They looked and counted - a hundred men. He said to the man with a hundred strengths: “You go, work.” The man with a hundred strengths went out and chopped and chopped, killed and killed. He finished them all off, only the commander remained. “Go home,” he said. “Pass on the message that no more should be sent.” No. He brought the message home, but the man from the rich town still had a hundred fifty soldiers and sent them again. “They must be destroyed,” he said, “such powerful warriors have come.” No. He sent a hundred fifty men again, but the warrior with a hundred fifty strengths killed them all. He hacked them all to death. The man from the rich town had run out of soldiers. He sent the commander home. “Fine,” he said, “I have no soldiers, go and call them here to make a banquet for the town, to make a banquet for the village. If I have to give my daughter in marriage, I’ll give her. I don’t have soldiers like that, there’s enough strength there, I have no people.”

He sat there for a long or a short time, he sat there, he was called home. They called him home, gave him food, gave him drink, laid him down to sleep. As soon as they came back to the house from the bath, the oldest one said: “Come on, let’s play cards a little. We’ll play cards, have something to eat, have something to drink and then go to bed. When we get up for the second time, we will get ready so that what we did we will remember to do again the same way. After this we will give knives and axes, let him throw the knives together with the axe, let him cut a path.”

The pot started to boil, they came to eat, but the liver was already gone. They thought: “So, the hell with it.” Old man Sawas went out again, the next day he went and the Por women bewitched him again. They bewitched him again, they came there, some kind of animal meat, they dragged everything there. They came a second time, but he did the same thing. He carried off the pieces of meat, they remained without anything.

He went a short time or he went a long time, he walked along the streets of the city. From a hut a loud noise could be heard, drunks apparently. “Fine, I’ll put this sack with the skin in the inside porch and go into the house. If they’re going to drink, let them drink.” He came into the house and was recognised right away by the people: “Maxim, you’ve arrived, come here, drink a glass.” They filled a glass. “Drink the glass.” “Yes, I’d drink the glass, but I left a pal outside, a demon is left, maybe he’ll run away, what can you do?” “Oh, what did you bring a demon here for? The demon will eat us.” “If he runs away, it’ll be even worse. I have to bring him into the house.” And really, he brought it into the house, sat down and the sack with the horse-skin crackled and rustled. Oh, the drunken men and women were e very frightened. “Take it away. The demon will eat us here.” They all had another glass and: “Take it away. It’s moving, it’s squeaking.” (Just like my couch here.) “Come on, take it away, please. We’ll give you money, as much as you ask for, just don’t feed us to the demon.” Drunks - they sing, they do whatever.

He came home, hung up his fur coat. He hung up his fur coat and a whole hat-full of cones fell out of it, he did not want to open them. He took them and put them in a corner of the house. They lay, he said “Let them lie, perhaps in the days when I will be very hungry, perhaps in grief when i will be in my woods, when my heart knows woe.” He went, he went again, and came home. He started to hang up his fur coat again, once again cones fell, a whole hat-full from his coat. He gathered them up again and put them down. He went for the third time. He went for the third time, it was a large forest, in the middle of this forest there was something, but he had not seen it his whole life. He had grown to be a big man, he had grown to be a stout man. But he had not seen it. Well, fine.

The eldest son wanted to drink water. He went home and looked, his mother was sitting in the middle of the house. She put on her coat. Suddenly feathers appeared on the coat. She took the sable coat, put it on her shoulders put on the fur coat like that. Wings grew out of the sleeves. So their mother turned into a cuckoo. She turned into a cuckoo and flew out of the house. The eldest son screamed: “Brothers, look, look, our mother has started to fly, our mother has turned into a cuckoo.” The children ran after their mother, crying: “Mama, mama, we have brought you water.” But she said: “Coo-coo, coo-coo, I’ve left for good. I have much water, I don’t need any water.”

Then they tied the sleds, harnessed up all the reindeer well, loaded what was necessary and set off. The Por woman said: “When you come back, don’t just pass by my house, let’s go together.” The Vajnin woman said: “Fine, why shouldn’t we go back together? Just like we went together, we’ll come back together.” They set off back to home, arrived home, lived for a long or a short time, then the Vajnin woman started back. When she went back she called to her friend and said: “If you don’t go, I’m going back, I’m going back for keeps.” Little bells were attached to her sled, to the Vajnin woman’s sled, around the neck of the reindeer, they rang out. She waited for her friend, then set off slowly. She glanced back, but her friend had already gone on the white reindeer and had harnessed some sort of mice and worms, they were pulling the sled in the opposite direction. This time on the road back she made a rope of hay and tied the mice. So she went along behind her, behind the Vajnin woman.
