The younger brother has greeted it and speaks:

— Make favour as you will go through our settlement, tell to my wife such words: "Perhaps will carry to me, you will give birth to the child. Perhaps will carry, and there will be at me a son. Perhaps will carry, and my son will grow. And when the son will grow, send it to me with арбой— a camel at me to a dirt увяз. I will charge with a camel on арбу, I will bring home".

The camel has got a fright: "I Will die from hunger while his son for me on арбе will arrive, and can, and will not arrive at all, if will not be born!" The camel has jumped and has walked forward.

The younger brother to the house has reached and began to exhaust a camel in a shed. The camel of a side has inflated, will not enter in any way.
