So, he stopped talking. And he was gone. Two of them were left. They see them were left. “So,” he said, “I won’t stay either, I will go to my own land. If you had a grandfather, we found the strength that your grandfather had. If you had another grandfather, we found the strength that your other grandfather had. We came along to help you. We found you a wife. Now on the day when the thought comes to you, put out cups for a feast, put out a kettle, live well, live for a long or a short time.” So. Kuzma came home with his girl, with his wife, they are still alive today. Or maybe they have died, who knows?

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 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 the wood grouse flew up and came to the heavenly father, that’s how it was. “The girls who gathered berries,” it said, “ate all of my seven nestlings. What am I to do?” Then the heavenly father turned to it: “How so?” He then made a wind: “Let everybody in the middle of the Ob die.” The seven girt down in the boot and got ready to push off. It was quiet, a stillness prevailed. They went as far as the middle of the Ob, sat down in the boat and got ready to push off. It was quiet, a stillness prevailed. They got as far as the middle of the Ob and then a strong wind arose and they all died. The wood grouse was happy and content and went along the path with songs and tales. The girls had all died.

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.

She cried by night, she cried by day. There was no brother, he had stayed. Her brother looked for her, looked for her. “Where did my sister go? Where is she wandering?”
