(Bell ringing)

(royal trumpets)

(royal trumpets in the distance)

(calm guitar music)

(harmonic flute music)

My hair shines red like gold.

All my robes are made of gold.

And my crown is heavy with gold and precious stones.

I also wear gold jewelry.

And I play with gold ribbons.

Nevertheless, my life is without joy, poor and empty.

(The women sing in the choir.)

Oh, the gold is so tempting!

How it sparkles and flashes!

That everyone chases after him...

and wishes he had it.

(loud hissing) (fast music)

(Man) save yourself! Running! The devil!

Help! Please help!

(Man) The devil wants to get the princess!

(loud neighing)

(Women shouting) Help!

Defend my poor daughter! Save Princess Gold Hair!

We are too weak! - Where are they?

The guards in front! - Why doesn't anyone help? - Help!

(Man) blast alarm!

(royal trumpets)

My daughter! - (crying) Oh, dad! - Come to me, my poor child.

I was so scared! They left me all alone.

Stay by my side.

(Neigh)

"My recommendation from the beautiful princess:

When the sun went down three times and the clock struck 13 times,

I come to take you with me. "

The brave who saves the princess

and who defeats the devil

I give half my kingdom for that

and the princess gold hair to the woman!

If you dare, get in touch.

Nobody dares to save you?

Golden hair... I myself am too old and far too weak.

Can't find anyone? (They sob.)

I can't protect you, my daughter.

But I can't become the devil's wife!

No, you can't, princess!

Look for someone who will save me! But a prince.

Hear my royal command.

Bring everyone to my yard

who has the courage to compete with the devil.

Make it known across the kingdom. Hurry up!

(Man) Get on your way! - (woman) Quick!

Now hurry up! If you search, you will also find it!

(Man 1) who is that? - (Ms.) Someone from the castle!

(Man 2) That's why he's so beautiful! - (Man 3) Be calm! Listen!

An order to all men from our revered king.

The person should report

who dares to fight the devil.

That would be a nice fool! - For what wages?

I'll help you! - (Herald) Half the kingdom.

What? I would dare for that. What else does he get?

And the hand of the princess. - I'm already provided with one!

(Everyone's laughing.)

Then have you well! Hue!

(crooked trumpet sounds)

An order from His Majesty to all faithful and honest... subjects.

Who are you? How do you get to our area?

Who I am? The third herald of His Majesty the King!

(He clears his throat.) And who are you?

I? I'm the thumbling! Have you never heard of me?

Not in my life yet.

But all children even know who I am!

You must have read the fairy tale about the thumbling.

No, I don't read fairy tales. And anyway...

Don't get angry right away!

I just wanted to ask why you, the king's herald...

The third herald. - The third one, too.

Why you lie here and sleep.

Why, why... Because I'm tired of searching!

The king needs someone to fight the devil. - Aha.

Do you want strawberries Here, hold out your hand.

Wonderful.

By my honor, very excellent!

They don't even exist in the royal greenhouse.

I would fight the devil

but my stepmother won't let me out.

(laughs) What do you want? So wait until you grow up!

Where do you want to go Aren't you offended?

No. (Bell ringing) Ah, now I have to hurry.

Throw them in, you can keep them all.

It's time for me too.

Well then, farewell, Thumbling!

March away here!

What are you standing there holding moles?

Better help me!

Did you finish the spoons? - No not yet.

Then hurry up. The wedding is on Sunday.

Then I need it. I have promised it.

You give me a sack of flour for it.

Carve a dozen spoons? How am I supposed to do it by Sunday?

Hold on, or you'll see!

There is spanking when you can't finish.

And nothing to eat! Then you will be sorry.

Do not reveal anything!

Come on in, here we can play!

(The kids shout.)

Let's play hide and seek or blind man!

(They shout in confusion.) Don't argue!

Only the girls! Let the boys go too!

(everyone) turn around three times, stupid cow is stupid!

Catch me, catch me!

(Boy) Here I am!

