He took the tsar there and spoke, the tsar took his people and put them out and he took the town lad, the village la together with his friends to himself, he got his daughter ready to wed him. The three men turned back and said: “Why did we bring him along? Had we not brought him along, he wouldn’t have taken our bride.” They had no bride, no money, nothing at all. The tsar put on a wedding, the tsar dispatched people, he took the town man, the village man and they started to live in the tsar’s house, in such a house with such things. They lived long and happily.

Well, fine. They finished the bridge. The next day they were given horses. Three horses. Old man fox went and took the posts of the bridge and from the direction of the current he bit them all through, little pieces remained. When it gets heavy, let the whole bridge collapse. Morning came, they were given three horses. Old man fox took the reins of the front-horse, old man bull on the last horse, the empty horse was fitted out in the middle. So they went and crossed the bridge. They crossed the river and loaded up the three horses with bright and white stones. With silver stones. Just as if it were money.

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.

When the brother left, the other one got up. He got up, the old woman’s head, the poor thing, had flown off. Her neck had been cut right in two. He gathered everything up, swept up. The next day arrived, morning. He took her and thought: “I’ll take her to the city. Maybe somebody will buy the corpse.” He seated her, wrapped her up and he took the dead woman to the city on a small sled. He arrived at a house and once again drunks could be heard yelling, women and men making noise. He had put the corpse on the small sleds and sat her up. He put her head on her neck against the sled, like a living person and covered it with a kerchief.

Then the tsar said: “Naturally, I will vie it. Why shouldn’t I give? I’ll give you all right, but take my man to the forest on your shoulders. If my people see it, I’ll believe it right away.” The tsar’s servants were sent along with the young man. The young man showed them his herd, the servant of the tsar went up to it and could not say anything, he just gaped. He said: “This young man is like silver and like gold. I don’t know what to do with this man.” Then the tsar said: “It can’t be helped. I’ll give half of my city. I’ll give him my daughter.” The young man came and drove the herd to the banks of the tsar’s city. The tsar said: “Take my daughter, take half of my city.” The young man lived long and happily. That was my story.
