There lived an elder brother and a younger brother. The elder brother was rich, had a wife, had a hundred horses. The younger brother had no wife. He lived alone in a house. He was poor. His aunt was poor, they lived together. They had one horse, only one horse. That is how they lived and after a long or a short time the younger brother’s horse sickened and died. The horse died, he remained with nothing. The horse died, what can you do? He skinned it, took it and hung it on a cross-beam to dry. He thought: “I’ll go to my brother’s and ask for a horse for transporting water, for transporting fire-wood. Maybe he’ll give me one. He’s got a hundred horses.”

He came to his brother. “Would you,” he said, “ give me one horse? My horse has died.” “What?! Why should I give you a horse? Why did you kill your horse? You have to feed and heal it.” “So, how shall I heal it? It got sick and died.” He did not want to give a horse, what can you do? “Where should I take a horse from?” asked the elder brother, “I have none.” He had a hundred horses and would not give even one. “Well, alright,” thought the other. He went home. His aunt became ill, seriously ill, she was all hunched over. He thought: “I will take the horse-skin, the dry horse-skin. There’s a city here. I’ll take it to the city and sell it. Maybe someone will buy it for money, for kopecks, so that I can buy bread.” He wrapped it in a little sack, it cracked, it squeaked. A horse-skin is like that. When it dries it crackles. He took it and shoved it into the sack. He shoved it into the sack, put it on small sleds and took it to the city to sell it.

He went a short time or he went a long time, he walked along the streets of the city. From a hut a loud noise could be heard, drunks apparently. “Fine, I’ll put this sack with the skin in the inside porch and go into the house. If they’re going to drink, let them drink.” He came into the house and was recognised right away by the people: “Maxim, you’ve arrived, come here, drink a glass.” They filled a glass. “Drink the glass.” “Yes, I’d drink the glass, but I left a pal outside, a demon is left, maybe he’ll run away, what can you do?” “Oh, what did you bring a demon here for? The demon will eat us.” “If he runs away, it’ll be even worse. I have to bring him into the house.” And really, he brought it into the house, sat down and the sack with the horse-skin crackled and rustled. Oh, the drunken men and women were e very frightened. “Take it away. The demon will eat us here.” They all had another glass and: “Take it away. It’s moving, it’s squeaking.” (Just like my couch here.) “Come on, take it away, please. We’ll give you money, as much as you ask for, just don’t feed us to the demon.” Drunks - they sing, they do whatever.

The oldest man said: “Pour money, pour money into the sack and let him go off together with the sack, together with the demon.” They poured three hats of copper money, three hats of silver money, one sack of gold money. Seven big hats of money, half a sack remained. “Go away, take it out, the demon will eat us.” They all climbed into different corners of the house and hid, but he started to crackle even more with the dry horse skin, it apparently was cursing. Maxim grabbed the sack with the money, the sack with the dry horse-skin, took it outside to the sled, threw it on and set off home, to where his house was. He went for a long or a short time and thought: “Why am I carrying the dry horse-skin, why am I taking it? I’ll take it and put it here under a tree,” he said, “there it will disappear.” He buried it under the tree, crammed it in and covered it with fir branches. He set off for home with the money sack. He came home and his poor aunt was groaning, she lay on the floor all contorted.

Fine. He took the money and strewed it on the floor. He walked on the money. Gold money, silver money, copper money. The house gleamed inside from the money. All of a sudden his brother came and said: “You didn’t have any money. Where did you get the money? You’ve filled up the whole house.” “Yes, I took the rotten horse-skin, the skin of my dead horse, to the city. There horse-skins are really in demand, they cry out for them. They took it for a lot of money, they took it by force.” His brother started thinking: “Yes, this is really good. I have a hundred horses. If I slaughter them, I’ll earn money for food for my whole life, so many horse-skins. He earned so much money with one horse-skin, but a hundred horse-skins means more money, a whole barn. I’m really tired of feeding so many horses. If they start to drink water, a whole river dries up. I don’t have enough time to gather up manure from morning to night, that’s how much I dig. I’ll slaughter them now and sell the hides in the city.”

He slaughtered the horses, finished them off, skinned them, dried the fresh skins. One horse remained to transport water, to transport firewood. He brought these horse-skins to the city on the remaining horse. He rode along the streets of the city with the horse-skins and yelled: “Hey, who needs horse-skins? If you need them, buy them.” “What, you fool? Where should we put rotten horse-skins, raw horse-skins? What should we do with them?” As long as he went on, they did not buy a single skin, so he threw them out there, toppled them over. He rode home. He thought: “My brother Maxim has deceived me. I’ll take care of him.” He sharpened an axe, thought, and said: “While he’s sleeping,” he said to his wife, “while he’s sleeping, I’ll chop his neck, I’ll go over at night. So many horses gone.” He got the axe ready, sharpened it. His brother sensed these words, guessed them. The older brother had gone there, had seen the money and had found out where the old woman slept, where her bed was. The younger brother slept on the couch, like I do, she slept on the bed.