Däumling, do you want to play? - No. - Come on, join in.

I can't, I have to carve spoons.

See what I have! - Give it to me! Give it back!

At least let me work in peace!

(Everyone shouts.)

(all) conceited! Conceited! Conceited! Conceited!

Go hold him. - Come on.

Come all here! Do you want to join?

The thumbling plays the witch and has to catch us. - (all) Yes.

Let go! Let go!

Put the blanket back on the bed. The stepmother gets angry.

(The kids shout.)

What is going on here? What are you doing here?

I will teach you! And also the ceiling!

You take my good blanket Who allowed you to do that? Get out!

Get out! Away with you, but quickly!

Don't show up here anymore!

Ah, I knew that. I sensed that.

You instigated her to do this!

And now you're crawling away! Just wait, you don't get away from me.

Damn uselessness!

That was a new blanket! Now it's full of holes!

Should I help? Get down, you lazy angel!

You have nothing but trouble with you. Destroys my beautiful blanket...

Why only me? And your children?

I didn't play with it!

You accuse my children My children should it be?

You are good and my children are bad? It is the other way round!

Come on.

I'll show you, you no good, you miserable rascal!

You loafers! - A piglet runs into the field!

Oh god, what a nuisance!

What the hell did I do to fuck myself up?

(Door creaks and clicks.)

You know how it is. Why didn't you run away?

Let's see.

It is all red. It sure hurts a lot.

(Squeak)

Who was that? - (children) We don't! - Who let the piglet out?

Stop it! When she sees you, she gets angrier.

I don't carve spoons anymore.

Thank God, there you are.

Today she throws around like an evil dragon.

Don't get in her way anymore.

I'm leaving, grandmother. I don't want to stay here.

Knock it out of your head. Where do you wanna go

Anywhere, far from here... where nobody can find me.

Nobody wants me here and everyone is bad. - What!

Am I angry too? - No not You. You're sweet.

You are the best grandmother in the whole world.

What would you do, all alone in a foreign country, huh?

Who would give you food and drink if not me?

I've always taken care of you

because you were an orphan and you had no mother,

just an evil stepmother.

He only says that he wants to leave.

I do it too.

And where do you want to go? - Behind the forest where the cows graze.

A huge treasure is buried in the meadow there.

Silly fairy tales, nothing more!

Right, grandmother? There is a treasure there.

Apparently something was found there.

Where's father's big shovel?

I know, but don't say it!

Don't you need, I know it too.

He really goes!

You stupid boy.

In God's Father's Name, stay here!

I'll be back.

Do you want to go to the forest alone?

There are wispy lights and you will definitely get lost!

You won't come out alive! - I'm going. - No!

You won't find him after all! - Do you think!

If I find him

I come home, buy a palace

and I won't let you in - Then just go!

Don't let him go! - If he really wants to!

And I won't take you to the woman either!

Then marry a princess! - Yes! - grandmother!

(Grandmother) Call him back! - Thumble! - He doesn't hear you.

(lively music)

Here it sparkles and flashes of gold!

Wherever you look!

So much that I don't know how to carry it away.

Wait!

I'll have you soon!

Now!

(dreamy music)

Hey where are you

(He groans)

Help!

Help!

Help! Help me!

Help!

So help me!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Greetings, thumbling.

I saved you even though you don't deserve it.

Do you know who I am?

No. Are you maybe the mother of the winds?

Mhm.

Thank you very much, mother of the winds!

You were almost lost in the bog.

This has happened to many who chased my wispy lights.

Why did they all suddenly disappear?

Where should I find the treasure now?

You won't find it if you are afraid of work.

I am not afraid of work!

Well, then you should work for me.

Are you brave and don't run away?

I don't run away. - You should go to my sons,

the four winds, watch out and protect them,

so that they can spare the world at night and people can sleep.

Well, I'm taking care of them.

(magical jingling)

What is? Why do you stop

I forgot Father's shovel in the bog.

I know he left it to you.

I'll help you get it back.

