It snowed on Thursday and school was not cancelled. The stove in our classroom smokes, so we sat in coats and Saltanat eje told us about the Kokand khans in her coat too. She said: in the 1850s they also had cold classrooms, be patient. I don't think the Kokand khans had classrooms.
Grandmother made boorsok for the evening. I ate eleven.

Our cat with no name (Mysyk) caught a mouse yesterday and brought it to grandmother on her prayer mat. Grandmother said "Bismillah" and then a word I am not allowed to write. Emil laughed so much he fell off the sofa.
Mysyk sat next to the mouse and looked so proud. Then the mouse woke up and ran into the stove. Nobody has seen it since. Mysyk is still waiting by the stove with the same face.
