!" "You've earned it, Diabla." "Change back!" "Change back!" "And for this red devil, sliced ham, all deviled!" "You've earned it, Porky!" "Greetings, Ivan, widow's son!" "Greetings, Grandfather Frost." "Have you come for Nastenka?" "Nastenka!" "She sleeps." "Why does she sleep during the day?" "She sleeps at night, too." "Forgive me, Nastenka, for hurting your feelings...!" "Please, forgive me!" "Ivanushka!" "Nastenka!" "Ivanushka, how nice you are now!" " Am I really?" " Much nicer than you were." "I've really changed!" "I used to be selfish... now I'm ready to do good deeds!" "No matter how tough!" "What is it on your cheek?" "What is there?" "It looks like bear fur's growing back!" "I'm just joking, lvanushka." "Nastenka!" "Bubble, bubble, toil and trouble..." "Begone!" "Vanish!" "You cheats!" "You lazybones!" "What shall we do?" "Let's try it!" "The other old men are stupid, but you're the stupidest!" "To drag your own daughter to the forest!" "Just to amuse Grandfather Frost, or to feed a pack of wolves!" "But, I --!" ""But, I--!" "But, I--!"" "...I'll be quiet!" "... I used to pull her by her braid, and then I got the whole day off!" "You've got no hair to speak of, nothing to get hold of!" "Owiee owiee owiee!" "It's all your fault that I hit my darling, you dolt!" "And if Nastka were here..." "They're coming!" "They're coming!" "This is my fiancee, lvanushka." "I'll explain, dear father." "Jack Frost found me and welcomed me into his home." "He betrothed me to Ivan... and gave me a rich dowry." "Such previous gems!" "Isn't the bridegroom handsome!" "Nastenka is a real princess!" "And Marfoushka looks like a bag of potatoes!" "Get out of here!" "And never come back!" "I'll show you a bag of potatoes!" "I'll teach you a lesson!" "Calm down, my dear, calm down!" "I want a fiancee!" "I want precious stones!" "I want, I want, I want!" "So, as Marfoushka demanded, and on the old woman's orders, the old man took Marfoushka deep into the forest and left her under a tall fir tree." "Are you warm, dear girl?" "You're nuts." "You're nuts, old timer." "Can't you see that my hands and feet are frozen?" "What is this strange creature...?" "Aren't you warm, dear girl?" "Even a little, pretty girl?" "I want a husband!" "And a dowry, too!" "A really BIG dowry!" "Hand them over!" "Sleep, oh bears, in your lairs, spend a quiet night." "Spend a quiet night!" "The fox lies low beneath the snow." "In the tree sits the nest of the crow." "But the bandit's lair isn't anywhere." "We're all cold!" "We're hungry, too!" "Stop singing...!" "Take your positions!" "Whoever comes... rob them!" "Hey..." "look!" "Welcome, Baba Yaga!" "Howdy, y'all!" "She's a real spring chicken!" "Oh. everyone has an opinion..." "even bandits!" "Now, how would you like...?" "What?" "Two tubs of gold nuggets, six pails of sterling ingots, and all the copper l've got for a piece-of-cake job." "All right!" "Copper will do for them, and the leader gets the gold" "AFTER you do your job!" "Aw, don't you trust us?" "Don't you trust me to trust you?" "!" "Quiet now!" "Quiet, I'm listening...!" "All right, you scoundrels, here comes your easy money!" "Coming through on a troika will be Ivan and his bride." "(Oh, they make me sick!" ")" "Them you must capture, and them you must torture!" " Got it?" " Got it!" "Take your positions!" "Ivanushka!" "Hold on, Nastenka!" "We do good work, don't we?" "Ivanushka!" " Where's our gold?" " Just hold on!" "Robbing an old lady, you..." "you villain!" "Surrender, Ivan!" "Or your wife will sit on the shovel!" "Follow me!" "Get up, you cowards!" "Fight for your money!" "Charge!" "My broom!" "My broom!" "My broom!" "Hey, these are our clubs!" "Ivanushka!" "Nastenka!" "Look out, lvanushka!" " That's enough, you old witch!" " Take pity on this poor, old granny!" "Take your pity and go home!" " Ivanushka!" " Nastenka!" "Nastenka got a troika, a box of clothes, and a box of jewels..." "But Marfoushka'll get a troika and two boxes of each!" "No, she'll get four boxes of each!" "For Nastenka, he found a peasant... but for Marfoushka, he'll get a prince!" "They are coming!" "Where's your dowry?" "!" "WHERE?" "!" "Silly woman!" "...I'll be quiet!" "..." "And stay that way!" "To the wedding I came!" "I drank ale, I ate meat!" "The bride and groom were the loveliest couple in the land." "And here our tale will..." "END"
