Three friends catch up with him and ask him why he didn't say he saw it. The old man says he saw the choral army, and we need to go home as soon as possible. The rest of the nobles tell the old man to go to Lyng, stay at home, not go out and tell him he saw the choirs and that they followed them. They let the old man go, they go to the chor army]: Potanin 1903:15-16.

The Balkans. Romanians [The king has a son, Ionita, nicknamed Fat-Frumos (FF). He rides with the royal herd to herd horses at Lake Fairy. When she falls asleep, a girl comes out of the lake, hugs him and asks: "Wake up, dear friend!" The herdsman tells FF. He tries to stay awake, but falls asleep the next and third day. The sorceress cries, says she will not come again, takes off the FF ring from her finger and wears her personalized ring with the inscription "Ilyana Kosynzyan (IK), the braid is golden, the flowers in the braid are melodious, they sing wonderfully, at nine kingdoms can be heard." FF puts on his iron shoes, takes a steel staff and goes looking for it. He visits his three sons-in-law, none of them know about IC. He comes to the mountain, sees a cave on the other side of it, goes down into it, walks for a long time, turning into the light, and goes to the mill, which stands on a river with black water. He sees an old miller so ancient that his eyelids hadn't been raised anymore, and he raised them with hooks. The old man says that so far not a single resident who owns it has been to the mill, nine mighty birds come here every day, each carrying four bags of grain, and he needs to Grind all the grain. FF helps the old man, hides in one of the bags, the birds take him to the IC cook. FF shows the cook an IR ring and stays in his house. The cook bakes bread for IK, she doesn't take anything else in her mouth. FF helps him. IK likes lush bread, the next one turns out to be twice as good, the third time FF bakes his ring in a loaf, the cook tells IK about FF, she tells him to bring him in, orders him to be given a gold-sewn dress, they're getting married in two weeks. After the feast, FF receives IR keys to all rooms except the basement. Finally, he begs for this key, unlocks the basement. The voice from the barrel tells you to open the door wider. FF listens, opens the door, hoops fly off the barrel, the snake flies out, takes IR away ten lands. FF puts on iron shoes, takes a steel staff, and goes in search. She comes to Holy Friday and asks if he is a kind person. He gives him a bow. FF comes to a house where crows are flying over and wolves howl around. There's a witch with horse legs, steel teeth and curved fingers. When asked by her, FF says that he has come to work to hire a horse and earn a horse. Grandma tells him to herd his mare every night. On the way to pasture, FF sees a bird with a broken paw, aims, asks not to destroy it, but to bandage its paw, and promises to be useful. FF does this, goes on, does not get off the mare to pasture, but falls asleep on horseback. The mare puts him on a rock, turns herself into a bird, flies into the forest with other birds and sings there. The bird he saved tells all birds to look for a vagrant bird among them, and it is brought to the FF. He quilts her head with a bridle and orders her to turn into a mare. The witch gets angry, hits the mare. On the second evening, FF meets a hare with a broken paw (still the same). When FF falls asleep, the mare leaves him with a bridle on the rock, turns into a hare, and jumps through the woods with other hares. The lame hare collects all the hares and finds a mare by the horse's teeth. The witch is already preparing to cook FF in the cauldron, angrily hits the mare with an iron bar. On the third evening, the mare turns into an old oak tree among the trees. A hare and a bird are advised to knock on each tree with a staff. When hit, the old oak tree starts to jump, and FF orders it to turn into a mare. From the witch, FF, on the advice of a rescued bird, chooses the seediest horse. He turns into a magic horse. He has 14 spleens so he doesn't know if he's tired. FF finds himself at the snake palace and takes the IC. The serpent jumps on the horse and sets off in pursuit. IK shouts to the horse to throw them off, for which he will bathe him in milk, feed him oats and sugar. FF shouts to the snake horse that he will feed him with clover and bathe him in dew, which throws off and tramples the snake with its hooves. FF on a snake horse, and IK on a FF horse arrive at the IK Palace and celebrate their wedding]: Ilyana Kosynzyan 1989:11-38; Moldovans [When a flea was shoved one leg with 99 eyes of iron, the other with 99 okami (1 ca. 1200 g) of steel, but everything seemed to her not enough, the king's son was mischievous. He fell from a slingshot into a jug of water carried by his grandmother, who cursed him: "So that you walk around the ground and not calm down until you reach the immortal kingdom, but you will not find peace there either." The prince is melancholy; he goes to seek an immortal kingdom. He comes to his cell. The hermit does not know about such a kingdom, he sends him through the forest, animals will meet there - everyone should be greeted. Then in front of the castle, the snake will lie with its head on the doorstep - and greet him, he will be happy, turn his head - it will be possible to pass. The castle will tell you where to go next. That's what the prince does. The palace is an old man as old as the world. For saying hello to his animals, he gives a ball of gold thread. The guy goes for a ball, sits down to rest under the oak tree. The acorn asks you to get up from him, offers to live with him until he becomes a strong and lush oak tree. And when he is old, falls and swallows begin to swarm in his ashes, then the prince will end. The prince sprinkles the acorn with earth to grow, says goodbye to him, and goes on after the ball. He comes to a grape bush covered with clusters. The bush suggests burying the grape seed and staying here until the grapes grow; as long as he is alive, the prince will drink wine and eat grapes. The prince buried the seed and moves on. He wants to shoot an eagle, the Tolt asks not to kill, but to heal. If trouble happens, we need to think about it, he will come to the rescue. The prince bandages the eagle's wounds, feeds it, and moves on. The sea has receded, and on the sand lies a king of fish 12 steps long, human-tall, with silver wings, and golden scales. He asks not to eat it, but to put it in water - if you think about it, he will come to the rescue. Then the fox asks to protect it from dogs (same thing). The mosquito asks to be released from the web (same thing). He says that there will be a castle, where you have to go to the king and ask for your youngest daughter as a bride. Until he gets married, he won't take over the immortal realm. The guy comes to the gilded chambers, explains where and where he's going from. The king agrees to give his daughter if the boy can hide. Then he will live in the castle as long as the earth stands and the sun shines: from this gate the immortal kingdom begins. The guy remembers the eagle, the eagle takes it to the heavenly gate and hides it behind 9 rows of clouds. The three princesses look the same. The eldest sees the guy in the sky. The king is going to tear his head off, his daughter asks for forgiveness. The average one sees a guy in the fish's mouth (same thing). The youngest can't see only the boy's shadow. The king tells him to go out and admits that his daughter did not see him, but let him know the youngest. A mosquito sits on her nose. The guy stays in the castle with her forever. The king forbids him to go out through the gate he entered. One day, his arrow goes out the gate. Behind her, he opens the gate, sees a shiny thread from a golden ball, remembers his house, his father, and his mother. The king dissuades him, but he leaves. On a golden thread, he comes to an old and long vine, which recognizes him, but he refuses to rest. It's the same with oak. He reaches the castle, where he was given a golden ball, sees a dragon, dried up from old age, and greets him. The dragon rejoices and keeps him alive. The owner of the castle has grown a beard, half of which he puts under himself and the other is covered. The old man raises his eyelids with a crutch, looks at the guy, invites him to come back. There is a grove in the place of the hermit's cell, and ruins on the site of the castle's father. A 300-year-old man heard from his grandfathers that there was a king's castle with a son here, and that son went around the world for life without death, for