- Egeçim, atamı, anamı aythanın etmey, erge ketgendi dep jazğandıla da, kökden jurun körünmey turadı közüme, – dep, student, kitapnı qolunda tutsa da, içine qarayalmay tura edi."They have written that my sister, without heeding what my father and mother said, has gone off and married — and now not a patch of sky is visible to my eyes," said the student, who, though he held the book in his hands, could not bring himself to look into it.
