Vesnoj porosjata chodili guljat'. Sčastlivej ne znal ja sem'i. «Chrju-chrju», - govorila dovol'naja mat', A detki vizžali: «I-i!». No samyj vizglivyj iz vsech porosjat Skazal im: «O, brat'ja moi! Vse vzroslye svin'i «chrju-chrju» govorjat, Dovol'no vizžat' vam «i-i»! Poslušajte, brat'ja, kak ja govorju. Čem chuže ja vzrosloj svin'i?» Bednjažka! On dumal, čto skažet «chrju-chrju», No žalobno vzvizgnul: «I-i!» S tech por perestali maljutki igrat', Ne rylis' v grjazi i v pyli. I vse ottogo, čto ne smeli vizžat', A chrjukat' ešče ne mogli! Moj mal'čik! Tebe ėtu pesnju darju. Rassčityvaj sily svoi. I, esli skazat' ne umeeš' «chrju-chrju», - Vizži, ne stesnjajas': «I-i!»