youth without old age. And then everyone in the kingdom died of the plague. The prince returns, kicks a clay mortar at the ruins of the gate, and death creeps out from under it with a scythe on his shoulder: waiting for him. The prince runs away, death is his. He greets the dragon, enters the castle, the old man gives him a wool belt, tells him to die, let him wear it until he wears out so that there is no whole thread left, and only then let him come. The dragon breathes heat and tar to death, does not let him in for not saying hello. The prince gives death a belt, runs to the oak tree, the oak tells you to take an iron staff from the hollow, let him die: let him come when the staff is erased. Death sets out to erase the staff. The prince reaches the vine. She promises to be a boat and a bridge for him, and tells him to throw his sword under his feet: let him come when the soblya rust and falls to dust. The saber is rusted, death is chasing, the prince comes to the castle, opens the gate, the wife meets him, grabs his hand, and death by the leg. They're arguing. The wife proposes to turn the prince into a golden apple, throw it up: whoever catches will get the prince. He throws an apple, it turns into an evening star. The king and his people also turn the girl into a golden apple, throw it up, tell them to find the king's son and return with him to the palace - death will not be able to do anything to them. The apple becomes the morning star. Death is angry, tramples the shadows of all three, and turns the king and both of his daughters into blocks of stone. Since then, there have been stars in the sky and stone pillars at the gate]: Botezatu 1981:27-37; Moldovans [An old man and an old woman live. They don't have kids. An old man goes around the world to look for his son so that there is someone to take care of them in his old age. After wandering, he comes to the well. At the well, an old man has eyelids to the waist, eyelashes to the knees, and a beard to the toes. In response to the story about the purpose of the trip, he sends him home, because in the morning this morning his boy has been dragging jugs around the yard, watered the garden, filled all the vats and barrels. The old man returns home, sees a guy in his yard, as handsome as an oak tree, doing all the work in the yard. His grandfather and woman dress him, feed him, and call him Fat Frumos. He plows, sows, threshes, collects grapes, takes care of old people. One afternoon, when he sleeps, he hears a strong scream that makes the waters in the rivers cloudy, the trees bend to the ground, and the ground hums for three hours. FF asks who shouted it, his father and mother do not know, they send him to his grandfather at the well, who has eyelids to the waist, eyelashes to the knees, and a beard to toe. FF sets off, comes to his grandfather at the well. He explains that it was Verya-Bogatyr who shouted at Kodrul-Revakul, he heard his name, but he didn't see him, we should go to his brother and he'll tell him how to find him. FF comes to the shack, where the old man is so old that his eyebrows close his eyes and he can't see anything. The old man lays out his food and starts eating. FF eats too. The old man eats everything quickly and stays hungry. He makes lunch for himself again, and the hungry wanderer eats almost everything again. Then the old man realizes that someone is around and says: "If you are older than me, be my father, if you are younger, be my son." FF confesses that he is younger, explains that he visited his brother and wants to know why the WB shouted at Kodrul-Revakul, so that the waters in the rivers became cloudy, the trees bent to the ground, and the ground was buzzing for three hours. The old man says that only his sister, Ilana-Kosynzyan, knows, and if not, no one will tell him about it. The road to it is long, and the WB courtyard is so cleverly fenced that you can walk around it for three days and three nights without knowing where the gate is. But on the third night, you'll see a crack and light from them. You have to knock and they'll open it to him. The old man gives a horse and two dogs. After three days and three nights of travel, at dusk, the horse asks if you can see anything in the distance. FF replies that it's like it's starting to dawn, like the sun wants to rise. The horse says that the sun has just gone down - these are WB palaces. It took them three days and three nights to reach the palaces. For three days and three nights, they jump around the fence, and finally notice a crack that makes light. They knock, the gate opens. FF enters the gate, and WB IK's sister just went out on the water, walks, hums, and the jugs in front of her are jumping and dancing. FF says hello to her, and IK wonders how he got here, naming FF by name. She reports that the World Bank has been ill for 9 years, lying down, and it carries him from the shade to the sun. Why he has the disease, he does not say. FF suggests bringing him some water and asking him. IK goes with the jugs full, lets his brother get drunk and asks. The WB refuses to say it wants to destroy him. After a while, FF sends it again. The WB hits her cheek. My sister is sad, but comes back after a while. Then the WB tells him to be moved to another room and tells the secret of his misfortune. He was on a hunt and shot three turtles. I sat down with a horse and dogs under a tree so big that you can't ride it on horseback in a day, cut off a dry branch, made a fire to fry pigeons, heard the voice of an old woman from the top of the tree - complained in the cold. He offered to go down to warm up. She came down a little bit but said she was afraid of dogs and horses. She gave me three hairs, told me to throw two hairs at dogs, and one on a horse. After that, the old woman went down to the fire with frogs on a spit. WB roasted pigeons and she fried frogs, and kept trying to touch the pigeons with her frogs. Seeing that the woman was ruining his food, the WB pushed her away from the fire, and suddenly it began to grow, hung over him as a monster, strangled him, and he felt unable to move. The old woman pulled out a small sword, ripped open his stomach and took out his insides, and put wood rot instead. In pain, the WB screamed so much that the waters in the rivers became cloudy, the trees bent to the ground and the ground was buzzing for three hours. And the old woman told WB that as soon as he revealed to someone the secret of his illness, he would die right away. As soon as WB finished the story, it gave up its breath. The yard is shaking, the trees are crouching to the ground. IK is crying, telling FF about his grief. FF jumps to Kodrul-Revakul to that tree. He shot a turtledot on the way. When he found a tree, he cut off a branch from it, lit a fire, put up a tripod, and began to fry a turtle. He hears a voice from a tree complaining about the cold, invites you to go down and warm up. The witch goes lower, complains about dogs and the horse, gives three hairs. FF throws them into the fire. He assures the witch that it was his dog who burned its tail. The woman goes down, sits by the fire with frogs on a spit, strives to touch FF pigeons with her frogs. He explains that whoever roasts pigeons should eat frogs, and whoever roasts frogs will eat pigeons. She says she killed a lot of brave men like that. FF pushes her away. The old woman gets up to grow into a scarecrow, and he tells the dogs and the horse to take her. Dogs begin to vomit and drag the woman along the ground. When she gets up, the horse knocks her down with his hoof. She asks for mercy, the FF demands to tell me where the heart and kidneys of the WB are. Old woman: At the top of the tree, in the third room upstairs between two jugs with living and dead water. FF climbs a tree, takes his heart and kidneys. When they step on the ground, dogs turn their heads. The witch opens her eyes, looks at the tree, blows at it; the tree falls down. FF turns around and throws the tree into the sky so forcefully that chips fly from the sky for three days. On his order, dogs and a horse tear it apart, FF splashes dead water on it, pieces grow together, splashes alive - the woman comes to life. Dogs throw themselves at the witch again, tear them to pieces. The FF burns what's left, and scattered the ash down the wind. The horse saddles. Goes to the IC. They go to the dead WB, cut its stomach; after throwing away the wood dust, they wash it with wine, put the heart and kidneys in their original place, splash dead water, and the entrails grow together. FF gives a jug of live water to IR, and steps aside by