    - Вот этот молодой человек тоже, верно, мечтает: мол, помрёт в некий срок папенька, и будут у него куры не клевать золота! А куры-то и впрямь не будут клевать, потому что клевать будет нечего. (И. Бунин, Ворон) — 'Now this young man here probably has his dreams too. He's thinking his dear papa will die one day and then he'll have more gold than he can count. And, indeed, he won't be able to count it, for there will be nothing for him to count!'
