One of the sisters climbs a tall tree and looks around. He says that blue smoke comes up in the distance like a thread. The second sister doesn't believe it and climbs the spruce tree. He looks one way and says that a blue smoke as thick as a finger rises in the distance. The third sister doesn't believe it and climbs the spruce tree. He says there's a hand-thick blue smoke in the distance. Girls come to the hut. An old woman, a disgusting doll, sits on the stove and breastfeeds the baby, and the baby has a scab on his head. K. asks if the girls are hungry. The girls agree. K. scrapes the scab off the baby's head and treats the girls. The girls turn their eyes away. K. says that if they don't eat, she'll eat them herself. One takes it, she vomits; another takes it, the third one vomits too. The girls want to leave. K. says he'll let them in when they jump over their stupa. She has a large wooden stupa at the door in the corner, and she brings the girls there and tells them to jump over it. Two sisters jump and leave, and the third cannot jump over, remains with K. K. leaves, tells me to pump the child, sing: "Uh! UH! OH! OH! Sleep, fall asleep", don't leave the hut. The girl shakes the baby, cries. The rooster tells me to sit on it, the girl rides the cock, K. catches up, throws a wooden pestle at the rooster, the rooster drops the girl. K. takes the girl back to her hut. Again, the girl shakes the baby and cries. The hare comes - the same thing. A thin horse arrives, covered in mud and manure. The girl is riding it.

A girl goes ashore, shakes a log, K. falls into the water, dies. The girl comes home at night, when all the family is sleeping.

In the morning, the girl's father and boy go to the hay to feed the horses. The boy finds his hair and tells his father he found the strings. Dad lets me take them. The boy brings his hair to the hut, puts it on the table. The hair begins to cause in the plaintive voice of the girl eaten: "Father, mother!
