|
|
|
|
|
|
| There was an old man and an old woman. |
| 2 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| They have no daughter, they have no son. |
| 3 |
|
|
|
|
|
| The old man began to chop firewood. |
| 4 |
|
|
|
|
| The old man was chopping firewood. |
| 5 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Suddenly, a bullfinch fell out of a chunk of firewood. |
| 6 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| He took this bullfinch and brought it into the hut to his wife. |
| 7 |
|
|
|
|
|
| The old woman began to feed the bullfinch. |
| 8 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The bullfinch suddenly turned into a human. |
| 9 |
|
|
|
|
|
| A wife must be taken for the bullfinch. |
| 10 |
|
|
|
|
|
| A wife was taken for the bullfinch. |
| 11 |
|
|
|
|
|
| A wedding feast is being held for the bullfinch. |
| 12 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The bullfinch's clothing was put into the oven to burn. |
| 13 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The bullfinch turned red and threw himself through the window. |
| 14 |
|
|
|
|
| The bullfinch went off then. |
| 15 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| His wife began to go looking, to look for her bullfinch husband. |
| 16 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| She went and she went. |
| 17 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| She wandered and wandered, she came to a hut. |
| 18 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| When she went in, an old woman is sitting alone. |
| 19 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Huh, she says, you came on your own, you entered on your own. |
| 20 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| So, she says, give me something to eat, something to drink, then ask. |
| 21 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The old woman gave her something to eat and something to drink, she asks her, where are you off to? |
| 22 |
|
|
|
|
| Where am I off to? |
| 23 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| I'm off to look for a man named Bullfinch. |
| 24 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| She says, haven't you seen him, auntie? Don't you know him? |
| 25 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| No, she says, I haven't see him, I don't know him. |
| 26 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Maybe, she says, your uncle has seen him somewhere. |
| 27 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Your uncle will come in the evening. I'll ask, maybe he has seen him. |
| 28 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| So, in the evening the old man came back, he was carrying an elk under his arm for himself to eat with his wife. |
| 29 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Knife, cut up the elk. |
| 30 |
|
|
|
|
| The knife cut up the elk. |
| 31 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Knife, put the elk into the pot to cook. |
| 32 |
|
|
|
|
| The knife put the elk into the pot to cook. |
| 33 |
|
|
|
|
|
| The elk boiled and got done. |
| 34 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| He and his wife ate and they lay down (to sleep). |
| 35 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| They lay down, the wife speaks, she says, husband, have you not seen, do you not know a man called Bullfinch? |
| 36 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The old man got angry, when he hit the old woman, she fell towards the door. |
| 37 |
|
|
|
|
|
| The old man got up and left. |
| 38 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The woman got up as well and went. |
| 39 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| She went and went, she came to a hut again. |
| 40 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The old woman says to her, you came, you entered, you didn't ask. |
| 41 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Auntie, give something to eat, something to drink, ask then, |
| 42 |
|
|
| she says. |
| 43 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The woman speaks, have you not seen, have you not noticed, she says, a man named Bullfinch? |
| 44 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Her aunt says, no, she says, I know nothing, I have seen nothing. |
| 45 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Later, she says, your uncle will be coming, I'll ask him. |
| 46 |
|
|
|
|
|
| In the evening the old man came. |
| 47 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Again he was carrying an elk under his arm, he threw it onto the floor, he threw the knife. |
| 48 |
|
|
|
|
|
| Cut, knife! |
| 49 |
|
|
|
| The knife cut. |
| 50 |
|
|
|
|
|
| Knife, put it into the pot to cook! |
| 51 |
|
|
|
| The knife put it into the pot to cook. |
| 52 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Their food got done, the old woman ladled it out, she and the old man ate and lay down (to sleep). |
| 53 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The old woman says, husband, have you not noticed, do you not know a man called Bullfinch? |
| 54 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The old man got angry, he struck the old woman, the old woman lay down. |
| 55 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The next morning the old man got up, he went off again to his last wife. |
| 56 |
|
|
|
|
|
| The woman got up as well and went. |
| 57 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| She went and went, she came to a hut again. |
| 58 |
|
|
|
|
|
| She came to a hut, she went in. |
| 59 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| An old woman says, you didn't ask, you came inside on your own, you came on your own. |
| 60 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Give me something to eat, ask then! |
| 61 |
|
|
|
| The old woman gave her something to eat. |
| 62 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Where, she says, are you off to? |
| 63 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Auntie, she says, have you not noticed, do you not know a man called Bullfinch? |
| 64 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| No, niece, she says, I have noticed nothing, I know nothing, she says. |
| 65 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| In the evening your uncle will be coming, ask him (whether) he knows anything or not. |
| 66 |
|
|
|
|
|
| In the evening the old man comes. |
| 67 |
|
|
|
|
|
| Again he was carrying an elk under his arm. |
| 68 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The elk gets thrown onto the floor, the knife gets thrown. |
| 69 |
|
|
|
|
|
| Knife, cut! |
| 70 |
|
|
|
| The knife cut. |
| 71 |
|
|
|
|
|
| Knife, put it into the pot to cook. |
| 72 |
|
|
|
| The knife put it into the pot to cook. |
| 73 |
|
|
|
| The food got done. |
| 74 |
|
|
|
|
| The old woman ladles the meat out. |
| 75 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| She ate with the old man, they lay down (to sleep). |
| 76 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The old woman asks the old man, do you not know, have you not noticed a man called Bullfinch? |
| 77 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| He says, I often go to him, to the man called Bullfinch. |
| 78 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| How, she says, do you visit (him)? |
| 79 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| How, he says, do I visit (him)? |
| 80 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| I scrape the soles of my feet with a knife, scatter (it) underneath me, the watery marsh dries up and I walk across. |
| 81 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The door to his hut, he says, I open with a hair from my beard. |
| 82 |
|
|
|
|
|
| The old man fell asleep. |
| 83 |
|
|
|
|
|
| It's time to scrape the soles of the old man's feet. |
| 84 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The two of them pulled and pulled at a hair of his beard, they couldn't manage to tear one out. |
| 85 |
|
|
|
|
|
| So, chop a hair of the beard off with an axe! |
| 86 |
|
|
|
|
|
| His lip was cut in two. |
| 87 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The old man woke up, how, he says, did my lip get cut in two? |
| 88 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Husband, she says, you placed your axe yourself, it fell down and you cut your lip in two. |
| 89 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Then the old man got up and left. |
| 90 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The woman got up as well and went across the marsh. |
| 91 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| She scatters the footsole scrapings, it dries up and she walked across the marsh. |
| 92 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| She came to the place Bullfinch was living. |
| 93 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| She opened the door to the hut, inside the hut a crane chick is walking around. |
| 94 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The woman asks, when will the man called Bullfinch be coming? |
| 95 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The crane chick says, he'll be right here. |
| 96 |
|
|
|
| The woman hid. |
| 97 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The man called Bullfinch arrived, he grabbed his fiddle and sat down to play. |
| 98 |
|
|
|
|
|
| Suddenly, a string of the fiddle snapped. |
| 99 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| And he began to play the dombra, a string of the dombra snapped. |
| 100 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Oh, he says, how is it that the things seen by my wife are tearing? |
| 101 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| He sat down to play his harp, he started to play his harp, again a string snapped. |
| 102 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| He threw down his harp and jumped up to run. |
| 103 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| He jumped up to run and was grasped by his wife. |
| 104 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The couple clasped one another, they went back to their own place, they went back to their mother and father. |
