is hungry. No, I won't . You're sitting on the oats, and the horse hasn't been fed. So what? - Well, then... - What? - My supper... - What? - Don't cook it! - It'll never be your way! Just to spite you, I'll... cook it! Then I'll give it to you with this dusty... What? Nothing, nothing. Just kidding. Come and eat. - You tyrant! - What's in there? What a stubborn woman! Doing everything the other way round. But it is just what I wanted. What a character! It's no good to go to town at night, the monster may gobble us. Hey, anyone who won't fear and blunder, Everyone who wanted to see a wonder, If you're not afraid!.. Mummers are coming. Stay put, don't move. Miracles are boiling, Treasures are glimmering! Let all go rolling, Let all go swiveling! Company, halt! Peace to you from us. Greetings, soldier. Where are you heading? You going for a good reason, or you contemplating treason? I'm going on an official secret business. - We should feed the soldier. - No way! And what's your secret business? Asking questions without giving me nothing to drink or eat first? What's that in your pot? If it's borscht, then serve piroshki. For you, my dear, everything's here: Pike and white fish, and piroshki with relish! A guest in the stable, you put your tail on the table. - A tail? Am I a witch or what? - We should ask your husband. Oh, soldier, wealthy we are not, only water in our pot. Never mind. Alyonushka, go fetch some firewood. I'm going to treat you to a soldier's fare. Stop joking, soldier! I'm notjoking. I'll cook you soup from an axe. Is it ever possible to make soup from an axe? If you know how to, you can even cut a cow in two. Oh, look! The front you put in a sink, the behind you milk. Have you got a pinch of salt? Yes. Too little salt is not a great fault. Give me an onion for more taste. And a little bit of bacon? Now some groats go in troop! And you got the soldier's soup! Smart boy! The soup is so rich! The axe was very meaty. Great! Well, hostess, the meal on me, the bread on you. Taste it. Delicious! Go away, we got nothing to offer you! They almost knocked me off my feet, little rascals. And where did that old witch come from? Come to our fire, granny. Thank you, beautiful. Take a seat. Nenila, how come you're here? I'm gathering herbs and roots with my friends. On the night of lvan Kupala they gain their medicinal power. - Help yourself, granny. - Thank you. Let all your sorrows, hurts and troubles burn down together with this herb. Turn this beggar out. The old witch will bring disaster upon us. How can I drive an old woman out into the woods at night? She won't eat much here, and in the wood the beasts may eat her. Stop scaring the old thing. Well, when are we going to eat the axe? The axe's not done yet, it's still too hard. Oh, soldier, you sly fox! Just look at him! What do you know! He tricked me! Yes, you, such a devious woman... I mean, clever. Who's that? That must be the monster roaring! Don't kill the monster! People say that's not a beast but a man with a spell over him. And that spell can only be lifted by a fair maiden who will fall in love with him and be ready to marry him. We should tell the Voivode about it. You say a man with a spell over him? I see you've got a kind heart. Well, I must hurry up to the merchants' quarter. Goodbye, good people. What do you mean, goodbye? And where's your thank you? You ate our porridge, you got warm by our fire just for nothing? I'm sorry, my dear. I forgot. As soon as the fern begins to blossom, take this branch and say over it your most cherished wish. Whatever you wish, it'll come true. I wish... Grandma? Hey, grandma! Stop joking! Don'tjoke, you old thing! Oh, I do have a wish with horns. Where's our fern? Anfissa, dear, the fern is already in bloom. Hurry up! Make your wish!
