Snezhnyy ram proved to be such heavy

That the hunter did not begin to drag it on itself and cut off only rear foot and part of the side. After loading its trophies on the arm, it hurried into the return route, since it began to already smerkat'sya. But did not have time it to pass and several steps, as he understood that, after being absorbed in by searches, it strayed across the unknown places and now it will be not such a one easy to find road conversely. Valley surrounded the gorges, which were differing in no way one from another. On some one of them it passed about the mile and stumbled on the mountain flow, which, as it accurately remembered, was not encountered to it along the way into the valley.

The heap of ashes there still smoked, but, obviously, no one supported fire after its withdrawal. Entire the same dead silence all around reigned. Its vague fears became confidence; it ran up nearer. Near the glowing remainders of bonfire not there it was not one living being: girl, old man, horses all disappeared. It was clear that into its absence here came unexpectedly the terrible misfortune misfortune, which nastigla of them all, having left none it was trace.
