[Telephone]
Hello - Hello
Yes - Do you hear me?
Don't hang up - Yes yes
Do you hear me? -Yes, yes!
My telephone rings.
“Hello! Who’s there?” - “The elephant.”
“Calling from where?”
"From the camel's"
What do you want?
Chocolate.
For whom?
For my son.
How much should I send?
“Oh, five or six tons."
"Five or six tons?"
"He can't eat more than that."
"He's still a little kid"
"A little kid",he!
[For elephant: Six tons of chocolate]
Then comes a call...
from Crocodile
who says with tears in his eyes
My dear benefactor
please send some galoshes
for me, and my wife and my toddler Totosha
- Wait, Didn't I send you last week already two pairs of galoshes?
Oh, the ones that you sent us last week, we have already finished eating.
And we can not wait,
till you send us again
For our supper...a dozen.. New and Sweet galoshes!
[For crocodile A dozen pairs of galoshes]
And recently two gazelles called and sang:
Is it true that the merry-go-rounds at the carnival have all burned down?” "- Are you out of your..
...of your minds, you silly dear.
Oh dear, oh dear. Isn't it true that all the merry-go-rounds have burned down?
The merry-go-rounds have not burned down, and the swings are all fine, too;
Is that so? I say! They haven't burned down...
You gazelles, chatterboxes, would better go to the carnival next week
and ride the merry-go-rounds and the swings.
Is that so? I say!
And then the herons called.
Rush us over a bottle of those Little pink pills!…
We’ve swallowed every frog in the lake, and our stomaches ache.
This is us, the hares, it's us... Is it possible to send us gloves?
This is the deer speaking... Hello, hello... I'm trying to reach you all day long.
"Ta ta ta ta ta ta ta, here are the monkeys Please send us books, yes books"
Do you recognize us? Tweet, tweet, tweet. This is us, little chickadees.
Tweet, tweet, tweet. Please send us some matches
This is the deer speaking... Hello, hello... I'm trying to reach you all day long.
Please save a sick walrus. He has swallowed a hedgehog.
And what's more surprising -- That hedgehog happened to be spiky.
And then called Bear
Yes he started, he started... to roar.
- Hold on, bear, don't just roar, Please explain what you want?
but on he went with just "mu" and more "mu" But I couldn't make out for what or for who!
Please just hang up the phone.
And so it goes on all day long
Ting-a-ling! Ting-a-ling! Ting-a-long!
A seal telephones, then a deer.
Trouble! - Trouble! Trouble! - Trouble!
Who's there? - The rhino!
-”What’s the matter”
“Terrible trouble, Come on the double!”
“What’s the matter? Why the fuss?” “Save him!” - “Who?” -“The Hippopotamus.
He’s sinking out there in that awful swamp…’’ “In the swamp?” - “Yes, he’s stuck.”
Can't get out, can not stay if you don't come right away...
He’ll drown in that damp and dismal swamp. He’ll die, he’ll croak, oh, oh, Poor Hippo-po.”
All right, Okay! I'm coming right away!
Whew! What a job! You need some luck To help a Hippo when he’s stuck!
