When the Lord created the world, He created the spirits to serve him. However, some of them began to act against God, for which he was angry and cursed them. He drove them out of heaven, they fled and disappeared - some in the water, others in the clouds, others on earth. Those that remained hanging in the air turned into spiders. Therefore, people believe that a spider hanging in the air is the devil. The devils remaining in the clouds cause harm when the thunder thunders. Those that fell into the water are harmful to those who are in water. Those who fell to the ground come out at night and harm people.

2. Once Adam and Eve grew up of mushrooms

The world-people wound up from two mushrooms that appeared from the ground-it was Adam and Eve. People began to be born from them. At first they only ate fruits, but they could not eat apples.

This piece turned into a kadyk. Since then, he has remained with men. (...) According to other versions, Kadyk is a trace of a nail that stole and swallowed the shepherd when the Jews burst out Christ. It was this nail that they wanted to stick into his heart, but since the shepherd stole it, the heart of Christ remained whole.

3. The devil had a force equal to the power of God

God, walking, saw his shadow and told her: "Get up, my friend!" The shadow straightened like a person, but it was not a man, but a devil; They became friends and divided the world in half: the earth began to belong to the devil, and the sky was God, the living - to God, and the dead - the devil. They concluded an agreement, and the devil took the manwritten with him. When Adam began to plow the earth, the devil presented him with his agreement with God and demanded that Adam no longer plow. God decided to take the manuscript from the devil and asked one of the angels to help him. The devil liked this angel very much, and they became friends, went for a walk and decided to take in turn to dive into the lake behind the sand. The devil left the manuscript in clothes on the shore, and when he dived, the angel stole it and carried it to God. Having emerged, the devil managed to grab the angel by the foot and pulled out a piece of leg. In order to console him and in gratitude, God ordered that people had the same excavation on the foot. So the manuscript returned to God.

4. What has honey came from and why the sun does not marry

At first, the devil and God were friendly. God wanted to marry the sun and invited everyone except the devil to the wedding. The devil, angry, galloped on the hare away. God sent a bee to eavesdrop on what the devil would say, and the bee heard that if the sun was marrying, the children of the Sun who would incinerate the earth will be born. Hearing this, the bee flew back, but the devil noticed and launched arrows into it. One arrow hit the bee, so her waist is narrow.

Then Christ scattered other balls, and other luminaries turned out of them, and the rest of the earth's dust with which he played turned into a milky path.

6. We have world people from Adam and Eve

When the Lord created the Earth, He created people. Then there was no night, it was all the time. The first people were not like the present, they were covered with wool. They lived in the garden created for them by the Lord, in a small house. Adam and Eve could eat the fruits of all trees in the garden, only one apple tree was banned. Then a snake named Beauty seduced Eve to eat an apple and also give Adam. As soon as they bit off the apple, their hair fell out and their bodies were exposed. Therefore, the Lord cursed the beauty to crawl on the ground and sting people in heels. He commanded Adam that he worked one day and eat the fruits of his work for a year; Therefore, one day of plowing brings the crop for the whole year, while the amount of fabric, that Eve can stress and tone in one day, can be carried away under his arm. Since there was no night, people only plowed and ate. The earth complained to the Lord that it could not produce so much food to feed humanity. Then the Lord commanded the night to appear. The Earth will have people, but it will also eat people. Therefore, their bodies are buried in it.

