It happened at the beginning, at the beginning, mountain pigeons came to one house and found a woman sitting outside; they entered and scattered ashes in her house. She began to cry. She was a wife, but she did not give birth. “She said: they came to laugh at me, they see that I don’t have a child to scatter ashes.” — Six doves appeared; said one: “vukutu.” — Another asked: why do you say “vukutu”? — The first one repeated: “vukutu.” “Another asked: why do you say svukutu?” They did it in front of that woman. “Then the first one said: take the horn, move.” Again the other said: “Vukutu.” The first one said: take the horn, move, take a blood clot, put it in a pot, smear it and set it aside

for eight months. When nine months have passed, he said, open it in nine months.

And she opened, she found the child; the child had a blood clot inside the pot. “The mountain pigeon said: take him out now, put him in a bag, give him food.” “Another dove came and said: wrap him in his blanket, put him in the depths of the house; hide it so that other women don’t know about it, give it a lot so that it grows up immediately. And he immediately grew up.

In the evening her husband came. The wife lit a big fire. The husband did not know about this child, the child of only a blood clot. And the woman took the child from the depths of the house; she went out with him, sat down, and laid him before him; She took the child's food, placed it in front of him and said: Eat, child, here is your food. “Her husband was surprised, he spoke and said: where did you get this child from?” whose child is this? “The woman said: it’s mine, my blood clot, the mountain pigeons, who told me wise things: they said, they told me to cut myself, to do . tenderloin, take me a blood clot and put it in a pot so that it becomes a baby.

Then the husband rejoiced, thanked her and said: I am glad, I am glad today. You have your child. Very good. That's right what he said then. This is how the child grew from a blood clot.
