Will the hunter’s sons bring their father home?

And so the sons located their father, but how could they help him? The first brother said, “It’s a good thing I know how to bring the bones together!” As he sang over his father’s bones, the bones jumped up and made a skeleton.

The second brother said, “It’s a good thing I know how to put skin on the bones!” As he sang over his father’s skeleton, skin covered the bones.

The third brother said, “It’s a good thing I know how to put life into the body!” As he sang over his father’s body, the hunter’s heart began to beat.
