We live in Russia

00:00:18,048 --> 00:00:23,022
The coat of arms of Russia is the mighty
and proud two-headed golden eagle

7
00:00:23,022 --> 00:00:25,088
On it's chest St. George

8
00:00:25,088 --> 00:00:30,086
Piercing with his silver spear
the evil dragon

9
00:00:30,086 --> 00:00:35,088
Russia's flag has three colors
White, blue and red.

10
00:00:35,088 --> 00:00:45,000
Our capital is Moscow
on the river Moscow
("Circus")

11
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:52,048
North of where the River Moscow hits
the Volga lies the old Russian city Vologda

12
00:00:52,048 --> 00:00:55,084
Vologda has just as Moscow a Kremlin

13
00:00:55,084 --> 00:00:59,052
The city is famous for his milk and butter.

14
00:00:59,052 --> 00:01:06,018
We introduce the Volovodskaya
... smooth on a sandwich

15
00:01:06,018 --> 00:01:11,006
You also find here delicate woodworks

16
00:01:11,006 --> 00:01:14,006
...on the local cupboards

18
00:01:17,064 --> 00:01:20,098
he lives in the Volovodskaya region

19
00:01:20,098 --> 00:01:25,084
The little ones send 
their letters to him here

20
00:01:25,084 --> 00:01:32,004
In the letter they ask him for their presents

21
00:01:32,004 --> 00:01:36,066
Of course here are also told many Russian Fairytale

22
00:01:36,066 --> 00:01:40,066
and all of them are like a precious gem

23
00:01:40,066 --> 00:01:47,008
Mountain of gems

24
00:01:47,008 --> 00:02:18,007
Cat and Fox

25
00:02:18,007 --> 00:02:22,024
Once there was a peasant
and the peasant had a cat.

26
00:02:22,024 --> 00:02:25,074
The cat was such a prankster and a glutton.

27
00:02:25,074 --> 00:02:28,072
The cat caused a lot of trouble
He was good for nothing

28
00:02:28,072 --> 00:02:34,072
The peasant had enough of it, grabbed
him and carried him away into the woods

29
00:02:34,072 --> 00:02:43,034
To avoid he would return the peasant
carried him as far as he could

30
00:02:43,034 --> 00:02:48,004
He even went so deep into the woods 
that he got frightened himself

31
00:02:48,004 --> 00:03:00,096
He threw down the bag and
ran back home as fast as he could

32
00:03:00,096 --> 00:03:04,002
It just so happened that a fox was passing by.

33
00:03:04,002 --> 00:03:06,076
She saw the bag and 
was ceased with curiosity.

34
00:03:06,076 --> 00:03:10,001
What was in there?

35
00:03:10,001 --> 00:03:14,066
Hearing someone trampling outside
the cat was paralyzed with fear

36
00:03:14,066 --> 00:03:31,052
The fox thought: I will take the 
bag home and open it there

37
00:03:31,052 --> 00:03:35,098
The cat and the fox looked at each other
both quit scared but terribly curious

38
00:03:35,098 --> 00:03:39,018
In all my years in the woods I've 
never seen an animal like you

39
00:03:39,018 --> 00:03:43,054
Who are you?
I...I...

40
00:03:43,054 --> 00:03:45,052
I am Kotofey Ivanovitch.

41
00:03:45,052 --> 00:03:49,006
I am sent here from the Siberian woods 
to be governor. -Yes indeed

42
00:03:49,006 --> 00:03:56,002
Ha, ha, ha, to be governor. 
hmm Governor.

43
00:03:56,002 --> 00:03:58,009
Wat a grand governor you are Kotofey Ivanovitch.

44
00:03:58,009 --> 00:04:01,004
What an air. What a uniform.

45
00:04:01,004 --> 00:04:06,004
What do you say, Kotofey Ivanovitch, Let's get married

46
00:04:06,004 --> 00:04:10,022
Get married?
What's your name?

