Eastern Siberia. Baikal Evenks (Transbaikalia) [First, only water. And there were Buga and Buninka (two brothers). Buga sent fire to the water, which partially destroyed it. Then the earth was formed. Booga created light and separated it from darkness. Then he descended to earth and here he met Buninka, who began to claim to be the creator of the earth. A struggle ensued between them. Buninka ruined the harp, Bug's 12-string musical instrument. Angry Buga offered a contest: you need to grow a pine tree from the bottom of the lake. Anyone who does not know how to do this must admit defeat. By order of the Bug, pine immediately emerges from the bottom of the lake and rises above the water. Buninka pine cannot stand and falls. But Buninka doesn't want to admit defeat. And then, to punish Boog, he made his skull iron. Buninka is hard to carry an iron head on his shoulders, and he asks to be released from torment. In return, Buga demands not to interfere with him when he makes a person. To make a man, the Buga took iron in the east, fire in the south, water in the west, and land in the north. He transformed these elements into heart, warmth, blood, meat and bones, respectively. This is how Buga created man and woman. When humans began to breed, the buninka needed half of it. Then the bug promised him vicious people after their death, and he took those who lived virtuously on earth for himself; (retelling E.S. Novik)]: Spassky 1822:54-55.
