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.

“Whose herd is this?” he asked the people guarding the herd, “whose herd?” And the people guarding the herd answered, “It’s the herd of the snake and old man mammoth.” The old fox said: “War will come to you, the old man from the rich city will come in war. 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.

Then it jumped, jumped. The old man saw that the squirrel coming from another place was running. It thought: “If the animal which ate my children comes here I would lie down on the fir tree and let him eat me. Until I reach the home nest i will not stop. That’s what I must do.” And the old squirrel crossed the Supteng river and came to the birth and maternal place, looked to both sides. Two old owls were sitting. He is looking for the children, but all were hidden, were sitting. “Mother,” they said, “went out yesterday for cones and since then we have heard nothing of her.” The mother was apparently killed by the man who killed animals. Father had come, when father was coming from Kazymys, the mother of his children had apparently been killed here by the man on two legs. While the father was growing, the old man arrived from between the two rivers to look for his children.

The people arrived at the tsar’s town. They arrived and went to the tsar, they stayed as guests, did whatever. The man went into the house of the short idol. They started to tell the tsar of his words. They said: “We took a fool along with us. On the way he kept saying: “If I chop fresh trees, if I chop dry trees, it will be quick going on the path.” He chopped a fresh tree, he chopped, there at the start of your road it lies. Then he took his horse and harnessed it with the head facing back and with the back facing front.” Then the tsar said: “Call him here. If he really is a fool we will take him and cut off his head.” The tsar’s workers went and brought the young man. They brought him. Then the tsar said: “He doesn’t look like a fool. He looks like a good man.” The man said: “I know that in this tsar’s town, at the entrance to the town there are not enough fences. When I was on my way, I made them and they’re ready. Now you can receive me.”
