- This film was comissioned by the USSR State Committee of TV and Radio.
- A production of "Armenfilm" named in tribute to Amo Bekhnazaryan
- If I tell anyone, they won't believe me.
- Once I caught a talking fish
- this...no, this big!
- Atchoo!
- Hear me out, kind man
- Let me go back home to sea.
- Wow, a talking fish!
- inspired by Toomanyan's fairy-tale
- Ha! Our whole family can talk
- My father can talk, my mother can talk
- And my grandpa says:
- "Do a good deed and throw it in the water.
- It won't be found wanting.
- What goes around, comes around."
- So, do a good deed -
- throw me in the water.
- I won't be found wanting
- One day I'll be of use to you.
- Sure you will! How exactly?
- Anyone can talk.
- But if you could, let's say, bark
- I would put you on a chain to guard my house.
- As it is, I can make nothing of you.
- Off you swim!
- And now I have nothing to eat, ek-ho.
- Here I am! Why did you call for me?
- Me?
- You said "Ekh". Ekh is my name
- I'm the great, powerful and kind wizard.
- Ekh! Ek-ho! Ek-ho! ...
- And that was my ek ... echo!
- Now, tell me, what do you wish for?
- I'll do anything, I can do everything!
- What can a poor man wish for?
- Got you!
- You've got nothing to eat, right?
- Here's a magic table for you
- Whenever you're hungry, knock on it three times
- One, two, three.
- You like it?
- When you are done eating and drinking
- Knock three times again. Three, two, one
- Thank you, kind Ekh.
- I'll always remember you
- Sure you will!
- I wouldn't be Ekh if you don't remember
- Wife!
- My darling wife!
- Oo, I forgot to tell you. There's one little condition
- On the stroke of midnight I'll come to visit you
- And will ask you riddles till dawn.
- If you manage to answer them - the table is yours.
- And if you can't, blame only yourselves!
- You'll remember me until your dying day.
- Kind people, let me stay with you tonight.
- Oh, dear son. You'd better look for shelter in a different place.
- At midnight will come a beast.
- He'll destroy us and you
- That's true, my son.
- Well, there's still time before the clock strikes midnight.
- We'll see what happens then.
- Who's there?
- It's me, the kind Ekh.
- I'm here.
- And I'm here too.
- Who are you? Where did you come from?
- From the other side of the sea.
- How did you come here?
- I straddled a lame flea and rode it here.
- The sea is what? A puddle?
- Might be a puddle, but an eagle couldn't fly over it.
- Then it was a baby-eagle.
- Could be, but the shadow of his wings covers a city.
- Night descends on that city.
- Well, the city must be tiny.
- A hare wasn't able to run across that city.
- It turns out it was a wee hare.
- It was an ordinary hare. A coat came from that hare.
- Where did it come from?
- It came from the city, which the hare ran across and the shadow of the eagle fell across
- and followed its nose.
- Whose nose?
- The nose of the coat which came from the hare in the city
- which night descends on when the baby-eagle flies over it
- sitting astride the lame flea.
- What?!
- What, what?
- Astride on the lame flea, from the other side of the sea
- which the hare can't fly over and the eagle can't run across
- maybe not a sea, just a puddle in the middle of the city,
- where the shadow of the flea fell across the hare and killed it.
- The coat came from that hare and followed his nose.
- Then the hare jumped back ...
- Which hare?
- The dead one. It jumped across the sea which you can't fly over or run across,
- which the coat came from, which the shadow of the flea
- fell across and killed the hare.
- Not simply a hare, but an eagle!
- Which hare, which eagle, which flea?!
- Shall I repeat? So the flea from the other side of the puddle ...
- Enough!
- Hey wait! We still have plenty of time before dawn!
- Son, you saved us from death!
- Who are you? At least give us your name
- My grandpa says: "Do a good deed and throw it in the water."
- See, I turned out to be useful to you.
