There was the morning in the forest, which means that it's time to get up, do exercises and wash. The most healthy resident of the forest is a Bear.

Gently creeping up to the tube, he grabs it and runs off into the thicket of the forest. The next day our Bear no longer exercises, he lies under his tree and smokes. So it goes all summer and autumn comes.

Bear suffers from toothache. Other animals give him advice on how to cure a bad tooth, but their advice is ignorant.