But you have to earn it through hard work and perseverance.

So go and get to work!

(loud thunder)

Rise, west wind, wake up and fly!

Ah!

Rise, south wind, wake up and fly!

No! Stay here, don't fly away!

Mother of the wind where are you Help me!

The storm wind's dark wall rises.

These are my sons, roaring across the country.

You don't know what that means for you!

Defend yourself, defend yourself, defend yourself!

Face the treacherous tide

guard and protect your belongings

defy the storm and break its power!

Don't let him laugh at people!

Mother of the wind where are you Help me!

Don't see your enemy in nature

then human nature is also friend.

The storm wind's dark wall rises.

These are my sons, roaring across the country.

I am too weak for your sons and I cannot protect them!

Then why are you taking it over?

Don't you have to think beforehand if you can do something?

You haven't done your job

and don't deserve your wages.

But I will reward you for your trouble.

I give you a flute.

As long as the flute is playing, everyone has to dance around.

And now, Däumling, go out into the world

and learn persistence!

As long as the flute is playing ... everyone has to dance around.

Thank you, mother of the winds! Thanks for that!

A nest?

How does this get here?

Who threw it down?

(He whistles.)

(evil laughter in the distance)

(laughing louder)

(The children scream.)

(all mixed up) Help! Help!

(Man) You won't escape me!

(Children) help! - I'm eating you up!

(Children) help! - Yes, I'll eat you soon! Ah!

(He growls.) (The children scream and whimper.)

(He groans)

(laughs) Well, this will be a delicious treat!

A rare delicacy! - Hey, you fat wolverine!

Leave them alone! Better eat me!

Ah! I will eat you too.

I eat you all! (mean laugh)

I play before and you dance.

(laughs) Just play, just play.

Afterwards you will dance, but in my stomach!

(Dance tune)

(Dance tune is getting faster.)

What shoud that?

Stop you Let it be!

Stop, enough!

(Groan)

I can not anymore!

I can not anymore! Stop it!

Let the kids go or I'll keep playing.

All right, all right.

Let them go as you please.

But don't start again! I can't survive that.

(The giant groans.)

Come all out, run home. Fast!

(Girl) Quick! Before he changes his mind.

(Giant) My lovely meal!

Don't touch them, or I'll play again!

(He growls.)

Come on! - But... - And stop hunting rabbits and deer!

And don't throw the birds down their nests! - No no...

Do you promise? - Yes / Yes.

(Sigh)

You saved my animals' lives.

Thank you for that.

Look, I'm giving you this stick.

It is a magic stick.

Whoever wants you evil and touches him will never let go.

Only when you have said: "Stick, let go!"

It has the power of the belladonna and juniper,

of the wild river that plunges into the valley.

The power of the unbreakable roots of ancient trees.

The force that doesn't give in to a storm.

I thank you for your gift!

Whoever touches the stick... will never let go.

Now I have a flute and a stick.

I am a rich man.

The power of the falcon and the lark that keeps them in the air.

The power of cranberry and fern.

The power of the great forests, the power of nature

I give your magic stick.

(There's thunder.)

(To cough)

In there, go!

Give me what are you doing? That's how to do it!

(He's coughing.)

Forward, read everything that's left. - Yes / Yes.

And throw it in.

And hurry up!

Gold ducats, silver coins... I like them!

Anyone who saves has no worries. That's why we save!

(both) You shouldn't despise the penny, the penny!

Who has that in their blood

from morning to night will only try to save something.

Yes, I have to praise you. You are smart and wise!

I know I'm wise.

(both) You shouldn't despise the penny, the penny!

Who has that in their blood

he will soon see the world as a rich man.

See who's knocking.

Wait. But don't open up! Go

(Someone's Knocking.)

(He groans)

Not yet!

(He is startled.)

Please forgive me. - What do you want?

Can i stay here - No overnight stays here!

We are not a hostel and do not give anything for free!

Why is it free? I can work for it.

Ah, you want to work!

Did you say work Okay.

