«Once upon a time there lived one person. He had three sons. There was that man, diligent and hardworking, never sitting idle. He worked from early morning until late evening, not knowing tired. He kept up everywhere. His sons were tall, beautiful, strong, and did not like to work. Father worked both in the field, in the garden, and at home, and the sons sat under the trees in the shade and chatted about everything or went to the Dniester and fished.»
