ABSTRACT
Once upon a time the Ölet and we Khalkha were enemies. As soon as we Khalkha had progressed a little in men and cattle, many powerful heroes would come from the Ölet and fall upon us and rob us. They fell on us thirty times. Finally it was Bookhai, the Yellow Hero of the Ölet, who on the thirtieth occasion stole away from Khalkha a young woman whom he made his minor wife. At that time the woman was pregnant. The Hero Bookhai’s wife was also pregnant. She was with child. The two women, the wife of the Hero Bookhai and the slave woman stolen from Khalkha, were due to give birth on the same day.
