The bride asks to sew a wedding dress without measure - Ivan performs the task in the same way, the king gives the soldier the rank of general. The bride refuses to marry unless a silver bridge with crystal railings, a pond and birds is built. Ivan also performs this (Yarmoshka calls 12 Yermoshek brothers, they are coping with the construction together). The king invites the soldier and his wife to move to live in the palace.

The nine sons of the Western Hut build half a cast-iron bridge during the day; at night, a wave of strong winds rises and breaks what has been built; this happens every day. Esege-Malan is soon building the Bejin-Sughlan Palace, but he just can't cover one part of the roof on the northwest side: as soon as he covers it, he will call a man and ask him, "Is it ready?" The invited person will answer: "It's not ready!" or "Not so covered!" Then this part of the roof collapses, and Esege-Malan executes that man by cutting off his head. After that, Esege-Malan begins to cover the roof again. No matter how much he calls people, everyone finds the roof either uncovered or covered in the wrong way, and Esege-Malan executes everyone, one by one. This is how he executed many people, but he still cannot cover the roof, and cannot defeat the nine sons of Western Hut. Finally, it is the turn of one young man who has an elderly father to go to Esege-Malan; the latter should have been performed by now, but his son, feeling sorry for the old man, hides him in a drawer in for several years. The son comes to his father and says, "Today it's my turn to speak to Esege-Malan. I'm sure I'll be executed like the others. Don't cry for me! This is just what will happen to you without me! Would you give me some advice on what to do in the present case and what to say?" Then the old man said to his son: "Say 'done! ' , even though it wasn't ready and not covered as it should be. If you say "not ready", you'll probably be executed like everyone else. If you say "ready", I don't know if he'll execute or not. If he executes, then he is "not ready", you say, executes; then you still say one way or that, but to be executed. Try saying "done!" The young man goes to Esege-Malan. When he comes, Esege-Malan asks him, "Is it ready?" The young man, on his father's advice, replies: "Done!" Then, in some mysterious way, the uncovered part of the roof suddenly opens properly. Surprised, Esege-Malan asks the young man, "Who taught you to speak this way?" The young man admits that for several years, not wanting to perform the ceremony on his father, he hid it in a drawer; that before going to Esege-Malan, he let his father out of the box and asked him what he should do, and what the elderly father then advised him to say "Done!" Esege-Malan then orders old people and old women not to be performed the uhe Ungulhe rite anymore, as they instruct young people with kind and useful advice. Since then, the custom of killing old people and old women has ceased, and they begin to live out their lives peacefully and peacefully at the behest of Esege-Malan. After that, Esege-Malan wins the bet, as nine sons of Western Hut do not have time to build a bridge across the ocean. According to the condition, Esege-Malan must rise to heaven and become a heavenly inhabitant (hare), and nine sons of Western Hut, who used to be constantly in heaven, must descend from heaven to earth. They are made kings of nine different places, powerful hayans and patrons of the Buryats, and Esege-Malan becomes a powerful Tengari (Esege-Malan-Tengari)]: 30-31.
