      Роўна ў поўдзень кошка выйшла з пячэры. Убачыўшы Амадана, яна гэтак страшна крыкнула, што мора паднялося на чверць мілі ўгару, і запыталася яна ў Амадана, хто ён і адкуль ён узяў сьмеласьць зьявіцца перад яе вачыма.
      Róŭna ŭ póŭdzjenʹ kóška vyjšla z pjačery. Ubačyŭšy Amadana, jana hetak strašna kryknula, što móra padnjalósja na čvjercʹ mili ŭharu, i zapytalasja jana ŭ Amadana, xto jon i adkulʹ jon uzjaŭ sʹmjelasʹcʹ zʹjavicca pjerad jaje vačyma.
      Precisely at noon the cat came out of the cave. Upon seeing the Amadan, she let out such a terrifying scream that the sea rose a quarter of a mile high, and she asked the Amadan who he was and how he had the impudence to appear before her eyes.