47
00:04:10,022 --> 00:04:21,072
I am Lisaveta Petrovna

48
00:04:21,072 --> 00:04:41,034
Well, Lisaveta Petrovna, All right, I'll marry you.

49
00:04:41,034 --> 00:04:44,002
So the began to live together.

50
00:04:44,002 --> 00:05:09,062
They were happy day and night,
singing songs an playing pad-a-cake

51
00:05:09,062 --> 00:05:12,074
Oh my poor Kotofey Ivanovitch. You've gotten so hungry

52
00:05:12,074 --> 00:05:15,094
Look, You ran around all night 
to find something to nibble on, well,

53
00:05:15,094 --> 00:05:19,098
I'll go get some food, while you stay 
here and gather your strength

54
00:05:19,098 --> 00:05:31,008
soon we're going to live the good life.

55
00:05:31,008 --> 00:05:35,056
The fox, looking this way and that,
ran through the woods picking mushrooms

56
00:05:35,056 --> 00:05:40,002
When suddenly a wolf appeared.
Hello Fox, you're picking mushrooms?

57
00:05:40,002 --> 00:05:41,096
You don't eat them , do you?
I don't eat them...

58
00:05:41,096 --> 00:05:44,038
but my husband, Kotofey Ivanovitch 
really loves them.

59
00:05:44,038 --> 00:05:46,082
What Kotofey Ivanovitch?
- Haven't you heard?

60
00:05:46,082 --> 00:05:49,022
He was sent to us from the
Siberian woods to be governor

61
00:05:49,022 --> 00:05:52,096
I used to be an unmarried girl,
but now I am a governors wife

62
00:05:52,096 --> 00:05:57,018
You think maybe I could meet him?
Collect some gifts: fish, meat, and more

63
00:05:57,018 --> 00:06:01,052
Put your gifts on the glade and hide
Perhaps Kotofey Ivanovitch won't notice you.

64
00:06:01,052 --> 00:06:04,008
He may be small,
but he has a nasty temper.

65
00:06:04,008 --> 00:06:10,056
If something doesn't go his way, he can
tear someone to shreds. - Shreds, huh?!

66
00:06:10,056 --> 00:06:22,094
And the fox went on to gather acorns.

67
00:06:22,094 --> 00:06:26,001
What the heck, fox, what are you doing?
Grabbing my acorns!?!

68
00:06:26,001 --> 00:06:30,028
Phew, they are not for myself, 
they are for my husband, Kotofey Ivanovitch

69
00:06:30,028 --> 00:06:32,016
What do you mean, a husband?

70
00:06:32,016 --> 00:06:35,014
He was send to us from the
Siberian woods, to be our governor.

71
00:06:35,014 --> 00:06:39,046
Could you hand me that acorn?
It hangs to high for me.

72
00:06:39,046 --> 00:06:43,056
Shoot, listen fox,
could I meet this governor?

73
00:06:43,056 --> 00:06:47,082
Collect some gifts: Fish and meat, and such.

74
00:06:47,082 --> 00:06:51,008
Leave it on the glade, and hide
Perhaps Kotofey Ivanovitch won't notice you.

75
00:06:51,008 --> 00:06:54,078
Believe me, he can get mad real fast.

76
00:06:54,078 --> 00:07:21,068
Huh...Why never

77
00:07:21,068 --> 00:07:24,076
Hello dear fox,
what do you want?

78
00:07:24,076 --> 00:07:30,002
I need some raspberries
for my husband, Kotofey Ivanovitch

79
00:07:30,002 --> 00:07:34,038
Kotofey Ivanovitch who was send to us
from the Siberian woods to be governor

80
00:07:34,038 --> 00:07:37,082
Show him to me
He is small but has a very nasty temper.

81
00:07:37,082 --> 00:07:41,082
If something doesn't go his way he'll tear
you right to pieces. - To pieces?!

82
00:07:41,082 --> 00:07:43,076
You mean just like a little pig?

