(Айтматов 1). Even his (Momun's) beard was nothing but a joke. Two or three reddish hairs on his chin-that was all there was to it. He wasn't at all like some stately old man you might see riding down the road... (1a).

Wouldn't it have been nice if every day were like the day before, yesterday just like tomorrow?" (1b).
