Having taught the arctic fox a lesson, Tyartekan left the tent. I went to the tundra. I met the cannibal.
- Hey! - said the cannibal. - Milk, milk, milk, milk. Fine! I will eat the warm liver. “Wait for now,” said Tyartekan, “I’ll go see something.”
Tyartekan stuck a tree bark between the skins of the doha. He returned to the cannibal and said:
- Well, kill me! The ogre took it - everything creaks.
“Oh, skinny one,” said the cannibal, “the bones are creaking.” He put Tyartekan in a bag. I came home. He told his children:
- I caught the one called Tyartekan. I'll go hunting again. Cook it. The ogre left. Tyartekan said:
- Guys, get me out of the bag. The guys pulled him out.
“I,” said Tyartekan, “will make you toys, make a small bow.” Give me a good, sharp knife.
Dali. Tyartekan made a good bow. Shot. Hit the target. “Hey, kids,” said Tyartekan, “sit further away next to me.”
The guys sat down. Then he cut off the heads of the cannibal's children with a knife. He covered their heads with a blanket, put the rest in the cauldron and cooked it. Then he began to dig a passage out of the dwelling. When he finished digging, the house began to tremble. The ogre has arrived.
The ogre came in and said:
- Hey, guys!
They are sleeping. It turns out they were full.
Looked into the cauldron:
- Okay! I will drink fat. I will eat fatty meat. He started eating and said:
- Eh, why does my heart hurt? Kids, get up!..
They don't hear. They sleep soundly, having eaten.
After eating, I was full. Then I opened the blanket, and there were only heads lying there. The cannibal got scared.
Then Tyartekan shouted from outside: Hey! The cannibal ran out into the street. Tyartekan ran into the house and shouted from inside:
- Hey! The cannibal ran into the house. Tyartekan ran out and shouted from outside. The ogre ran out, and Tyartekan screamed from inside again. Tyartekan ran back and forth until the cannibal's strength ran out.
Then Tyartekan said:
- Old man, come in here.
The cannibal entered the dug passage. Tyartekan hit him with a spear and killed him.
Tyartekan got married. Had children. He lived a long life.
He lived on the shores of the Arctic Ocean.
