There lived old man fox. Old man fox. He went along. He was looking for food, for something to eat. Lying in one spot, from where should he take food? He lived alone at home for a long or a short time and thought: “Once I had a friend. My friend was old man bull. His house is buried, he never comes out. I’ll go to see whether he is dead or alive.” Well, fine. He went there and looked. He was apparently alive. He ran around the house, shouting: “Are you there, old man bull?” “It’s me, it’s me. Is that you, fox?” “It’s me, it’s me. Don’t you have the strength to come out?” “I’d like to come out, but I don’t have the strength to come out.” The fox said: “From here I’ll dig on the outside with my hands and feet. I’ll keep on digging the earth and you kick and thrust from inside. With the strength of two persons we’ll somehow make a hole.” They dug, they made noise, they worked hard. Old man bull came out. He was completely worn out. As was necessary, old man bull tidied himself, wiping off the dirt or whatever. He ate a bit of grass or something.

The fox asked him: “What’s with you? Are you ill?” “I’m fine, fine,” he said. “I have no illness at all.” “I have something to tell about,” said the fox. “There’s a person here from the rich city, he has a daughter. Wouldn’t you like to get married?” “Who will give us a woman? We have no money, where should such a person go?” Old man fox said: “We’ll have money. You just have to want to.” “I want to. A woman is needed, a partner for life. How should one live alone?”

They went to the person from the rich city. They got there. They were given food to eat, they drank. Old man fox said to the person from the rich city: “We have come to demand something from you.” “Why do you demand?” “We have come to propose to your daughter, to marry.” “And to whom?” “To old man bull,” he said. “But who,” he said, “has seen what he is like. You go for a walk and I will think for a bit now.” After a long or a short he asked again. “So, what do you think?” asked the fox the person from the rich city. “I think that your task is to give bride-ransom, if you have a bride-ransom.” “What kind of bride-ransom, there is no bride-ransom, but there is money,” he said.

While old man fox was on his way, he had found stones: silver stones, bright stones, red stones, black stones. He had thought of loading them all up. One could load up a horse-sled from the outside, gold and silver stones, like money. Well, fine. “So, what do you intend to give?” said the man from the rich city. Old man fox said: “What should we give? Three sleds with money, one horse-sled with gold money, one horse-sled with silver money, one horse-sled with copper money. Give us three horses and we will go to bring three full horse-sleds.” While old man fox was underway, people had apparently lost some gold money. He took it and put it into his pocket. He had found silver money and put it into his pocket. He had found copper money and put it into his pocket. He collected it in his pocket, he picked up the money.

“Whatever comes of the horse,” he said, “I’ll give you a horse.” “But we,” he said, “do not need a man to steer. We know how to hold the reins ourselves. We know how to drive the horses. We’ll go ourselves and bring everything on the horses. We’ll bring three horses, one horse-sled with gold money, one horse-sled with silver money, one horse-sled with copper money. They’re over there, on that side of the river,” said old man fox to the old man from the rich city. “The current in the river is deep, a bridge must be built. If you have workers, if you send carpenters, a bridge must be built over the river. We have to get across the water with money on heavy horses.” The man from the rich city gathered people and sent people, bridge-makers, to make a bridge over the river. Old man fox directed them, he was the manager. While the people were working he went underneath the bridge, took it, and from the direction of the current he bit it through with his teeth. He knew that the horses would set off from there and the whole bridge would be carried away by the current and all the horses would be carried away. Heavy horses, horses with money, iron ones, not light ones.

Well, fine. They finished the bridge. The next day they were given horses. Three horses. Old man fox went and took the posts of the bridge and from the direction of the current he bit them all through, little pieces remained. When it gets heavy, let the whole bridge collapse. Morning came, they were given three horses. Old man fox took the reins of the front-horse, old man bull on the last horse, the empty horse was fitted out in the middle. So they went and crossed the bridge. They crossed the river and loaded up the three horses with bright and white stones. With silver stones. Just as if it were money.

They drove the horses with stones on, they sat on the horses like on a high mound. They came up to the bridge and made the horses go at a gallop. They reached the middle of the bridge, the middle of the bridge and the horses with the stones fell through and together with the horses all the stones toppled into the water. They toppled into the water, but they went to the man from the rich city and said: “How was this bridge made, your bridge? Horses with money, iron money, are heavy. Your bridge collapsed and all your money went into the water. The river took it and where will it bring it? In my pocket I found only a bit, a few kopecks remained, gold kopecks, silver kopeks, copper kopeks.” The master said: “What to do? The workers are only human. Why did they work poorly? It must be built stronger. It’s true, you had so much and only a few kopeks remained. This is our matter, take the woman.”