itself. When the sister sprayed WB with live water, he says that he slept for a long time. IK: I would have slept my eyelid and wouldn't wake up if his heart and kidneys hadn't returned to him, and FF did it. WB hugs him, kisses him and happily swallows him. The IC asks me to let him go. WB releases, FF is becoming much more beautiful. The World Bank thanks him for his return to his strength, gives his sister and all the goods in the palace. He warns that there is a manor house near where there are snakes. He's been dreaming of marrying IK for a long time. They fought many times, but neither he could defeat Verya-Bogatyr, nor his World Bank. We must beware of stepping on his land. As soon as they cross the border of his estate, he will select IC. On a holiday, FF and IK go to inspect their properties. Bypassing them, they accidentally step on the border of the snake estate, fog falls to the ground, turns into darkness and darkness, and IR disappears. FF returns in tears to Vere-Bogatyr, says goodbye, goes to look for IR. A man sits by a large river, one jaw on one bank and the other on the other, and when he swallows water, not a drop of water remains in the river, fish fight on land and the ground cracks. No matter how much water comes into that river, he drinks all over and shouts: "I'm dying of thirst, dying of thirst!" FF is surprised. The man suggests that it is better to marvel at the FF, who killed the witch and resurrected the WB. FF says it's him, going to the dragon for IC. The person asks to take it with him, promises to come in handy. They fraternize, walk, see 12 plows in a row in one field, a person goes after plows, eats furrows and shouts to plow sooner, otherwise he dies of hunger! FF is surprised. The one who ate the furrows, Flamynzila-Unsaturated, suggests that FF caught the witch, burned her, and scattered the ashes to the wind. He asks you to take it with him, maybe he will help him, or maybe he'll get food for himself, otherwise he won't remember being full since he lives. They fraternize, walk, see 12 firewood trucks burning, and among them a man dressed in 12 covers, crooked in three deaths, so that his head touches his legs and trembles with the cold. FF laughs at Jerila-Freezila, who tells you to laugh at himself, because without him, you can't get rid of the snake IC. They fraternize, walk, see a man with 6 millstones on one leg and 6 on the other. When it hits the millstones on the left with millstones on the right, it runs around half the world, and when it hits from left to right, it rushes like the wind in the opposite direction. When a sieve of water collects, it returns it to its place unspilled. This is Fujila-Runaway Dogonyu, he doesn't feel any stones on his legs. I tell myself to be surprised: where you go, it's hard to be without him. They fraternize, walk, meet an unwashed shooter: 6 pounds of dirt in each eye, and he kills a mosquito in the ninth sky with an arrow without aiming. I tell myself to be surprised: where you go, it's hard to be without him. They fraternize, walk, meet a man who sleeps on a rope and screams in his sleep that he has nowhere to stretch out. They fraternize, walk, come to the serpent's palace. The palace is surrounded by a fence of stakes, each with a human head on it. Only one pole at the gate is headless and shouts: "Head, head!" They knock on the gate, the serpent comes out. When the serpent finds out why the FF came, he says he will give him the IC, but let him follow all orders, otherwise hang out on an empty cola. The serpent tells its servants to prepare rest rooms for guests. The servant leads to the copper house, under which day and night are fire, the house is red outside and inside.. The freezer comes in first, from his breathing in the house like on a summer evening, just right to rest. Everyone goes to bed, Freezer sticks her head out so as not to freeze her friends with her breath. By morning, frost covers him like feathers, and when he sighs, he sweeps snow at the door. The serpent calls the servant to remove the ash and bones from the house. The servant opens the doors: they are icy, the guests scream that they are freezing. The serpent gets scared, puts everyone at the table. If they eat and drink everything they put on the table, they will give it to IR. It brings 99 cows, 99 bread ovens and 99 barrels of wine. Insatiated and Drink-I want to tell my brothers to take as much as they need, eat and drink the rest. The serpent is telling FF to raze the hills around the castle to the ground by tomorrow morning. Drive-Hills-Encircling throws a rope and starts tying the two hills together, and then twisting it overhead so that one hill flies to one end of the earth and the other to the other. The serpent agrees to give the IC, but first you should send a brave man to bring a bucket of water from the Gray Mountains. The snake will also send a grandmother with a bucket for water, and if the FF person comes earlier, he will give the IR. The serpent sends his grandmother with the bucket through the water in the evening, and Run-Dogon goes to bed. It is difficult to wake him up at dawn. The old woman is already turning back. Run away and Dogonyu starts throwing millstones and gets to the Gray Mountains while they are still sleeping, collects a bucket of water and catches up with his grandmother. She offers to take a break, put her head in her arms and rest, puts her spell, and puts a snake bone under his head. At the request of FF Okila, the All-Seeing sees why he hesitates to Run Away and Dogon, sees that only the grandmother is coming, and Run-Catch Up is sleeping. He fires an arrow, she knocks a bone out from under the sleeping man, he catches up with his grandmother, brings water. The serpent gives to IK FF, but forbids them to walk on its lands, their way by sea. He thinks they won't be able to cross the sea and will remain his servants for life. When they reach the sea, Freezela freezes it, they cross over to the other side. The serpent is chasing. When it's in the middle of the sea, Frozen breathes fire from one nostril, the serpent sinks to the bottom and is eaten by crayfish and fish. FF and Ilyana Kosynzyana go their own way. Each assistant is left in his place. They arrive at Vere-Bogatyr, who blesses them to the crown. He turns all his wealth into three golden apples and gives them as a dowry. From there, young people go home to their grandmother and grandfather, have a wedding there]: Botezat 1981:235-246; Hungarians [when dying, the poor man tells his three sons that, according to the sorcerer, the stolen sun and moon will be returned by one of them, but he does not know who exactly;

Young Ivan Tsarevich has heroic strength and lives with his mother. From another land, its ruler Burzachilo Poganoe writes to fight against him. I. is looking for a horse. Lots of horses, but whoever she sits on will fall. If you put your finger down, it falls. She walks through the city in sadness, meets an old woman: why did she think about it. I. replies that how does she, an old witch, know the royal thought. He changed his mind, returned to the old woman, tells his misfortune. Old woman: His grandfather's horse is standing in the earthen stable. He's already eaten the ground knee-deep. We have to go out into the green garden, shout well done, whistle like a hero, the horse will give a voice. I. tells her mother everything, she is happy. I. goes to the garden, screams, whistles - the horse responds. I. discovers a shield in the ground, goes down the stairs, where a horse is chained 12 chains. When he sees I., he breaks his chains. I. asks the horse to serve him as he served his grandfather. The horse asks him to let him go for 7 days to walk in green meadows and silk grasses, and during this time get a golden saddle. The saddle is made by a hundred craftsmen, but it is either small or large, not suitable for a horse. I. is walking around the city, the same old woman advises you to take the saddle hanging in the corner on the left in the corner, which is covered with moss, and gilding it, it will do. After 7 and I. days, he goes out into the open field, screams well done, whistles like a hero, the horse comes running, the ground trembles, the saddle is just right. I. goes to war without troops. The horse helps by trampling enemy troops with its hooves. I. takes Burzachilo Pogany prisoner, who asks not to kill him, but to tie him to a stirrup, take him to his kingdom, imprison him and feed him meager food.

When she hears a sigh, she brings BP, falls in love with him, begins to feed him better, and plans to kill her son with him.

