     И без моего́ объясне́ния вы догада́етесь, что э́то ме́лкая промы́шленность, це́лой семьёй иду́щая на за́работок. Идёт она́ куда́-нибудь за го́род, на гуля́нье и́ли на кла́дбище, располага́ет там, на удо́бном ме́сте, свой скарб, запаса́ется водо́й и спеши́т греть самова́р для ожида́емых посети́телей.

     I bez mojevó obʺjasnénija vy dogadájetesʹ, što éto mélkaja promýšlennostʹ, céloj semʹjój idúščaja na zárabotok. Idjót oná kudá-nibudʹ za górod, na guljánʹje íli na kládbišče, raspolagájet tam, na udóbnom méste, svoj skarb, zapasájetsja vodój i spešít gretʹ samovár dlja ožidájemyx posetítelej.
