Українська мова, ст. 136, вправа 9: Прочитай і відгадай загадки. 1. Навесні я зацвітаю білим цвітом серед гаю, відгадайте, що за квітка, бо мене не стане влітку. 2. Блищать у мене віти, мов срібло на морозі. І навесні п'ють люди мої прозорі сльози. 3. На дереві я народився в кожусі, кожух розірвався, і я на землю впав. 4. І в горах невидима, і в лісі невловима. Я кричу — вона мовчить, я мовчу — вона кричить: поверта мені назад усі слова мої підряд.
