ambulance ready!
We're on our way.
Dangerous mad people!
Hurry up! Follow me!
Wait a minute! That's a pretty toy.
Stop them! Hooligans!
They stole a car!
They stole my car!
I won it! In a lottery!
Stop, I'm telling you!
I demand that you stop!
Stop them, folks!
They took my car! The stole it!
Sergeant Masliuchenko reporting.
A ''Moskvitch'' car is stolen.
License number 32-46.
32-46! I'm leaving my post.
Following the thieves!
Hurry up, Officer, I beg you!
Catch them!
Again!
We'll be late! Hurry up, Prosha!
- Stop yelling!
- What are we going to do?
That's the hollow!
Where to? Why?
Excuse me, are you school children?
- Yes, we are!
- We're bewitched!
- Turned to old people!
- Until sunset.
It happens.
We have to check this fact.
Please, don't detain us.
- Or we won't be able to turn...
- Back to kids...
I won't keep you long.
I'm a very good doctor.
I'll just check your heart rate.
- You won't give us any injections?
- No, no injections.
They're really kids.
They've got children's heart rate.
Just as I told you!
I'm afraid I'm going mad.
Tie me up! Carry me away!
Boys and girls...
Where to? Into the hollow, quick!
What about you?
- I'm afraid.
- Don't be!
That has been quite a day!
- I'm scared!
- The forest is so frightening!
Just an ordinary magic forest.
I know every path here.
- Still I'm afraid.
- Then remain an old man.
- Follow me, girls!
- What about me?
Hurry up! Anna!
Avdotya! Andriushka!
Where are they, sergeant?
The lock!
Friendly, hold up the magicians.
Do anything, but hold them up!
The window is shuttered.
- What shall we do?
- I'll try to get in by the chimney.
Cuckoo, do you hear me?
We can't open the door.
Help us!
Write on the door
the following words:
''Work before pleasure''.
But spell it right.
Then the door will open.
- We need a piece of chalk!
- I've got it!
I was on duty today at school.
- Work...
- Before...
- Pleasure!
- Pleasure!
Bloody dog, he's dead!
Beat him up, Prosha!
- Andriushka, bewitch the dog!
- Yes. I forgot the incantation!
Try to remember, or I'll kill you!
Snip, snap, snourre... No!
I got it!
Tip-top, doggy, stop!
Petrified, aren't you, bloody dog?
Work before plesure.
This is the end of us!
A mistake! ''Plesur''.
- It won't open!
- No, ''plesure''!
I know, it should be ''pleasure''!
I can't see anything.
- I'm scared!
- Let's open the shutters.
- Where's the clock?
- Over there!
Chigri-migri...
- Vasya, take the old man!
- I'm afraid!
Sharandy-barandy!
There you go!
It will serve you right!
What went from you that came to us!
What went from you that came to us!
I've come back, guys!
The spell is over!
Remember, kids:
work before pleasure!
Thank you, cuckoo!
All the years spent in vain
You will never get back again.
Whatever you're doing
Do it in good faith.
Whether studying at school,
Or operating with the tool,
Time should be always valued,
Time should be always saved.
Precious time, precious time,
Very precious time.
Every minute, every second
You and I will have to save.
The Tale's End