Sit down and watch the door. Here. - Good.

Don't open up if someone wants to come in. - Mhm.

People are bad and bad.

You could steal from me! So watch out and don't sleep.

(Woman) Let's leave the lantern here. - Do you want to make me a beggar?

The fire is bright enough! Why does he still need the lantern?

But... How am I supposed to keep watch when I can't see anything?

Open up!

No! - Come on, let's dry it.

Give it to me.

They don't.

My stomach growls terribly. - There's nothing to eat here.

Don't you even have a piece of bread?

(She grumbles.) I have an idea.

If you're so hungry, I'll share my soup with you.

It is enough for both of us.

Add some water...

So...

(Slurping)

Pooh! That's horrible. Tastes like old washing-up water.

Pooh! - Are you missing the fat in it? - (laughs) Butter and bacon?

Don't you have a blanket or a bunch of straw to lay on?

Huh? - All my bones hurt, I'm so tired.

Do you want a covenant for yourself?

What do you think?

Who has a whole covenant here?

We only have ten stalks ourselves.

Seven for the gentleman and three for me.

(Someone's Knocking.)

(Man) do you still have a place under your roof? - Oh dear.

I dont know if that Works. - At least at the door!

May God reward you for that. - What are you rewarding for, grandfather?

You're welcome.

(Steps)

Who did you talk to? Who was here - Nobody.

Better tell him the truth.

Another insolent beggar? Get away!

Get out!

Immediately, otherwise I'll take the stick!

Get out of here! - It is not right.

You can't chase grandfather out.

Where should he go in this weather? - So you still defend him?

(sneaky laugh)

Come to me. Come here.

Come over here.

Come on, come here.

If you have courage and pass three samples,

then he can stay here. - What samples?

Are you ready to pass it - I better go.

No wait. I pass the tests.

Then come here, come here.

Give me your hand.

So, and keep still. Hmm, watch out now.

Don't drop until I command it.

Blow easy, I don't notice. - Black earth, open up.

The devil take you to hell! - Help me, mother of the winds.

Let me pass the test.

(He is startled.)

(Blow)

But you won't pass the next test!

Answer me, but tell the truth.

How much did you eat from my porridge?

From the broth there? - Yes. - Just a spoonful.

Haha, you'll pay me the spoon...

with a spoonful of your blood.

Do you want to kill me - Shake your hand.

Not, he's chasing me away anyway.

Give it to me. (laughs) You are young.

And your blood is red.

I'll pike you a little.

Does it hurt? Tell me! Right, it hurts?

You dare to interfere? Get away, you vagrant!

Woe, you hurt him! Leave grandfather alone,

you old monster! - Get away, you! Just wait!

Come here, come! Come here you

Go hide yourself - What are you standing around for? Help me!

Wait... So, come here now!

(Strum) Huh?

(Amazement and groan)

Hey you! Come here! - But how?

Tear me off! - I can not! I...

Let me go, let me go - Release them.

I beg you! - Stick, let go.

(Clink)

(He laughs.) Now no one is chasing you away.

Come on, let's sit down. - Are not you tired? - No.

Where are you going?

I'm looking for the buried treasure.

So you haven't found him yet?

And you don't even think about grandmother and Lienita anymore?

How do you know them?

(laughs) And if I know her. I also know your stepmother.

I don't want to hear anything about that. It is always bad.

You're all the better for that, my boy.

Your heart is as loud and pure as a gem.

Without the slightest mistake. - But what are you saying?

All people have mistakes!

The stone still needs to be cut,

until it shimmers and shines like a goblet of gold.

Then you put what you like most into it.

I'll say goodbye to you... this ring.

If you are sad and want to go home,

you have to turn this ring, but with the stone up,

and say, "Dear swan, dear swan,

give me wings, carry me over river and hill,

to where I was happy. "

(Strum)

A wonderful ring.

Thank you, grandfather. Thank you

Where are you grandfather Where are you?

Why did he suddenly disappear?

