Plot synopsis
Three stories about three different populations of Russia. The first one tells why hares have two protruding teeth, the second one explains why they have such short tails and the last one will reveal why they have long ears.
The three hunters, caught by the forest giant, must each take turns telling him a story about an animal, without ever saying its name. If the giant does not guess what animal it is, they will be spared, otherwise he will make them his lunch…
