Влада: Once upon a time, a donkey lived on a farm. The donkey worked hard for the farmer. After many years, the donkey became old and tired. Макс: ‘Oh, this sack is so heavy! I wish I could rest.’ Артем: ‘Hmmm, this donkey is getting too old to work for me any longer. I should sell him to the butcher.' Максим: ‘Oh, no! The butcher will kill me. I must escape. Hmmm, but what will I do for a living, then? Aha! I will go to Bremen and become a musician.’ Андрей: The farmer and the donkey returned to the farm. The farmer took the donkey's sack and went into the barn. Максим: "Now is my chance!" Гоша: The donkey ran away. Soon, the donkey found the road to Bremen. He met an old dog lying on the road. The dog was out of breath. Максим: "Why are you out of breath, Mr. Dog?" Миша Дж: "Ah! I am old and weak. I cannot hunt anymore. My master thought I was lazy. So, he tried to shoot me. I ran away. But, now I do not have either a home or a job. I will starve." Макс: "I am going to Bremen to become a musician. Let's go together. We can start a musical band. I will play the guitar, and you can beat the drum." Миша Дж: "That's a great idea!" Миша П: The donkey and the dog walked towards Bremen: Before long, they met a cat. She was sitting beside the road. The cat had a sad look. Миша Дж: "Ms. Cat, you look so sad. What's the matter with you?" Саша: "I am sad because I am no longer loved. I am too old to catch mice anymore. And my mistress beat me. So, I ran away. But I don't know where to go." Максим: "Oh, come with us to Bremen. We can start a musical band. I will play the guitar, and Mr. Dog can beat the drum, and you can sing in our band." Саша: "That sounds great!" Влада: So, the cat joined the dog and the donkey on their way to Bremen. Андрей: Soon, the three animals came to a farm, A rooster sat on the fence. He crowed with all his might. "Cock-a-doole-do!" M+Д+М: "You sound scared. What is the matter?" Диана: "I wake up everyone on the farm every morning. But tonight, guests are coming for dinner. The master's wife told the cook to cook me for their soup. So, I am crowing until I die. Cock-a-doodle-do!" Саша: "Mr, Rooster, you must come with us, too. We are going to Bremen. You have a good voice. You can sing in our band." Диана: "Anything is better than death. I will join you right now." Гоша: The rooster jumped down from the fence. Then, all of the animals walked towards Bremen. Влада: That evening, the animals passed through a forest. They decided to spend the night by a big tree. Миша П: The donkey and the dog lay down near the tree. The cat climbed up the tree and curled up on a large branch.
