Narrator

Act one

In the foreground on the left and right are several snow-covered trees. In the background is a winter forest.

Narrator

Like from our village
The trail freezes along the edge,
Blizzard ruffled,
Snow-covered.
All day the blizzard sweeps
Weaves good stories.
A blizzard wove into a braid -
The story will be about Lisa.

Fox appears from behind the trees on the left and starts to roll a snowball.

I dream of one
Sculpt a beautiful house
To be as strong as a stone
So that it was light in it at night,
To sparkle like a gem!
After all, there is no such thing anywhere!

From behind the trees on the right, the Hare comes out towards the Fox and bows.

Hello good neighbor!
Too bad we rarely see each other.
What are you sculpting - a bull,
Christmas tree or snowman?

Fox (boastfully)

I will finish this com
And build myself a house
shining under the moon,
Star reflective!
Not like your hut.
Get your ears out of here!

Hare (admiringly)

You work wonders here!
Goodbye, Lisa!

The hare bypasses the Fox and hides behind the trees on the left. The fox continues to build a house.

Lisa (singing)

Sleeping bear in a den
Paws on the doorstep
In a terrible cramped
Squirrels sleep in a hollow -
Animals toil
In tiny huts
If only the day is rainy
Spend it warm!
But the beautiful fox
Dreaming of something else:

To have a castle to heaven,
Like fairy princesses
With towers, columns,
With windows, balconies,
With fireplace shelves
With long stairs
From diamond-crystal
More beautiful than the king!
For everyone to envy
Coloring fox!

But palaces-chambers,
Oh expensive!
And not affordable
Poor animal.
Wolves, hares, pigs
Everyone lives in huts.
I will stand up with my chest
For your dream.
I am a beautiful fox
I will live as I like:

In a wonderful castle to heaven,
Like fairy princesses
With towers, columns,
With windows, balconies,
With fireplace shelves
With long stairs
From frosty crystal
More beautiful than the king!
Everyone will envy
Coloring fox!

An ice house slowly appears in the clearing in the middle.

Narrator

The fox tried all day
To finish the house on time.
And she left to put
Only on the roof of the weather vane.
The cockerel blinded skillfully
She climbed up there.

The fox climbs onto the roof.

Fox (proudly)

I blinded what I wanted -
A whole castle made of ice!

The fox hides behind the house and appears in the window.

Narrator

Never before
No one saw in the forest.
About the new crystal castle
And about the fox lady
Forty news were spread.
And see the miracle
Gathered at home together
Bull, dog and bear.

A bear, a dog and a bull come out from behind the trees on the right into the clearing.

Wow, a lair is what you need!

The whole herd will fit here!

Yes! Such a kennel
Do not change to a hole!

The bear approaches the palace and touches it with its paw.

Very strong wall
She will weather the storm.

Fox (arrogantly)

Paws off! Who did you say!
I didn't invite you to visit.
Don't follow the porch!
Get out of my palace!

Bear and Bull look at each other. The dog walks away. The fox hides in the window.

Eh, the mansions are so mansions
Raised a godfather.
It's good for her to stay at home
It's winter outside.
I'm in my lair now
It's embarrassing to live next to her.
Is there a rug on the doorstep
From chinchilla put ?!

Yes, now we are no match for her,
Look how you turned up your nose!
Should I go to the barn,
Should I hang mirrors?

You say, Borka, business,
You have to decorate your home.
Here is Lisa, she managed.

Bull (with a sigh)

Too bad he doesn't want to be invited.
To see the situation
To adopt the experience of foxes.
What's in the bedroom, what's in the closet...

Through the wall do not understand!

Here's a repair in the spring,
I will call woodpeckers, beavers ...
I can build a palace
For my seven cows.
I'll build it on the hill
I will gild the horns of all.
I'll set it up there...

Yes, I want a palace!
Okay, well, I'll go to the lair,
I'll sleep until spring.

Yes, it's time for me to go
Come join us for pancakes!

Action two

In the foreground on the left is Zaikin's hut, on the right are several spring trees, in the background is a forest.

