CHATBOT: Where does the Old Year go? Hedgehog decided to especially celebrate New Year's with friends. He chose to go to Rabbit Krosh to meet it "so to speak, together." Well, of course, he was hoping that surely someone would pop in for a visit. Who's there? It's me - Hedgehog. I came to celebrate the new year. Could you wait a bit? I can't open the door right now. Okay. Oh, Hedgehog, what are you doing standing here? Krosh asked me to wait. It seems like he's busy with something very important. Hmm, important you say? It's almost New Year's. Krosh, open up immediately. I can't! If I open the door, the Old Year might leave, and there's still something I need to finish in the Old Year. Well, at least open a little crack. We'll come in and won't let anyone out. Okay, but hurry. See, I told you he'd slip away! Don't worry! We'll catch him! Stop! Stop!!! Just a minute! Grandfather, wait! Hello, children! Hurry up with your work! We've got it under control! Children, quickly get off me! Oh, that's Kar-Karych! False alarm. We thought you were the Old Year. Thank you for not being an old stump. Don't sit in the snow. So you want to hold back the Old Year? Hmm. Who holds back like that?! We'll do it by the book! Nyusha watches the door and windows! Losyash guards the gate. Hedgehog patrols the yard. And I'll do the artistic supervision: let everyone in, let no one out! Twelve months in a row have passed around the bend. And following in their footsteps, the Old Year departs. Don't sleep on the job, friend, don't stand gaping. Look, on the snow-covered sheet, the Old Year is already leaving. Where does the Old Year go? Ah, such fine fellows, singing songs in the fresh air. Oh, such a Christmas tree! He-he! Now we'll decorate it. Now we can celebrate the New Year. We can't celebrate the New Year. We must watch the Old. Let someone else watch it while we celebrate the New Year. And where do we find such a simpleton? He-he, we'll make one out of snow. Phenomenal! A mountain of unfinished business and three bags of worries. But still, from morning on, the Old Year leaves. What if we've inadvertently offended it, and now, Forgetting to say goodbye to us, the Old Year leaves. Old Year. Where does the Old Year go? Where does the Old Year go? Old Year. Yes... Made it in time? Not yet. To grow by 10 centimeters. Grew only by 5. There's a list of 102 unfinished tasks. But can't they be finished in the New Year? And will the Old Year just go unfinished? Do you hear? The Old Year is l...
