When by the narrow footpath they had reached the unmown glade covered on one side by a thick growth of bright John-and-Maries, with tall spreading bushes of dark green sneezewort between them, Levin asked his guests to sit down in the deep cool shade of the young aspens – upon a bench and some tree stumps specially arranged for visitors to the apiary who might be afraid of bees – while he went to the hut to fetch bread, cucumbers, and fresh honey for the grown-up people as well as for the children.
Al llegar, por el camino estrecho, a una explanada rodeada de brillantes flores de «Juan–María» y donde crecían también espesos arbustos de verde oscuro chenusitza, Levin hizo sentar a sus acompañantes en los bancos y troncos instalados allí para los visitantes del colmenar a la sombra fresca y agradable de unos álamos tiernos, y él se dirigió al colmenar para traer pan, pepinos y miel fresca.
