you disappeared, gramps?
Old man!
I said he was not a simple old man.
Where are you going?
Perhaps there's nothing like that
flower in our land?
One can only see it in dreams.
Yerofeich, we got to go,
we must hurry!
Alyona dear, where's your scarlet
flower? How can I find it?
Yerofei Yerofeich,
are you sleeping or what?
You're sitting in the water.
All our goods are lost.
The goods got wet, Yerofeich!
They're not precious goods,
just boots and samovars!
Yerofeich!
Yerofeich...
Yegorka, fish are swimming to us!
Look, Yerofeich, a miracle!
The old man of yesterday's coming.
- Hey, gramps!
- Old man!
- Good day.
- Good afternoon.
- Does it bite?
- You're scaring the fish off.
Look, fisherman,
can you show me the way?
I've been riding all day,
looking for a certain man.
What else do you want?
I'm wondering, are you the same man
or not?
No, you're not. That man was
very old, about a hundred years old.
You think I'm not yet a hundred?
You? No.
Let me look in the mirror,
maybe I got younger.
I've got a dressing mirror somewhere,
with scrolls.
Where did you get that mirror?
I walked, and I found it. I decided
to pick it, it might come handy.
No, I'm not younger, that's me.
- Let me look in it, too.
- You may have it, I don't need it.
But it might be useful to you,
merchant.
You are not a simple old man.
You've helped me once again.
My other daughter told me
to bring her a dressing mirror
with scrolls.
You're not so simple either. You want
to ask me something, but you won't.
I'm looking for... My youngest, and
dearest, daughter asked me to bring...
She said not to tell anyone about it.
I see. Then we are going
the same way. Come on.
Row straight ahead,
do not take any turns.
What about you?
Anyone here?
Just look at that!
Is there anyone alive here?
Good evening!
Thank you very much.
I'm not used to feasting alone,
but I just have to try it.
Isn't it something!
- Tell the court hangman to come here!
- I will!
O, our formidable ruler,
what would be your ruling?
My unruly son is to be put to death!
When I was free, I had lots of
friends. When in trouble, I have none.
Farewell, North, South,
West and East!
Farewell, czars, czarinas, maidens!
Farewell thee, too, murderous father!
I love you as ever,
I put you to death forever!
Farewell, my angel.
Farewell, the joy of my heart.
Am I dreaming, or am I awake?
- Did anyone drop in?
- Yes.
Who?!
Where on earth is everybody?
Are they all dead?
Am I all alone here?
Did you like the treat?
Ah, that's you, the old man not so
simple. How did you get here?
Why don't you stay here, merchant?
Be our guest for a year or two.
I have no time to visit with you.
I like you. I wanted to get myself
a comrade.
I must hurry, they wait for me
at home, and my trade calls me up.
Old man?!
He disappeared again.
Old man, where are you?
Where can he be?
Old man!
Come on, let me out,
I've lost my way!
Old man, why did you lure me in here?
That old man...
He got me all confused.
I beg your pardon, ma'am.
Why are you coughing all the time?
Come here, I'll cure you.
Thank you, ma'am. I've lost my way,
I don't know the way out.
Come on, take a sniff,
you'll be all right in a jiffy.
Madam...
This is a wonderful remedy,
believe me.
Sir!
Let me go, ma'am.
I need to go home.
Everyone's in a hurry, everyone's
running, everyone wants something.
It makes one crazy.
I don't agree with you,
everything is quite interesting here.
And I like that solitude.
But, please, let me go,
I'd better come some other time.
Why some other time,
why not now?
Come on, you wanted to make
a present to your daughter.
But remember, the scarlet flower
has never made anyone happy.
Go now.
Thank you, Madam.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Goodbye...
Thief! Thief!
You've taken my flower!
You came to me as a guest,
I was expecting a guest,
and you made fun of me.
Have mercy, my fair master,
you forest beast,
you deep
