Summary

The Korhaan Malkop marries his elder sister, who carries him like a child to deceive others into thinking he is a child, even though he is her husband. The Korhaan knocks down the Steenbok (his brother-in-law), who plunges the 'child's' head into the fire to punish him. The Korhaan screams and flies up into the sky. The brother-in-law says that the Korhaan Malkop must always be marked by fire and must marry a female whose head is marked in the same manner.
