      Ка́ждый день дул стра́шный ве́тер, а за ночь на снегу́ образова́лся твёрдый, льди́стый слой на́ста, по кото́рому за́яц пробега́л, не оставля́я следов.
      Káždyj denʹ dul strášnyj véter, a za nočʹ na snegú obrazoválsja tvjórdyj, lʹdístyj sloj násta, po kotóromu zájac probegál, ne ostavljája sledov.
