I screamed and screamed. I asked the gods to help me and sent curses to
Yairsupo.
The man who raised himself was tormented by my screams. He could
not sleep, walked around the house all night, covered his ears with his
hands. He wanted to put his head somewhere. But where are you going
to get it? Before the dawn, he completely weakened - his spirit, which
guarded peace, health, and reason, fell ill. And so the man got out of the
dwelling and said:
— Owl, don’t get angry anymore. Stop doing that!
I flew to him. And then the man, who raised himself, said:
— I give you permission to take my sister to your house.
Then all resentment disappeared in me. I turned into a man and married
the woman I loved. We lived well, and I took her everywhere with me.
