He had ended his long enlistment as soldier
As a reward he took with him an old drum
And he went, with no goal set out into the world

What are you crying about, little one?
I am scared. I was left an orphan by a disaster.
And now the king's soldiers took our cow away and our goat too.
Oh, what evil individuals! To wrong an orphan! Go to sleep, my daughter!
Are you warm enough? - I'm warm, mister.
Where are you going, Granny? - None of your business. None of your business.
In I will come! It's my girl! Give her back to me!
No way!
Ay, look, soldier! Oh, my hip!
I took her in when her parents, mother and father, got the plague!
I - ugh, to become a witch I teach her​​!
witchcraft she becomes to know So she'll be a real witch like me!
Look, that's something, huh? Not a plain horse, and magic too
You take the horse, eh? You take her? Huh? Then give the girl here, in here!
In there, I put what belongs there!
Well soldier, you will regret this, uh!
Never mind the grief. The night is still young, and there is much to do.
Chill out, granny!
And you get some rest, dear!
Although you're magic, you walked far, so you must rest.
I bring word and a matter to the czar!
Your Majesty! Beware!
The little orphans in your kingdom are being bullied!
Your servants have taken away a cow and a goat was taken too.
Witches are left unharmed. Evil is active!
Out of your mind, huh?
Well now, if I had to consider all that are wronged, I would ...worry too much ... Hehe ...
A king should not be like that!
Throw him out!
Oh, my faithful friend, old comrade! we could not finish our good work!
When we fail the little orphan is left to despair!
Never mind the grief, we'll have to fight a little and get it all cheerful again.
What is this?
What? Where? Who? Who?
Majesty, all the drums beat! As if they ,...confirm the soldier's truth!
Your Majesty, the Queen-mother requires earplugs.
Your daughter is hysteric, your sons all ask for pots!
Give orders, Your Majesty! - Shoot the drums!
on the drums ... ready?!...
Wait, guys! Wait, I say! Isn't it suspicious that
when the stealing was performed, he did not interfere?!
on the drums ...
So give him back the goat, it will defend us against that!
I am here, Your Majesty, I'm here!
There was also a speckled hen ...
Little-chick-chick-chick-chick-chick-a!
That's the way, czar! That's the way!
Well you, time to go!
We have helped the orphan - we were glad to! Go!
Listen to me, dear soldier! I will tell you a secret!
I will tell you something ... good for your heart!
The father and mother of the girl are alive! The evil witch cast a spell on them!
Shut up! Hilarious! I just threw them in a well!
Are you sure about what you said? But even then, it's terrible I suppose!
I'll show you the abandoned well!
Dissolve forever!
And you, soldier!
Oh, you're boring, granny!
Yet I will get you!
And how would you do that, huh!?
Like this!
Oh, I almost got scared!
Well, thank you, horse! I hope you did not regret it!
Like this! And like this!
This piece of the land lies stable on the branch! Now this too!
Mama!
Thank you, soldier!
And the soldier went further on his way.
