Yhe Borisover Badkhan was very lively, temperamental, merry, and very funny. He had also sung and  and after dance nicely, and therefore  attended [oysgenumen] for young ladies and young wives, with whom he used to dance.

During weddings he used to not only be a badkhan, but he was the central figure, who was always animated and full of joy.

He was very poor, and when he performed in Bober, he had -- according to B. Slutsky -- recounted:

--"You see how well I dance, and how the free women rejoice with me? That is however only strange(?) In Borisov he also danced around as a trio(?), also dance there and perform in pantomime.

About David Badkhan from Bober, the Borisover Badkhan was a great [shtatisher], with free manners, with another level, therefore however many [prater].
