Once upon a time there lived Sawas. He put in a fishtrap. He went to put in a fishtrap and got his fish trap ready. There were three Por women. The three Por women watched while Sawas was fishing. Old man Sawas went out in the morning to look at the fishtrap. He went out to look at his fishtrap and caught two burbots. He caught two burbots, took them home, cleaned them and cooked them in a pot. He cooked them in a pot and old man Sawas had to step outside. The pot was boiling. The pot was boiling, all of Sawas’ people came. Old man Sawas had stepped outside and was bewitched. He was stuck to the earth. The Por women ate up all of Sawas’ pot.

They ate everything up and the Por women decided to go out. The Por women went out, old man Sawas stood up. He went there, but they were gone. The pot was also gone, they had eaten everything. He thought: “Fine, the next time I’ll deal with you differently.” The next day old man Sawas went out to check on the second fishtrap. He caught a big, old burbot, brought it home, took it and three it. He himself went out. The Por women grabbed it and carried it home. At the Por women’s place the pot with the burbot had hardly begun to boil, some time passed, old man Sawas made a hook from above and pulled the whole liver up through an opening in the boards.

The pot started to boil, they came to eat, but the liver was already gone. They thought: “So, the hell with it.” Old man Sawas went out again, the next day he went and the Por women bewitched him again. They bewitched him again, they came there, some kind of animal meat, they dragged everything there. They came a second time, but he did the same thing. He carried off the pieces of meat, they remained without anything.
