      Вла́дя хоте́л бы́ло взять с собо́ю в дере́вню у́дочку, но́вую, англи́йскую, ку́пленную на сбережённые де́ньги, хоте́л взять ещё ко́е-что́, да э́то всё занима́ло бы в теле́жке нема́ло ме́ста. И Вла́дя унёс обра́тно в дом все свои́ пожи́тки.
      Vládja xotél býlo vzjatʹ s sobóju v derévnju údočku, nóvuju, anglíjskuju, kúplennuju na sberežónnyje dénʹgi, xotél vzjatʹ ješčó kóje-štó, da éto vsjo zanimálo by v teléžke nemálo mésta. I Vládja unjós obrátno v dom vse svoí požítki.
      Vladya wanted to take with him to the village his new English fishing-rod, bought with his saved-up money. And he wanted to take something else. But this would have occupied room in the cart and so Vladya carried all his goods back into the house.
