Jaşdı, onüç jıl tolub boşamağandı, boşamasa da, Salıh aythanlay, Umar az jaşap, köp körüb, köp sınap, bişib boşağan, jılı jetgen adamğa uşağandı.He is a boy, he has not yet turned thirteen, and yet, as Salykh said, Umar — having lived little but seen much, gone through much, and ripened fully — was like a man of mature years.
Bu jılları jetgen kişi [Gergoq], qıyın qulluğuna da qaramay, keçe-kün da oqub, bilim alıb tururğa qaydan zaman, küç-qarıw da taba bolur edi?Where would this man of advanced years [Gergoq], for all his hard job, have found the time and the strength to study night and day and get an education?
