Narrator: Once upon a time there was the cobbler Dratewka. He was very poor. His clothes were old and worn out and he has got only a small piece of bread in his bag. He was wandering from village to village and repaired old shoes to earn for life. One day he was walking through the forest when he saw the ruined ants’ nest.
Cobbler: It must have been the beer who ruined this nest. Poor ants! They’re working very hard now! I must help them!
Narrator: So he felt pity to the ants, took his hat off and with its help grabbed ( took) the nest together. Then the ants mother appeared and was very grateful.
Ants’ mother: Thank you, good man! If you need our help, please, let us know and we will help you.
Cobbler: You’re so small. How can you help me.
Narrator: Cobbler Dratewka smiled, bowed to ants and went further. He was walking through the green, green forest when he saw the damaged bees’ nest.
Cobbler: It must have been the beer again. It likes honey. Poor bees! They do their best to repair the nest. I will help them! I will take the wax and honeycombs into the hole again.
Narrator: Then the Queen Bee appeared and was very grateful to him.
Queen Bee: Thank you, kind man! If you need our help, please. Let us know and we will fly to help you.
Cobbler: You’re so small. How can you help me?
Narrator: Dratewka smiled again, bowed and went further. A few days later he was going on a wide dyke between the ponds. There were wild ducks swimming in the ponds. When they saw Dratewka , they cried loudly and hid in the reeds, because they were afraid of hunters.
Cobbler: Don’t be afraid of me. I’m not going to shoot you but I want to admire your beauty, I’m not going to kill you but I want to feed you with some bread.
Narrator: So Dratewka threw the bread into the water. The ducks have never eaten so tasty food before. The oldest duck appeared and was very grateful:
Oldest Duck: Thank you, good man! We’re very happy because you came not to kill us but to feed us. If you need our help, please, let us know and we come to help you.
