         ♦ Для обитателей нашей улицы эта семья была идеалом, витриной достигнутого счастья... Они не только дают полюбоваться своим счастьем, от щедрот его и соседям немало перепадает... Вот так они жили на нашей улице, и, казалось, конца и края не будет этой благодати. И вдруг однажды всё разлетелось на куски! Вахтанг был убит на охоте случайным выстрелом товарища (Искандер 5). То the residents of our street this family was an ideal, a showcase of achieved happiness....Not only were the neighbors allowed to admire their happiness, they also came in for a goodly share in its abundance....Thus they lived on our street, and it seemed there would be no end to this abundance. And suddenly one day everything fell apart! Vakhtang was accidentally shot to death by a comrade while hunting (5a).
