Well, fine. That means they got dressed and the grandson said: “I won’t be going to hunt any more. I’m going home. Help me to drag the skins outside.” Oh, he helped. They loaded the sled with the skins. They loaded it up to the top, he had gathered so many skins. “So, grandfather, sit on top of my skins. I’ll give you a ride.” He sat down. He sat on the top of the sled with the skins and the young man put the straps of the small sled on his shoulders, put on his skis, started pulling, the runners of the small sled with the skins knocked along on the uneven ground. They went up along the ground at a place without tussocks. That is how he led. The old man could hear only the whistling of the wind on both sides. That is how he led. The old man could hear only the whistling of the wind on both sides of his cheeks from the face and hair down. That is how hard the grandson was pulling. Suddenly they arrived at a clearing. Some sort of a house stood on one leg, it was rotating, it was humming. It was humming like a spinning top. They came up to it, the house stood still and a door appeared.

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.

The wolf sat at the bottom. Saliva flowed from the wolf’s mouth, he wanted to eat so badly. He sat below, the poor thing, and wept. And the squirrel, it jumped back and forth at the top of the tree. It brought the poor wolf to tears. When the evening star appeared, the wolf started to think: “Squirrel, this squirrel is alone, how can it live alone? While it leaves on the earth, it can’t.” There was a striped animal. A striped animal, related to the cat, a tiger. He met the cat relative. He said: “The squirrel never stops railing at me and our squirrel seems to be rich.” Then the other one said: “Where will it get to? We’ll look for it together now. I will catch it on top. You wait below, I’ll throw it to you.”

Oh, his brother heard these words and jumped up from his bed. “Little brother,” he said, “has gotten into big trouble, has gotten into big trouble. He’s thinking of me, I can hear it He jumped up, got dressed, went out, ran to the clearing. He saw the demons dragging his brother. He got in the house before the demons. He entered the house, up above the doors there was a shelf for putting firewood and in the far corner of the house stood a shaman’s knife, the blade glittered. The blade was three spans wide. He took it and sat up on the shelf where the firewood was put. They brought his brother, opened the door and threw him in with bound arms and legs. He rolled to the far corner of the house. After that the first demon came in. The one on top struck him, the second entered - he struck him, the third entered–he struck him. He killed them all. He destroyed them.
