So they went home, and all that evening Tegumai sat on one side of the fire and Taffy on the other, drawing ya’s and yo’s and shu’s and shi’s in the smoke on the wall and giggling together till her Mummy said, ‘Really, Tegumai, you’re worse than my Taffy.’ ‘Please don’t mind,’ said Taffy. ‘It’s only our secret-s’prise, Mummy dear, and we’ll tell you all about it the very minute it’s done; but please don’t ask me what it is now, or else I’ll have to tell.’
So her Mummy most carefully didn’t (ïîýòîìó Ìàìî÷êà î÷åíü îñìîòðèòåëüíî íå ñïðàøèâàëà); and bright and early next morning (à ïîãîæèì è ðàííèì ñëåäóþùèì óòðîì) Tegumai went down to the river (Òåãóìàé ñïóñòèëñÿ ê ðåêå) to think about new sound-pictures (÷òîáû ïîäóìàòü î íîâûõ èçîáðàæåíèÿõ çâóêîâ), and when Taffy got up (è êîãäà Òýôôè âñòàëà) she saw Ya-las (îíà óâèäåëà YA-LAS) (water is ending or running out (çàêàí÷èâàåòñÿ âîäà; to run out — çàêàí÷èâàòüñÿ, èññÿêàòü)) chalked on the side of the big stone water-tank (íàïèñàííîå ìåëîì íà áîêó áîëüøîãî êàìåííîãî âîäÿíîãî áàêà), outside the Cave (âíå = ïåðåä Ïåùåðîé). ‘Um,’ said Taffy (õì, — ñêàçàëà Òýôôè). ‘These picture-sounds are rather a bother (ýòè çâóêîâûå êàðòèíêè, ïîæàëóé, èñòî÷íèê áåñïîêîéñòâà)!

So her Mummy most carefully didn’t; and bright and early next morning Tegumai went down to the river to think about new sound-pictures, and when Taffy got up she saw Ya-las (water is ending or running out) chalked on the side of the big stone water-tank, outside the Cave. ‘Um,’ said Taffy. ‘These picture-sounds are rather a bother! Daddy’s just as good as come here himself and told me to get more water for Mummy to cook with.’ She went to the spring at the back of the house and filled the tank from a bark bucket, and then she ran down to the river and pulled her Daddy’s left ear — the one that belonged to her to pull when she was good.
‘Now come along (òåïåðü ïîñòàðàéñÿ) and we’ll draw all the left-over sound-pictures (è ìû íàðèñóåì âñå ïðîïóùåííûå èçîáðàæåíèÿ çâóêîâ),’ said her Daddy (ñêàçàë åå Ïàïî÷êà), and they had a most inciting day of it (è ó íèõ áûë î÷åíü èíòåðåñíûé äåíü /ñîñòîÿùèé/ èç ýòîãî), and a beautiful lunch in the middle (è ïðåâîñõîäíûé îáåä â ñåðåäèíå), and two games of romps (è äâå øóìíûå èãðû; romps — âåñåëàÿ âîçíÿ, øóìíàÿ èãðà). When they came to T (êîãäà îíè äîøëè äî Ò), Taffy said (Òýôôè ñêàçàëà) that as her name, and her Daddy’s, and her Mummy’s all began with that sound (÷òî ðàç åå èìÿ, è åå Ïàïî÷êè, è åå Ìàìî÷êè — âñå íà÷èíàþòñÿ ñ ýòîãî çâóêà), they should draw a sort of family group of themselves holding hands (èì ñëåäóåò íàðèñîâàòü /÷òî-òî/ âðîäå ñåìåéíîé ãðóïïû èç íèõ ñàìèõ, äåðæàùèõñÿ çà ðóêè). That was all very well to draw once or twice (ýòî âñå î÷åíü õîðîøî /ìîæíî/ áûëî íàðèñîâàòü îäèí èëè äâà ðàçà); but when it came to drawing it six or seven times (íî êîãäà äîøëî äî òîãî, ÷òîáû íàðèñîâàòü ýòî = «Ò» øåñòü-ñåìü ðàç), Taffy and Tegumai drew it scratchier and scratchier (Òýôôè è Òåãóìàé ðèñîâàëè = ñòàëè ðèñîâàòü åãî âñå ãðóáåå è ãðóáåå), till at last the T-sound was only a thin long Tegumai with his arms out to hold Taffy and Teshumai (ïîêà íàêîíåö çâóê Ò íå ñòàë ëèøü õóäûì äëèííûì Òåãóìàåì ñ /åãî/ ðóêàìè, âûòÿíóòûìè, ÷òîáû äåðæàòü Òýôôè è Òåøóìàé).

