The story tells about the main character who can not forgive his brother Sumur, the lord of good, for having roused good in all living creatures in the distant past. Before his death, he did not forget about the evil brother Atundash and bequeathed him a bucket of milk, a tree in the steppe and a stone-spring. He asked an old traveller (old age) to give those things to his brother. But evil Atundash, seeing the old age at the threshold of his house, tries to overcome it and chases it away. He spills milk on the ground, rips out a tree in the steppe and breaks a stone. But after a few years, evil Atundash begins to realize that every year hunger overcomes him.
