      Вдруг, как э́то ча́сто быва́ет, звук го́на мгнове́нно прибли́зился, как бу́дто вот-во́т пе́ред ни́ми сами́ми бы́ли ла́ющие рты соба́к и улюлю́канье Дани́лы.
      Vdrug, kak éto částo byvájet, zvuk góna mgnovénno priblízilsja, kak búdto vot-vót péred ními samími býli lájuščije rty sobák i uljuljúkanʹje Daníly.
