KORYTSKY A boy named Tarasyk was born March 14, 1918, in the village of Mo– ryntsi in Ukraine. Life was hard in Ukraine at that time because Russia had siezed the territory, destroyed the Zaporozhian Sich and instituted a system of serfdom ("kripachchyna").

Poem В нас сьогодні Шевченкове свято, Пого кості лежать в домовині, Ми співаєм гуртом „Заповіт" — Але Дух його дужіш, живий, My name is Spunky Про Шевченка ми знаєм багато, Рідний нарід за честь України bu l'm just a donkey Та ще більше навчитись нам слід. Він веде, наче лицар, у бій. and when l'm crying Ми тепер рушниками, квітками Він показує стежку до волі 1 think l'm flying like a bird in the blue sky. Прибираєм Тарасів портрет, Серед темряви, бурі і хмар, But when 1 sing В Україну ми линем думками, І тому ми і вдома і в школі — І think l'm a king. Де колись жив великий поет.
