Здравствуйте, дорогие мои дедушка и бабушка! Пишет вам внук Руслан. Как ваши дела? Как хозяйство? Как сия имеют пчелы, голуби и собака Пират? А как бабушкин кот Бурко? Наверно, как всегда, ходит гулять на несколько дней?
Я очень соскучился за вами и за Пиратом. Я уже не дождусь, когда будут каникулы. Тогда я как можно быстрее приеду к вам в село.
Я живу хорошо. Учусь нормально, особенно меня хвалят из языка и литературы, из рисования. В свободное время я хожу с друзьями бегать на спортплощадке.
Дома я веду себя хорошо и родителям. Я договорился с мамой, что буду каждый день водить Оксаночку к детскому садику и забирать ее. Я часто занимаюсь с ней, показываю ей буквы. Вместе мы вырезаем аппликации из цветной бумаги, клеим, лепим фигурки, читаем стихотворения. Мне очень нравится ее учить. Оксанка меня слушается.
Когда я приеду, дедушке, я буду тебе с ульями, чтоб тебе не было тяжело управляться с хозяйством. До встречи! Целую бабушку в обе щеки, и Оксанка тоже! С приветом, Руслан.
