Prelude
Going to be a storm soon
Come on, old lady, and let's get the show started
Mummy! Mummy! What is that?
Pantomime
Interlude
Look at how big she's grown!
I'm just the same too
Look what we've got down 'ere
Interlude (beginning) (Ou, ou!)
Interlude (conclusion)
You should take a lesson from me!
Sisters! Comrades!
Come on then, don't be frightened
Prelude
Ah! - Who's that out there screaming?
Interlude
In my new parish things have got to be better!
Once long since, long ago
Home now?
Interlude
Something is wrong with my equilibrium
Staccato! Flageoletti!
So remember to be a good man!
Memnestho aner agathos einai
Interlude
O my God! He's so handsome!
One dark night
Fox Goldenstripe
Can it be that I am lovely?
Let me go! I am afraid of you!
If you had only seen what I saw just now
That's how it is!
Prelude
In the month of May
Hey there, Harasta, how's it going?
Little foxes running fast
How many children do we have?
Put it down fast! Harasra, Harasra!
Interlude
Where is old man Pásek?
Well I'm damned!
Interlude
Spring is here at last
When evening arrives, I welcome the rays
Hey! But I can't see the Vixen there!
Tha-that wasn't me