(playful music)

(Applause)

(royal trumpets)

(royal trumpets)

Brave and strong men! (all) Brave and strong men!

Report to the king's castle! (Repeat all.)

The devil wants our princess to be a woman! (Repeat all.)

Therefore the king announces to you to know: (Repeat all.)

Whoever defeats the devil and saves the princess from him,

gets half the kingdom and the hand of Princess Goldhaar.

Forward, heroes, get in touch! (Repeat all.)

So, what's on? - What? - Nobody has the courage?

Come on, men! Who has courage - You are the third herald of the king.

And you the thumb. - Yes!

Nice to see you again. - Me too.

Why doesn't anyone come forward to save the princess?

Everyone is afraid. Nobody wants to take on the devil.

Then I save the princess. - you? - Yes!

(Everyone's laughing.)

I'm supposed to bring everyone with me, but you're too small.

I defeat the devil, my word of honor!

Take it already! - At least one!

Well, since we don't have a better one, come on!

Seat on. Let's ride to the king! Oops!

(royal trumpets)

Forward!

(fast music)

(Babble of voices) (man) you come! There they are!

Are they all?

Let's go.

Your Majesty, the heroes are there. - Call them in, quickly.

(Man) You should come in!

I think you bring the heroes? - Nobody answered.

There is none left. Only this boy agrees.

He wants to dare.

This dwarf?

I am not afraid of the devil.

You wanna fight with the devil

He would tap him away like a fly. - Aha.

Your Majesty, let him dare.

If he volunteers... - You're right.

What else do we have left?

You are princess gold hair? - Naturally.

You are not very friendly.

(Nurse) Outrageous! - (disparaging sound)

(Sigh) (bell ringing)

(fast music) (man) The devil, save yourselves!

(Babble of voices) (man) Save yourself!

(Neighing) - There he is! Quick, run away!

Run away, run away! Hide!

(Neigh)

Go leave me alone with him!

(loud hissing)

Where is my bride I want to pick them up!

Where are you all?

The princess sends me to greet you.

(nasty laugh) you?

Answer! What do you want here? - I already said that!

(He growls.)

Aren't you lying to me? - How could I lie to you?

I would like to play a dance to greet you. (He laughs.)

Then play, go ahead! I like to dance. (shrill laughter)

(Dance tune) (The devil laughs.)

I am so beautiful and strong...

and have a thick coat.

And nobody is so powerful...

like me in this world.

You can see in any case

how beautiful I am ... beautiful I am!

And you all know how bad I am...

how angry i am!

I come from hell...

from smoke and soot.

I'm a real devil...

from head to toe!

(fast dance melody)

(He groans) Nanu!

I do not want to any more! I've danced enough!

Stop! Stop it!

I have enough! Give it a rest! I have enough!

Let me! Let me down! Go to hell!

(Scream)

(He groans.)

What is? Can't you get up?

Here, hold on. I'm pulling you up

(Strum)

Release me!

Then you have to give me your cock! - No!

I won't give it to you! - And why not?

It is a sign of my dignity.

If I lose him, I'll be dishonored forever.

Well, I'll take one of your horns. - No!

Are you also dishonored? - Then I have to go to hell

and cannot go back to earth for a thousand years.

All the better! Then go to hell! - Ah!

(fast music) (He groans.)

(Hiss)

The devil is defeated!

Where are you, Mr. King?

Where are you, Mr. King?

The devil is defeated!

You are still alive? - Here he is defeated! I broke his horn.

All right, my boy. Very well.

Bring the pillow here! Put it on, but carefully.

He beat him. - A devil's horn!

(Dread Lute) Princess!

It seems to be real. - Take it to the treasury.

Good, Your Majesty.

Now to us, my brave boy.

You have fulfilled your promise and I am now fulfilling mine.

Come here, my child.

So be happy! (laugh)

What? Should I marry this boy? No way!

I do not do that! What would my friends say?

I'd rather be the devil's wife!

But you are conceited.

The boy has my word and I keep it.

