      Адзін пан, напрыклад, знайшоў уначы напоўзамерзлага шалёнага сабаку, узяў яго з сабою дахаты і падсунуў жонцы ў пасьцелю. Як толькі сабака выграўся ды ачуняў, паперакусаў усю сям'ю, а самага маленькага ў калысцы разадраў і зьеў.
      Adzin pan, napryklad, znajšóŭ unačy napóŭzamjerzlaha šaljónaha sabaku, uzjaŭ jahó z sabóju daxaty i padsunuŭ žóncy ŭ pasʹcjelju. Jak tólʹki sabaka vyhraŭsja dy ačunjaŭ, papjerakusaŭ usju sjamʺju, a samaha maljenʹkaha ŭ kalyscy razadraŭ i zʹjeŭ.
      It's just like that gentleman who one night found a mad, half-frozen dog, took it home with him and put it in his wife's bed. As soon as it had got warmed up it bit the whole family and tore to pieces and devoured the baby in the cradle.