Narrator

The fox tried all winter,
Remodeled the house.
Decorated, tidied up
She was good in it.
But spring has come, from home
There was no trace left.
All fox mansions
Melt water washed away.
At the same moment the fox found
Easy way out
And went to beg
Wait at the neighbor's house.

Fox with a bundle enters the clearing from behind the trees on the right and heads towards Zaikin's hut. Fox knocks on the door.

Fox (ingratiatingly)

Bunny, you open the door for me,
I am homeless now.
Sun harmful beam
Destroyed my house.
Bunny, honey, let me go.
If there is anything, I'm sorry!

The hare looks out of the window.

Once trouble happened to you,
I will save you from her!
Come on, do me a favor.

You are the kindest in the forest!

I have a simple hut
With a broken pipe.
But it does not melt in the spring.
We will live together with you.

Fox enters the house. The hare hides, and the fox looks out of the window.

Ah, thank you, dear bunny,
We will live together with you.
Your house is really ugly
But he is the whole house!
Bunny, I see, in the pantry
You don't have stock.
You go pick carrots
We have a festive dinner.

The hare leaves the house and heads to the right of the hut. The fox disappears through the window.

Stock up, really.
Necessary. What am I going to get?
I will find now, in April,
Last year's boots.
But I'm a fox savior
You have to feed the fox.
Okay, I'm aspen bark
I'll bring it to us for lunch.
(to the audience)
From edge to edge
Ears catch every rustle -
The elk is walking, the pine tree is creaking,
And spring sings in the streams!
If you have ears
Listen to this song:
(sings)
Hazel wakes up
The snowdrop blossoms
And a bee buzzes over it.
Snow is melting! Spring came!

On gray marsh hummocks
leaves break through,
Mirror ice melts
And they ring: Spring has come!

The sun shines brighter in the sky
A fair wind beckons the birds,
The squirrel came out of the hollow!
Everyone is happy! Spring came!

Happy birds and animals!
My tail is happy, ears are happy!
Festival of Light and Warmth
Has come! Spring came!

The hare hides behind the trees on the right, after a while he reappears with a large bag and returns to the hut.

Narrator

With a big bag,
stuffed with alder bark,
Hare returned home
It knocks and the door is closed.

Open Lisa! Open, please!

Lisa looks out of the window.

Fox (angrily)

This is how I bite you!
Hey, there, what else impudent
Looking to get into the house?
Look, what fashion he took -
Break into someone else's door!
Well, actually
Leave before you eat!

Hare (sobbing)

Everyone says the fox is cunning
And don't expect any good from her.
Well, how could I, the unfortunate one,
Let the fox on the threshold?

The hare is crying.

Narrator

In the thicket of the dark forest
It's scary to be homeless.
The bunny is crying, and the fox
Never mind those tears.
Cry until dawn
She has no business.

A dog appears from behind the trees in the clearing.

dog (singing)

I am a dog, tail and mouth,
Take a step and don't fall!
But if you give a double-barreled shotgun,
I will go to the wolf!

Everyone around me is telling me
That a dog is your best friend.
Here to catch a cat -
"Make friends" a little!

I had an owner
Yes, I forgot in the forest!
I am now a dog
Wild, however!

You can download the sheet music and midi file for this song here: Song of the Dog.

Hi oblique! How is your life?
Why are you shedding tears in three streams?
Something happened, I'll see.
I will serve if needed.

Everyone in the forest will laugh -
I let a fox into my house.
She didn't even have a day.
Kicked me out of the house!

I'll fix your trouble
I'll make Lisa leave!

The dog approaches the hut.

Woof! Woof! Come on, get out!

Who else is there? Wait for it!
I'll go out for you now
I'll show you my fangs.
And ruthlessly clawed
I'll tear you to pieces!

The hare presses his ears, and the dog runs to the right behind the trees. The fox disappears into the house.

Hare (crying again)

The fox is cunning - she closed the door!
And even though you climb out of your skin,
Nobody in the forest, nobody now
It won't help me in trouble.

The hare slowly walks away from the house to the forest, the Bear comes out from behind the trees to meet him.

Bear (singing)

All bears know
Not on the whole planet
Sweeter words than these:
Honey, honey, honey!

Sweeter than chocolate
Sweeter than marmalade
Sweeter than refined sugar
Honey, honey, honey!

