He sat on the horse and said "thank you!"
Он сел на лошадь и сказал «спасибо!»
On sel na loshad' i skazal «spasibo!»

Vin siv na konya i skazav "dyakuyu!"
"It has been a long time, since I was so well received."
«Прошло много времени с тех пор, как меня так хорошо принимали».
«Proshlo mnogo vremeni s tekh por, kak menya tak khorosho prinimali».
«Минуло багато часу, відколи мене так добре приймали».
«Mynulo bahato chasu, vidkoly mene tak dobre pryymaly».
Then he rode away, into the distance.
Потом он уехал, вдаль.
Potom on uyekhal, vdal'.
Потім поїхав геть, у далечінь.
Potim poyikhav hetʹ, u dalechinʹ.
The first translation in each case is Russian, the second Ukrainian.

"It has been a long time, since I was so well received."
„Minęło dużo czasu, odkąd zostałem tak dobrze przyjęty”.

Potem odjechał, w dal.
Zatim je odjahao, u daljinu.
