then it turned over. Mink said: ** I will swim and get it.” But his 
elder brother said: ** No, they will drown you; you will be drowned in 
that lake.” He looked away and already Mink was swimming in the 
lake. He reached the swan and took it. Then both of them went 
down. His elder brother cried: ‘‘Oh, poor brother! Now they have
