"figs" "raisins" "Sweet buns" "Figs" "raisins" "Sweet buns"

Noon hour! Time to eat, men!

Go away!

Father is here!

Tomorrow I leave on a long journey

When I will return I cannot say...

While I am away, I want only one thing from my daughters...

Listen to me , girls...

You must find a way to live together... in peace...

...and harmony too, with no bickering and no fighting.

Only love! If you do this one thing for me...

I will bring you back anything you wish!

Whatever your heart desires!

So, tell me, what will you have me bring you, dearest oldest.

Oh, Let me think. I want...a crown.

Like no one else has ever had.

Covered in jewels

Rubies and diamonds...Solid gold.

So people will say of me: "Is she not beautiful".

You shall have your beautifull crown!

And what shall I bring back for you, my pretty Liodushka?

I don't know. Not much...

Only a triffle i've heard about... It's a magic mirror.

When you look into it, you are forever young!

With it I will never look old, and I will always be...

young and pretty...Ha ha

You will always look pretty to me. Mirror, or not!

And...what of you...Nastinka?

What shall I bring for you? Tell me.

Once in a dream I saw it. A flower

Crimson red and peculiar, with a sadness about it.

Ha, ha, ha. A sad flower - Ridiculious.

Goodbye Nastinka. I will find you your crimson flower. I promess.

I'll take it! My daughter will be pleased!

What an unusual country this is!

Perhaps it's the place to find Nastinka's flower.

Look there! Look at that!

Look over there. Stephen! look!

A crown of gold,covered with jewels It's what she wanted!

All our goods are sold! We've done well!

And our gifts are gathered!

It's time for us to go home! Not quit.

I have no gift for Anastasia!

The crimson flower! It is what I promised

Look stephen! look out there!

Fish that fly without wings! Strange creatures that glow...

Perhaps we've reached the end of the world!

It's time to turn back! I cannot turn back...

I must find the crimson flower!

The sky is too clear!

A strong wind is with us!

Secure the mast!!!

Comrades, Pull,Pull!!!

Pull!

Stephen!!!

Stephen!! Dear Stephen, Were are you!!

Where am I? Where have I landed?

Where is my ship? My Crew?

This land is like none I've ever seen! Let's go inland!

If there's a palace here, I'm not alone here!

Ohh. A boat appears...Would it be real?!

Is anyone here? ..yone here...ere?

Hello!!

Hello!

Is anyone here? Answer! If you are there!

Perhaps I am alone after all! Alone ....and hungry...

Well,...thank you!

Delicious soup!

And This? Ha,ha!

A toast to the master of the house!

Music! You think of everything! Thank you!

I thank you for the meal.

What is this!?

The flower for my little one!

Ah! What have you done?!

How dare you take my greatest treasure How dare you take my flower!

I welcomed you!

Gave you every comfort in the whole of the world.

Yet, you repay me by taking my greatest joy!

I didn't know.

Why did you take my precious flower?

For my youngest daughter.

Nastinka, if you please.

Your dearest? Nastinka?

What a kind and loving daughter she must be...

For her...I will let you leave... with the crimson flower.

but you must give your solemn promiss...

That one of your daughters will return in your place!

Im my place? No, I cannot do that!

I will not harm her! She will be well cared for!

Never!

You do not know a father's heart!

So be it! Someone must pay for your transgression!

Or you must die!

I will give you a magic ring...

who ever places it on their finger will instantly return to me.

You, or one of your daughters!!

Look there men! On that island!

There he is!

At last we have found our good captain!

look at me!!

Oh, come here! oh.

Get away now...

Let me have a chance to admire my wonderful gift!

Wonderfull gift?

The flower of my dream!

The sweet crimson flower.

You must swear to me with a solemn vow...

At sunrise i must put om the ring..

and return... to the terrible beast.

What? - No stephen, don't go! You musn't!

I gave my word, my promis. The ship is yours!

and I entrust you the care of my beloved daughters.

Stephen! Dear Stephen!!

I made a promis.

I must pay the price - Stephen!

Please, do as I ask!

Thake care of my home!

Be father to my children!

Especially...Nastinka!

What did you cause?You ugly dream-flower!

It is not your fault, but mine!

And it's not you who should answer for it...but me!

My foolish request made you take the crimson flower!

Not you should pay the price!

Mastinka!

I beg you...

Forgive your foolish daughter!

Nastinka!!

I...brought you flower back.

Thank you, Nastinka.

Forgive me. I am sorry my father took it!
