Jumping over the puddles

The pedestrians huddle

As the sky lashes out in a storm.

And they look, and they wonder --

In this rain, in this thunder,

Why I'm smiling and singing a song.

And I'm playing my garmoshka

loud for everyone to hear.

What a pity, that a birthday

Comes just once a year.

There will come a magician

In a blue helicopter

and will throw us a show for free.

Then he'll stay for the party,

And when he is departing,

He'll make candy grow up on the trees.

And I'm playing my garmoshka

Loud for everyone to hear.

It's a pity that a birthday

Comes just once a year.

It's a pity that a birthday

Comes but once a year.

- Hello. Is this the house of Gena the Crocodile?

- Yes, this is where he lives. It's me.

Then please sign this.

- Hello, Gena! - Hello!

I wish you a happy birthday.

Thank you! Is this for me?

Yes.

Cheburashka, you're a true friend!

Scouts...

Scouts.

Real scouts...

- Ah, I'd love to be able to march like that.

- March? To become a scout, you have to do a lot of good deeds. Understand?

I understand...

- Wow, it's very pretty. - Very.

- Want to launch it? - Okay.

One...

Two...

- Three! - Hang on, let me!

- Hold on to this. - Okay.

Hold tight, now.

- Like that? - Like that!

Chaburashka! Hold on!

Cheburashka! Did you get hurt?

No. Not even a tiny bit.

Phew. I was so worried for you!

Scouts again.

Gena... Let's ask if we can join.

No, Cheburashka, they won't take us.

- Why not? Maybe they will. Come on, let's try!

All right, let's try!

- Hello. - Hello!

Will you let us join you?

You? Join our scout troop? No way.

Though you could join as pets.

- We don't want to be pets! We want to be scouts!

- Do you know how to make bird houses? - No, we don't.

- Ever had to set up a campfire? - No, never.

- Perhaps you know how to march? - No idea.

See. You guys are not ready yet.
