Man and Snow became brothers. One day a man says to Snow:
- Before you come, warn me.
Winter began to approach. The man did not care about anything, did not stock up on firewood, flour - in a word, did not prepare for winter. He thought, “If my brother wants to come, he will inform me. That’s when I’ll start preparing for winter.”
One night the peasant woke up and was amazed: white snow covered the mountains and gorges, the whole world was covered as if with a carpet. The world was choking under the snow. The man stood up, opened the door and said:
- Where is our agreement, white brother? Snow replied:
- What could I do? When I sat on the top of Mount Mravan, I was visible from all sides. Didn't you see me when I went down and sat on the top of Mount Kursin? Haven't you seen this too?
