A Bewitched Place

One day, while discussing matters with some passing wagoneers, his grandfather decides to outdo Foma and his friend at dancing.

He digs and finds a cauldron, while being mocked by a bird, a sheep and a bear, that, in a horrifying manner, repeat what he says.

After he finds the treasure, the devil tries to terrify him again by making it appear as though he was below a precipice ready to come down on him with a monstrous head peeping from behind it.

His wife, thinking the boys are behind it as it comes towards her, throws dirty dishwater behind it, covering him with melon waste.

He tells them what he found but when he opens the cauldron finds filth and from that day forward never trusts the devil again and crosses himself whenever he comes to a spot said to have something wrong with it.
