Narrator:
Harmful bacteria live peacefully throughout the world. They are so covered in dirt that whatever they touch becomes disgustingly black, murky, greasy, and filthy. Being dirty is their normal state, and they are incredibly comfortable in it. Their leader is the chief microbe Blackmuck-Dirtbag.
They obey her and follow all her orders. She commanded them to settle where people most often forgot to follow hygiene rules—very messy and unkempt people—on unwashed hands, on teeth that weren't brushed, and on raw foods that people ate without washing because they forgot or were simply lazy.
And all the bacteria were terribly happy that they had a place to roam, have fun, and even dance. And they danced with great pleasure, so much so that it was hard for them to stop, and the person they got inside could hear it right away.
And that person would feel sick because their stomach would start hurting badly. And the person would feel that these wretched dirty creatures had really let loose inside them, and they definitely couldn't do without a doctor.
And so all the bacteria, led by their commander Blackmuck-Dirtbag, decided to hold a meeting on a pile of garbage and discuss how to proceed and carry out their dirty deeds."
Blackmuck-Dirtbag:
Now then, my subjects, dirty bacteria, filthy slugs, have you all gathered at my command?
Yes, yes! We're listening to you.
The loyal soldiers answered in unison.
Blackmuck-Dirtbag:
You disgusting friends of mine, do you know what idea just came to me? How can we make ourselves happy? All the children in our city must be infected. To do this, we need to cover them with our dirt. Then they won't be able to escape, they will become one of us, and we will be able to settle inside them. Do you agree to such an action?
We agree, we are very happy, this is all we've been dreaming about.
All the bacteria and microbes didn't hide their joy.
Blackmuck-Dirtbag:
Listen to me carefully. There are many children who don't listen to their parents, grandparents, don't wash their hands, and put dirty hands in their mouths. Washing and cleaning themselves is a terrible punishment for them. We will focus on them. My first assistant, Yucky, are you here and can you hear me?
Yucky:
I'm here and listening carefully to you.
Blackmuck-Dirtbag:
Find the dirtiest boy or girl in the city, befriend them so we can introduce infection and thoroughly infect them. Then we'll wait and watch them get sick. This will be a real holiday for all of us.
After them, we'll find other children, befriend them, and slowly infect them. We'll teach them to eat only unwashed fruit and only harmful foods. Everyone will fear us, we'll be the terror of this city, and eventually the whole world will be under our control. Now, let's remember what we sing when we go to work:
Never wash your hands,
Eat dirty food,
Don't take soap powder,
Throw the toothbrush in a bag.
And then we'll be with you,
We'll become your friends,
All microbes, all infections
Will be right here with the dirt.
They leave.
Narrator:
In our city there is a very disobedient boy named Vanya. Many boys are messy, but he is special. In the yard, he always looks for the dirtiest place and gets covered in dirt from head to toe, and he hates washing. And when his mother asks him to wash his hands before eating, he never does because he's very scatterbrained and lazy. Well, should children behave this way? No, of course not. Now it's clear why Yucky found Vanya to carry out his treacherous plan.
Yucky:
Hello, Vanya. Don't be surprised how I know your name. I just wanted to be friends with you, so I've been watching you for a long time. Would you like me to treat you to a pear? It's very tasty.
Vanya:
I don't know you, how can I take your pear? Besides, did you wash it? Mom gets angry because I don't wash fruit. Although honestly, I don't like doing that.
Yucky:
Why don't you rub the pear on your pants? On one side, they're not so dirty, so you can use them to clean the pear.
Vanya:
That's right, how didn't I think of that myself?
Yucky:
You can also spit on your hands, rub them together, and they'll become clean.
Vanya:
Thank you, I'll do that.
Yucky:
I can also teach you how to trick your mom and not brush your teeth. Wet the brush and put it back. No one will notice anything, the brush is wet after all.
Vanya:
Thank you so much, I really like this, I'll do it this way from now on.
Narrator:
Vanya was very happy to meet Yucky, ate the pear with dirty hands, and in the evening when his mother came home, she didn't recognize her son. He was holding his stomach and crying.
Mother:
Does your stomach hurt? Tell me what you ate today. If I don't find out the reason, I'll have to call the doctor.
Vanya:
I met Yucky and he said that you don't need to wash the pear, just rub it on your pants, and you don't need to wash your hands either.
Mother:
How silly you are, my son. How could you believe him? Yucky is a harmful microbe, he deliberately tricked you because he wanted you to get sick.
Vanya:
What should I do, Mom?
Mother:
Don't worry, our kind Prince Bifidol will save you. But from now on, you must know that cleanliness is the key to your health. You must always wash your hands and all your food. Hey, Bifidol, where are you?
Prince Bifidol enters.
Hello, boy Vanya,
I'm hurrying to you.
Always be sure
I will save you.
I'm a helpful probiotic,
I'll cure you, of course,
We'll defeat all microbes,
We'll destroy all bacteria
And we'll eliminate Blackmuck and Dirtbag.
I will work
Morning, noon, and evening alone
Our Vanya will get better
And we will defeat the illness.
Drink Bifidol quickly
And we won't need a shot.
Vanya drinks and smiles:
Mom, I understand that to be healthy, I must always wash my hands and eat only clean fruit. I'll tell my friends about this too.
