      Смала́ пузыра́мі вы́ступіла ў шчы́лінах. Навокал у паве́тры стая́ў такі́ смурод ад балотных выпарэ́нняў, што мне зрабі́лася моташна. У гэ́тай агі́днай пратоцы па́хла ліхара́дкай і дызентэры́яй.
      Smalá puzyrámi výstupila ŭ ščýlinax. Navókal u pavjétry stajáŭ takí smuród ad balótnyx vyparénnjaŭ, što mnje zrabílasja mótašna. U hétaj ahídnaj pratócy páxla lixarádkaj i dyzjenterýjaj.
