So, in early autumn, an old man along with his son-in-law and grandchildren went to the forest for firewood.

Unusual larch
… The weather turned out to be good, but because our heroes managed to tumble down for day a lot of trees. However, towards evening, they stumbled upon phenomenally strong larch, from which the ax bounced, as if from a stone, and the famous Friendship chainsaw tightly stuck in the trunk.

About six times larch appeared on the ground and I almost crushed my son-in-law’s leg, but on the way to the village I managed to once again fly off the trailer, despite the fact that all the trunks are firmly fixed ropes.
The next day, chopped wood – and larch again did not wanted to give up without a fight. As soon as one of the grandchildren hit her with an ax, he flew back and hit the teenager with his butt on the forehead.

Apparently spirit I liked living in a village and abusing people. Whole month the family tried to drive him away with prayers, coal circles on the floor and by other means. After each attempt to smoke his abasy began to cast out his victim with tripled strength. From everything this woman began to dry before her eyes and lost her mind: she raved that she already liked the harassment of an evil spirit.

My poor Abasy can’t keep up with us, drive slowly! .. My poor Abasy couldn’t catch us and crying by the birch! .. ”

Marriage “Abasy’s darling”, of course, broke up, but many believe that it was not too high fee for getting rid of evil spirits. As for the most spirit, then he, as the shaman suggested, really left the house and left his many tenants alone …
