Popadya does not immediately recognize her husband, she is happy. PP is large, eats a lot, it is difficult for parents to feed it, they send it to the forest to herd cows. PP catches a bear who wants to pick up a cow, brings him to the village and locks him in the barn. The maid comes in when the bear eats the last cow. Pop sends PP to the king for tribute, he rides a bear, meets an enchanted man. To break free from the spell, he must "bring the mountains to one place." PP helps him, they go together. It's the same with having to uproot an oak tree. The three of them and the bear come to the king, the PP demands tribute, the king pays to leave as soon as possible. PP gave one bag of gold to his ass, and left with the other four. The three of us stayed in a hut, catching bulls.

He cuts bulls, makes belts, and his comrades pull him down. PP enters a copper, silver and gold tower, meets three girls, reports that the old man who stole them is dead. The girls are happy and ask to take them with them. It's a pity for PP to leave the tower. Everyone throws the ring from her hand onto the roof, the tower turns into rings, they are given to PP. Satellites lift the girls, but the PP is too heavy, the companions cut off their belts, the PP falls, goes waist-deep into the ground. He is hired by a blind old man to herd cows. He shows the border of the Baba Yaga glade and forbids herding cows there. The PP complies with the ban three times, and the fourth time she drives cows to Baba Yaga's land, she is angry, he promises not to bring cattle to her anymore. The cows are full and roaring.

The old crow asks to let his son go, Bulat asks him if he knows where the living and dead water is. The old crow says Bulat should tie him two bottles under his wings: for dead water under his right wing, for living water under his left wing. Dead and alive water outside twelve gates. A raven arrives at a dead water jar, and the guards want to catch it. The raven is collecting dead water. Then he also collects living water and returns to Bulat.

Ivan takes the princess, puts her on a horse, and they leave. They go, night falls. Bulat is in custody. Birds fly by, singing a song that Ivan's stepmother is preparing poison for him: whoever eats it will disappear, and his wife will herd pigs. And whoever tells us will be made of stone. Bulat will be Ivan and the princess, he feeds him, they will go on. Night is falling. Bulat wants to stop, Ivan refuses, Bulat again says he should spend the night, Ivan refuses. The princess urges Ivan to listen to Bulat. They spend the night. Damask puts them to bed and stands in custody. Birds fly by, singing a song that Ivan's stepmother is preparing him a fur coat with a gold and silver star, with creeping and flying reptiles. Whoever wears this coat will be lost, and his wife will herd pigs. And whoever tells us will be made of stone. Bulat returns, there will be Ivan and the princess, he will feed him and go on. They come to Ivan's house. Mother meets Ivan and wants to wear a fur coat. Bulat wears a fur coat instead of Ivan. Kills bastards who were wearing a fur coat. Servants bring food to Ivan. Damask takes food from the servants and drops it on the floor. Bulat wants to sleep in Ivan's room. Ivan resists, Kirbitovna urges him to listen to Bulat. At night, the mother sends three idols to tear Ivan's head off and steal Kirbitovna. Damask rips three idols off their heads. He wants to remove blood from the floor, Ivan wakes up thinking Bulat wants to kill them. Ivan orders Bulat to be shackled and killed. Bulat asks for a prayer, and he talks about the birds that warned him about Ivan's mother. Bulat is stony. A year later, Ivan and Kirbitovna had a son. Ivan has a dream: Bulat asks him to take out his son's heart, anoint himself with it, then Bulat will come to life and his son will be alive. Ivan sends Kirbitovna to the church, and he tells him to cut off his son's head, cut his chest, take out his heart and anoint Bulat with it. Damask comes to life.
