When the fish appeared in the spring, the old man decided to send deer to the mountains. The old man says to his old woman:
- Old woman, will you fish if I go with the deer?
The wife says:
- I can't fish. I am weak, I cannot fish.
While the old man was thinking, the fox came. The fox asks: - Grandfather, what are you thinking?
- Chanterelle, I'm thinking of sending my deer to the mountains.
The fox says:
- Grandfather, you teach me to graze, then I will take your deer to the mountains.
The old man says:
- You take the deer up the Eche river. You will bring me back in the fall. In the summer, kill our calves for meat, eat them.
Fox says:
- Grandfather, don't worry. Why do I have calves? I will live in evrazhki.
Waving its tail, the fox left, saying, "Goodbye." The old man and the old woman stayed.
When autumn came, the fox came. The old man was delighted, asks:
- Chanterelle, well, how are you grazing? Fox says:
- Good grazing, our fat steel reindeer. The old man was delighted, ran to the deer,
close to them, he whistled. All the deer are lying. He whistled again, still lying. Not a single deer moves. Coming close to one deer, he whistled again. He kicked one deer. His deer rolled head over heels like a hairy ball, turned over. Dragged the deer. It turns out that it is full of moss. I examined all the deer: all the deer are stuffed with moss.
The old man ran home. Coming close to the house, he shouted:
- Old woman, hold the fox by the tail! The old woman says to the fox:
- Chanterelle, what is grandfather shouting? Fox says:
- Old woman, feed the fox milk for making our deer fat.
The old man shouts again:
- Old woman, hold the fox by the tail, the fox has killed all our deer!
The old woman heard. I caught the fox by the root of the tail.
Fox says:
- Grandma, don't hold it like that, otherwise the sun will hide.
The old woman took her hand away, holding the end of her tail. The fox jerked forward violently. The old woman tore off the end of her tail and released the fox.
The old man came:
- Old woman, where is the fox?
- No fox, ran away.
The old man and the old woman began to argue. Left without food.
Then the old man says to his wife:
- Old woman, let's go to the fishing place.
They went. Suddenly - a fox came towards them.
- Grandpa, where are you going?
- Get out! Don't lie, you killed all my deer.
- Grandpa, you were wrong, it was a red fox, and I am a black fox.
To prevent the old man from recognizing her, the fox went to the smoke and stained her fur. The old man believed. The fox began to help him again.
- Grandpa, I know a fishy place, let's go there. The fox drags a sled on a belt. The old man with the old woman behind the sled are walking.
Suddenly the fox screamed:
- Oh oh oh! The old man says:
- Chanterelle, what's wrong with you?
- Grandpa, I broke my leg.
The old man put the fox on his sled. The fox lay down.
We arrived at one big river. The old man asks:

- This river is called "Initial".
Just at this time, the fox began to steal the fat that the old men carried on the sled.
Let's move on. They came to another river again. The old man asks again:
- What is the name of this river? Fox says:
- This river is called "Half".
She had already eaten half of the fat at this time. We went on again. They came to another river again.
The old man asks:
- Chanterelle, what is the name of this river? Fox says:
- This river is called "End". She finished eating fat.
The old man glanced at the sled. The fox, it turns out, is not. We examined the sled - nothing, all their fat was finished off by the fox. r
This is the end.

Grandfather caught a full load of fish. He goes home and sees: the chanterelle is curled up, lying on the road.

The grandfather climbed down from the cart, approached, but the chanterelle does not stir, lies as if dead. - Here is a glorious find! My old woman will have a collar for a fur coat.

I threw out all the fish and slowly left. Grandfather came home and called the woman: - Well, old woman, a noble collar brought you on a fur coat!

A woman came up to the cart: there was no collar or fish on the cart. And she began to scold the old man: - Oh, you old horse-radish, such and such, you still decided to deceive me!

Then the grandfather realized that the chanterelle was not dead. Burned, burned, but what will you do! Meanwhile, the fox gathered all the fish in a pile on the road, sat down and eats. A wolf comes to her: - Hello, gossip, bread and salt ... - I eat - mine, and you stay away. - Give me fish. - Fill it yourself, and eat. - I don’t know how.

- Eka! After all, I caught it. You, kumanek, go to the river, put your tail in the ice-hole, sit and say: "Catch, fish, both small and large, catch, fish, both small and large!" So the fish will grab you by the tail. As you sit longer, you will learn more.

Freeze, freeze, wolf's tail! The wolf sat all night by the ice-hole. His tail froze. In the morning I wanted to get up - it wasn’t there. He thinks: "Eka, how many fish have fallen - and you can't get it out!" At this time a woman goes with buckets for water. I saw a wolf and shouted: - Wolf, wolf! Hit him!

The wolf is back and forth, cannot pull its tail. Baba threw the buckets and let's beat him with the yoke. Beat, beat, the wolf was torn, torn, tore off its tail and took off. "Well, he thinks, I will (*) repay you, godfather!"

And the chanterelle climbed into the hut where this woman lived, ate from the dough dough, smeared her head with dough, ran out onto the road, fell down and lay - groaning. A wolf to meet her:

- So this is how you teach, godfather, to fish! Look, they beat me all over ... The fox says to him:

- Eh, kumanek! You don’t have a tail, but your head is intact, but they broke my head: look - the brain has come out, dragging along forcibly.

“And that's true,” the wolf tells her. - Where do you go, godfather, sit on me, I'll take you.

The fox sat on the wolf's back. He took her. Here the fox rides on a wolf and sings slowly: - The beaten unbeaten is lucky, the beaten unbeaten is lucky! - What are you, godfather, all you say? .. - I, kumanek, speak your pain. And she herself again: - Broken unbeaten lucky, Broken unbeaten lucky!

(*) Already - soon, on the same day.
