En: Spring had already blossomed in Chorsones. Uk: Квіти, мов веселка, вкривали землю біля древніх руїн. En: The flowers, like a rainbow, covered the ground near the ancient ruins. Uk: І море, яке тихо плескалося, додавало спокою. En: And the sea, gently lapping, added a sense of calm. Uk: Олеся стояла на каменистому узбережжі, занурювалася у свої думки.
