"The scene represents a lumberjack's hut, rustically simple but not meagre. Burning hearth, kitchen utensils, cupboard, cherries, watches with weights, spindle, washbasin, etc. p. Lighted lamp on the table. On both sides of the closet sleep curled up with a tangle, a dog and a cat. Between them is a large blue with a white sugar head. On the wall hangs a round cage with a dove. In depth - two windows with shutters closed from the inside . Under one window of the bench. To the left the front door on a strong gate . To the right of the other door . Ladder in the attic . Immediately, on the right, two baby cots; at the head of each of them neatly folded on the chair clothes . When lifting the curtain, Tiltil and Mitil sleep sweetly on their cribs. Til's mother corrects the blankets for the last time and, leaning over them, admires them with a serene sleep, then waves her hand to Til's Father, who at this moment sticks his head into the door she has laid. Putting her finger to her lips as a sign that he did not break the silence, she extinguishes the lamp and on tiptoes goes to the door to the right . The scene is plunged into darkness for a while, then gradually increasing light begins to break through the cracks of the shutters .. The lamp on the table lights up by itself. Children wake up and sit on their cribs...” Translated by Nikolai Lyubimov
