The woman planted the tree with her feet, but not with her hands. The woman watered it using her feet but not her hands. She said: "When will this be a luxuriant chair on which I can take a seat?"

At its roots, a snake immune to incantations made itself a nest. In its branches, the Anzud bird settled its young.