I. agrees, calls the horse, who informs that his mother has fallen in love with BP, tells him to wear three cast-iron lats and go to his mother for a blessing, although she will not give it. The mother refuses to bless; he goes to his godmother for a blessing. The horse is running, the earth is trembling, mountains and valleys jumping, rivers and lakes are covered with its tail. They don't reach three miles, they start baking with fire. Molten first armor flows down from I., the second verst, and the third at the last. The horse tells you to look at the golden hair in his mane: when it starts writhing, cut it to the left with a sword. I. cuts off the snake's three heads, takes the lungs and the liver. The horse says his mother sent him to death on purpose. Upon returning, I. first of all goes to the PSU, he unlocks it. The mother throws away the lungs, the liver, the PSU advises her to send I. bring the lungs of the liver of an 8-headed snake. The mother again refuses to bless her son; he goes to his godmother for a blessing. The horse tells you to wear 6 cast-iron lats on him and himself. When they drive 6 miles, the fire melts all the armor one by one. The horse tells you to look at the golden hair in his mane when it starts writhing - cut it to the right with a sword. I. cuts off the snake's six heads, takes the lungs and the liver. When he returns, he goes back to BA, he denies it. The mother throws out the lungs, the liver, on the advice of the PD, sends I. to bring the lungs of the liver of a 9-headed snake. He refuses to bless I. again; he goes to his godmother for a blessing. The horse tells you to wear 9 cast-iron lats on him and himself. When you drive 9 miles, the fire melts all the armor one by one. The horse tells you to look at the golden hair in his mane when it starts writhing - cut it to the left with a sword. I. cuts off six heads of the snake, but he waves his trunk and knocks I. out of the saddle. I. falls down and falls asleep in a heroic dream for 9 days and 9 nights, and the monster suffers from him. The horse decides that I. is dead and flees to their kingdom. The mother rejoices, releases BP from prison, brings her to the palace, drinks and has fun. Iyu wakes up, throws off her monster, grieves that there is no horse, goes wherever her eyes look. It comes to a hut in the woods. There's a blind old man sitting in it. Without seeing I., he recognizes him and says hello. Says he knew his dad. He explains that he was wounded in one battle, after which his eyes were covered with wild meat.

She flies for 12 hours, and when she comes back, I. puts her knee in. The mace is crumbling. I. makes a mace of 25 pounds. Orders a pick and a saber. He goes out into the open field, shouts well done, whistles like a Cossack, calling for a horse. He comes running, the ground is trembling under him, half of him is golden and half is silver. The horse asks I. what he wants. I. wants to go into the white world, purify it, defeat the bad Falcon. He receives a blessing from his father and mother, puts a golden saddle on the horse, takes his weapon with him and rides. Three days later he arrives in the realm of King Projord. The king eats 10 people a day, and the unfit Falcon delivers food to him. When he whistles, people fall for 12 miles. This is how he delivers 10 people a day to King Glutton. He sits alone on 12 oaks and has 12 antlers. The falcon finds out I., says hello, finds out if he has come by hunting, and they will fight or put up. I. shouts well done, whistles like a Cossack, asks for the blessings of the Lord, all relatives, father, mother and his horse. He kills Falcon with one blow with a mace, cuts off his head, puts him on his peak, cuts his torso into small poppies and burns him on aspen wood, then screams well done, whistles like a Cossack, announces a horse that they are going to see the wretched Tsar Prozhor. Hearing that someone is coming, King Prozhor asks who his wretched Falcon missed. The probe is fat, his eyes are swam and his eyebrows are overgrown, he can't see anything. The burner orders loyal servants to raise his eyebrows with forks. He wants to see Y. I. takes a mace and goes to it, the porch is bursting under his feet. Shows King Falcon at his peak. King Prozhor demands that loyal servants serve food and drink - that he and I. drink and eat, and orders him to be given a golden chair. I. does not eat or drink, sits down with him without saying anything, takes off his 12-pound hat from his head and kills the unfit King Projor with it, breaking through a stone wall on three arshins. Having traveled unrecognized to another kingdom, where a pond with 12 stones is being built, he helps throw the stones where they should be free of charge, although the walkways break under his weight, and announces that he is a strong mighty hero I. Ivanov, let them pray to God for him. He comes to the church - Father Mikolai's Cathedral, prays to God and bows to Father Mikolai for his health. He visits his father and mother, tells them that he has cleared the light, and now let the Christian world pray to God for him. She lies down on his father's bed and dies. He enters the saints, becomes Saint I. He will now be in charge of a thundercloud. He tells his father to take the horse's ass and thank him.

The elder takes corned beef, bread and wine with him. The mouse asks to share, he kicks her. He falls asleep at midnight, the carrots are eaten in the morning. It's the same with the middle son. The younger one treats the mouse. She says that golden carrots are eaten by a golden bear. When she comes, she will bite the sleeping prince's ear, he will wake up and must shoot without looking. The prince injures a bear and follows the bloody trail with his brothers to the hole. They chain the elder, he does not return, then the middle one (the same). The youngest comes down, walks across the field, sees a hut. There's an old woman on the stove, he bows to her. Baba thanks and says she would have eaten it otherwise.

Thanks for the welcome, otherwise I would eat it. I haven't heard of a golden bear, she gives me a bottle of strength and a ring that summons 24 devils. She sends her to her sister, who is so old that her eyelids are covered with brines. Baba thanks for the greeting, otherwise she would eat it. I've heard about the bear, but I don't know where it is now. It gives a bottle of strength and a ring. The prince comes to a bridge made of braids, 12 devils fight on it, and he cannot cross. At this time, the girl rides on a wagon drawn by two dogs. This is the first woman's daughter. The dogs enter the swamp and cannot pull out the wagon, the prince pulls it out.

He puts them in prison, marries the most beautiful of the three girls]: Day 1981:45-50; Western Ukrainians (Transcarpathia, Tyachiv district, p. Dulova) [The tsar has three sons and a daughter, the eldest sons study well, the youngest Ivan Farmudz is stupid, Pepelyanik. The brothers decide to find out why their father has one eye crying and the other laughing. The oldest one comes first. The king reads, there is a saber on the table, he swings at his son, he runs away, the king throws his sword after him, and she pierces the door. It's the same with the middle son. When the IF enters, the king swings, and the IF puts his head on the table: the king has the right to kill him. The king reports that he was sold to an unclean man in his mother's womb. When he dies, the devils will smash his bones across seven powers, so one eye cries. But he hopes his sons will protect him, so the second one laughs. He tells you to cook 7 fathoms of firewood, dig a grave in 7 fathoms deep, sons spend the night near the grave and burn a fire, sabers in their hands, three snakes will arrive at night: at 9 o'clock - three-headed, at 10 a.m. - 6-headed, at midnight - Chapter 12 If someone comes for a sister, give it back. The king is dead, the brothers spend the night at the grave. The elders fall asleep. IF kills a 3-headed snake, blood almost flooded the sleepers. The IF puts logs under the heads of sleepy brothers. Kills the 6-headed, the blood almost flooded the sleepers, the IF seats sleepy brothers. A 12-headed serpent arrives. Ivan cuts 6 goals, then 6 more, but one always returns to the place. The IF pierces the snake's neck and presses it to the ground, the blood cools down, the head cannot grow. Blood flows like a