Terenty the coachman tied to a tree the horses, that were swishing their tails to drive away the flies, stretched himself full length in the shade, pressing down the high grass, and smoked his pipe, while from the bathing-house came the sound of the incessant merry squealing of the children.
Il cocchiere Terentij, legati ad un albero i cavalli liberi dai freni, si sdraiò, schiacciando l’erba, all’ombra d’una betulla e si mise a fumare tabacco in foglie, mentre dal fiume gli giungeva l’allegro stridio infantile che non si chetava.
