En: The favorite day of the week for Oksana began at her favorite café in Lviv. Uk: Золоті промені весняного сонця крізь вікна освітлювали простір, наповнений запахом свіжообсмаженої кави. En: Golden rays of the spring sun shone through the windows, filling the space with the aroma of freshly roasted coffee. Uk: Люди в приміщенні поспішали, тримаючи в руках чашечки з кавою. En: People inside hurried, holding cups of coffee in their hands. Uk: Оксана зайшла, несучи на плечі свого улюбленого птаха — яскравого і пустотливого папугу на ім'я Дмітро.
