“Was my young sister right
To dream about it
Who is this impudent rascal
Daring rob me ? I’ll see”
Pulling the bear by its withers,
Holding the elk by its nose,
He went on jumping further.
Impatient sounds of hoof
Reminding you of ice-hole hacking,
Stopped at the door.
Unexpected, unwanted guest
Knocked at the wide door thrice
To shake the huge dwelling
Like a horse drinking cold water.
The frightened girls hid under the bed
Insulted by the owner’s ignoring him
The devil sitting on his ox,
Bending over the flue,
Hardly opening his wide mouth,
Began to sing reminding you of
A wolf howling and
A bear screaming, and
A dog barking.

Let me greet you, personally!
If you want to know
Where I came from,
What World I am from,
I came from the terrible
Low World,
I am notorious three-shadowed,
Reverse Whirlwind
