      На сле́дующее у́тро, когда́ я сошёл к ча́ю, ма́тушка побрани́ла меня́ — ме́ньше, одна́ко, чем я ожида́л — и заста́вила меня́ рассказа́ть, как я провёл накану́не ве́чер.
      Na slédujuščeje útro, kogdá ja sošól k čáju, mátuška pobraníla menjá — ménʹše, odnáko, čem ja ožidál — i zastávila menjá rasskazátʹ, kak ja provjól nakanúne véčer.
      The next morning, when I came down to tea, my mother scolded me—less severely, however, than I had expected—and made me tell her how I had spent the previous evening.