He's so stretchy
Delicious and sticky
The very best
Honey, honey, honey!

It is assembled with love
Important for health
I have it ready
All year round!

Bear (fun)

Hello Bunny! What are you sad about
When is Bear so cheerful?
Why are you trembling like a mouse,
What ears hung to one side?

Hare (sighing)

Everyone in the forest will laugh -
I let a fox into my house.
She didn't even have a day.
Kicked me out of the house!

I'll take care of you, brother,
Keep your ears up!
Lisa now I'll show
How to take away the huts!

The dog tried to drive her away,
Now I don't know where to look.

Well, I'll try
Foxes are not afraid!
(shouting to the fox)
Lisa, come on out!

Fox looks out the window.

Who is there again? Wait for it!
I'll go out for you now
I'll show you my fangs.
And ruthlessly clawed
I'll tear you to pieces!

The hare presses his ears, and the Bear runs away behind the trees. The fox is hiding.

Hare (doomed)

The fox is as strong as a hundred beasts
She cannot be defeated.
In order not to die, I'd rather
Will have to leave.

The hare again goes from the house to the forest, the Bull comes out from behind the trees to meet him.

Bull (singing)

At the horned bull
Life is nice and easy
Kohl his cow
Alive and well!

And the cows in the spring
Good, as in a wonderful dream -
They walk from the barn,
Like queens!

I will climb a pine tree
I will shout: “I love spring!”
This time of year
The best weather!

Bull (Hare)

Hello my friend. Tell me
Aren't you glad for spring?
Did bad news come?
What's with wet eyes?

Hare (looking around)

Everyone in the forest will laugh -
I let a fox into my house.
She didn't even have a day.
Kicked me out of the house!

What, does not let, redhead?
We will drive the shameless!
I'm happy to help
Well, let's go fight!

The dog tried to drive her away,
Now I don't know where to look.
The bear tried to drive away,
But he was also scared.
I am very afraid for you.

As long as I'm around, don't be afraid!
(shouting to Lisa)
Fox, come out quickly!

Fox looks out the window.

And you, Bull, are you here? Wait for it!
I'll go out for you now
I'll show you my fangs.
And ruthlessly clawed
I'll tear you to pieces!

The hare presses his ears, and the Ox runs away behind the trees. The fox is hiding. The hare stands and cries.

Hare (singing)

The poor hare is crying
Gray and small!
Tears fall to the ground -
I will not return to the house.
Cap! Cap! Cap!
Cap! Cap! Cap!

Everything is gone - the table and the oven,
Nowhere to sit and nowhere to lie!
Crying, crying hare
Gray and small!
Cap! Cap! Cap!
Cap! Cap! Cap!

How not to cry, not grieve,
If there is no place for a bunny to live?
Tears fall to the ground -
I will not return to the house.
Cap! Cap! Cap!
Cap! Cap! Cap!

Fox appears in the window

Fox (Hare)

When are you still coming
And bring someone
I do not vouch for myself.
Eat you, stubborn Hare!

The hare starts to run in fear.

Narrator

Scared the bunny
New mistress.
No control over the fox
There are no intercessors in the forest!
And he decided in the thicket
run away,
Hide under an old stump
And cry all day!

The hare almost reaches the forest, when the Rooster comes out from behind the trees into the clearing and stops him.

Hey, where are you running to?
Stop, pause!
Well, why are you trembling
Little bunny?
Maybe someone offended suddenly?
He will cry for us!
What happened dear friend
What does all of this mean?

The hare tries to run away, but the Rooster holds him back.

Probably everyone in the forest knows
That I let the fox in.
She didn't even have a day.
Kicked me out of the house!
You return to the perch.
She threatened to eat everyone!

I thought the massacre had begun
Breaks the tornado of the forest.
And you moved into the house
Some fox!
Let the godfather threaten to eat us,
Let's save your house!
If the fox does not leave by itself,
I will close it!

The dog tried to drive her away,
Now I don't know where to look.
The bear tried to drive away,
But he was also scared.
And the Bull wanted to butt her,
But he barely managed to escape.
You, Petya, don't try
Save the hut for the Hare.

Well, bunny, calm down!
Don't be afraid for me.

