On the shores of the Cold Sea winter came...

and the old leader ... Turgun led his flock to the south.

Why are we stopping?

We all need to rest, Aykho, it is still a long way to go ...

Where to? How cunning you are!

Better wait till you grow horns.

Aykho? Aykho!

come here!

Keep stead-fast on your legs!.

Short tail!

You're hungry, son?

Look, what a nice leaf.

Are you here again!

Always interfering, Short tail?!

Do not worry, Aykho.

You see those mountains?

Behind them flows a big river

and across that river there is plenty ofjuicy, tasty reindeer-moss

And we will come there soon?

Soon, Aykho. Just be patient.

Aykho! Stay close to me!

Hurry up!

Do not fall behind!

You're still turn up here! You still did not had enough!

They're not gonna get him, Mom? Not gonna get him?

They did not catch our leader.

How strong he is, Mom!

You will be the same when you grow up, Aykho.

Let's go!

What's the matter, Aykho? Go ahead!

Me? ... l'm not afraid!

Your fawn has the heart of a hare.

l..., l am not a hare!

Cowardly hare!

She'sjustjoking.

Now let's leap!

Like this!... Well?

You don't have to be afraid of anything.

Come along, son.

Never look down Aykho.

Always forward. Always forward!

That's it.

When l grow up, l'll be like Turgun,

Just as bold.

- Right, Mom? - Of course, son.

Tengene again is busy with her fawn.

All busy, all busy, and we're ...

You'rejust an old grumbler.

Tengene is a good mother. We will wait for them.

One!

Two? - What are you doing?

l'm here, mama