7. When the Lord kicked out a graze from paradise

When the Lord kicked out the Zerzevul (Velzebuba) along with his angels from Paradise, he cursed them to be dark and black and that the eternal torment be their inhabitant. Being in eternal flour, they looked at Paradise and yearned for it. Therefore, their lord decided to create his own paradise. They created it, imitating the paradise of the Lord. They planted the same trees and flowers in their “paradise” as in the Lord Paradise. However, when the servants of Zerzevul heard the voices of angelic singing, they began to murmur, since they did not want to hear paradise songs. Zerzevul commanded them to build a high tower to the sky, which he wanted to climb to kill God and not hear more paradise songs of his angels. As a sign of the consent of the servants of Zerzevul, they bowed to him, and their horns immediately grew. The tower was built in three days, and Zerzevul wanted to climb it to kill God. As soon as it dawned, the tower of God's command was curled in a spiral, so that Zerzevul could not ascend to it. She was rebuilt three times, and three times she turned into a spiral. For the fourth time, however, the Lord allowed the servants of Zerzevul to remake it. Their lord climbed onto the tower and let the arrow in God. As soon as he shot at him, the arrow returned and hit Zerzevul in the head and wounded him. When he screeched in pain, all his assistants became sorry for him; They broke them on their feet as a sign of support - therefore, they are called "one -legged." The Lord immediately made it so that the tower fell to the bottom of the earth and turned into eternal flour; It is like a large boiler, where Zerezevul and his assistants are boiling in boiling water to this day. All the trees and flowers that they planted in their “paradise” turned into thorns and barren stones. Between God's paradise and the “paradise” of the “paradise” of Zelzebub, the abyss opened, and there is no way between them.

8. Why does a woman have a hole below

Once people had a gap on the body. The Lord did not like it. He gave Adam and Eve of money to buy a lace for themselves and sew up the bodies. However, Eve bought a part of this money of the candies for herself, and therefore she did not have enough for a long lace, and since then she has a hole below. And Adam bought a lace for all the money, and it turned out to be even longer than necessary - since then part of it hangs below the man’s body.

9. Creation of a woman

When the Lord created the first man from the earth, breathed his soul into him and he came to life, he decided to make his friend for him; He sent an angel and instructed him to find Adam when he would sleep in the garden, and take his rib from him on his left side. The angel made as the Lord told him. He went to the garden to the sleeping Adam and painlessly pulled out a rib of his body from him. However, when the angel returned with the edge, the Lord was asleep. The angel did not want to wake him up and began to wait for God to wake up. Then the devil approached him and asked what he was holding. The angel answered him: "This is the edge of Adam." The devil wanted to see him, and then asked and hold him. The angel gave him a rib, and the devil ran away with him and hid in a hole. The angel rushed after him and grabbed him by the tail; The devil jerked, and his tail broke and remained at the angel. The confused angel went to the still dozing the Lord with the tail of the devil in his hand. He told him without opening his eyes: "Let what in your hand will become what I told." Thus, the tail of the devil turned into a woman, and she was called Eve.

10. Creating a vagina

The Lord began to create a female body. He invited a goat, a bee, a fox, a ferret and a donkey and began to consult with them how to arrange Pijulin. Animals began to think where to place it on a female body. If you place Pizhulin on the forehead, then everyone will have access to it. Therefore, the Lord did not allow this and ordered that instead of Pijulina, women would wear flowers on his forehead, saying: "If someone wants to get to Pijulina, let him get to the flowers first." We decided to place it below, on the neck. The Lord did not like this again, and he said: “Let the beads be here, and if someone wants to get to her, let him get to the beads first.” We decided to place it between the breasts, but the Lord did not like it again, and he forbade it, saying: “We will not put it here, it will be slightly lower, and if someone wants to get to her, then let the woman at the bosom at first.” Then the animals decided to place it below, on the navel itself. The Lord did not like it again, and he ordered that Pijulin be placed below, and then let there be a belt. And if someone wants to get to Pijulina, let him untie the belt first. Then the Lord said that she would be in the most secluded place - between the legs. Then the goat came with a hoof to this place, and the unfinished clay jumped out where the hoof is bifurcated. Then the fox touched the tail, and the Lord commanded that this place became soft to the touch, like the tail of a fox. The bee was furious next to her, and the Lord commanded that Pijulina became sweet as honey. The ferret passed nearby, and therefore there was a bad smell. The donkey threw this place and pressed it - so Pijulina has no bottom.
