      Ве́тер стуча́л в о́кна, в кры́шу; слы́шался свист, и в печи́ домово́й жа́лобно и угрю́мо напева́л свою́ пе́сенку.
      Véter stučál v ókna, v krýšu; slýšalsja svist, i v pečí domovój žálobno i ugrjúmo napevál svojú pésenku.
      The wind was knocking on the windowpanes and on the roof; whistling sounds were heard; and you could hear the hobgoblin in the chimney singing his melancholy, plaintive song.
