Bears rode
On the bike.
And then the cat
Backwards.
And after him mosquitoes
On a balloon.
And after them crayfish
On a lame dog.
Wolves on the mare
Lions in the car.
Bunnies in the tram
Toad on a broomstick ...

They go and laugh, when suddenly a terrible giant - the Cockroach crawls out of the gateway. He threatens the animals to eat them. The animals are in a panic - the wolves ate each other, the crocodile swallowed the toad, and the elephant sat on a hedgehog. Only the crayfish are not afraid - although they back away, they fearlessly shout to the mustached monster that they themselves can move their mustache - no worse than a Cockroach. And the Hippo promises to those who are not afraid of the monster and fight with him, to present two frogs and welcome the fir cone. The animals plundered and threw a crowd at the barbel. But, having seen him, the poor people are so scared that they immediately run away. The hippo encourages the animals to go and raise the Cockroach to the horns, but the animals are afraid:

Just hear the teeth chattering
One can only see how the ears tremble.

And then the Cockroach became the lord of the fields and forests, and all the animals obeyed him. He orders the beasts to bring his children for dinner. All animals cry and say goodbye to their children forever, cursing the evil lord. Poor mothers cry the worst: what mother would agree to give her sweet child an insatiable stuffed animal for dinner? But once Kangaroo jumped up. Seeing the barbel, the guest laughs:

Is it a giant? <...>
This is just a cockroach! <...>
Cockroach, cockroach, cockroach.
Liquid-legged goat-bug.

The kangaroo is ashamed of its toothy and fangy acquaintances - they obeyed the booger, the gibberish. Hippos are frightened, shikayu at the Kangaroo, but then Sparrow flies out of nowhere, which swallows the Cockroach. So there is no giant! The entire animal family thanks and praises its deliverer. Everyone is so wildly happy and dancing so famously that the moon, trembling in the sky, falls on an elephant and rolls into a swamp. But the moon was soon erected into place, and peace and joy again returned to the forest inhabitants.
