Raven Velvymtilyn swallowed the sun. The raven lies there all the time, there is a blizzard all the time, because the raven has swallowed the sun.
“Ememkut,” Klyukenevyt says to his daughter:
- Go to the raven Velvymtilyn, call him here. She went outside and sat on the sled. A woman came out and said to the raven:
- Get up. There they came to you. Raven asks:
- Who? The woman answers:
– Klyukenevyt, daughter of Ememkut. Raven says:
- Well, here’s another one! Mmm!
Doesn't clear up. It's purring all the time. Klyukenevyt came home. Ememkut asks:
-Where is the raven? Klyukenevyt answers:
- He refused me. Says: Here's more! Ememkut says to his daughter Inianavyt:
- You comb your hair well, go to the raven. The beautiful Inianavyt combed her hair, dressed herself up, came to Velvymtilyn, and sat down. A woman came out and said:
- Raven, get up! Stop pretending. They came for you. Raven asks:
- Who? Answers:
- Inianavyt.
Velvymtilyn saw the girl and laughed with joy:
- Ha-ha-ha! Yes, laughing, he spat out the sun. The sky has cleared. The blizzard is over. Raven says to Inianavyt:
- Let's go together to Ememkut.
Let's go together. Inianavyt says to the raven:
- Go ahead.
I took a long sharp stick. A crow pierced with a stick. Let it not swallow the sun! Let it always be clear, let there be no blizzard!
The crow Velvymtilyna hung Inianavyt high on a stick.
