Present
-
We live in Russia
-
The coat of arms of Russia is the mighty
and proud two-headed golden eagle
-
On it's chest St. George
-
Piercing with his silver spear
the evil dragon
-
Russia's flag has three colors
White, blue and red.
-
Our capital is Moscow
on the river Moscow
("Circus")
-
North of where the River Moscow hits
the Volga lies the old Russian city Vologda
-
Vologda has just as Moscow a Kremlin
-
The city is famous for his milk and butter.
-
We introduce the Volovodskaya
... smooth on a sandwich
-
You also find here delicate woodworks
-
...on the local cupboards
-
Also, in many a St. Clause story
-
he lives in the Volovodskaya region
-
The little ones send
their letters to him here
-
In the letter they ask him for their presents
-
Of course here are also told many Russian Fairytale
-
and all of them are like a precious gem
-
Mountain of gems

Cat and Fox
-
Once there was a peasant
and the peasant had a cat.
-
The cat was such a prankster and a glutton.
-
The cat caused a lot of trouble
He was good for nothing
-
The peasant had enough of it, grabbed
him and carried him away into the woods
-
To avoid he would return the peasant
carried him as far as he could
-
He even went so deep into the woods
that he got frightened himself
-
He threw down the bag and
ran back home as fast as he could
-
It just so happened that a fox was passing by.
-
She saw the bag and
was ceased with curiosity.
-
What was in there?
-
Hearing someone trampling outside
the cat was paralyzed with fear
-
The fox thought: I will take the
bag home and open it there
-
The cat and the fox looked at each other
both quit scared but terribly curious
-
In all my years in the woods I've
never seen an animal like you
-
Who are you?
I...I...
-
I am Kotofey Ivanovitch.
-
I am sent here from the Siberian woods
to be governor. -Yes indeed
-
Ha, ha, ha, to be governor.
hmm Governor.
-
Wat a grand governor you are Kotofey Ivanovitch.
-
What an air. What a uniform.
-
What do you say, Kotofey Ivanovitch, Let's get married
-
Get married?
What's your name?
-
I am Lisaveta Petrovna
-
Well, Lisaveta Petrovna, All right, I'll marry you.
-
So the began to live together.
-
They were happy day and night,
singing songs an playing pad-a-cake
-
Oh my poor Kotofey Ivanovitch. You've gotten so hungry
-
Look, You ran around all night
to find something to nibble on, well,
-
I'll go get some food, while you stay
here and gather your strength
-
soon we're going to live the good life.
-
The fox, looking this way and that,
ran through the woods picking mushrooms
-
When suddenly a wolf appeared.
Hello Fox, you're picking mushrooms?
-
You don't eat them , do you?
I don't eat them...
-
but my husband, Kotofey Ivanovitch
really loves them.
-
What Kotofey Ivanovitch?
- Haven't you heard?
-
He was sent to us from the
Siberian woods to be governor
-
I used to be an unmarried girl,
but now I am a governors wife
-
You think maybe I could meet him?
Collect some gifts: fish, meat, and more
-
Put your gifts on the glade and hide
Perhaps Kotofey Ivanovitch won't notice you.
-
He may be small,
but he has a nasty temper.
-
If something doesn't go his way, he can
tear someone to shreds. - Shreds, huh?!
-
And the fox went on to gather acorns.
-
What the heck, fox, what are you doing?
Grabbing my acorns!?!
-
Phew, they are not for myself,
they are for my husband, Kotofey Ivanovitch
-
What do you mean, a husband?
-
He was send to us from the
Siberian woods, to be our governor.
-
Could you hand me that acorn?
It hangs to high for me.
-
Shoot, listen fox,
could I meet this governor?
-
Collect some gifts: Fish and meat, and such.
-
Leave it on the glade, and hide
Perhaps Kotofey Ivanovitch won't notice you.
-
Believe me, he can get mad real fast.
-
Huh...Why never
-
Hello dear fox,
what do you want?
-
I need some raspberries
for my husband, Kotofey Ivanovitch
-
Kotofey Ivanovitch who was send to us
from the Siberian woods to be governor
-
Show him to me
He is small but has a very nasty temper.
-
If something doesn't go his way he'll tear
you right to pieces. - To pieces?!
-
You mean just like a little pig?
-
You collect some presents. Some fish
and meat and put it on the glade
-
Then hide, and then perhaps
Kotofey Ivanovitch won't harm you.
-
Oh you pour Kotofey Ivanovitch.
I brought you something to eat
-
You don't like it?
You want something more tasty?
-
Soon you'll have it.
Some large animals will come with gifts
-
Don't be scared. They'll take just a little peak
of you and then run on their way.
-
Nobody has ever seen a
real governor in our woods
-
Heck! We came groveling
to the fox and her husband.
-
Quiet you!
-
You can go and get yourself in trouble,
just don't pull us into it
-
The fox ordered us to hide
-
Well, I never...
-
Well, I never...
-
He bear, what's up?
Can you see anyone yet?
-
Nobody!
-
Maybe we should give them a sign.
-
Listen, fur ball, stop!!
-
Run to the fox.
Tell her we've come with the presents.
-
And let her come here
with Kotofey Ivanovitch
-
I was asked from above to come here
and tell you they've come with the presents.
-
Quiet!
-
Why, never.
-
Well, are they coming?
-
It looks like it.
-
Well, how is the governor?!
-
Hard to see, he's a little small.
-
Come on Kotofey Ivanovitch Don't be mad
at them. They brought you delicious presents.
-
Here is some tasty food now!
And then...
-
Maybe you wont be so mad at them!
-
And if you don't like the fair, you can always eat them instead.
-
Oei!
-
Bear! What's happening?
I can't see a thing.
-
It's a disaster.
-
He's screaming it's not enough!
I am worried he'll come after us next.
-
Where are you going fur ball?
Tired of living?
-
I can't handle it anymore. I'll have see for myself.
-
Run, run, or the governor
will tear you to pieces
-
And tell the others, so they'll avoid
make Kotofey Ivanovitch angry too!
-
You spooked them Marvelously,
Kotofey Ivanovitch.
-
They will remember it for a long time.
-
And ever since, the cat and the fox
lived a good life
-
They're coming! They're coming!
They're bringing the presents!