The rooster comes to the house.

I carry a scythe on my shoulder,
I will cut the fox
It hurts, it's merciless
In order not to be habitual
It was to open her mouth
And steal other people's houses!

I'll go out for you now
I'll show you my fangs.
And ruthlessly clawed
I'll tear you to pieces!

The hare presses its ears and trembles.

Rooster (singing menacingly)

I carry a scythe on my shoulder,
I will cut the Fox
And the infantry follows me -
A company of clumsy bears,
One hundred hungry bad wolves
Two hundred mad bulls.
We will trample the Fox,
fox fur coat to shreds
It hurts, it hurts, mercilessly,
To-to not habitually
It was to open her mouth
And steal other people's houses!

The fox jumps out of the hut in horror and runs towards the forest.

Oh save! Oh, they killed!
They let me in the world!

Narrator

fox scared
For furs and bodies,
Jumped out the window
Good riddance!

The fox hides behind the trees. The Hare hugs the Rooster.

Hare (joyfully)

Thank you, rooster
You erased the fox into powder
And saved my hut!
We'll go there now.
We will be friends forever
And live in the same hut.

Let's live happily together
Let's fix the old house
A friend to your enemies
No more offending!

Hare and Rooster (sing in chorus)

The snow turns into a puddle
Water flows away
Only friendship, our friendship
Will never disappear!
As the jug does not break,
Will not wither like a flower.
If there is a friend in the world,
So you are not alone.

The balloon will deflate,
A star will fall from heaven
Only friendship, our friendship
Will never disappear!
With a friend, misfortunes are not terrible,
Life is more fun with a friend.
There is no more happiness in the world
Than to be friends with you all my life.

Everything will pass the heat and cold,
Days, weeks and years.
Only friendship, our friendship
Will never disappear!

The Rooster and the Hare enter the hut.


Once upon a time there lived a fox and a hare in the forest. They lived not far from each other. Autumn came. It became cold in the forest. They decided to build huts for the winter. The chanterelle built herself a hut from loose snow, and the bunny built herself from loose sand. They overwintered in new huts. Spring has come, the sun has warmed. The chanterelles on the hut have melted, and the hare is standing as it was. The fox came to the bunny's hut, drove the bunny out, and she herself remained in his hut.

The hare went out of his yard, sat down under a birch and cries. The wolf is coming. He sees the bunny crying.

Why are you crying bunny? - asks the wolf.

How can I, a bunny, not cry? We lived with the fox close to each other. We built ourselves huts: I - from loose sand, and she - from loose snow. Spring has come. Her hut has melted, but mine stands as it stood. A fox came, kicked me out of my hut, and stayed in it to live. Here I sit and cry.

They went. They came. The wolf stood on the threshold of the hare's hut and shouted at the fox:

Why did you climb into someone else's hut? Get down, fox, from the stove, otherwise I'll throw it off, beat your shoulders. The fox was not afraid, answers the wolf:

Oh, wolf, beware: my tail is like a rod, - as I give, so is death to you here.

The wolf got scared and ran away. And left the bunny. The hare sat down again under the birch and wept bitterly.

A bear is walking through the forest. He sees - a bunny sits under a birch and cries.

Why are you crying bunny? - asks the bear.

How can I, a bunny, not cry? We lived with the fox close to each other. We built ourselves huts: I - from loose sand, and she - from loose snow. Spring has come. Her hut has melted, but mine stands as it stood. A fox came, kicked me out of my hut and stayed there to live. So here I sit and cry.

Don't cry, bunny. Let's go, I'll help you, I'll drive the fox out of your hut.

They went. They came. The bear stood on the threshold of the hare's hut and shouted at the fox:

Why did you take the hut from the bunny? Get down, fox, from the stove, otherwise I'll throw it off, beat your shoulders.

The fox was not afraid, he answered the bear:

Oh, bear, beware: my tail is like a rod - as I give, so is death to you here.

The bear was frightened and ran away and left the bunny alone.

Again the hare went out of his yard, sat down under the birch and wept bitterly. Suddenly he sees - a rooster is walking through the forest. I saw a bunny, came up and asked:

Why are you crying bunny?

