Narrator:
Harmful bacteria live peacefully throughout the world. They are so embedded in dirt that whatever they touch becomes disgustingly black, murky, greasy and filthy. Being dirty is their normal state, in which they are extremely comfortable. Their leader is the chief microbe Blackmuck-Dirtbag.
They obey her and carry out all her orders. She commanded them to settle where people most often forgot to follow hygiene rules – very untidy and slovenly people – on unwashed hands, on teeth that weren't brushed, and on raw food that they ate without washing because they forgot to do so or simply couldn't be bothered.
And all the bacteria were terribly delighted that they had somewhere 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 inside whom they got would immediately hear it.
And that person would feel ill, because their stomach would start hurting badly. And this person would feel that these wretched dirt creatures had really let loose inside them, and they simply couldn't do without a doctor.
And so all the bacteria, led by their commander Blackmuck-Dirtbag, decided to hold a meeting on a rubbish heap to discuss how to proceed and carry out their dirty deeds."
Blackmuck-Dirtbag:
Now then, my subjects, you dirty bacteria, you filthy slugs, have you all gathered at my command?
Yes, yes! We are listening to you.
The loyal soldiers answered in unison.
Blackmuck-Dirtbag:
You disgusting friends of mine, do you know what idea has come to me? How can we please ourselves? All the children in our city must be infected. To do this, we need to smear 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 action?
We agree, we are very pleased, we have only dreamed of this.
All the bacteria and microbes did not hide their joy.
Blackmuck-Dirtbag:
Listen to me carefully. There are many children who don't listen to their parents, grandparents and grandfathers, don't wash their hands and put them dirty in their mouths. Washing and bathing is a terrible punishment for them. We will focus on them. My very 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 that we can introduce infection and thoroughly infect them. Then we'll wait and watch how he gets sick. This will be a real holiday for all of us.
Following him, we will find other children, befriend them and gradually infect them. We will teach them to eat only unwashed fruit and only harmful food. Everyone will fear us, we will be the terror of this city, and in time 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 powder,
Throw the brush in a bag.
And then we will be with you,
We will become your friends,
All microbes, all infections
Will be beside you along with the dirt.
They leave.
Narrator:
In our city there is a very disobedient boy named Vanya. Many boys are slovenly, but he is special. In the yard he always looks for the dirtiest place and gets covered in mud from head to toe, and he hates washing. And when mum asks him to wash his hands before eating, he never does it because he is very scatterbrained and lazy. Well, should children behave like this? No, of course not. Now it's clear why Yucky found Vanya to carry out his cunning 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? Mum complains that I don't wash fruit. Although honestly, I don't like doing it.
Yucky:
Why don't you rub the pear on your trousers? On one side they're not so dirty, so you can clean the pear with them.
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 be clean.
Vanya:
Thank you, I'll do that.
Yucky:
I can also teach you how to trick your mum and not brush your teeth. Wet the brush and put it back. No one will notice anything, the brush will be wet.
Vanya:
Thank you very much, I really like this, I'll do it like this from now on.
Narrator:
Vanya was very pleased to meet Yucky, ate the pear with dirty hands, and in the evening when mum came home, she didn't recognise her son. He was holding his stomach and crying.
Mum:
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 a pear, just rub it on your trousers, and you don't need to wash your hands either.
Mum:
How silly you are, my son. How can you believe him? Yucky is a harmful microbe, he deliberately deceived you because he wanted you to get sick.
Vanya:
What should I do, mum?
Mum:
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 confident
I will save you.
I'm a helpful probiotic,
I will certainly cure you,
We will defeat all microbes,
We will kill all bacteria
And we will destroy 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 an injection.
Vanya drinks and smiles:
Mum, I understand that to be healthy, I must always wash my hands and eat only clean fruit. I will tell my friends about this too.