Maxim took his aunt and, when night fell, put her on his own place to sleep. She was all hunched up, he straightened her out nicely. He himself flopped down on the aunt’s place, where she slept, hunching over, he lay and moaned, moaned this way and moaned that way. Suddenly at night he heard that his brother had arrived. The old woman, this sick old woman was covered by blankets. Her head was all covered, she had fallen asleep. The elder brother slaughtered the woman instead of the younger brother. Her head flew off.

When the brother left, the other one got up. He got up, the old woman’s head, the poor thing, had flown off. Her neck had been cut right in two. He gathered everything up, swept up. The next day arrived, morning. He took her and thought: “I’ll take her to the city. Maybe somebody will buy the corpse.” He seated her, wrapped her up and he took the dead woman to the city on a small sled. He arrived at a house and once again drunks could be heard yelling, women and men making noise. He had put the corpse on the small sleds and sat her up. He put her head on her neck against the sled, like a living person and covered it with a kerchief.

He entered the house. He had covered her face. He entered the house and again saw acquaintances, they welcomed him straight away: “Oh, Maxim has come to visit us, come on, take a glass, drink up, we know you.” “I’ll drink alright, but outside I have a girl-friend, she’ll freeze if she stays there, she’ll be cold.” The oldest man said to the youngest lasses: “Go,” he said, “bring the woman in, or she’ll freeze.” The drunken girls dashed outside and pulled at the kerchief of the woman, her head flew off to one side. They came crying into the house: “Something,” they said, “has happened to this woman. Her head flew off to one side.” “Oh, my God! Just what have you done? She’s been chopped with an axe.” He had gone outside. “Look, the wound is still all fresh, it’s still bleeding.” “We didn’t chop her,” they said, “we only wanted to pull her up and her head rolled off.” “How can it roll of all by itself?”

The drunken people became very afraid. “My God, they’ll try us all, they’ll kill us. We’ll give as much money as necessary. Please, don’t prosecute us.” “But,” he said, “you killed my girl-friend, you destroyed her.” They poured copper money into three hats, they poured silver money into three hats, that is, two hats of copper money, two hats of silver money and they poured gold money into three hats, all together seven hats of money. He dragged the sack with the money outside, tucked the dead woman onto the small sled and set off again, the poor devil, what should he do with the corpse? He went for a short or a long time, he came to a forest and in the forest laid the dead woman on leftover horse-skins. He buried the dead woman. He went home with the money sack. He arrived home again. His aunt had died, now he remained all alone in the house. He strewed the sack with the gold money all over the house again, he threw it to each side. The house glittered inside. He walked on the money.

Suddenly his brother came again and said: “Yesterday there was less money, now there’s more. The gold money glitters here in the house.” “Well,” he said, “I took the body of the dead woman, my aunt, to the city. The city people search for the flesh of dead people. They go up and down the streets crying out.” What to do. Again the brother started thinking, he went home and thought: “I’ll take my wife and cut her throat. I’ll bring her to the city and sell her. So much money!” Night came, the brother sharpened his axe. His wife had fallen asleep. While she was sleeping, he chopped her in two with the axe. He loaded the woman and took her to the city on a horse. He transported her to the city and went up and down the city streets crying out: “Who needs a fresh corpse, who need a fresh corpse?” “Are you out of your mind?” said the people. “Has this man gone out of his mind? Who needs a corpse? Nobody needs a corpse.”

He went on, then he took the corpse and threw it in the woods. He buried it, did what was necessary. He came home. In the meantime his younger brother had thought of something. There was a sheep herd there. “I’ll go there and buy around a hundred sheep, there will be food again. I’ll hire one of the people to tend them, I’ll ask the owner.” BY the time the brother had gotten there, he had bought a hundred sheep with the money and had brought them home. All around the house sheep were jumping. He had employed a worker. The elder brother finished his business and once more went to the younger brother’s and said: “So, you didn’t use to have animals like this, where did you get them from?” “I,” he said, “bought them yesterday for money.

He drove the sheep herd to an ice-hole and at the ice-hole flayed one arm, he smeared around the ice-hole with blood, stained the ice-hole with blood to take water. “I,” he said, “went under the ice, into the ice-hole to get water. I went around in the water. Down below there are lots of sheep herds together with people. You take as much as you need, just ask. Down there it’s nice, it’s dry.” The brother went home. “But how,” he asked, “did you crawl out of the hole that people take water from?” “In what way?” he said, “dress up well, take a good run, jump up high and dive in head first. You’ll drop down, down below. Down below there’s a door, there’s a house. Go there, it’s a good place. It’s good, there are lots of herds, whatever you need.”

The brother went home and thought: “He got them like that. I’ll take a look, maybe I’ll get some, too. I slaughtered the horses, my wife is dead. What can I do with one horse?” Then he got dressed and went down to the ice-hole, took a run up, jumped headfirst down into the ice-hole, dived in. Maybe he is still walking around happily under the water, he has not appeared above. How can anyone crawl up out of an ice-hole?
