Move it.

Ivan, get in!

Thursday

Dad, what is this place?

Where are we?

- Is there anyone here?

- No. Just us.

- What are we doing here?

- Nothing.

- We're going to an island.

- An island?

Which one? That one?

No, another one.

Get out.

Wind it up tight,

so it won't rock.

Found it? Good, put it on the fire.

- Dad, what's next?

- We'll tar boat and set sail.

- Will it take a long time?

- Yes.

Andrei, spread it better

so there are no gaps.

That seam there.

Let the boat down to the water.

Put the things in.

Start rowing!

What are you staring at? Row!

- Where to?

- Straight ahead.

Ivan, keep the bow towards the wave,

blockhead!

I can't!

Row on my command!

Oars up!

I said oars up!

Row!

Heave! Heave!

That's it, Andrei!

Heave, heave!

- I can't go on!

- Yes, you can!

You row, you're stronger!

Heave, heave!

We're here.

- Did you hang your wet clothes up?

- Of course, Dad.

Hold your breath and drink.

- Drink!

- I don't want to.

Drink!

Wash it down.

What, Dad?

Go to sleep.

How are you, Shorty?

If he touches me again, I'll kill him.

Damn, it's soaking wet!

- Are you serious?

- What?

- About killing him?

- If he touches me, I will.

I see.

Friday

- Where did you get that?

- From the tent.

- Is he sleeping?

- He's not there.

Where is he?

- Did you steal that?

- Yes.

- Put it back now!

- No, I want it with me.

Why?

- What if he notices his knife's gone?

- I don't care.

I didn't do it, he lost it.

- You won't tell him, will you?

- Of course not.

Then what's the problem?

I saw a fish jumping by the shore.

It was this big!

We need worms though.

That one won't go for bread.

Don't bring the knife.

Not now, later.

No, I want to have it with me.

Let's go, sleepy-heads!

I'll show you the island.

- What about breakfast?

- You can have it later. Let's go!

- lvan, what's wrong?

- My leg hurts.

Your leg?

It probably fell asleep, let's go.

My leg hurts!

If it doesn't go away you can come back.

Follow me, kids!

Now you'll see.

- Well, are you coming up?

- Go on, go on...

Are you scared?

My leg hurts.

- Give me your hand. Where's lvan?

- He didn't come.

He's scared of heights, Dad.

Cool!

Come here!

Look over there!

Wow!

Andrei, get down, quickly!

Do you know this joke?

A guy rings:

"Hello, is that the missile base?"

"You got the wrong number."

"No, you're the one

who got the wrong number, dear!"

Another one. A guy is riding a camel...

Okay, that's enough.

Thanks for the company.

Andrei and I will get some wood,

you wash dishes, lvan.

- Why do I have to wash up?

- Last one cleans up.

Not bad, for the first time.

You know...

your bowl sank.

Sank?

A wave carried it away.
