      Na samym środku trawnika leniwie wylegiwała się kotka Mopka. Od czasu do czasu otwierała jedno oko i czujnie zerkała na hałaśliwą gromadę studentów, sprawdzając, czy któryś nie zamierza zrobić jej głupiego dowcipu. [...]
      Joli i Agatce również przeszkadzała wrzawa. Miały porozmawiać o ważnych sprawach, ale jak to zrobić, kiedy człowiek nie słyszy nawet własnego głosu?
      Mopka the cat was lying in the very center of the lawn. From time to time she opened one eye and warily glanced at the noisy crowd of students, checking whether one of them intended to play a stupid trick on her.
      The clamor also hindered Jola and Agatka. They were supposed to talk about important matters, but how could they do that when a person doesn't even hear their own voice?
