The sky was high and cloudless and the sun was hot on their backs . There were big bare patches now on the southern slope of the open glade below them and the snow was all dropped from the pine trees . The boulders below them that had been wet as the snow melted were steaming faintly now in the hot sun .
Небо было высоким и безоблачным, и солнце припекало их спины. На южном склоне открытой поляны под ними теперь были большие голые участки, и с сосен весь снег упал. Валуны под ними, намокшие после таяния снега, теперь слабо дымились под палящим солнцем.