83
00:07:43,076 --> 00:07:47,022
You collect some presents. Some fish
and meat and put it on the glade

84
00:07:47,022 --> 00:08:02,098
Then hide, and then perhaps
Kotofey Ivanovitch won't harm you.

85
00:08:02,098 --> 00:08:10,062
Oh you pour Kotofey Ivanovitch.
I brought you something to eat

86
00:08:10,062 --> 00:08:13,032
You don't like it? 
You want something more tasty?

87
00:08:13,032 --> 00:08:20,026
Soon you'll have it.
Some large animals will come with gifts

88
00:08:20,026 --> 00:08:24,042
Don't be scared. They'll take just a little peak 
of you and then run on their way.

89
00:08:24,042 --> 00:08:29,024
Nobody has ever seen a 
real governor in our woods

90
00:08:29,024 --> 00:08:32,046
Heck! We came groveling 
to the fox and her husband.

91
00:08:32,046 --> 00:08:33,058
Quiet you!

92
00:08:33,058 --> 00:08:41,003
You can go and get yourself in trouble, 
just don't pull us into it

93
00:08:41,003 --> 00:08:44,086
The fox ordered us to hide

94
00:08:44,086 --> 00:08:52,054
Well, I never...

95
00:08:52,054 --> 00:09:04,044
Well, I never...

96
00:09:04,044 --> 00:09:08,004
He bear, what's up? 
Can you see anyone yet?

97
00:09:08,004 --> 00:09:09,076
Nobody!

98
00:09:09,076 --> 00:09:12,088
Maybe we should give them a sign.

99
00:09:12,088 --> 00:09:15,038
Listen, fur ball, stop!!

100
00:09:15,038 --> 00:09:18,088
Run to the fox. 
Tell her we've come with the presents.

101
00:09:18,088 --> 00:09:29,036
And let her come here 
with Kotofey Ivanovitch

102
00:09:29,036 --> 00:09:52,008
I was asked from above to come here 
and tell you they've come with the presents.

103
00:09:52,008 --> 00:09:54,064
Quiet!

104
00:09:54,064 --> 00:09:56,008
Why, never.

105
00:09:56,008 --> 00:09:58,026
Well, are they coming?

106
00:09:58,026 --> 00:10:01,006
It looks like it.

107
00:10:01,006 --> 00:10:04,042
Well, how is the governor?!

108
00:10:04,042 --> 00:10:07,003
Hard to see, he's a little small.

109
00:10:07,003 --> 00:10:11,084
Come on Kotofey Ivanovitch Don't be mad 
at them. They brought you delicious presents.

110
00:10:11,084 --> 00:10:14,024
Here is some tasty food now! 
And then...

111
00:10:14,024 --> 00:10:16,048
Maybe you wont be so mad at them!

112
00:10:16,048 --> 00:10:21,009
And if you don't like the fair, you can always eat them instead.

113
00:10:21,009 --> 00:10:33,086
Oei!

114
00:10:33,086 --> 00:10:37,034
Bear! What's happening?
I can't see a thing.

115
00:10:37,034 --> 00:10:38,072
It's a disaster.

116
00:10:38,072 --> 00:10:46,008
He's screaming it's not enough! 
I am worried he'll come after us next.

117
00:10:46,008 --> 00:10:50,014
Where are you going fur ball? 
Tired of living?

118
00:10:50,014 --> 00:11:53,000
I can't handle it anymore. I'll have see for myself.

119
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,084
Run, run, or the governor 
will tear you to pieces

120
00:11:56,084 --> 00:12:03,007
And tell the others, so they'll avoid
make Kotofey Ivanovitch angry too!

121
00:12:03,007 --> 00:12:07,088
You spooked them Marvelously, 
Kotofey Ivanovitch.

122
00:12:07,088 --> 00:12:14,008
They will remember it for a long time.

123
00:12:14,008 --> 00:12:24,028
And ever since, the cat and the fox 
lived a good life

124
