Zhenya, the heroine of the animated film “Flower-Sevenflower”, walked around the city with a bunch of sheep. A dog was hiding behind her. Looking at the crow, she did not notice how the dog pulled one lamb off the rope and instantly swallowed it. The others followed. When the little girl managed to see where the last sheep disappeared, she rushed after the dog, but she ran away, driving the girl to an unfamiliar place.
It was a wonderful garden! But Zhenya did not like the flowers – she cried, remembering that on the run she had forgotten the road she was chasing the dog. Walking through the garden, she met an old woman who calmed her down and led her.
A few minutes later, the girl was at home, she again had lambs in her hand. She didn't seem to change at all. But, nevertheless, one change was – in her right hand Zhenya held a magical flower.
Wish fulfillment
The gift of the old sorceress had seven petals of the same colors as the stripes of the rainbow. It was necessary to tear one off, pronounce a spell and call the wish as it was immediately fulfilled. But what can a naive little girl do?
Zhenya spends the magical power of a flower on dangerous and stupid orders six times in a row. Then she finds herself at the North Pole - without warm clothes, in her summer dress, and then with the help of a petal returns home. Then she wants all the toys in the world to belong to her, and then has to stop a million army of dolls and plush toys of all shapes and suits with another petal. Finally, having decided to get a lot of sweets and a few useful things, Zhenya prepares to pick the last petal. And here...
Good cause
Getting carried away, Zhenya spoke out loud, afraid to miss something from the desired - because she had only one chance. And then someone called her, and the chatterer saw the boy Vitya on the bench. Not noticing that there were crutches next to him, Zhenya offered a new friend to play with her in sled. It was not easy for Vita to admit to a pretty girl that he was a cripple for life, but Zhenya was even glad: now she will cure him! Resolutely removing a stalk with a single petal from the pocket, the little sorceress began to pronounce a spell.
