Dance sketch on Kutkynniaku

Children’s ensemble Il’kiv. Ossora.

Once upon a time there was Mity and Kutkynniaku. One day Mity says to Kutkynniaku, “Why do you sit around all the time, you should go hunting.” – “All right, I'll go hunting.” He left the yurt and went to the tundra. He's walking, he's humming songs. “Hey-ya Hey-ya Hey- ya Hey-ya-ha! My Mity, Ei-ya-ha-ha! Mity my!”

And suddenly he sees a fox, and she's wearing a beautiful coat. “What a beautiful coat you have, fox! Aren't you hot in it?” - he asked. “Oh, you're right, Kutkynniaku, I am very hot,” replied the fox. “Why don't you take it off and put it on that stump over there,” he suggested. The fox took off his coat and put it on the stump.

Kutkynniaku, smiling slyly, said, “Fox, you have beautiful eyes.”– “Oh, you're right, Kutkynniaku, I do have very pretty eyes,” she replies. – “Take them off and put them on the same stump,” Kutkynniaku u continued. The fox took off her eyes and put them next to her coat. “Oh, Kutkynniaku u, where are you? I can't see anything!” - she was frightened. “Take a cranberry and put it in place of your eyes,” suggested Kutkynniaku. The fox inserted the berry, but everything turned red and she still couldn't see Kutkynniaku. “It got worse, everything turned red! and still can't see you!” - complains the fox. “Take a crowberry and put it in instead of cranberries,” says Kutkynniaku. “It's gotten even worse! Everything is black! Kutkynniaku, where are you?!”

While the fox looked for his eyes, Kutkynniaku took her coat and went home. He returned to Mity and gave her the beautiful coat. Mity was overjoyed and started dancing. Hap!
