He sat down and the men said: “If you women who came want to keep on living here, put out cups, put out food, let’s feast, let’s make merry! These men sat down in the house to eat. The Mos woman put out lots of food and her table found no end. The Por woman also put out food on the side she was at, but her table found an end. She put out [food], but it soon came to an end. 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?”

Then the wood grouse flew up and came to the heavenly father, that’s how it was. “The girls who gathered berries,” it said, “ate all of my seven nestlings. What am I to do?” Then the heavenly father turned to it: “How so?” He then made a wind: “Let everybody in the middle of the Ob die.” The seven girt down in the boot and got ready to push off. It was quiet, a stillness prevailed. They went as far as the middle of the Ob, sat down in the boat and got ready to push off. It was quiet, a stillness prevailed. They got as far as the middle of the Ob and then a strong wind arose and they all died. The wood grouse was happy and content and went along the path with songs and tales. The girls had all died.

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. I bought them and hired a man for here.” “But where did you get them?” “I’ll tell you where I got them from,” he said.

There lived a woman. She had four sons. Her children did not obey her, all day long they ran around, they played in the snow, from morning to night they did not help their mother at all. They would come home and let their mother dry the water on their shoes, the water on their coats, the water on their mittens. Such a life was hard for their mother. While she was living like that, she became ill and lay down. She was lying. Once she wanted to drink water. “Children, come here, give me water. My throat is dry, give me water.” She called her children many times, the children did not come. The eldest son said: “I have no shoes.” The second son said: “I have no hat.” The third son said: “I have no clothes.” But the youngest son said nothing. The mother called: “Come here to me, I need water. Bring and give me water. My tongue is dry. I want to drink.” But the children ran out of the house, they played for a long or a short time, they did not go into the house.

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.”
