      Зоран перелез с лавки на стол, выпрямился, подошёл к краю и встал, вцепившись ручками в лацканы своего короткого пальто.
      Zoran perelez s lavki na stol, vyprjamilsja, podošól k kraju i vstal, vcepivšisʹ ručkami v lackany svojevo korotkovo palʹto.
      Zoran climbed from the bench and onto the table, straightened up, walked over to the edge of the table, and stood there, clutching at the lapels of his short coat with his little hands.
