Opening his closed mouth
                                                Began to tell them about his life:


                                                        Eles Bootur

                                                “Djie-Buo! Djie-Buo!
                                                I haven’t got a wife either
                                                I haven’t got a close friend either
                                                My bed is cold, my pillow is hard
                                                My blanket is thin without a wife.
                                                As soon as I saw you
                                                I’m touched to my heart
                                                You appealed to me very much.
                                                Do you mind sharing with me
                                                Our sorrow and happiness,
                                                Living together to give birth to a child ?”
                                                Having heard the desired words
                                                The girl blushed and smiled.
                                                Falling into each other’s arms
                                                They began to kiss passionately
                                                Rolling on their sable and fox bedding,
                                                They gave themselves up to passions,
                                                They fell asleep only in the morning.
                                                In the small hours of the morning

                                                Waking up came out of the yurta.

                                                Being in a dark thought
                                                Not knowing what to do
                                                Was wailing like a dog.
