Ty' prav: odnim vozdushny'm ochertan`em YA tak mila. Ves` barxat moj s ego zhivy'm migan`em Lish` dva kry'la. Ne sprashivaj, otkuda poyavilas`? Kuda speshu? Zdes` na czvetok ya lyogkij opustilas` I vot - dy'shu. Nadolgo li, bez celi, bez usil`ya Dy'shat` xochu? Vot-vot, sejchas, sverknuv, raskinu kry'l`ya I ulechu!
