      Да́лее Ку́нин ви́дел, как его́ гость взял из суха́рницы оди́н кренделёк, откуси́л от него́ кусо́чек, пото́м поверте́л в рука́х и бы́стро су́нул его́ себе́ в карма́н.
      Dáleje Kúnin vídel, kak jevó gostʹ vzjal iz suxárnicy odín krendeljók, otkusíl ot nevó kusóček, potóm povertél v rukáx i býstro súnul jevó sebé v karmán.
