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