They took the woman and old man fox asked for two horses. “Where should we go on foot? Give horses, two horses. On one horse will be old man bull with his wife, but I will not sit with them, I will be on the other horse.” So, they set off on two horses. The fox knew that there in the city a snake and old man mammoth were living. They had a city. They set off for this city, to the snake and old man mammoth. They went to visit, they knew that a house was made, how should he with old man bull get this house, they were living in a poor place. So they went off to the city and looked for the old man’s house. They went for a long or a short time and found a herd of wild reindeer.

“Whose herd is this?” he asked the people guarding the herd, “whose herd?” And the people guarding the herd answered, “It’s the herd of the snake and old man mammoth.” The old fox said: “War will come to you, the old man from the rich city will come in war. War will come to the snake and old man mammoth and to us. It will come here tomorrow. Don’t talk like before. Say the following, if you are asked whose herd it is. Say, ‘It’s the herd of the old fox and the old bull.’” “Aha. Fine. That’s what we’ll say.” “Say that this is the herd of those people. Skin a few reindeer.” They skinned two or three reindeer and threw them on the sled. Old man fox went and tore of off the fatty pieces, ate, his heart was covered with fat.

They went on further. They passed on, went for another bad day and came across a herd again. A herd of sheep. “Whose herd is this?” “This is the herd of the snake and old man mammoth.” “Don’t say that. War is coming from behind. War will come tomorrow to you, too. If they ask you whose herd it is, say the following. Say: This is the herd of old man fox and old man bull. Aha. If this is the herd of the snake and the old mammoth, they will kill you all and take your herd.” They skinned two or three sheep and loaded them on the sled. Lots of meat to eat. Fine. They set off again. They went one bad day again. The next day they found a herd again. It was also guarded by people, shepherds. “Whose herd is this?” asked the old fox. “It’s the herd of the snake and old man mammoth.” “Oh, don’t say that. War is coming from behind. Tomorrow it will come here. The man from the rich city will come with war to the snake and old man mammoth. He will come and you will say when he asks whose herd this is, say that it’s the herd of old man bull and old man fox.”

Aha. All the herds were theirs, they had found three herds. Old man fox and old man bull arrived in the city of the snake and old man mammoth. They got there, made their greetings, talked a bit. They said: “So, we’ve arrived, we’re having a nice visit, we’ve eaten, we’ve drunk. There’s only one thing, a horrible thing to tell.” Old man snake started to talk. He asked: “Why? What sort of horrible thing?” Old man bull listened: “This sort of thing: war is coming to you from behind to kill this city.” “But how and where shall we hide? War,” they said, “will finish us off. War means that the city will be destroyed, the land will be destroyed.”

Old man snake said: “Where shall we go?” “Before,” he said, “there used to be a big larch tree. Trees like that are hollow and have roots. If you burrow into the hollow of a tree like that, they won’t disturb the larch. They won’t disturb it. So hide inside the tree, only that will rescue you.” “Right,” he said. “I see this tree, it’s hollow on the inside.” Old man mammoth said: “And where shall I go? I’ll go into the earth, I’ll live in the earth.” So, fine. They left. They ran off and hid themselves. Old man fox lay where the animal had been lying, he lay down. He had taken care of the matter, had achieved his goal. And old man bull lay on the bed or couch of old man mammoth together with his wife. They were living in a beautiful house, in a house like the tsar’s.

They lived there for a long or a short time. All at once the man from the rich city came to visit his daughter, old man bull’s wife. Old man fox said to the man from the rich city: “So, you’ve come, only there’s a horrible thing.” The city man said: “What’s so horrible?” “Yes, there’s a larch tree. There’s something inside it, at night it chirps. Listen, you can hear it and it day, there’s something inside it.” “So,” he said, “why we’ll go home, at home I’ll give the order, from home I’ll bring a chirps by day, there’s something inside it.” “So,” he said, “why, we’ll go home, at home I’ll give the order, from home I’ll bring a cannon to shoot over the city.

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.
