The Mos woman lived with her younger brother. They lived for a long time or a short time, they lived. One day the younger brother took ill. A short pillow, a narrow one, she turned the pillow now higher, now lower. The brother died. He died. She wept for him a long time, a short time, what should she do? She had so much strength, she had so much power, she buried her brother. She buried him and thought: “Where shall I go? Among forest demons, among forest spirits, where shall I go?” Well, she though: “My brother is dead and I will die too. So I will go. Over a long or a short time, how shall I live. The poor thing went, she just went and went.

She went a long or a short time, suddenly there stood an old larch stump in the middle of the path. There stood a larch stump. The larch stump bent down and suddenly the Por woman jumped out. The Por woman jumped out: “Friend, friend, where are you going?” “Where am I going? Where my eyes look, that’s where I am going.” “Well, fine, let’s go together.” They set off together. They walked and walked. The land came to an end, the woods came to an end. The woman said: “Friend, friend, let’s stop for the nigh.” The Mos woman said: “Why should we rest? If we rest, it will take up a long time. Let’s go where we want to go.” What, is she cleverer? “Let’s go, if we’re going.” They went and went, suddenly there stood a house.

There stood a house with a grey roof. The house with the grey roof stood, they went into the house and saw benches there and other things. They looked, but people had stopped living in the house, there was no one at all, no women. What shall we do? She thought. “This place is apparently meant for us.” The Por woman jumped and they prepared water and firewood. Suddenly, when the evening stars were going out, they heard two people coming with tales and songs. They heard them coming. They entered the house, brushed off the snow, brushed off the ice, came into the house and said: “Our house smells like firewood. Somebody has come to us to make tea and carry firewood.” They came into the house and really, on the edge of two benches there were sitting two women. Two women were sitting. One man shook the snow off his legs, undressed and looked: “Oh, it’s trouble! The Por woman! What shall I do? With heavy arms and legs he went up to the bench. He went up and the other man went up on the other side, jumping and leaping, to where the Mos woman was sitting and sat down.

They lived like this, days passed. One man said to the other: “If I live with her, I will become poor. I will have nothing. All my food has been eaten.” The other man said: “What can you do, if that’s your fate. If it’s your fate to live at home like this, how can I help you?”

One day, after living a long or a short time, they thought. Three people thought. While the Por woman went for firewood, they were thinking and the Mos woman said: “Let’s think of something. I’ll go for my brother, to look for my brother. If he wants to come home, let him come, we two women will go together.” The day broke, the herd was taken home from the forest. They took them home and harnessed up the reindeer. They harnessed them up and started to seat themselves. They started to seat themselves, when he said: “Don’t sit down right away, I’ll wait for you here half-way. I’ll go ahead and you come along afterwards.” The men went on skis and the women remained.

The men went off. They got to the lake, got to the lake, they puled out five rats. They pulled out five rats and then the women arrived. The women arrived, they went and, really their men were standing there. They were standing there, and they beat the Por woman, beat, beat, and beat her. The Por woman was harnessed up with seven rats, but the Mos woman harnessed up white reindeer, let herself down and left. She left. The rats, the stags took the Por woman. They beat her, they beat her, and threw her into the sled and the rats took her off. She screamed: “Ice-hole opening, close, close, close, close!” The rats sank her down through the opening of the ice-hole and jumped out. The Mos woman went on with tales and songs, she wen and arrived at the place were she had buried her brother.

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.
