     Роўна ў поўдзень кошка выйшла з пячэры. Убачыўшы Амадана, яна гэтак страшна крыкнула, што мора паднялося на чверць мілі ўгару, і запыталася яна ў Амадана, хто ён і адкуль ён узяў сьмеласьць зьявіцца перад яе вачыма.

     Róŭna ŭ póŭdzjenʹ kóška vyjšla z pjačery. Ubačyŭšy Amadana, jana hetak strašna kryknula, što móra padnjalósja na čvjercʹ mili ŭharu, i zapytalasja jana ŭ Amadana, xto jon i adkulʹ jon uzjaŭ sʹmjelasʹcʹ zʹjavicca pjerad jaje vačyma.

     [original: When the cat came out at twelve o’clock and saw the Amadan, she let a roar out of her that drove back the waters of the sea and piled them up a quarter of a mile high, and she asked him who he was and how he had the impudence to come there to meet her.]

     Precisely at noon the cat came out of the cave. Upon seeing the Amadan, she let out such a terrifying scream that the sea rose a quarter of a mile high, and she asked the Amadan who he was and how he had the impudence to appear before her eyes.
