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.

So, they take the dead body and dress it, they start dressing it. They put the boots on, the coats, the parkas, they put everything. If there are extra boots, they boot them too. They put cups. They put everything that they have. The old boots, the new boots, everything. They put it in the coffin and take to the forest. They take it to the forest and cook porridge from the good big sack, make a pot, make tea, then put out the cups. They kill reindeer of the person with reindeer. They kill his dogs. They leave his sledges. Whatever there is, they leave it. Let it be man or woman, they dress the dead body like a living person. Let is be a dress or whatever, they put everything.

A long time ago there lived a demon. He was filthy and his house was filthy, filthy. Once Kuropatka came flying along through the sky. Kuropatka asked him: “Old man, old man, why is your house filthy?” And he answered: “My wife is blind and deaf, she can’t clean the house.” “Tomorrow I will come again. Kill you wife before I return. I will come again and clean your house really well.” This Kuropatka left. After Kuropatka had left the demon took his wife and killed her. He killed her and waited. For a long time no Kuropatka came.

The rich man had someone who could speak her language well. This man started to ask her. “This girl,” he said, “if she agrees to me, I would take her, I would take her. I didn’t bring much money with me. I have brought only five sacks of gold money, of silver money. Who is her father? Give it to her father.” Then the people said: “She has no father, she has five brothers.” Then he carried the sacks with the money to her elder brother. The elder brother said: “For so much money we will give our younger sister, he must love her.”

He was also gleaming, his clothes were gleaming, they were both just as beautiful as the other. Then they looked–close by there was a large town. They went into this large town and there were rich people living there. The town gleamed. They went into this town and a beautiful woman was living there. Melesnik married this woman and they started to live together. This woman also had a sister. Mitkhui started to live with this sister. So they started to live for good in this town.

Over long or short, his wife went to town three times. While she went the three times, the sisters came three times, the old man knew nothing. Once she went off again for the fourth time, for the fourth time his wife went off again, went to town. The old man waited at home. When she went off for the fourth time, when his wife arrived, the old man said: “Wife, three women in decorated fur coats, three women with rings on their fingers came again.” They were all shy. They were covered with kerchiefs. They undid the edge of the kerchief–oh!–they were the three sisters of the old man’s wife. The old man thought then a bit and was happy. “I,” he said, “thought yesterday different women came. But it is you, you who have come.” His wife said: “I also came with them. You didn’t recognise me.”

Once there lived seven girls, seven girls. The time came to gather berries, they went to gather berries. Across the sea. They went and went. They came to a wooded land, full of berries. They went with full buckets, they filled the buckets. Suddenly one girl came, looked, and saw wood grouse nestlings. She saw the wood-grouse nestlings and the older sisters said: “Come one, there are seven nestlings, let’s take all seven nestlings. We’ll cook them.” The wood grouse had taken wing and flown off. The girls went and roasted the wings of these nestlings in a pot. They ate them up and the wood grouse flew back and started to search, but there were no nestlings. The seven girls had cooked and eaten them.
