Sooner or later, while he was guarding the herd, these people found him again. They met him again.,“Oh,” they said, “grandmother’s grandson, are you watching your herd?” “Yes, I’m watching them.” “If you were to tell us somehow about your miracle, we would somehow also do it.” “Oh,” he said, “I can tell it, but this miracle is very difficult.” “A difficult thing, but the way you do it, we’ll do it tomorrow.” He said. “If you have fallen into big trouble,” he said, “come to me tomorrow. Let one man, a bit older, come to me. You look a bit older.” “Yes,” he said, “I will come.” “If you come, then come. Somehow I’ll tell you.”

There lived an elder brother and a younger brother. The elder brother was rich, had a wife, had a hundred horses. The younger brother had no wife. He lived alone in a house. He was poor. His aunt was poor, they lived together. They had one horse, only one horse. That is how they lived and after a long or a short time the younger brother’s horse sickened and died. The horse died, he remained with nothing. The horse died, what can you do? He skinned it, took it and hung it on a cross-beam to dry. He thought: “I’ll go to my brother’s and ask for a horse for transporting water, for transporting fire-wood. Maybe he’ll give me one. He’s got a hundred horses.”

There lived old man fox. Old man fox. He went along. He was looking for food, for something to eat. Lying in one spot, from where should he take food? He lived alone at home for a long or a short time and thought: “Once I had a friend. My friend was old man bull. His house is buried, he never comes out. I’ll go to see whether he is dead or alive.” Well, fine. He went there and looked. He was apparently alive. He ran around the house, shouting: “Are you there, old man bull?” “It’s me, it’s me. Is that you, fox?” “It’s me, it’s me. Don’t you have the strength to come out?” “I’d like to come out, but I don’t have the strength to come out.” The fox said: “From here I’ll dig on the outside with my hands and feet. I’ll keep on digging the earth and you kick and thrust from inside. With the strength of two persons we’ll somehow make a hole.” They dug, they made noise, they worked hard. Old man bull came out. He was completely worn out. As was necessary, old man bull tidied himself, wiping off the dirt or whatever. He ate a bit of grass or something.

Just as the master ordered, she went. She put on her girlish fur belt, she put on her girlish sable belt and set off to her father’s. She came to her father’s house and he said: “Girl, what bad thing has happened? In the course of a human life you haven’t come, in the course of your woman’s life you haven’t come to me, what terrible thing has happened that you have come to me?” “Your son-in-law,” she said, “sent me. He said: your father should send me an endless horsehair, an endless cow hair.” “Well, if it’s like that, daughter,” he said, “where he gets to, just such a thing will be.” But this endless horsehair, this endless cow hair was asking for war, for war. This is the name, that’s what people say, people call war an endless horsehair, an endless cow hair. When spring comes, horses and cows start to lose their hair and it does not stop, it falls out. He has many people, that is why he asks.
