Tyubik goes away and Neznaika starts drawing. Gunka en- ters.

Gunka:What are you doing?

Neznaika:I can paint your portrait – sit here.

After a while he shows a picture.

Gunka:Is that me?

Neznaika:Of course, it is you.

Gunka:No, I don’t like it – give it to me.

They start fighting.

Gunka:I will come at night and take it.

Neznaika paints many pieces of paper and puts them on the wall.

Neznaika:Everybody come here – I made your portraits.

Pilulkin comes and laughs at the portraits.

Pilulkin:Who is it? Znaika? Ha-ha. And this? Gunka? Ha- ha. And this? Tyubik? Ha-ha. What is this?

Neznaika:This is you.

Pilulkin:I don’t have a thermometer for a nose. You are ill, I will give you some castor oil.

Neznaika:Please don’t – take this portrait.

Other children come.

Vintik and Shpuntik:Who is this with donkey’s ears? Znai- ka? Ha-ha. And this is like a mushroom. Tyubik. Ha- ha. And what are these kettles?

Neznaika:This is your portrait.

Vintik:Give us this or we won’t give you a ride in our car.

Neznaika gives them the portrait.

Znaika:You are not an artist! Your pictures are terrible!

Let’s rip them up!

Everybody takes the pictures from the wall and tears them.

ACT 3

At Tsvetik’s.

Neznaika:I want to be a poet. Teach me.

Tsvetik:Do you know what a rhyme is? When two words sound similar. For example, fish–dish, fox–box.

Neznaika:It is very easy. I can do it. (Writes.) Neznaika:Listen, friends, I have poems for you. All the children:OK.

Neznaika:Znaika went for a walk and hopped over the sheep.

Znaika:I didn’t go for a walk and hop over the sheep! Neznaika:Toropyzhka was hungry and ate the cold iron. Toropyzhka:I didn’t eat any iron – this is a lie!

Neznaika:Avoska has a very tasty bun under the pillow!

Avoska:There is nothing under my pillow!

Pilulkin:Stop it! That is not funny!

Vintik and Shpuntik(running after him and shouting):Help!

Help!

They bring Neznaika to doctor Pilulkin.

Pilulkin:Now you have splinters in your back – I have to take them.

Neznaika:It hurts, I don’t want it!
