Aww! Mello at the end was so cute!

Did you translate the poem back into Russian from the English version? If so, you did a pretty good job for someone who's only just learning. I'm in my third year of it and it's just a tad ridiculous. XD Don't know if you have it, but if you wanted to compare your translation to the original to see how close you got, here's a copy of the original: /pushkin/01text/01versus/0423_

Great story and sick with the Russian. It's a worthwhile language to learn. Good luck! XD
