And you better cook some noodles with - umm... yumm... mushrooms. Well, you'll have to do without mushooms Why is that? There aren't any... Oh-oh-oh... Fine goings-on... Well, don't get upset, Grandpa. There will be some in the evening. Little Masha will go to the wood and gather some. I'm on my way! Oh, I'll get you such wonderful mushrooms! The best ones there are!

I'd have written a volume this big if I knew how to write So you don't know how to write? Not even this little... If you want I'll teach you How to write and read? Yes, that'll be good. But for this I need a writing board This one won't do I need a black one Yes, madame, there is a black one - Will this one do? - Sure What will we write with?
