Spring Tale
About Spring Tale
A flock of geese leaves Africa for Russia, and their leader, Gumennik, chooses a shorter route over desert and steppe. Seeing forests and lakes, the birds decide he is too old and has lost the path, and they pick another leader who cannot find the way. They ask Gumennik to take them again. He holds the course and brings them home. He then sees that the land below has been made fertile.
