He throws the last one, and she comes back quickly, he almost drops it when he catches it. At the crossroads, the fellows turn right, throw a tent at the Iron Bridge and agree to watch one by one.

It invites Ivan to blow into the open field, but he gives way to Idolishch, it blows, and all living things burn three miles in the field. While she admires her work, Ivan cuts off her heads. In the morning, Ivan Tsarevich and Ivan Devi say that they did not sleep at night and did not see anyone.

The cook cooks perch, throws scales and giblets (awls and vantrobes) under the table, the female eats them and becomes pregnant. The cook tries a piece without the hostess noticing, and also becomes pregnant. The queen eats fish and becomes pregnant. After 3 years, the first female gives birth to a son, he is called Taraturok. Then an old cook gives birth to her son Ivan. Then the queen was Vasily Vasilyevich. After 2 weeks they start walking, T. is the strongest. When their sons are one month old, they ask their father to forge clubs for them. T. asks for a mace of 12 pounds, a cook's son at 8, and Tsaritsyn for 6 pounds. The king gives them maces, and sons go to the field and throw maces into the sky. Each crumbles, hitting T.'s forehead, the knees of the cook's and queen's son. Then the sons ask their father for a mace of 24, 12 and 10 pounds. With these clubs, they set off and come to the land of Yuda-Antiyuda, the lawless head. They have food and drink, but they don't have people. Lots are drawn to who should be in charge: the youngest is Ivan Kukharkin, the middle is Vasily Vasilyevich, the eldest is T. On the first night, Ivan guards at the viburnum bridge, gets scared, runs away and falls asleep. T. goes to the bridge, meets Yudu-Antiyuda with 9 heads. Strength is measured: Yuda orders to make a current of 50 versts, T. does 65 versts, Yuda only 60 versts. They fight, T. wins.

They fight, T. cuts down five heads, asks for a break, throws his boot at the house where the brothers fell asleep, the brothers do not wake up. They fight on, T. cuts down three heads, asks for a break, throws his boot at the house where the brothers fell asleep, the brothers wake up and run to help. Yudu wins. Yuda turns to her sisters, father and mother before her death, and her mother responds. T.'s brothers go to bed, and he overhears how Yuda's sisters and mother want to kill them (turn into a bed, a stream with a scoop, an apple tree with apples and a pig to eat them). The brothers are going home. They want to sleep, they see the bed, T. hits the bed, all that's left is a pool of blood. They go on, they are thirsty, they see a stream, T. hits him, all that remains is a pool of blood. They go on, they want to eat, they see an apple tree, T. hits it, all that remains is a pool of blood. They resort to Volovnik, give him money, and he promises not to give it to the pig. They resort to the groom, give him money, and he promises not to give it to the pig. They resort to blacksmith Solomon, give him money, and he promises to defeat the pig. The pig spills through the gate, and the blacksmith and his 12 students grab it with tongs and forge it into a horse. T. gives them money for a horse, sends their brothers home to their father and goes to the forest. On a pine tree sits a grandfather with a fingernail, a beard from an elbow, Father Yud, shoots T. with a tar whistle gun, interrupts the mare in half. T. kills him. He goes on, meets heroes (Korob-Korobanovich, Syavbit, Gorovik, Glutton and Moroz) who join him. They come to the tent where Elephant Ivanovich sits with his head severed off, asks T. to fix his head and return his wife Symiikhlida Mikhailovna from Vyriyon Antienovich, gives him his horse, sword and spear -Good, tells us what needs to be done.
