He went about in the forest and found a herd of wild reindeer. I was not very big, maybe six or seven. He found a herd. The herd of wild reindeer rushed to him. The youth thought: “My parents say that there are no wild animals in the forest, no fish, but it appears there are wild animals and fish in the forest.” Well. He caressed the animals, caressed them all. He caressed them for a short or long time, they all became completely used to him. Just as if they were a tame herd. The animals were at home around him. They lived like that. The animals bore young. The animals gave birth to little ones and they grew. This man of tales, the man of songs grew big. He grew big, he already looks like his father. While he roamed in this way, the herd grew very large.

Near to a wooded lake there stood a grey tent. A wife lived there with her husband. Once, after a long or a short time, the wife said to her husband; “Old man, go to town.” The old man said: “Go yourself.” The wife said: “You go.” After a long or a short time the wife set off for town with the din of thunder, with the din of a gun. After his wife left, the old man waited at home and sat at the table. Suddenly the din of a gun, the din of thunder could be heard. He went outside and in the middle of the big lake three white swans were sitting. Three white swans were sitting, the old man came home and sat down at the table.

“After my brothers arrive,” she said, “drive the herd home. In your herd there is a reindeer, you have not yet seen it with your own eyes. Drive the herd home when my brothers arrive. You will see this reindeer with your eyes. Its horns are so small, as big as a forest. Such a reindeer. You feed it to them as food, for a feast. You will have a reindeer to skin.” He kissed her. As it was said, so it will be. “To catch that reindeer,” she said, “on the woman’s sled there is a lasso, the lasso ring is made of iron. You will take the iron lasso, start to throw it, and my brothers will help to tie it up. They will skin it on the boards of the house.”

It split in two and the three demons in iron coats leapt out from it. Once again they bound the lad, the poor devil, again they tied him up, again they carried him off. They dragged him for a short or a long time and came out into the clearing. In the middle of the clearing stood a house. He thought: “They’re taking me there. They’ll destroy me there. My brother has a name, but he won’t likely come to help me. Why was he given the name, War-Arrow Spirit, Death-Arrow Spirit? I don’t think he’ll help me.” At the same time his brother woke up at home and jumped up. “My brother,” he said, “has gotten into big trouble, has gotten into great misfortune. He’s thinking of me.” He got dressed, leapt out, and set off for there. He looked: his brother was being dragged. His arms and legs were bound. He succeeded in getting there again. A shaman’s knife was standing in the far corner of the house against the wall. Its blade was seven spans wide. It glittered, its blade was made of non-rusting iron. He grabbed this dagger and crawled onto the firewood shelf. He crawled up. They threw his brother into the house.
