Icha promises to cut a patterned spoon for her damn daughters to slurp his fat. A tree amuses a tree outside, calls to look, kills both with a blow in the middle of the forehead, cooks them in a cauldron, hangs pieces on their pins, puts their heads under the cauldron. He cuts off the socks of the damn old man's pims, fills him with ash, lets two forty into the plague. Attaching a hatchet to his belt, he climbs onto the larch. The hell comes, eats her daughters' meat: "Ooh! It's like it smells like meat!" He takes forty votes for talking to her daughters. He finds heads in the cauldron. He finds Icha on larch, cuts it down. A bear comes, asks for help cutting an ax, leaves with it. The devil brings another one. Wolverine comes, also offers to help cut, and also carries away an ax. The hell remembers that in the old fashioned way, when he swallowed the whole city, he also swallowed Teslo. He regurgitates him. A fox comes, offers help, takes away the Teslo. The hell's trying to vomit again. Icha shouts: "Grandpa! When you vomit your insides, what are you breaking again? You lie down on your back (dosl. "fall down"), your mouth, your eyes, your nostrils, your anus - crucify everything in two with chopsticks." That's what the hell does.
