Not a cartoon, but a whole philosophical parable! It is a pity that such a cartoon is not deservedly forgotten. In ten minutes, you can say a lot, by the way, that actually succeeded the creators of this animated little masterpiece. Oh, how it came to my heart this cartoon! It contains much more than it may seem at first glance. A kind of existential parable about what a person lives for, what he lives for and how he lives. The cartoon is drawn and not very bright, but the characters, especially the villain Dev, are very colorful.
This story happened, as I see it in the countryside, not to say in the desert, it is quite possible that somewhere in Central Asia, since the names of the heroes do not consonate with Russian names. One good boy, by the will of circumstances, fell into slavery to scrap Deva. No, this Dev is a slave owner. The fact is that when it is very, very hot, then I want to drink terribly, thirst torments everyone. And this Dev, a terrible and ugly comrade, sat on the lid of the well and gave the suffering a drop of water. He was so ugly both in body and soul that his only grin was worth it. So, he sat on the lid with a well, so he gave a drop. Near him was a tree, near which was chained handsome horse Kambar. The boy’s job was to scratch the heels of the evil Deva, because he loved it so much. He even had a special spatula that resembled rakes. And the good boy, in order not to die of thirst, had to accept such humiliation as scratching his heels. It was also his duty to report changes in the weather, to monitor the moon and the sun.
And so, after completing his joyless mission, the boy was rewarded with three drops and, despite the fact that he was very thirsty, he shared the water with a beautiful horse and watered the tree. The Lord saw the goodness of the boy gave him strength for military feat.
An excellent work of art that makes you think, feel and analyze. To project your own life through such parables. And for the younger generation just an invaluable find in terms of the formation and education of the individual.
