      — Кото́рые без привы́чки, тем, изве́стно, тру́дно, — говори́л он, — а обтерпе́лся — ничего́. То́лько бы харчи́ были настоя́щие. Снача́ла харчи́ плохи́ бы́ли. Ну, а пото́м наро́д оби́делся, и харчи́ ста́ли хоро́шие, и рабо́тать ста́ло легко́.

      "Those who are not used to it find it hard, of course," he said; " but when one`s hardened it doesn`t matter, if only the food is right. At first the food was bad. Later the people complained, and they got good food, and it was easy to work."
