Tongue Twisters
(English)

Кукушка кукушонку сшила капюшон.
Примерил кукушонок капюшон.
Как в капюшоне он смешон!


Шла Саша по шоссе
и сосала сушку.


У ужа ужата,
У ежа ежата.



Тридцать три пирога
С пирогом и все творогом.


От топота копыт
Пыль по полю летит.

A cuckoo sewed a hood to a little cuckoo.
The little cuckoo tried the hood.
How funny he looks in the hood.


Sasha went through the shosse*
And sucked sooshka**.

The grass-snake has little grass-snakes,
The hedge-hog has little hedge-hogs.

33 cakes with a cake
And all with cottage cheese.

The dust flies through the field
Because of the pounding of the horses' hoofs.
