The man from the rich city went home, gave the order to his people, his soldiers. They brought the cannon and shot at the larch tree. They took it all with its roots off somewhere and nothing was heard of it again. But old man mammoth went into the earth and even today goes a in the earth forest. All the herds remained old man bull’s. The herd of cows, the herd of sheep, the herd of reindeer. The fox runs around. They still live happily today.

Near to a wooded lake there stood a grey tent. A wife lived there with her husband. Once, after a long or a short time, the wife said to her husband; “Old man, go to town.” The old man said: “Go yourself.” The wife said: “You go.” After a long or a short time the wife set off for town with the din of thunder, with the din of a gun. After his wife left, the old man waited at home and sat at the table. Suddenly the din of a gun, the din of thunder could be heard. He went outside and in the middle of the big lake three white swans were sitting. Three white swans were sitting, the old man came home and sat down at the table.

He took the tsar there and spoke, the tsar took his people and put them out and he took the town lad, the village la together with his friends to himself, he got his daughter ready to wed him. The three men turned back and said: “Why did we bring him along? Had we not brought him along, he wouldn’t have taken our bride.” They had no bride, no money, nothing at all. The tsar put on a wedding, the tsar dispatched people, he took the town man, the village man and they started to live in the tsar’s house, in such a house with such things. They lived long and happily.

Fine. He waited, he sat there, he went out and came back in. All of a sudden he heard something. From outside one could hear a man coming on skis. A young man entered the house. His belt was hung with animals, he had killed so many. “Oh, grandfather,” he said. “You’ve come, greetings!” “Greetings.” They greeted each other, had something to eat and the hunter skinned his animals and hung up their skins. They ate and drank. He lay down. The old man pretended to sleep. He thought: “He killed animals all day long, he was hunting, he has fallen asleep and is snoring.” The old man thought: “If I were to kill this young hunter, these animal skins would remain for me. I would take them home to my wife. I will bring so many skins, my wife will have good words for me.”

He came home and the mother said: “Son Palchik, what did you kill?” “I didn’t kill anything,” he said. “I wounded an elk, but it got away.” Then Dog Ear said: “No, I’ll go.” Dog Ear went, went, and went. He went along and then came to some sort of place, there was a little house. There was a little house, he opened the door and looked, an old woman was lying there. Suddenly he could hear an old man coming from somewhere. He could hear him tearing trees out by their roots. Suddenly a demon appeared. He appeared there and he said to the old man: “I have killed many animals and you will not get rid of me.”

Then the tsar said: “Naturally, I will vie it. Why shouldn’t I give? I’ll give you all right, but take my man to the forest on your shoulders. If my people see it, I’ll believe it right away.” The tsar’s servants were sent along with the young man. The young man showed them his herd, the servant of the tsar went up to it and could not say anything, he just gaped. He said: “This young man is like silver and like gold. I don’t know what to do with this man.” Then the tsar said: “It can’t be helped. I’ll give half of my city. I’ll give him my daughter.” The young man came and drove the herd to the banks of the tsar’s city. The tsar said: “Take my daughter, take half of my city.” The young man lived long and happily. That was my story.

She did not sit for a long or a short time, while she sat by her brother, her sled was loaded up full as it were and she went back to her husband with tales and songs. She arrived home and looked at the corners of the sled. The bottom of the sled was filled up to the sky with a hundred animals, with a hundred hides. She said: “My little brother lives in another sky, I brought this many gifts from my departed brother.” The man was going without concern. “And where did that one get to?” “That one fell through the opening of an ice-hole.” The man said: “Fine, starting from now people will die with their own fates. The demons will be gone.” And they started living on happily. That is all. She died.

They came home when their children turned one. After this, the husbands once again went to the forest in the morning. Then the neighbour, the Por woman, came and spoke, she brought along a full cup of meat. She brought along meat and said: “Tomorrow, when you kill your child, don’t feel sorry.” The Vajnin woman thought: “What, kill my own child?” When she left, she went up and down the boards of the house and said: “What if I hid the child, how can I kill it and cook it? The neighbour woman was able to, but I can’t. If I put the child somewhere, hid it somewhere.” At this time the boards of the house opened on two sides and she heard the words: “Put your child down through the crack in the boards.” She took the child and lowered it down.

Then it jumped, jumped. The old man saw that the squirrel coming from another place was running. It thought: “If the animal which ate my children comes here I would lie down on the fir tree and let him eat me. Until I reach the home nest i will not stop. That’s what I must do.” And the old squirrel crossed the Supteng river and came to the birth and maternal place, looked to both sides. Two old owls were sitting. He is looking for the children, but all were hidden, were sitting. “Mother,” they said, “went out yesterday for cones and since then we have heard nothing of her.” The mother was apparently killed by the man who killed animals. Father had come, when father was coming from Kazymys, the mother of his children had apparently been killed here by the man on two legs. While the father was growing, the old man arrived from between the two rivers to look for his children.
