They got there, undressed and after they had gone into the sweat-room, he took the ring and threw it. He threw the ring and went in himself. They washed and washed and the oldest spirit went out first. He went out, looked–their sister’s ring was lying in the middle of the floor, where did it come from? It became quiet, he sat there and the others started to get dressed to return home and the old spirit said: “This must be our sister’s husband, how did our sister’s ring come here onto the floor? He brought it.”

There were wild reindeer. He came home and wanted to eat. “The forest-going child’s stomach is empty. With what shall we feed it?” She said to her husband: “Come, to the tsar and say ‘Our child has become big. He has grown so much that you should help with something tomorrow and ever after.’” The tsar thought about this and said: “Right. You have suffered all your life. Why shouldn’t I give something.” He placed a full sack on the poor old man. He slung it over his shoulder. He carried it home. They fed the child. They fed him, but he kept on going to the forest. He kept on going to the forest.

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.

He went on, then he took the corpse and threw it in the woods. He buried it, did what was necessary. He came home. In the meantime his younger brother had thought of something. There was a sheep herd there. “I’ll go there and buy around a hundred sheep, there will be food again. I’ll hire one of the people to tend them, I’ll ask the owner.” BY the time the brother had gotten there, he had bought a hundred sheep with the money and had brought them home. All around the house sheep were jumping. He had employed a worker. The elder brother finished his business and once more went to the younger brother’s and said: “So, you didn’t use to have animals like this, where did you get them from?” “I,” he said, “bought them yesterday for money. I bought them and hired a man for here.” “But where did you get them?” “I’ll tell you where I got them from,” he said.

The men went off. They got to the lake, got to the lake, they puled out five rats. They pulled out five rats and then the women arrived. The women arrived, they went and, really their men were standing there. They were standing there, and they beat the Por woman, beat, beat, and beat her. The Por woman was harnessed up with seven rats, but the Mos woman harnessed up white reindeer, let herself down and left. She left. The rats, the stags took the Por woman. They beat her, they beat her, and threw her into the sled and the rats took her off. She screamed: “Ice-hole opening, close, close, close, close!” The rats sank her down through the opening of the ice-hole and jumped out. The Mos woman went on with tales and songs, she wen and arrived at the place were she had buried her brother.

He was offended, the guest. He was offended and was angry, as angry as could be. He was angry, as angry as could be. “Once you came to us to search for an eating companion, the grandmother’s grandson came to us to search for an eating companion,” he said. “You came to search for an eating companion. We entertained you, fed you, gave you things, a herd. Why do you mock us? So, enough, you haven’t seen me yet, you don’t know me yet. Why do you mock us? So, enough, you haven’t seen me yet, you don’t know me enough, you haven’t seen me yet, you don’t know me yet!” So, fine. He became angry and opened their door, went out and slammed it. “Wait,” he said, “soon we will come to visit you. And not one person will come, many people will come. There will be seven of us, we will all come to visit you.” He left with these words. He was very angry. He did not look for an eating companion, he had been mocked. He thought: that was necessary. The other one was very angry.

He thought and broke open another seven cones, nothing more, and again looked on both sides. He was happy and started to live on like he had lived. How he had lived before, everything had ended. The next day broke, he went off again. He though: “I killed no game, I’ll go into the forest.” He went into the big forest, and there he found a house like in a town, a place like that and there were people, he could see them coming and going. Suddenly the squirrel jumped out of the forest. It jumped out, threw the squirrel skin into a corner of the house and became a woman, glittering like gold. He said: “While I have lived on the earth, I have looked for a life-companion to live with, a companion for living on the bench, a companion for living by day, but I have found none all my life.” She said: “This is the place for us to live. Here we will live.”

They went on further. They passed on, went for another bad day and came across a herd again. A herd of sheep. “Whose herd is this?” “This is the herd of the snake and old man mammoth.” “Don’t say that. War is coming from behind. War will come tomorrow to you, too. If they ask you whose herd it is, say the following. Say: This is the herd of old man fox and old man bull. Aha. If this is the herd of the snake and the old mammoth, they will kill you all and take your herd.” They skinned two or three sheep and loaded them on the sled. Lots of meat to eat. Fine. They set off again. They went one bad day again. The next day they found a herd again. It was also guarded by people, shepherds. “Whose herd is this?” asked the old fox. “It’s the herd of the snake and old man mammoth.” “Oh, don’t say that. War is coming from behind. Tomorrow it will come here. The man from the rich city will come with war to the snake and old man mammoth. He will come and you will say when he asks whose herd this is, say that it’s the herd of old man bull and old man fox.”
