Mitkhui and Melesnik lived in the forest. Ear to them on the other side of the forest lived a demon. They hunted in the place where they lived, and the demon hunted in the place where he lived. Once Mitkhui and Melesnik went hunting. They went hunting and came to where the demon lived. They came to the place where the demon lived, the demon was out hunting. They went into his house, an old woman was there. The old woman said: “Why have you come, children? The demon will come now and eat you.” Suddenly the whole house began to shake. The demon was coming. The old woman took them and turned them into needles in her dress. She turned them into needles in her dress. She turned them into needles and just when she had turned them into needles the demon swept into the house. The demon swept into the house and said: “It smells of humans here.” But the old woman said: “Where should the smell of humans come from? I was just sweeping out the rubbish.”

Night fell and the demon ate well. The old woman said: “What should I do, I’ll turn you back into humans.” She turned them back into humans and the demon said: “Oh, I’ll eat these lads now. But they’re awfully skinny; let them live a bit still, let them put on some flesh.” The demon lay down to sleep. Morning broke, he went out hunting again. Mitkhui and Melesnik stayed with the old woman. The old woman said: “Every evening the demon lets the horse outside. The horse shines like the sun, like the sun is how the horse shines.

Night fell again. Mitkhui and Melesnik went outside and looked–the horse really did come out. The horse came out and went to drink water. They went after the horse, they watched from afar what it was doing. The horse went to the water, drank water and came back. It came back and they watched where the horse was going. It came back and went into the stable. They went to the old woman and said: “We must take this horse.” But the old woman said: “How will you take it? If you take the horse the demon will kill you. When night falls again when it goes out to drink water only then will you be able to take it and cross to the other side. If you make it to the other side, the demon will not catch you. He can’t go on water.”

Night fell again, the demon came home again, ate and lay down to sleep. Once again he ate and lay down to sleep. Morning broke again, the demon went off hunting. He went off hunting and they stayed the whole day. Night fell, the horse went out and shone again. It gleamed like fire and made everything light. They went up to the horse. They caught it, they caught it, mounted it really fast and took off on the horse over the water to the other side. As soon as they reached the other side of the water, suddenly the earth began to shake, the demon was coming. The demon was coming and he shouted out loudly at them from the other side. He could not cross, as soon as he went into the water, he would turn into stone. He shouted out loudly, shouted, but Mitkhui and Melesnik set off on the horse. They came to the to the other side and looked–the horse said: “Now we have come to this side, both of you now go into one of my ears and come out of the other ear.”

First Mitkhui went into one of its ears and came out the other ear, he was gleaming, there were beautiful clothes on him and everything. Melesnik entered an ear, too, and came out the other ear. He was also gleaming, his clothes were gleaming, they were both just as beautiful as the other. Then they looked–close by there was a large town. They went into this large town and there were rich people living there. The town gleamed. They went into this town and a beautiful woman was living there. Melesnik married this woman and they started to live together. This woman also had a sister. Mitkhui started to live with this sister. So they started to live for good in this town.