river, and IF puts the sleepy brothers standing still. The fire went out, the IF climbs the ash tree, the light is in the distance, the IF is walking, the forest is on the way, two women ask to judge who is older. It's Night and Day. The IF ties them to poles at a distance, tells them to remain silent until they return, otherwise they will cut off their heads. It comes to a fire of 300 fathoms of firewood, robbers (sprays) sleep around. The IF cuts off the stick, splits the end and pulls out the smut in a split, but the coal falls on the senior robber. The IF runs away with fire. The robbers wake up, the younger and middle do not see anything, the eldest gets up, his head rises above the trees, he sees the IF, steps several times, catches up with the IF, puts it in the palm of his hand, brings him to the fire, calls it an ant, promises to kill for stealing smut. IF calls himself the best thief in the world. The robber demands help to steal the king's daughter. The sun never shone on her, the wind never blew on her forehead, golden hair on her head, her beauty is indescribable. The robbers have not been able to steal it for three years: there is a golden rooster at the royal gate and as soon as they approach, he starts singing and the army shoots. The IF crawls up, kills a rooster, finds the room where the girl sleeps, calls the robbers one by one, cuts everyone's head, changes rings with the sleeping princess, leaves a note: IF hacked three snakes, Night and He tied the day to trees, shot a rooster, cut off the heads of the robbers, and exchanged rings with the princess. Night and Day are asked to let them go: it has been dark for 7 days. The IF judges this way: in summer it should be a long day (a lot of work, the harvest must ripen), and in winter it should be short. Night and day sign an eternal contract. The IF returns, cuts the frozen blood of snakes, the brothers who wake up fainting with fear. The Interfax rules the state. At midnight, musicians come and demand to give what their father ordered, otherwise they will leave no stone unturned. The IF throws their sister out the window. The musicians are playing, the wind is blowing - a train of 100 carriages flies across forests and seas. The neighboring king promised a daughter to whoever would kill the thieves. A gypsy servant finds the bodies and pretends to be their murderer. Preparing a wedding. The IF is late, the gypsy demands not to let him in, but the king lets him in. The Interfax ridicules the groom, expects execution for insulting the future royal son-in-law. At the gallows, she tells me what he did and where he put the letter, shows the princess's ring. The people rejoice, the army and servants disperse the gypsies. After the wedding, IF goes to his brothers, the king lets him go, but forbids him to take his wife with him, who was not shining in the sun or blowing the wind: she will be kidnapped by the wind. The IF does not listen, the whirlwind takes the princess away. The queen gives three years to find her daughter, otherwise she executes her. The IF wanders, there is a hole in the trunk of the oak tree: "This is where the wedding with Farmudz Mariika came in." The IF comes to a small hut like a box. There, his brother-in-law tells his wife to cook: her brother starves to death. He puts the IF to bed, asks the horse where the IF's wife is. Horse: In the seventieth country, the Filthy King stands for a cook. Pogany also has a horse, his older brother, he is stronger, he will catch up, the poganin king will cut Ivan to pieces. You have to put a bag on the horse so that the horse will then bring the chopped one. The brother-in-law equips the IF on the road, the horse brings him to the realm of Poganin. Ivanova's wife is just on her way to the well with the buckets, singing plaintively. The IF puts her on a horse. At the same moment, Filthy's horse laughs. Poganin grabs an iron pitchfork, rushes into the staff, finds out that the IF stole his cook, but he has time. He snaps his teeth and eats two wagons of nuts, smokes two wagons of tobacco, sleeps for two hours, takes a sword, sits on a horse and starts after him. IF Horse: It burns the fire because the Filthy King is catching up. Let the IF ask Poganin to cut him with a sword, throw him in a bag and put him on his horse. This is what happens. Poganin picks up the cook. The brother-in-law tells his wife to bring a trough from the attic in advance, folds the pieces of the IF body, pours it with healing water, and everything grows together. The brother-in-law has two souls, he blows on his body, releases one of them, the soul enters the IF, and he comes to life. His brother-in-law explains that he won't be able to revive him again. His mother, who is the oldest over half the world, could help, knows a lot, but she can eat it when she sees it. The IF has been going to her for six months. Baba feels it from a distance, roars: she has been living in this place for 10,000 years, but has not seen an earthly person, she has not eaten fresh human beings for 3000 years. The IF calls her a sweet mother, a dear matchmaker, and says that her son sent him. Baba wants to see it but promises to eat it. He takes two iron poles, 10 m each, supports his eyelids, otherwise they cannot hold on. The IF talks about everything, the woman feels sorry for him. He sends him to his husband, but there is little hope that he will regret it, he is even angrier, he is 6 months away. He feeds him with tin dumplings, he does not feel hungry during the journey. My grandfather senses it from an even greater distance, 15,000 years, has not seen a person, he has not eaten human beings for 5,000 years. The Interfax calls him a sweet father, a dear matchmaker, says that he has been pardoned and sent by his wife as the oldest in the world. Grandfather: I ate millions of people, but I have never met such an affectionate and kind person. She wants to watch and then eat it. It supports the eyelids with iron poles 20 m long. He regretted, feeds the IF with steel dumplings. It gives two twigs that grow out of the ground. There is a basement under the house, there are two horses, one must be hit with one twig and the other with another, he gives these horses because he is old, the horses must be obeyed, they will do everything. The IF goes down into the dungeon, sees wooden tremblers on four legs, hits them with a twig - the tremblers turn into a stallion and a mare. The horse is happy, asks you to take him out of the basement, take a wooden ax, cut three thousand fathoms of firewood, and light a fire. A wooden ax cuts trees into ready-made logs. Horses eat fire, eat ashes 100 meters deep, drink all the water, drink the lake three times: now they are invincible. The horse tells you to take diamond clothes out of his left ear, and a saddle with a bridle for a woman from his right ear. The horse asks how to carry it, IF: so that neither he nor the horse is harmed. The horse is happy to have waited for a good king. Pogany's horse is his son. They arrive at the well, the IF dresses his wife in diamond clothes, puts him on a mare, and rises above the sky. The horse in the filthy king's stine laughs. They're flying in pursuit, there's no time to wait. Pogany's horse calls his father and mother, asks him to wait for him, otherwise he will be tortured. They advise you to fly into the sky, throw off the pollution. Poganin is still falling, and if he fell, it would rumble with all the thunder and the earth would crumble. The horse rushes after his parents, flies with them. Light shines all over the sky, people think the whole world is on fire.

[In olonkho, in some cases, the lord of the underworld, Arsan-Duolay, and his wife are depicted as fat elders who, due to obesity, are unable to move on their own, so they are carried in their arms or on stretchers. Sometimes Olonkho says that obesity has brought their eyelids to their eyes and completely closed them. Therefore, the Underground Master can't see anything. If he wants to see something, he asks him to raise his eyelids. Then a few people use stairs to climb their incredibly big belly, then climb his head and, with the help of iron hooks, lift their upper eyelids with great effort ruler: red meat on the inside of the eyelids and cloudy eyes are shown. The ruler cannot keep his eyelids ajar for a long time, when he sees what is needed, he asks to close them.

