There are some tongue twisters in Russian (Rus – Lat). I highlighted syllable stressed syllable. Enjoy! 1) Жирная жаба рожала ежа, в луже лежали два жирных ужа. Zhirnaja zhaba rozhala ezha, v luzhe lezhali dva zhirnyh uzha. 2) Идёт козёл с косой козой, идёт козёл с босой козой, идёт коза с косым козлом, идёт коза с босым козлом. Idjot kozjol s kosoĭ kozoĭ, idjot kozjol s bosoj kozoj, idjot koza s kosym kozlom, idjot koza s bosym kozlom. 3) Рыла свинья белорыла, тупорыла: полдвора рылом изрыла, вырыла, подрыла, до норы не дорыла; на то Хавронье и рыло, чтобы она рыла.⠀ Ryla svin'ja beloryla, tuporyla: poldvora rylom izryla, vyryla, podryla, do nory ne doryla; na to Havron'e i rylo, chtoby ona ryla.

The English proverbs for all occasions 1) Love is blind. Blind (adj.) - without the power to see. When you really fall in love with someone you don't see (his/her) flaws. Love is blind. Flaw (n.) - crack (in an object); something that lessens the value, beauty or perfection of something. 2) Time is money.

And suddenly you forgot to congratulate your lovely grandfather on his birthday. The natural mistake. Everyone screws up. And this is a case when you need congratulate your granddad late than never. 6) Easy come, easy go. Occasionally, we insufficient value a benefit which we got easy, without any our making efforts. In the result, we 'lose' it faster than we expected.

№2 «Barge Haulers on The Volga river» Il'ja Repin / «Бурлаки на Волге» Илья Репин, 1870-1873 The hot summer day. The Sun bakes pitilessly. It is hard to breathe. It is terrible thirsty. There is dry in the throat. The eternal hungry gulls to circle over us. We are dragging the ship here's some hours. It seems, that it will be lasting forever! The feet are tangling in the sand. The shoulder numbed from pain. Its shoulder is a trifle... in general, the whole body transformed in one huge callosity. There is gurgling in the belly, a bite wasn't in the mouth since yesterday morning. God, give me strengths for bear up that! «Barge Haulers on The Volga river» Il'ja Repin / «Бурлаки на Волге» Илья Репин, 1870-1873
