Kukki went to get firewood. He goes home and suddenly wants to poop. He pooped, walked on and suddenly heard someone shouting angrily:
- Why are you leaving your child? Wait!
Kukki returned and saw: a woman was formed from feces. He dragged her home.
- Mitya! - he shouts to his wife. - I brought a friend, meet me!
-Where did you get married?
— There, in the tundra, I found a woman.
And the woman suddenly says:
“Where Kukki pooped, there was a yaranga.” He mistook it for a garbage dump. Dig with a shovel, here you will find stands for the yaranga.
And sure enough, they found the stands for the yaranga and found the tire. Yaranga was installed. Good yaranga. Mitya went home. Cukki stayed with his new wife. He married a woman from the feces. We fell asleep.
The next day, the yaranga suddenly broke, and Kukki was covered in feces. There is no yaranga, it’s broken. Kukki shouts:
- Mitya, Mitya, where is my friend?
- It’s not there, it’s feces. She deceived you.
- Oh-oh! It turns out that the feces deceived me. I'll go home.
Mitya washed him. Kukki got angry and threw away all the food. There was nothing left to eat. They are starving. Kukki went into the forest to get some bark.
- Go for bark more often, the children are hungry. We’ll feed him bark,” Mitya tells him.
He goes into the forest to get some Kukki bark. Mitya mixes it with caviar and feeds it to the children, and gives Kukki a little.
“Throw away the food, eat an old shoe sole,” Mitya tells him.
Every day Kukki goes for bark. Coming back. Mitya feeds the children, but only gives him old soles to chew.
I once saw Kukki a pool. Pink salmon peeks out from there.
- Come in! - the pink salmon invites him. - Oh, you've lost weight!
“I threw away all the food, we are starving.”
- Yes, you are very thin!
Kukki married a pink salmon.
“Go and take the fish home,” the pink salmon tells him. Kukki took the fish home.
- Here, Mitya, I brought a load of food. He brought a lot of fish.
- Where did you get it?
— He took a pink salmon woman as his wife.
- And will you always live with her? Maybe you can bring it?
- Next time I’ll bring it.
- Bring me now, bring me quickly.
Kukki went to his pink salmon wife and said:
- Wife's friend. Meethi says I should bring you.
“Well, I’ll go,” the pink salmon woman agreed and loaded Kukki with boiled fish.
Kukki took the pink salmon to his place.
- Here, meet your friend, Mitya!
- ABOUT! I already brought a friend!
- Yes, I did.
- Well, still go to the forest for firewood and bark.
Kukki went into the forest.
Mitya cut the fish and cooked it for the hungry children. They ate it, the soul and body went home. - Oh, he's here! - meets Miti Kukki.
- Yes, I came, going for firewood. Where is the girlfriend?
- She's not here.
- Where is she?
- She probably went home.
The next day Kukki went to his pink salmon wife. Saw her again.
“Mitya cut me up and cooked me.” “Don’t take me away anymore,” asks the pink salmon Kukki.
Pink salmon has lost weight since they began to cook it, but at the beginning it was fatty. However, Kukki took it away again, and when he went into the forest, Mitya cooked it again. Returned from the Kukki forest.
- Mitya, take the burden with the bark. Where is the girlfriend? - She's not here. She probably went home again.
- Why is she leaving all the time?
Kukki went to her.
- Where are you?! - he shouts.
“I’ll stop coming to you, they won’t eat all the fish.”
- Okay, better be home.
And the pink salmon began to live in the pool again.
