Alexander Trifonovich Tvardovsky. Vasily Terkin (№ 299604)

Came the Sergeant with binoculars.
Looked closer: no, alive.
- No, alive. Without his tunic.
- Not Fritz? Not to us in the rear?
- No. It could be a Terkin? -
Someone joked timidly.
Wait, guys, not to go,
There is no sense to pull the pontoon.
- Allow me to try?
- What to try!
- Brothers - he.
