Scarecrow Betty and scarecrow Billy / Tenderly and firmly loved each other. / Once at the end of the working day / Billy said: / - Marry me!
... "I agree! Hooray!" - said Betty, and the young people began to prepare. A tailor made a puffy dress out of snow-white goose feathers. The cows borrowed their bells to ring merrily at the wedding. The crab strung beads from colorful shells. Nimble mice ransacked the yard - they got rings from old curtains. It remained to pick a huge bouquet, and Billy went after him.
But then one day passed, then another, and Billy was still gone. Betty is worried: what if he fell in love with another forever? Meanwhile, the farmer put a new scarecrow in the field - Harry. He is smart and amiable and wants to ruin the wedding.
