He went to the tsar. He said “What are you saying to me? Will you give me some work? While my father and mother lived, they had little work. Perhaps I came here to do my work.” The tsar said: “Why not take it? You are a young man. Where I send you, you will go.” “Send me where you want,” he said, “I have already gone round our water and our land. I know everything which is in the forest.” The tsar said: “We need a man like this. While your father lived, he lived, but ha no idea what was in the forest. You seem to know “everything.” The young man said: “Then tell me what work you will give me.” He said: “I’ll give you work. My whole life I have been here and lived here and while living here I had four women and five men, but my fences are all broken. They are all broken.” “Right,” he said, “I’ll fix your fences. Tomorrow I will bring you the herd, and you give me lodging.”

Suddenly his brother came again and said: “Yesterday there was less money, now there’s more. The gold money glitters here in the house.” “Well,” he said, “I took the body of the dead woman, my aunt, to the city. The city people search for the flesh of dead people. They go up and down the streets crying out.” What to do. Again the brother started thinking, he went home and thought: “I’ll take my wife and cut her throat. I’ll bring her to the city and sell her. So much money!” Night came, the brother sharpened his axe. His wife had fallen asleep. While she was sleeping, he chopped her in two with the axe. He loaded the woman and took her to the city on a horse. He transported her to the city and went up and down the city streets crying out: “Who needs a fresh corpse, who need a fresh corpse?” “Are you out of your mind?” said the people. “Has this man gone out of his mind? Who needs a corpse? Nobody needs a corpse.”

At the same time his brother at home woke up and said: “My brother has gotten into trouble, he has gotten into big trouble. I can hear him thinking of me.” He got up, got dressed, put on his clothes, went out. He set off again to the demons’ house, again they were carrying his brother. He got there ahead of them again. He got there and looked around like the day before. In the demons’ house, in the far corner a shaman’s knife was standing, its blade four spans wide, glittering. A dagger like that. He took it, above the door opposite a shaman’s knife was standing, its blade four spans wide, glittering. A dagger like that. He took it, above the door opposite the entrance was a shelf for drying firewood. He crawled up on this shelf. They brought his brother and flung him into the house like the day before. He rolled across into the back corner of the house. Afterwards, the first demon entered–he struck him, the second entered–he struck him, the third entered–again all were finished off. He did not let his brother go, he lay there all tied up. He sat there all night, he sat there for twenty-four hours. The next day he could hear a harnessed horse caravan, a cow caravan arrive, war again. The earth trembled, the earth resounded. He went out, little animals went under the little trees, big animals went under the big trees. Then he became angry. He went and turning one way hewed with the dagger, turning the other way he cut with the dagger. As if he were cutting hay, as if he were cutting branches for whittling.