As a result of his sacred ritual of expelling juniper, both legs have ceased to function knee-deep, and he walks with two silver crutches. Archie was committed against him as punishment for his obstinate character. For his obstinacy, he was moved from the Upper World to the Middle World and cursed by his parents, Kyung Toyong, and mother Kyun Natagaljin. He is destined to live only to be fifty-six years old. When this term expires, he digs his own grave, predicting that both of his wives will give birth to a hero son. The first will be called Elik Bootur, the second - Nygyl Bootur. Then he says goodbye to his wives, goes to the prepared grave, dies. Boys grow up fast, discovering extraordinary age strength. The elder has a calm character, and the younger one is violent and ruthless. Their mothers kick them out of the house with a poker, because when they play, they cause disorder and destruction, especially the younger one. On the first day, they run around all their native places. On the way, the youngest asks what the objects encountered are called, and the elder explains. The elder behaves calmly, and the youngest breaks trees and kills cattle. On the second day of their journey, they are already far from home; they see a bear in the forest. The eldest gets scared, the youngest grabs the bear in an armful, brings him home, scares everyone. His mothers order him to take the bear to the forest right away. He carries it away, throws it into a hole squeezed out by his feet and fills him with a stone. When he gets home, he gets hit with sticks. After a while, the older brother asks the mothers to give them both names. Mothers are given the names their father gave them. The kids are happy. They ask them to provide them with heroic clothes. Mothers also comply with their request. The eldest son chooses clothes for himself, but the youngest is not enough, so he only takes a knife in the pile. Despite the mothers' warning, the brothers go on foot to pick up their intended horses. The road is blocked by an impassable iron thicket. There are a lot of human bones lying around. The older brother gets scared, cries, asks his brother to come home, the younger brother shames him, moves forward. Despite the fact that he is naked, paving the way with his arms and legs, and his older brother follows him. When the thicket passed, there was not a scratch on the younger brother's body, and the older brother, despite his clothes, was all scratched. He is dissatisfied that his brother did not save him. Going further, they see forty bulls killed by their younger brother. Bulls' meat is roasted on horns, and their skin is used by the younger brother to make all the necessary clothes for himself, from a horn hat to shoes. Ten bulls are eaten by the elder brother, and the youngest by thirty. Then an impassable stone rock blocks the road, and on it stands a hero of the Upper World, dressed in silver. At the foot of the mountain and on its slope lie even more bones and corpses of dead heroes. Hero Kyungül Dokhsun, son of Tomoroon Toyona and Habaraan Hotun, as the strongest of the heroes of the Upper World, was appointed by Yuryung Aar Toyon to protect this pass to the Upper World. The elder brother, seeing the bones and corpses, cries again, and the younger brother negotiates with the hero, who orders them to clean up late. Nygyl Bootur does not obey. climbs the mountain. The hero of the Upper World strikes him with a special whip. Nygyl Bootur dodges and, clutching the hero's whip and one hand, pulls him down. So they wait for each other for three days. Finally, Nygyl Booturu manages to grab the hero of the Upper World by the second hand and pull him down. Then the hero of the Upper World declares that he was predicted that he would be defeated by the hero of the Middle World Nygyl Bootur. Having learned that the winner is Nygyl Bootur, the hero of the Upper World invites him to be friends forever. Nygyl Bootur agrees. They kiss three times and break up. Continuing their journey, the brothers approach the Sea of Fire. The elder is crying again. Nygyl Bootur gets on one knee and asks the spirit of the sea to let them pass through. The sea worries for three days, then the flame goes out. Finally, the sea is divided in two, and travelers cross it on a dry bottom. From behind, the voice of Alyp Seoreon-Nuyohei Wot Usuutum, the spirit mistress of the sea, sounds, demanding that she be fed in gratitude. Nygyl Bootur kills the hostess's spirit with a heavy stone thrown into her open mouth. On the way, the brothers see two horses intended for them grazing on the seashore, sit on them, and go home. On the way, they decide to test whose horse is faster. The younger brother's horse is the first to rest his chest against the sacred tree of his native places. When they get home, they sleep for three days. Obeying what he saw in his dream, Elik Bootur goes to look for a bride. It travels for a long time, recognizing summer by rain, winter by snow, spring by slush, autumn by frost. Finally, she comes to Togoruya Baai Toyon and Tolona Baai Hotun. He finds himself on the ysyah, to which the heroes of three worlds have gathered. Heroes are also contenders for the hands of the owners' daughter Syrkyabalaan Kuo. When Elik Bootur comes to the owners and declares his desire to marry their daughter, elderly parents ask the boys and girls who serve them to raise their eyelids. They look at the groom, they are satisfied. My daughter's name. Young people are also happy with each other. Old people announce that they will give their daughter off as a hero who won the competition. Elik Bootur goes to the meeting place, where the heroes of the three worlds stand ready to shoot and look up. In the sky, between the clouds, there is a golden ball on a rope, containing kut and sur Syrkyabalaan Kuo. She was supposed to be the wife of someone who would hit a gold ball with a well-aimed shot. All the heroes miss. Elik Bootur greets the heroes, reproaches them for bad shooting, says that they should go home, but first invites them to watch him shoot. When the gold ball appears from behind the cloud for the second time, Elik Bootur shatters it into four pieces with an arrow. Before he knows it, Abaasa hero Habydal Hara arrives in the form of a dragon, grabs one quarter of the golden ball and disappears. Elik Bootur hides what's left of the balloon in his pocket. After that, the heroes go home. Elik Bootur returns to his hosts. He is received with honors and is put to bed with his daughter for the night. The next morning, the servants report that a strong wind was blowing at night, hail was falling from the sky and covered the whole earth. This is a sign of the arrival of the hero Abaasa. Habydal Hara arrives on the cloud and demands to give Syrkyabalaan Kuo for him. The battle between Elik Bootur and the Abaasa who arrived ends with the victory of the hero Ayya. Elik Bootur decides to finish off the enemy, but it turns out that he is sitting on a log, and the Abaasa hero has disappeared. The next day, he arrives to avenge the defeated hero of Abaasa Kyuluk Syuyodek, who kills Elik Bootur with an enchanted whip, breaking his skull. Elik Bootur's horse throws the owner's body on his back and brings him to his younger brother. He washes his brother's body, covers it with his saliva, and the dead man is resurrected. Nygyl Bootur leaves Elik Bootur at home, goes to avenge his older brother and bring his wife. Kills Kyulyuk Shuyodeka and brings home his brother's wife. She's going to look for a bride for herself. Approaches the pass from the Middle World to the Upper World. There he is met by a witch who has turned into a fairy-tale bird. This is Wot Kukhalyisa, the sister of Abaasa hero Tallan Suoruna. Nygyl Bootur grabs the bird by both legs, steps on one leg and tears the bird in two. She scatters the witch's ashes. Then he has to fight with the brother of the witch he killed, who, by order of Yuryung Aar Toyon, is in shackles in the dungeon for his incredible strength and destruction of all three worlds. Out of revenge through witchcraft, he is freed from his shackles. They fight for nine days and cause great destruction even in the Upper World. The heavenly messengers, three brothers of the hero Kyung Chuollut, stop this fight. They again shackle the Abaasa heroes and lower them into the dungeon, and tie Nygyl Bootur to the top of Mount Ejinge Mangan. When Nygyl Bootur begs for forgiveness three days later, the same ambassadors of the Upper World release him and order Yuryung Aar Toyona to choose one of two things: or fight with his opponent for outside the Upper and Middle Worlds, or arrange your future without fighting him. Nygyl Bootur calls his horse, sits on it, and goes east. He meets Kyryytynay