But how can I, bunny, not cry? We lived with the fox close to each other. We built ourselves huts: I - from loose sand, and she - from loose snow. Spring has come. Her hut has melted, but mine stands as it stood. A fox came, kicked me out of my hut and stayed there to live. Here I sit and cry.

Do not cry, bunny, I will drive the fox out of your hut.

Oh, petenka, - the bunny cries, - where do you kick her out? The wolf drove - did not drive out. The bear drove - did not drive out.

And here I am kicking it out. Come on, says the rooster. Went. A rooster entered the hut, stood on the threshold, crowed, and then screamed:

I am a rooster-chebetukh, I am a bastard songstress, On short legs, On high heels. I carry a scythe on my shoulder, I'll take the Fox's head off.

And the fox lies and says:

Oh, rooster, beware: my tail is like a rod, - as I give, so is death to you here.

The cockerel jumped from the threshold into the hut and again shouts:

I am a rooster-chebetukh, I am a bastard songstress, On short legs, On high heels. I carry a scythe on my shoulder, I'll take the Fox's head off.

And - jump on the stove to the fox. He pecked the fox in the back. How the fox jumped up and how it ran out of the hare's hut, and the hare slammed the doors behind her.

And he remained to live in his hut with a cockerel.

Oh, Petenka, - the bunny cries, - where do you kick her out? The wolf drove - did not drive out. The bear drove - did not drive out.

And here I am kicking it out. Come on, says the rooster. Went. A rooster entered the hut, stood on the threshold, crowed, and then screamed:

I am a rooster
I am a babbler,
On short legs
On high heels.
I carry a scythe on my shoulder,
I'll take the fox's head off.

And the fox lies and says:

Oh, rooster, beware: my tail is like a rod, - as I give, so is death to you here.

The cockerel jumped from the threshold into the hut and again shouts:

The wolf got scared and ran away. And left the bunny. The hare sat down again under the birch and wept bitterly.

A bear is walking through the forest. He sees - a bunny sits under a birch and cries.

Why are you crying bunny? - asks the bear.

How can I, a bunny, not cry? We lived with the fox close to each other. We built ourselves huts: I - from loose sand, and she - from loose snow. Spring has come. Her hut has melted, but mine stands as it stood. A fox came, kicked me out of my hut and stayed there to live. So here I sit and cry.

Don't cry, bunny. Let's go, I'll help you, I'll drive the fox out of your hut.

They went. They came. The bear stood on the threshold of the hare's hut and shouted at the fox:

Why did you take the hut from the bunny? Get down, fox, from the stove, otherwise I'll throw it off, beat your shoulders.

The fox was not afraid, he answered the bear:

Oh, bear, beware: my tail is like a rod - as I give, so is death to you here.

The bear was frightened and ran away and left the bunny alone. Again the hare went out of his yard, sat down under the birch and wept bitterly. Suddenly he sees - a rooster is walking through the forest. I saw a bunny, came up and asked:

Why are you crying bunny?

But how can I, bunny, not cry? We lived with the fox close to each other. We built ourselves huts: I - from loose sand, and she - from loose snow. Spring has come. Her hut has melted, but mine stands as it stood. A fox came, kicked me out of my hut and stayed there to live. Here I sit and cry.

Do not cry, bunny, I will drive the fox out of your hut.

Oh, petenka, - the bunny cries, - where do you kick her out? The wolf drove - did not drive out. The bear drove - did not drive out.

And here I am kicking it out. Come on, says the rooster. Went. A rooster entered the hut, stood on the threshold, crowed, and then screamed:

I am a rooster
I am a babbler,
On short legs
On high heels.
I carry a scythe on my shoulder,
I'll take the fox's head off.

And the fox lies and says:

Oh, rooster, beware: my tail is like a rod, - as I give, so is death to you here.

The cockerel jumped from the threshold into the hut and again shouts:

I am a rooster
I am a babbler,
On short legs
On high heels.
I carry a scythe on my shoulder,
I'll take the fox's head off.

And - jump on the stove to the fox. He pecked the fox in the back. How the fox jumped up and how it ran out of the hare's hut, and the hare slammed the doors behind her.

And he remained to live in his hut with a cockerel.
