So the two knights made ready to throw Bába Yagá into the fiery brook. But she still prayed for mercy as before, and swore a great oath she would not deceive any more. “Really and truly I will show you the right water!” So the two knights were ready once more to adventure it, and Bába Yagá took them to another well. Katomá broke off a dry twig from the tree and threw it into the well. The twig had hardly fallen into the water before it sprouted up and became green and blue. “This water is right,” said Katomá, so the blind man washed his eyes and could at once see. And he put the cripple into the water, and his legs grew on to him. Then they were both very glad, and said, “Now we are healthy, we will again talk of our own rights; but we must first settle our account with Bába Yagá. If we now forgive her, we shall get no good thereby, for she will strive ever against us all her life.” So they took her back to the fiery brook and threw her into it, and she was burned to death. Katomá then married the merchant’s daughter, and all three went back into the kingdom of Anna Tsarévna the Fair to free Iván Tsarévich. They went into the capital, and there he met them with his herd of cows. “Stay, herd,” said Katomá, “whither are you driving the cattle?” “Into the Queen’s courtyard; the Tsarévna counts them every day to see whether all the cows have come home.” “Herd, put on my clothes; I will put on yours and will drive the cows home.” “No, brother, that will never do. Should the Tsarévna notice it, I should suffer.” “Fear nothing; nothing will happen, you will come by no harm; Katomá is your surety.” Iván sighed: “O good man! if only he were here I should not be herding cows.” Then Katomá showed himself who he was, and the Tsarévich embraced him tenderly and wept bitterly. “I never expected I should see you any more!” So they changed clothes, and Katomá drove the cows into the royal courtyard. Anna Tsarévna came out on to her balcony and counted the cattle. Then she commanded to take them all into the stable. All the cows went into the stable: only the last stayed behind and raised her tail. Katomá sprang up at her and cried out, “Wretched animal! why are you stopping here?” So he gripped and snatched the tail so mightily that the entire skin remained in his hand. When Anna Tsarévna saw this she cried out aloud, “What is that wretched herdsman doing? Lay hold of him and bring him to me.” So the attendants laid hold on Katomá and dragged him into the castle. Katomá suffered it without resistence and relied on his strength. He was taken up to the Tsarévna, who looked at him and said, “Who are you?” “I am Katomá, whose legs you once cut off and then set on a tree trunk.” Then the Tsarévna thought, “If he can get his legs back, I can do no more against him.” And she asked for forgiveness from him and the Tsarévich. She repented of her sins and swore an oath that she would ever love Iván Tsarévich and obey him in all things.
