Central Europe. Russians: Belova, Kabakova 2014, No. 368 (Arkhangelskaya, late 1920s) [God created Adam. Tom became sad. I began to ask God for a woman. God dissuaded, dissuaded, and even agreed. So Adam fell asleep. God took his rib out of his rib and wanted to make a woman out of him. Let me want it to the wind at this time. God laid down his rib and ran behind the bushes himself. A dog ran by, saw a rib, grabbed and ran. God jumped from behind the bush, ran after the dog, grabbed it by the tail. The dog rushed. The tail was torn off. God says: But it doesn't matter. Meat will go for meat. He took and created Eve from a dog's tail], 369 (Penza, 1899) [God created Adam.

"Do you know Adamka, the little guy? <... > Well, this Adamka has three ribs and knock me out." <... > The dog dragged the cooked ribs away. Hamka grabbed the dog's tail, tore it off and brought it to God. Women are made from a dog's tail, which is why they are boastful!
