The enchanting story began with the Scientist Cat narrating a captivating tale to the children, accompanied by magical music. The kind Storyteller then invited the children into the fairy tale of Kindness. However, the mischievous Baba Yaga tried to prevent them from entering the fairy tale. She lured them to her travel agency, Magical Bliss, promising to use her magic to transport them into the world of Kindness.

Each time Baba Yaga attempted her magic, the children found themselves in different fairy tales from various nations. First, they were sent to a Latvian fairy tale, where they were warmly welcomed by the kind Pocky. Pocky invited the children to play an entertaining Latvian game called “Who Can Carry the Water Faster?” With cheerful music, Pocky organized a friendly competition between two teams, and the children had a great time participating. Pocky became a wonderful friend to them.

Despite Baba Yaga’s devious plan, the children then found themselves in Tatar and German fairy tales. In these tales, they met the heroes Shurale and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. These new friends were kind-hearted and delighted to meet the children. Shurale taught them how to play the Tatar musical game called “Skullcap,” while the gnome Umnik taught them the German game “Three, Thirteen, Thirty-Three.” All the fairy tale characters became friends with the children and the Storyteller, foiling Baba Yaga’s cunning intentions.

Towards the end of the journey, the children were reunited with the Scientist Cat, who was pleased to see them. Surprisingly, the children didn’t complain about the harmful Baba Yaga. Instead, the Storyteller praised her for helping them learn about fairy tales from different cultures, introducing them to new characters, and acquainting them with national games. Even the Scientist Cat became emotional and awarded Baba Yaga the medal “The Kindest Baba Yaga!”

The trip concluded with a joyful photo session featuring the vibrant fairy-tale characters. Both children and adults left with a lot of positive memories from this magical experience.