Tykaaray, the younger sister of Aiyy hero Ogo Tuigun. Offers to marry him. Kyrytynay Tykaaray replies that she is destined by the deities to marry only someone who will defeat her and her brother by force. Nygyl Bootur defeats the girl in martial arts, and does not fight with the girl's brother with her consent. Wow Tuigun is happy, he marries Nygyl Bootur and blesses the newlyweds. When a husband and wife drive up to a mountain that rests on the sky with its peak, Abaasa hero Timir Tisiktey catches up with them and demands that Nygyl Bootur give him Kyryytynay Tykaaray. Nygyl Bootur disagrees. Heroes join the battle. The battle lasts nine days. By the end of the ninth day, the heroes are exhausted and, resting on each other with their foreheads, take a break. Kyryytynay Tykaaray laughs at the heroes for their weakness, mocks that they fight like boys, even their clothes are still intact. She removes her husband, fights with the hero of Abaasa herself. They have been fighting for three days. The Abaasa hero weakens and, anticipating his death, asks to save his life, for which he promises to be a loyal servant. But a woman kills him and scatters his ashes. Continuing the journey, the husband and wife drive up to the white Mount Sabydal, which rests on the sky. There is a battle with the hero of the Abaasa of the Southern Sky, who demands that Nygyl Bootur give him his wife. The hero Abaasa is attacked by her husband and wife together. The battle lasts nine days. Nygyl Bootur and Kiriytynay Tykaaray kill the enemy, burn the corpse, and scatter the ashes over the sea. On a stretch of 90 roads, at the crossroads of 80 passes and 70 countries, they find themselves at the fabulously wide Kieng Chiski-Ytym River. Aan Duuray, an 8-headed abaasa hero, arrives from the west on a bull harnessed into an iron sleigh. He is an avenger for the murdered Abaasa heroes. Husband and wife immediately turn to birds: the wife to the fairy bird Koi Kyyl, and the husband to the falcon. They throw themselves from above at the enemy, taking off all 8 goals. The corpse and his bull are buried in the ground, and they move on. They come to their native country and see that Elik Bootur has equipped a residential building for them with all the services and necessary items. They are greeted with honors by two mothers and brother and wife. On the occasion of the arrival of Nygyl Bootur and Kiriytynay Tykaaray, a large ysyah was arranged with food and games. This is how they still live in full contentment]: Yemelyanov 1980, No. 34 (olonkho "Elik Bootur and Nygyl Bootur"): 139-144; Central Yakuts (Taragay Nasleg of Megino-Kangalassky District) [ Siberian land is formed, on all sides of the sea and mountains, rivers, lakes, forests with fish, birds and animals in Siberia Land. In the middle is the sacred Aal Luuk Mae tree, which has 8 branches. Aal Luuk Mae ejects yellow ilte, which is the life-giving moisture for animals, birds and inhabitants of this land. The sacred tree plans to reach its top land of the Upper Abaas and destroy them, but abandons this sinful idea and grows into the land of the horse deity Joshogyop Ieyehsita, turning there for the best horse riding. Jyoshogyoy Toyon does not offend the sacred tree against the abaasa. With its lower roots, the tree wants to grow to the lower abaas and destroy them, but also abandons this sinful idea and grows into the tract of cattle deities, the host spirits of the Middle World, becoming hanger for white milk products. The spirits that own the land do not offend the sacred tree to the lower abaas. The sacred tree is surrounded by a fertile valley with a crystal house. Its owner is a lonely hero Dyyray Byögyo (DB), the son of a Horse. One morning, when DB goes out into the yard, the wind blows, and a black cloud appears that looks like a bear's skin. It splits above DB's head, and an exhausted, almost naked man falls out, calls himself, asks to hide from the persecution of Abaasa. This is Ayyi hero Erbehtey Bergen (EB), who lives in a country so far away that birds fly there, laying eggs three times along the way. He has been persecuted by Sollong Tuigun abaas for 9 years. Until now, he has run away from it, turning into a hundred species of fish in the Lower World, a hundred species of four-legged fish in the Middle World, and a hundred species of winged fish in the Upper World. DB doesn't know what to do with a person. To hide is not to find peace, to allow the Abaasa to kill the hero of Ayya is an honor to lose. He stomps his foot on the frozen ground, makes a hole, hides his EB there. He puts on armor and waits for an abaasa. A whirlwind came from the south and it became dark. A three-headed bird arrives with three eyes and claws like a walk, flies around the DB country three times, sits on a sacred tree, and demands that electronic devices be issued. After shedding his skin, he turns into an iron hero abaasa with one leg, one hand, and one eye. DB is frightened, but does not show fear and replies that he will not betray a person and is ready to fight. They fight for a month, at the end of the second DB, the Abaas wins. The heart and liver are sacrificed to the goddess of war Yrya Biebeideen, the daughter of the Cloud, and scatters the ashes over the sea. Three crows fly out of the ashes that floated on the waves. They shout that in the future they will harm DB, they soar into the sky. DB bathes after washing himself from the evil spirits of the Abaasa. He goes to that place, pulls the EB out of the hole. They live in peace and friendship and sleep in the same bed. DB wakes up one night singing EB. He sings that DB is illegitimate, that he has only one mother and 50 fathers, that his homeland is much worse than the homeland of EB, that he, EB, came here well done, and at work for DB he lost weight and I fainted that it was time to go home, and if DB followed him, he would kill him. He's leaving. DB decides to follow him and asks Joshogy Toyon to specify the horse intended for him. A fresh wind is blowing, and a saddled horse descends from the sky. The hero passes through his land, another one is visible. He remembers that he did not say goodbye to his native places. He turns his face towards the house, blesses the arrow to stick the point into the main horse riding, and shoots. He appeals to the spirits who are the owners of the hearth and native land. He sends the horse to the south. The land of Ayia is coming to an end. He passes through a country inhabited by shamans and shamans, a country inhabited by dead sorcerers whose ashes were not accepted by the holy land, reaches a country blazing with fire. It's a fire burning, whole bears, deer and moose are roasting around in horns. DB jumps off the horse, turns it into a tree and kicks it aside. Eat better pieces, sleeps. He sees an almost naked man with a huge head and a huge belly. The ragged man says that his name is Ukumal, the son of the Beggar, reproaches the alien: such a hero took away from the poor beggar food sent to him by the spirit master of the taiga; he will tell eight about this shameful act countries, seven uluses. I'm ashamed, he wants to catch the ragged man, he runs away. DB is going further south. The horse got up. He says that he comes from the best stallion and best mare, Yuryung Aiyi Toyona, and was born to become a DB horse. And DB himself was born to Yuryung Aiyi Toyon, the youngest of three daughters, and his father is Khaardiyr Mokhsogol, the hero of the sky. When DB was in his mother's womb, his grandfather Yuryung Aiyi Toyop arranged a ysyah in honor of the deity of horses and cattle, and when he was presented with a yellow ilge choroon in the womb the boy kicked the goblet with his foot: the yellow ilge splashed by one quarter - many calves, foals and newborns died this year. We thought, if this boy is still so naughty in his mother's womb, what's next? Shamans caused the mother to give birth prematurely and settled the premature baby in the Middle World to become the ancestor of humans. DB is happy to listen: their fate is patronized by celestials. It's going further south. In one country, he is greeted with wine and food by three beauties. As soon as the horse sees them, it releases golden wings, flies between the clouds, says Dyyray Bøge that this is the witchcraft of a murdered abaasa, from whose ashes three crows flew: they turned into women and now they lure the owner into the abyss. The horse also overcomes the second obstacle - the Sea of Fire. He calls for help from his brother, a horse named Aiyi Dutuy, and his owner Kyun Tuygun. With their help, the Sea of Fire flies over. When they fly, a stone ball falls on top of them - it almost killed them. The sea is starting to cool down and there is no trace of it. It's all raven magic. Kyun