But I refuse!

The princess is right. - He is too young for her.

So are the princesses?

I am the king. You will do what I tell you.

I don't want to hear anything anymore.

There's only one way out, princess.

Get out of here!

Say you agree on one condition:

He is not allowed to spend the night in the castle.

You should set up your bed on the terrace for him.

I already know what we're doing.

He won't survive the night.

Come back here.

Because of me, I agree.

But he shouldn't sleep in the castle before the wedding.

Fine, my daughter. It should be how you want it.

Now be happy and exuberant and celebrate the engagement!

(royal trumpets)

(all) princess!

Tell me the truth, my dear.

How could you defeat the devil even though you have no weapons?

You can't hide anything from your bride.

Yes, I have a gun. - Then show me.

Do you want to mock me, you naughty boy?

It is not an ordinary weapon.

You can enchant people with it. - Ah!

Here.

Then I wish you a good night's sleep, brave prince.

May i ask? Now go!

What are you looking at me Come along!

There is your bed, my boy.

It was made especially for you.

Let's see if it's soft enough.

Yes, just right for a prince.

(Man) Wonderful, Your Majesty!

We have to be careful so that nobody surprises us.

Come here!

So...

So...

And so.

(soft music)

They are all beautiful in the warm.

When nobody wanted to fight the devil, I was good enough for them.

They sing easily: "Sleep, Prince, sleep".

In this wind... brr!

Go ahead.

There she is!

Ah! (mean laugh)

Beautiful princess ... Welcome, princess!

What leads you to me?

I heard you master many magic pieces.

So did you hear that? - Believe me, you can rely on them!

She knows how to get rid of the boy. - Aha!

(laughs) Nothing better than that!

Yes!

(She growls wildly.)

(Drum music)

(She moans and wails.)

He is not there! - Not there?

No!

But where is he? We have to... look for him.

Ah!

I'll blow my breath in his face so long

until he stops moving (mean laugh)

Do you want to dance a bit I have a flute! - No!

What's wrong with you? - I am powerless. - Impotent?

I am powerless. - Why? - He has a magic flute! - What?

Are you afraid of that? - You lied to me!

You can't do magic at all! Get away!

What did you promise me Now I have to marry him!

He lives on and it's your fault!

You are to blame! - I didn't know she was a scam!

I chase you out of the castle and don't want to see you anymore!

Please forgive me!

You ordered her to kill me? - So what?

I should have known how you are.

Now I don't want you anymore. And if you were made of gold!

What? How? What do you allow yourself

How dare you talk to a princess like that?

(Pling) - Show me!

Do you give me that - I'm giving you a riddle.

If you guess it, it's yours.

Now tell me!

It is talkative like a magpie and false like a snake.

What's this?

Come on! Think about it!

Wait, I have to think.

Can't you figure it out? - Oh, it's pretty difficult.

(She sighs)

A stupid puzzle! - It's easy, Princess Gold Hair.

It is your tongue: talkative like a magpie

and wrong like a snake.

You don't get the ring!

Give it to me! Come on, you misguided boy!

I command you! Otherwise I'll have you beaten up!

I will lock you up! Stop, I tell you!

Will you obey Get here immediately!

I waive you, princess.

Become the devil's wife and go to hell with him!

What does that mean?

Where do you want to go? Stay here!

Quick hold him! He runs away! - Calm down.

Get him back! - (wet nurse) He won't get far.

Dear swan, dear swan, give me your wings,

carry me over river and hill to where i was happy.

He wants to get away from us with his magic weapons!

Catch him! Follow him! After him!

(hopeful music)

(royal trumpets)

I'm home again.

It's true! I'm home again.

And there is father's shovel too!

Thank you, mother of the winds! Thanks for that!

(Strum)

Thank you, mother of the forest! Thank you for everything!

(Strum)

Thumbling! - grandmother! - Sweet Child O Mine.

My good boy.

Thumbling! Our thumb is back.

We have spoken of you so often! - You can hear it there!

