The Falcon Pipiristi

The second time, the man goes to the market again and asks which gifts he can bring to his daughters, and they repeat their previous requests.

Once again, the man finds the summer dress and the handkerchief, and still no sign of the net, to the cadette's great sadness.

However, the girl's sisters learn of the clandestine meetings and place some fishing hooks on their cadette's window.

She takes a perfumed soap, a beautiful comb and a silken staff with her, and begins a journey through the distant lands.

Finally, the girl reaches a village, where she learns Pipiristi is living with a witch's daughter in a hut.

The girl trades the comb for a night in Pipiristi's chambers, and a deal is made, but the witch gives the human falcon a soporific wine.

At night, the girl sings a song to a sleeping Pipiristi about how she crossed distances to reach him, but he does not nudge.

For the third night, the human falcon avoids drinking the wine, and only pretends to be asleep; the girl, his true wife, enters his room and cries over him to wake up.

A. Popov) stated that "it was difficult" to find a parallel to the Komi "Pipiristi Falcon" tales among the Russians.

[5] In the Russian tale type SUS 432, "Финист ясный сокол" ("Finist Bright Falcon"), the prince comes to the heroine's room in bird shape; her jealous relatives (stepmother or sisters) place blades in the window to hurt the bird prince, and he flies away.

Thus, the youngest daughter takes some cookies with her and goes to meet a wise old woman and asks her where she herself can find Pipiristi.

The old woman advises her to go to a certain green meadow and catch Pipiristi, then throw the cookies to distract her pursuers.

It happens thus, the girl brings the Falcon Pipiristi with, which she wears and goes to church in splendid clothes, amazing the attendees.

Still, the girl goes to the same meadow with some cookies, captures Pipiristi and rushes back, throwing some food behind herself to deter whoever it is that is chasing after her.

One day, the girl asks her mother for new clothes, but her tells her mockingly to stay on the stove and pluck the hazel grouse there.

Her mother comes home and comments to her daughter the beautiful girl that was at church, people asking if she was God or a man.

In this tale, an old man finds a girl in the woods who says she is Marpida, bride to Falcon Pipilis, left for dead by her stepmother.

Later, Pipilis flies to her side as a falcon, turns into a man, and wishes to take her to his kingdom, but she declines.

The next time, Marpida goes with a sundress embroidered with beads, then returns home, and tells her foster mother she was the stranger at church, revealing about the bird Pipilis.

Her foster mother decides to catch the bird and have the dresses for herself, but, the next day, Pipilis gets word of this, leaves a scarf to Marpida, and flies away.

Marpida rolls the copper egg on the ground and follows it, traversing the fiery meadow and the hot coals with the boots, until she reaches the seashore.

[16] Hungarian Finno-Ugricist Károly Rédei [de] collected a dialectal Komi tale from Vychegda with the title pipirisťi sokol ("Pipiristťi falcon").

Curious about their cadette's gift, the elder two spy on her: pipirisťi falcon flies in through the cellar window.

The next time, the girl takes out a spool of thread which she trades for a second night, and lastly, on the third day, a golden broom.

Pipirisťi notices he has been having dreams about his former wife for the past two nights, and is being given enough vodka to pass out, so he avoids drinking any more of what the witch's daughter gives him.

In order to solve their problem, Pipirisťi ties his second wife to a colt and lets it loose, quartering the witch's daughter into limbs that spread everywhere.

One day, a merchant named Pipiriski Falcon comes to sell his goods, which the monarchs buy for his three daughters.

Howevert, as soo as they leave, the girl meets Pipiriski Falcon, for they knew each other, puts on a silk muslin dress and goes to church.

Marfida rushes back home, takes off the splendid dress and stays put for her family's return.

The next time family goes to church, the elder princesses hide under the stairs and spy on their sister Marfida going to meet Pipiriski and gaining the dress.
