In the clearing in the woods

there stood a hut.

In the hut there lived Grandpa
and Grandma

They had Granddaughter,
little Masha

Hey, Grandpa!

- What do you want?
- Take care not to cut your finger.

Brandishing that axe in the
old age...

I won't. And you better
cook some noodles

with - umm... yumm... mushrooms.

Well, you'll have to do
without mushooms

Why is that?

There aren't any...

Oh-oh-oh... Fine goings-on...

Well, don't get upset, Grandpa. There
will be some in the evening.

Little Masha will go to the wood
and gather some.

I'm on my way!

Oh, I'll get you such wonderful
mushrooms!

The best ones there are!

Be still, I tell you!

And, well...

Keep up with your friends!

There wolves in the wood,
there is a bear there too.

I won't go astray,
Grandpa!

Hey, little Masha!

Hey, little Masha!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

A hut!

What is that?

It smells like a human being!

Well-well, my dear guest

A girl

What a pretty girl!

Oh, she'll look after me and my house!

She'll bake me pies and
mend my things

What's wrong?

A bear...
I'm scared...

You'll eat me!

Look, a doll! Here you go,
you can play with it.

I'm scared. You'll eat me.

Oh, stop repeating this!

Far from that!
I won't eat even a little fly...

Maybe just sometimes a little bee,
accidentally, with honey

Oh, I'm talking about honey and
a kid is hungry and thirsty!

Eat some honey

Thank you

Who is it for?

It's for my Grandpa and Grandma.
You'll take me to them.

Home?

No way! If your Grandpa
were like me,

lonely, but no, he's with Grandma

He has fun anyway

Oh, our Granddaughter is gone,
our pretty one is gone

I was in the wood again...

Oh, woe,
oh, misery...

Our little Masha has disappeared...

We're left all alone...

Stop crying, old woman, don't
break my heart

I want to go home

I told you, no means no

You are taken care of,

what else do you need?

Grandpa and Grandma!

We will go gather berries
with you

I'll show you places...

There will be more berries you
can gather!

And in the evenings I will
tell you fairy tales

I know so many fairy tales!

I'd have written a volume
this big

if I knew how to write

So you don't know how to write?

Not even this little...

If you want I'll teach you

How to write and read?
Yes, that'll be good.

But for this I need
a writing board

This one won't do

I need a black one

Yes, madame,
there is a black one

- Will this one do?
- Sure

What will we write with?

With a splinter, it's easy to
draw lines with it

B - E - A - R

Bear

Are you serious? Is this really me?

Not much to look at and
clumsy indeed

Do you want me to teach you
a letter A?

Of course, why would I say no?
Please, teach me.

Don't get distracted!

This is a capital A

Yeah, I don't need the minor ones,

the capital one is what I need!

Now you try to write

Try harder

- Is it good now?
- No, it's very bad.

Take your place

Ask me to do this again

It's enough. Learn the letter
A for tomorrow

I'll learn it, I'll
do my best

It's time for me to go
to get some wood

And you be a good girl,

don't think about running
back home

Little Masha was a smart girl,

she understood that the bear
wouldn't let her go

so she though of a trick

Wait! Uncle Ted!

I have a request for you!

What is it, little Masha?

I will bake some pies,

so when you come back

would you please take my
first pies

to Grandpa and Grandma?
would you please take my
first pies

to Grandpa and Grandma?

Well, this is
an excellent idea,
to Grandpa and Grandma?

Well, this is
an excellent idea,

bake a lot of pies, the
whole basket

and I will deliver it.

I'll bake the pies

and then...

I'll go to gather
raspberries in the wood

Good girl! Just leave
the basket in the hut

Yes, I will leave it

But watch out, don't eat all of
my pies on your way there!

I know that you have a sweet tooth

Yes, I have this little sin,
I won't deny it

I will climb the highest oak tree

from which one can see everything

and I'll watch you!

Oh, what an idea!

See you, little Masha!

See you, Uncle Ted!

Hey, little Masha!

Little Masha!

Little Masha!

Oh, smells so good!

Just a little one,
noone will notice

I sit up high and see you well

Don't you sit on that stump,
don't you eat that little one!

Wow! What a girl!

She really did climb that oak!

Just a little one,
noone will notice

I sit up high and see you well

Don't you sit on that stump,
don't you eat that little one!

Good afternoon

Are you Masha's Grandpa
and Grandma?

Yes, we are her
Grandpa and Grandma

Your Granddaughter is
in good health

She's baked you some pies

Ah, who needs those pies!
Where is our Granddaughter?

Ah no, I will not tell you,
I will not reveal...

She lives like a queen!

You have just this one house

and she has the whole wood!

Take the pies

Oh, Bear, tell us where is
little Masha?

I am alive!
I am alive!

- Little Masha!
- Our Granddaughter!

Oh, I have delivered both
Granddaughter

and pies

Enjoy your meal!

Grandpa, Grandma!

This is Uncle Ted

I was lost in the wood and
he gave me shelter

Thank you!

I baked these pies for you,
Uncle Ted!

Please, help yourself.

Uncle Ted, please, don't be
cross with me, I had to trick you

You wouldn't let me go!

I am not cross with you!
I am to blame for this.

Oh, what a good Granddaughter
you have!

Well, now if there is any holiday

come to our place!
- I'll be your guest!

Come over, Uncle Ted!

We will study together!

This is the end of a fairy tale

The Bear has learnt

that there's no place
like home

With friends one is fine,
but at home it's divine

The End
