Mother tells her to look for the ring and Volya prepares to start her search.
The wheel plays hide and seek with Volya. She asks Ants, Cat, Cock, Dog and Swan to help her search for the ring. But they are all busy with work and nobody is ready to help her. Annoyed, Volya starts searching herself. Meanwhile, the friends take pity on her and change the wheel back into a ring. Volya finds the ring and all the friends are happy and play together. |
