Velja mokro cestišče.
Mokro cestišče ni bolj nevarno kot
suho.

Rdeča barva je na opeki
ovitek, če rjuha pušča prah, veljam za

The dustbin stages his running spree.
Penelopes jump over a haystack.

There’s no mushroom.

We leave on a light path.
Somebody throws a potato in the breast.

a dry one. Red color is the cover

on a brick, if a sheet leaks dust,
I’m considered sad.
