Now I will tell a short tale. My tale is not long, its name is Vajnin. The Vajnin woman once lived all by herself. She had no one. Once she went to the forest. While going to the forest, she lost the way and became completely lost. So she went on and on and on, she went for a long or a short time and was completely exhausted. She decided to rest, found a stump and rested her back on it. She leaned against it and broke the rotten stump. She broke it and looked through a hole. Oh! Por women were talking to each other there, there were so many of them under the earth, so many. She became frightened and wanted to run away. The Por woman jumped out and said: “You broke my house.” She said: “I didn’t want to break it, what should I do, I was very tired. I was tired, really tired,” she said. The other woman said: “Then we’ll go together, you broke my house.” She talked, the Vajnin woman said: “Fine, let’s go together.

They set off again and went for a long or a short time. Suddenly they saw two sleds. They saw two sleds. One sled had all white reindeer, the fur on the sled was also white. The other sled had all black reindeer, the fur on the sled was also black. Then they stood near the sleds. The Por woman sat on the white fur and when she moved her backside back and forth the fur turned black. It turned black and the Vajnin woman stood there. At this time two men came out of the forest, one dressed in white clothes, the other dressed in black clothes. They came closer, the one dressed in white tugged at his sled and set off with the Por woman. The Vajnin woman just stood there. The man dressed in black clothes said: “So, sit down on my sled, your friend has left.” The Vajnin woman also sat down and he took off with her.

They went for a long or a short time, suddenly they arrived at two tents. They came to the two tents and started to live there. They lived there all winter long and all the time they lived there the men were not at home. They left in the morning and came back in the evening. While the men were gone, the women were at home, the women were at home. The Vajnin woman sewed every day all the time. But the other woman walked around the house, the Por woman walked around the house, when the kettle boiled, she stirred the pot. But the other woman walked around the house, the Por woman walked around the house, when the kettle boiled, she stirred the pot with her friend’s hand, she used her friend’s hand. If she went to her friend, she was always sewing. Then the men gone from morning till night asked: “Why is your hand so swollen?” She said: “I was cooking something in the pot and burned it.” The next day they went off again, they went to the forest every day. Once the Por woman said: “When the men come, you say ‘let’s go home’. The Por woman said: “When the men come, you say ‘Let’s go home’. We have homes, let’s go home, let our husbands bring us there.” The Vajnin woman went home and said to her husband: “I want to go home. My neighbour said that she also wanted to go home.” The husband said: “What can be done? Already most of winter has gone by and you’re living here. Go home, who is to stop you?”

Then they tied the sleds, harnessed up all the reindeer well, loaded what was necessary and set off. The Por woman said: “When you come back, don’t just pass by my house, let’s go together.” The Vajnin woman said: “Fine, why shouldn’t we go back together? Just like we went together, we’ll come back together.” They set off back to home, arrived home, lived for a long or a short time, then the Vajnin woman started back. When she went back she called to her friend and said: “If you don’t go, I’m going back, I’m going back for keeps.” Little bells were attached to her sled, to the Vajnin woman’s sled, around the neck of the reindeer, they rang out. She waited for her friend, then set off slowly. She glanced back, but her friend had already gone on the white reindeer and had harnessed some sort of mice and worms, they were pulling the sled in the opposite direction. This time on the road back she made a rope of hay and tied the mice. So she went along behind her, behind the Vajnin woman.

They came home when their children turned one. After this, the husbands once again went to the forest in the morning. Then the neighbour, the Por woman, came and spoke, she brought along a full cup of meat. She brought along meat and said: “Tomorrow, when you kill your child, don’t feel sorry.” The Vajnin woman thought: “What, kill my own child?” When she left, she went up and down the boards of the house and said: “What if I hid the child, how can I kill it and cook it? The neighbour woman was able to, but I can’t. If I put the child somewhere, hid it somewhere.” At this time the boards of the house opened on two sides and she heard the words: “Put your child down through the crack in the boards.” She took the child and lowered it down.

The meat that her neighbour had brought the day before, she took that meat, recooked it and brought it over to her neighbour’s house. The neighbour said: “Fu fu fu, the meat smells like my smell, like my smell, I can feel it.” The Vajnin woman said: “Why shouldn’t this meat have your smell? Our husbands are brothers, they’re brothers. Why shouldn’t this meat have your smell?” The Por woman said: “You didn’t begrudge me your own son.”

Night fell, the time came for the husbands to return, but the Vajnin woman walked back and forth. She said: “Where shall I take my child from? How shall I tell it to his father now?” At this moment the boards opened up and at once the child jumped out and there were little bells under his arms: cling-cling-cling - he ran one way, cling-cling-cling he ran the other way, cling-cling-cling. He jumped out and ran towards his father, but the Por woman had stuck a stick inside her child, it knocked with one leg, it knocked with the other leg. This child went back and forth–clop-clop, turned the other way–clop-clop. Its father came home and the father of the ringing child also returned home and took him home. The father of this piece of wood came home, then he went out, when he went out, he took the Por woman and with his foot he trod on her leg. He lifted her other leg and tore he in two. After this the man said: “Henceforth let no good man live together with a Por woman.”
