The son got married, his son was born, and he died. The grandfather and grandson are left. My grandson became 7-8 years old and his grandfather sent him to school. The grandson studied and studied and began to teach the principal. The director says to his grandfather that his grandson goes to Jewish women at night. The director let merchant sons who studied at the same school take on his grandson. They surrounded him, and he was in them with clods of earth, and whoever he falls into is in the spirit. My grandfather decided to send his grandson to the immortal king. I wrote him a letter and sealed it. The grandson needs a mace with him. They make one out of 100 pounds of iron for him. He is so small, says his grandson. My grandfather threw another 100 pounds of iron - they made a mace of two hundred pounds. The boy threw it, drank tea, the mace flew back and split against his knee. Another 50 pounds are added - the grandson throws a mace, which comes back and only bends against his knee. The grandson thanks his grandfather, takes the letter, the mace and leaves. Comes to the sea. It hits the sea with a mace, passes through it. He appears to the immortal king. The king prints out a letter and it says to kill his grandson. The king feels sorry for the boy. He writes a letter to his grandfather. And at the very walls, caps hang 500 pounds each. He gives his grandson such a hat - "a hotel to his grandfather", thinks that his grandson will not carry such a burden. And the grandson puts it on his head, takes the letter and goes back. The sea hits again, and it's dry where it hits. He comes to his grandfather − "Grandpa, the immortal king sent you a gift!" − puts a hat on his grandfather's head, he is crushed and dies. The grandson was afraid that his grandfather had ruined, took a mace and went home. He goes, meets a man with white peas in his box. "Pea, throw peas - let's go around the world." He throws that peas, they go together. They come to the pond. They meet Barbel there. They're trying to persuade him to abandon his pond. He quits, the three of us go. They're coming to town. There is no one there - everyone was eaten by the immortal king. They see that the bathhouse is being heated. We were ready to see who would wash in that bathhouse. Three swallows are arriving. They took off their dresses, turned into girls and went to the bathhouse. The grandson asks Gorokhovik to lock the doors in the bathhouse. The older sister in the bathhouse tells the younger sister to open the door. The youngest kicks the door with her knee, Gorokhovik flies 15 miles away. Three sisters turn to swallows again and fly away. The next day Gorokhovik returns with the door, installs it back and returns to his comrades. The same story repeats itself: the bathhouse is drowned, the girl swallows arrive, the Barbel supports the door, the middle sister hits her with a knee, the Barbel flies off 5 miles away, returns. On the third day, Knight Davidonovich (grandson) supports the doors. Her older sister hits her with her knee, but the door only flies up, opening the entrance to the bathhouse. And we caught girls there. Everyone got his equal: Gorokhovik was the youngest, the Barbel was middle, and Knight Davidonovich was the eldest. And the eldest wanted to take the Filthy Serpent ("sweet smok") away. The next morning, he summons the Filthy Serpent "to fire". Lots of people are coming. The younger sister advises Gorokhovik to collect stones with which he will beat everyone, but the Snake tells him not to touch, or the Pea will disappear. That's what he did. After beating them all, he met the Serpent, they bowed in front of each other and parted. The next day, the same thing happens with Barbel (he defeats everyone not with stones, but with a mustache). On the third day, it's the same with Knight Davidonovich (he has a mace), but he does not heed his wife's advice and fights with the Serpent. He hits him three times with a mace, the Serpent is alive, and even jumps to Lixander Vidonovich, hits him on the forehead, and he falls asleep. The serpent grabs his wife and flies away. And his friends stay in town with their wives. Lixander Davidonovich has been lying in that place for a year with his mace. One grandmother felt sorry for him for two hundred years, turned over him, and he got up. She said that his wife, the Filthy Serpent, was dragged across the seas, and told him to buy two greyhound dogs and two drakes at the bazaar and go overseas. That's what he did. He comes to the sea, hits it with a mace, goes to the other side. He meets a shepherd, asks where to look for the Serpent. The shepherd points him to the palace and says that the Serpent leaves home every other day. The next morning, Lixander Davidonovich comes to the palace, the Serpent is not there, he meets his wife. She feeds him, gives him water, hides him in a chest, and he tells her to find out where the Snake's soul is. The Serpent arrives: "I feel it smells like the Russian spirit!" His wife convinces him that it was him who was flying around the world, grabbing, imagining him. Sit down at the table and she asks him where his soul is. The serpent laughs, says it's in a broom. The next day he leaves, and she decorated that broom with flowers and put it on his bed. He comes back, senses the Russian spirit, his wife dissuades him, he sees a broom on his bed, laughs at the "idiot woman" - how is it possible to have a soul in a broom! She's crying, she wants to know the truth. He points to her a white goat - his soul is supposedly in him. The next morning the Serpent flies away, the wife dresses the goat in gold and ties it to the table. The serpent comes back, throws the goat away. He sees that his wife "deeply feels sorry for him." At night, she asks him again, and he finally talks about a white stone in the middle of the sea, a duck in a stone, an egg in a duck, and a candle in that egg. If you blow out a candle, get the spirit out of it! The next morning, the Serpent flies away again, and Lixander Davidonovich crawls out of the chest. He goes to the sea and sees a white stone. He goes to him, clearing the sea with a mace. He reached the stone, hit it with a mace three times, and a duck flew out. He put a drake on her, they threw it on the water. The greyhounds swam, caught a duck and brought it to him. He tore up the duck and took out an egg. He comes to the palace. The Filthy Serpent has already fallen ill. But he had a whip of three cowhides. When he sees Lixandr Davidonovich, wants to hit him with a whip, and he pulls out an egg and hits it - the egg crumbles, and then the Snake has a spirit out.

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 the 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 roast 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. DB himself was born to Yuryung Aiyi Toyon, the youngest of three daughters, and his father is Khaardiyr Mokhsogol, the hero of heaven. 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 ungrateful Timir Nuorajin, who did not donate anything for the transportation, asks 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.