Tuigong blesses DB, promises to help him, and flies to the Eastern Sky. DB continues his journey, sees EB, but does not kill, and goes after him to look at his sister Aptala Kuo. They see the sacred Aal Luuk Mae tree and nine horse riders. The DB horse is heading to the first one. At this time, cowgirl Simehsin Emeehsin Emeehsin looks out of the house and tells her owners Hangyryyr Haan Toyon and Kyngyryyr Haan Khotun about the arrival of the heroes. Those who thought their son was dead, EB parents don't believe at first. When they see the heroes, they hurry to receive them honorably. The celebration begins, but EB sits gloomy. The DB thought he was plotting a bad thing. The elderly Hangyryyr Haan Toyon and Kyngyryyr Haan Hotun ask the servants to lift their eyelids that have fallen from old age. A boy and a girl pick up silver hooks and raise the elders' eyelids. The old man and the old woman look at the visitor and share their impressions. The husband compares him to himself when he was young and strong. The wife says that a visitor is much better than her younger husband. DB is offended and tells EB's parents about his ingratitude. Hearing threats from a visitor, Kyngyryyr Haan Hotun asks her husband for advice. Old Hangyryyr Haan Toyon: Let the young people figure it out for themselves. The old woman asks the hero to calm down, gives a drink of koumiss. The hero calms down. The old woman pulls out the pz happahchy, the closet where the girls sleep, a folding golden table, a gold plate, golden forks and spoons, walks around DB three times and begins to put it all in his bosom. Then he takes a puppy from Happahcha. "As a thank you for saving our son, we are giving you a puppy that is dear and close to us. Let DB live happily with the puppy, let them light up an unquenchable hearth, build a house, and put up a golden horse ride." DB: It's like not giving a puppy, but marrying her daughter. The hero goes home. Halfway through, he thinks: "I went to a distant country, suffered a lot and what did you get a puppy in return?!" Decides to throw the puppy away. But the puppy does not lag behind, whines. The hero again puts him in his bosom. He returns to his native places. His wealth did not decrease, but increased. DB releases the horse into the wild, and puts the puppy in happpakhchi. When he wakes up in the morning, the house is cleaned and the food is cooked. Dinner is prepared in the evening. The next morning, DB pretends to hunt, but turns into a fly at the edge, comes back, hides on the ceiling by the beam. A puppy comes out of the happahcha, runs around the house, sniffing the hero's trail, kicks into bed, sheds his skin, turns into a girl. Starts cleaning and cooking. DB turns into himself, wants to hug a girl. She slips out, puts on her skin, turns into a puppy. DB is going hunting. The next day he turns into a fly again, comes back, hides, grabs the girl, manages to throw her skin into the fire. The girl wraps her arms around the pole with her legs and sits like this. The DB house is crystal, rotating around an axis. A handsome man arrives from the east and cannot open the door. He says that his name is Toyon Joburuoptai, a hero, he is the son of Erian Toyona and Ebiriechin Hotun, his country is far away, birds reach it, laying eggs seven times along the way, and runners multiply nine times. Asks me to open the door The girl doesn't pay attention. DB hears a voice and comes back. The hero says that DB took away his name, Aitala Kuo, for which he paid dowry to her brother Erbahtey Bergen. DB: I earned the right to Aitaly Kuo not by paying dowry, but by a heroic feat. The heroes fight and swear that if one dies, the rest will not answer to Yuryung Aiyi Toyon. They shoot with a bow. The first is a visitor, but the DB turns into a triangular prison, the arrow flies by. When Dyyray is shot, the visitor turns into a bird, and the arrow also flies by. For the second time, the opponent's arrow passes below the heart, above the DB liver, hitting an artery. DB aims upwards, an arrow hits Toyon Joburwantai's heart and liver. DB has a hard time entering his house, lying down, falling asleep in a dead sleep. His horse takes the form of a hawk, flies into the sky, tells the heavenly messenger about the death of his owner, and asks Yuryung Ayyi Toyon and Jilga Haan to tell about it. Yuryung Ayyy Toyon orders to call three heavenly scribes, the younger heavenly shaman Aiyi Jargyl and three execution heroes. Three heavenly scribes establish: Yuryung Aiyi Toyon had three daughters; the youngest Egiliene Kuo was married by the heavenly hero Khaardiyr Mohsogol. In the ninth month of his daughter's pregnancy, Yuryung Aiyi Toyon celebrated the deity of horses and cattle. The choroon, filled with yellow ilge, was presented to Father Egiliene Kuo. The baby in the womb kicked the goblet, and ilge splashed. Three days later, horses and cattle began to die as a result. The unborn child was convicted of an unworthy act, and fearing that such a mischievous man would not live, his mother was brought to the Middle World. There she was given permission as a premature baby. Egiliene Kuo left her son in a horse pen and returned to her homeland. The boy was found by the spirit mistress of the land, Aiha Michil, gave him the name DB, the son of the Horse, because she found him in a horse pen. His opponent Toyon Joburuontai hero is the son of Erien Toyona and Ebiri-Echchin Baay Khotun, who come from the deities Iei-iehsit and Aiysyt. Aitaly Kuo, predestined by Odun Haan and Tyiys Haan, should become the wife of DB. Toyon Joburuontai must not die; he must be saved. A younger heavenly shaman is sent to the Middle World, accompanied by three heavenly heroes. The shaman camlates to revive Joburontai the hero, sends him to the Eastern Sky. Aitaly Kuo still sits the same way, with his arms and legs tightly wrapped around the pole. He looks at the wounded hero, regrets it. He gets up, prepares the balm to treat DB. The ceiling opens, a bird of prey grabs Aitala Kuo and flies to the sky. DB's wound heals, gets up, sees traces of a bird of prey, drives north, recognizing autumn by bad weather, winter by snow, summer by heat. He approaches the Sea of Fire, decides to propitiate the spirit of the owner of the sea with a victim of horse hair, but the victim is not accepted. He guesses that these are the intrigues of Har Suorun, known for his greed. He asks him to open his mouth wide. The Sea of Fire is gradually beginning to fade, and something like a wide mouth opens up. Riding a horse, a hole slips through his jaws and reaches Icchi's stomach. Together with the horse, they destroy the inside of the monster and get out of it. After that, the Sea of Fire disappears. The Second Sea of Fire. You can hear the singing of Oblak's daughter Yrya Biebeideen, whom Dyyray once treated with the heart and liver of Abaasa Syung Jaasin, who was killed by him. In gratitude, she says that Timir Nuoracin, the kidnapper of his wife Abaasa, lives across this Sea of Fire, and he will be transported across the sea by the sea carrier Otorulla, a shaman. Dyyray sends the horse home and waits for the carrier. Otorulla shaman scolds the ungrateful Timir Nuorajin, who did not donate anything for the transportation, asks the DB to feed him. DB takes three hairs out of his pocket, talks them to turn them into three bald black bulls, and gives them to the carrier. Old Otorulla rejoices, transports DB across the Sea of Fire, blesses him for exploits. DB goes north, reaches stone mountain, black smoke is coming from the top. He understands that this is the kidnapper's home. He turns into a Yeokseku bird, goes down to Timir Nuoracin's house through a chimney, turns into himself, sees Aitaly Kuo chained to the wall. After consulting with his wife, he turns into a triangular jail, hides behind the stove. When Timir Nuorajeen arrives, Aytali Kuo lulls his incredulity with flattering words. He makes the Abaas repeat the spell after her so that the prison kills him, gives the abaasa prison and tells her to throw him into the sky. When it falls, it kills the abaas and the DB turns into itself. Ayyu people turn into birds and fly to their homeland. The DB country became even more beautiful while he was driving. DB and his wife bow to the sacred tree Aal Luuk Mac. Aitala Kuo propitiated the spirit mistress of the earth with eight horsehair. Then mares are milked, koumiss is cooked, and ysyakh is arranged. Aitaly Kuo turns to feed the spiritual owners of the land, hearth and taiga. DB and Aitaly Kuo become the ancestors of people]: Yemelyanov 1980, No. 3:22-33; central Yakuts (Megyuryonsky nasleg of the Meginsky ulus of the Yakutsk District) [Er Sogotokh (ES) goes to Bogatyrsky campaign at the behest of the supreme deities.
