“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.

It grew large and one day he went to his father and mother and said: “You poor things live without eating anything, but I have a herd in the forest” “My God why do you have a herd? Your grandfather had none earlier. I had none. Where did you get it from?” He said? “Mother, father, I will go to the forest and will bring home a calf.” The youth went, snatched a calf and brought it home. He showed it to his father and mother and said: “Father, mother skin it and we’ll eat it.” Then his father and mother said: “Why did you kill it? Had you not killed it, we would have taken it to the tsar. Perhaps he would have given us a good place to live.” Then he said: “Mama, don’t be worried, I have a herd in the forest.” They ate that animal. The youth grew strong, he was already big.

Oh, he entered the house. A woman was sitting, like the sun. Behind her back some sort of man was sleeping. His feet were visible, you could tell it was a man because of the boots. A sort of old man was sitting and at his head a raven was tied, his head was all in dung, like in ink. An old woman was lying, at her head a crow was tied, her head, like ink, all in filth, the crow had soiled everything so. The town hero’s son dressed, took his bow and arrows, belted up, disappeared on the path through the old man’s mouth, vanished or went out. He went for a long or a short time and came out of the opening of the old woman’s mouth. He rolled out and brought a reindeer calf. He had just killed it, it was still as good as alive, fresh. He threw it on the floor, skinned it, cut off the meat and placed it into the washtub. He put out one woman’s knife, he put out one man’s knife. He said to the guest who had come: “Go, search for an eating companion,” said the town hero’s son.

He came to the river ice and lay down behind the bow. Arrows shot off from there rebounded off his bow, flew off, they did not pierce the mammoth bow, did not shatter it, they rebounded off the bow. Arrows flew over him with a whistle. But he cut spring openings in the warriors with the arrows he shot. He destroyed them like autumn banks, like water beating on the embankment, that is how they fall. Afterwards, when they were finished off, three iron demons appeared again. He did not have time to shoot an arrow, they turned into stones. What should he do? He went up again, struck the stone block with the thick end of the arrow and the stone block split in two.
