«İy ne boldu saŋa? Ters ayağıŋı basıbmı kirgen ediŋ orunŋa?» – dey barıb, Ölmez eşikleni açıb, künnü aq tayaqlarından üyünü için tolturdu."Hey, what's got into you? Did you go to bed on the wrong foot?" — saying this, Yolmez opened the doors and filled the house with the white staffs of the daylight.
