Betty the Scarecrow and Billy the Scarecrow / Loved each other tenderly and deeply. / One day, at the end of the working day, / Billy said: / - Marry me!
…"Agreed! Hurray!" said Betty, and the newlyweds set about preparing. The spider tailor sewed a magnificent dress from snow-white goose feathers. The cows lent their bells to jingle merrily at the wedding. The crab strung beads from colorful shells. The nimble mice searched the yard and got rings from old curtains. All that was left was to pick a huge bouquet, and Billy went to get it.
But then one day passed, then another, and Billy still didn't show up. Betty was worried: what if he fell in love with someone else forever? Meanwhile, the farmer put a new scarecrow in the field - Harry. He is a dandy and a courtesan and wants to break up the wedding.
