Once there lived Ivan Durachok. Ivan Durachok was completely filthy. He would climb up on the oven, the Russian oven, and wipe snot on his fingers, and wipe his hand on the plank, he would sit like that on the oven. Once his old father said: “I will very likely die soon, you should all go off to look for a wife.” Ivan’s older brothers said, his older brothers said: “Brother Ivanushka, where will you go? Be quiet and lie on the oven.” Ivan’s brothers harnessed their horses, mounted their white horses and set off.

This old man lived there maybe, maybe he lived somewhere. While the squirrel was crying, it thought: “In the times of the Khanty people the demons killing us or someone else will find us.” At the time she saw him, the old Russian man was an Khanty, a person with a fur coat. Then she saw that the old man came in a Russian cap and said: “Children, lie down and sleep. You mustn’t go around at all during the night. Keep quiet.” With the best efforts of these people it turned out well for all, they lived well the whole time.

War will come to the snake and old man mammoth and to us. It will come here tomorrow. Don’t talk like before. Say the following, if you are asked whose herd it is. Say, ‘It’s the herd of the old fox and the old bull.’” “Aha. Fine. That’s what we’ll say.” “Say that this is the herd of those people. Skin a few reindeer.” They skinned two or three reindeer and threw them on the sled. Old man fox went and tore of off the fatty pieces, ate, his heart was covered with fat.

The man agreed, he had been living alone and was tired of it. They went into the house and cooked a sable, they cooked animals and feasted. They sat and talked. The man started to live like this, started to go like this. They lived for a long or a short time, the story was long, the story went quickly. They lived for a long or a short time and a child appeared. A son was born. The man of tales, the man of songs shone with gold. He said: “Maybe he was born instead of the father.” Then the woman said: “Don’t think that. Don’t think of your father. In whose place he was born, there will be a path.”

The demon said: “Let’s go hunt elk. Whichever of us eats the most, that’s the one we’ll kill.” He said: “Fine, I agree.” The demon set off, together with the demon he killed three elk. They killed three elk, they took a big, very big cauldron, carved them up and cooked them. The cauldron boiled and the demon said: “Come on, we’ll eat.” He started to eat together with the demon and turned his eyes up, the demon ate quickly, but the man of tales could eat nothing at all. He gathered up the bones from the demon who had closed his eyes. The demon said: “There’s nothing left.” He looked suddenly, the demon turned his eyes up and said: “Oh, it looks like you ate a lot.”

The woman went to her brothers and said: “My husband has somehow completely stopped talking to me and is angry. I asked him and he said the following words: I also have my land, I also have land and water where I grew up. I have started to think about my land, about my water.” “Just like any person,” said the brothers, “he is a person who has a land. He has started to think about his land. He is a person who has water. Naturally, he has started to think about his water. If he has started to think like this, go. Tomorrow we will prepare you and then go. You will live on his land, on his water. When the thought comes to us, maybe we will travel to drink tea and visit.” She reported these words to her husband. He said: “They are sending us, they are letting us go.” It felt good, the grandmother’s grandson was happy.