Really? - Really.

Well, the thumbling. - Good day.

Did you come back from your big treasure hunt, huh?

Yes, but I didn't find the treasure.

My pockets are empty. - Don't worry, we live that way too.

The important thing is you are here.

(royal trumpets)

They don't hurt you!

Stay here!

Come back! Do not run away!

These are not soldiers! That is the king!

I recognize it from the carriage!

Long live our king!

(all) Viva, viva, live up! - Quiet!

Be quiet! - Enough, enough.

What is the noise? I said calm!

(loud, happy singing)

Well... I don't see him!

I don't know... - There, Your Majesty!

If you are here to take me with you:

I am not coming!

I don't want half of your kingdom

still become princess gold hair or prince!

Well, if you don't want to... please!

That fool!

Do not worry about it! I do not need that.

Stand up!

(groans) So what! Wait...

Are you feeling better? - Ah!

What are you standing there and gaping?

Help her!

Do I have to do everything myself?

Your Majesty, you wanted to ask him something.

Correct! I almost forgot.

My boy, come over here.

Let go, for thunder weather!

Tell me, dear, where do you have your magic weapons?

I want to pay your answer well.

Hm... how much are you giving me?

Well... as much as you want.

Is that true? - Yes. - Then three buckets of ducats. - Three?

Three buckets? - insolence! - This is too much!

I don't have that much myself, boy.

Make it a little cheaper.

All right, then a bucket. - A bucket? - Yes.

A bucket? - You should be ashamed of yourself!

What do you want with so much money? - I say no. - No.

Who of you has a bag? Nobody? - (man) You have one!

Here. - Come on, throw them in. Come on!

Now you.

And you. Stop, that's enough.

What? The floor is hardly covered!

We gave you money. Give us the weapons. - Where are they?

I no longer have them, they have disappeared.

And are you only saying that now?

I should just say where the weapons are.

So where are you?

The pipe has the mother of the winds again

and the wand the mother of the forest.

They gave it to me.

Good advice is valuable now. What do we do?

Best we go back. - We have to settle with this.

You cheated us nicely! But what you have, you have.

And you honestly deserve it.

Strike, we part in peace.

Okay. If you need a hero again, come to us.

(laugh)

Shame on you to steal from him!

Check it out! Is it maybe a king?

He is a cheater! - So... what does she say?

What allow... - Give up your weapons!

Yes, a cheater! - Put them in chains!

I am his mother.

If he served well, you have to pay him well too!

Three buckets of ducats and not a dime less!

Lead away! - You insulted the king!

Don't touch me! Don't touch me!

What are you doing? How do you treat a lady?

Enough! Stop it immediately!

Release them!

With immediate effect, I appoint this woman as my first lady-in-waiting.

Such an energetic person is very convenient for me.

It will create order in the castle.

My dearest, may I ask for your hand?

And now, Madame... try your hand in my carriage.

Are you serious, Mr. King?

Or do you mock me? - On the contrary. - The peasant woman?

If so, I am happy to accept.

(Grandmother) And who takes care of the children?

(Stepmother) You of course! I have a job now.

Bravo, my dearest. - Bravo, bravo.

(Kids) mom! - (Grandmother) Don't cry, dear ones.

Forward to the castle!

She really goes with you.

(Kids) mom! Mummy! Mummy!

She'll be back! The princess will pay her back.

Your mother is powerless against them.

Then it wasn't nice where you were?

Didn't you like it? - Of course!

But I like it much better here.

What have you experienced in the wide world? Tell me!

(Man) Yes! - I don't know what should I tell you?

(Man) how do people live?

Everything looks beautiful from a distance.

But when you're there, you want to go home.

(Man) Why go home? (Everyone is amazed.)

Just like in the fairy tale about poor Däumling.

From me! - (Everyone's laughing.)

Wait!

To you. - Thanks a lot.

N / A? - Are you coming with me?

(harmonic music)

Are we going there too? - All right.

(harmonic vocals)

(calm guitar music)
