Babushka i vnuchek
Language: Russian (Русский) after the Russian (Русский)
Pod oknom chulok starushka Vjazhet v komnate ujutnoj, I v ochkj svoi bol'shije Smotrit v ugol pominutno. A v uglu kudrjavyj mal'chik Molcha k stenke prislonilsja. Na lice jego zabota, Vzgljad na chto-to ustremilsja. Chto sidish' vsjo doma, vnuchek? Shjol by v sad, kopal by grjadki Ili kliknul by sestrenku, Poigral by s nej v loshadki. Podoshjol k stapushke vnuchek I golovkoju kurchavoj k nej pripal. On molchit, glaza bol'shije Na nejo gljadjat lukavo... Znat', gostincu zakhotelos'? Govorit jemu starushka, Vinnykh jagod, vinogradu, Il' tebe nuzhna igrushka? Net, gostincev mne ne nado! U menja igrushek mnogo. Sumku ty kupi da v shkolu Pokazhi-ka mne dorogu.
