If Russians spoke English:
Do you need a special invitation? Oh, sorry. Hunger is not an ant. Work is not a wolf. It's not going to run off into the woods. Let's go. Working and working like papa caro. Go for a walk. The weather is whispering. I can't, ma. When I eat, I'm deaf and mute. Sorry. Eat with bread. Bread in the head for everything.