group [grHp], arm [Rm], partly ['pRtlI]
‘Now come along and we’ll draw all the left-over sound-pictures,’ said her Daddy, and they had a most inciting day of it, and a beautiful lunch in the middle, and two games of romps. When they came to T, Taffy said that as her name, and her Daddy’s, and her Mummy’s all began with that sound, they should draw a sort of family group of themselves holding hands. That was all very well to draw once or twice; but when it came to drawing it six or seven times, Taffy and Tegumai drew it scratchier and scratchier, till at last the T-sound was only a thin long Tegumai with his arms out to hold Taffy and Teshumai. You can see from these three pictures partly how it happened. (20, 21, 22.)
Many of the other pictures were much too beautiful to begin with (ìíîãèå èç îñòàëüíûõ êàðòèíîê áûëè ñëèøêîì óæ êðàñèâû, ÷òîáû íà÷èíàòü ñ íèõ), especially before lunch (îñîáåííî ïåðåä îáåäîì), but as they were drawn over and over again on birch-bark (íî ïî ìåðå òîãî, êàê èõ ðèñîâàëè ñíîâà è ñíîâà îïÿòü íà áåðåçîâîé êîðå), they became plainer and easier (îíè ñòàíîâèëèñü ÿñíåå è ëåã÷å), till at last even Tegumai said (ïîêà íàêîíåö Òåãóìàé íå ñêàçàë) he could find no fault with them (÷òî îí íå ìîæåò ïðèäðàòüñÿ ê íèì; to find fault with — ïðèäèðàòüñÿ ê: «íàõîäèòü íåäîñòàòîê»).

fault [fLlt], gentle [Gentl], sacred ['seIkrId]
Many of the other pictures were much too beautiful to begin with, especially before lunch, but as they were drawn over and over again on birch-bark, they became plainer and easier, till at last even Tegumai said he could find no fault with them. They turned the hissy-snake the other way round for the Z-sound, to show it was hissing backwards in a soft and gentle way (23); and they just made a twiddle for E, because it came into the pictures so often (24); and they drew pictures of the sacred Beaver of the Tegumais for the B-sound (25, 26, 27, 28);
and because it was a nasty, nosy noise (è òàê êàê ýòî áûë Nåïðèÿòíûé, Nîñîâîé çâóê), they just drew noses for the N-sound (îíè ïðîñòî ðèñîâàëè íîñû âìåñòî çâóêà N), till they were tired (ïîêà îíè íå óñòàëè) (29); and they drew a picture of the big lake-pike’s mouth for the greedy Ga-sound (è îíè íàðèñîâàëè èçîáðàæåíèå ïàñòè áîëüøîé îçåðíîé ùóêè âìåñòî æàäíîãî çâóêà Ga) (30); and they drew the pike’s mouth again (è îíè îïÿòü íàðèñîâàëè ïàñòü ùóêè) with a spear behind it for the scratchy, hurty Ka-sound (ñ îñòðîãîé ïîçàäè íåå âìåñòî öàðàïàþùåãî, áîëåçíåííîãî çâóêà Êà) (31); nasty ['nRstI], greedy ['grJdI], nose [nquz]
