Gray boy

As long as there is,
He was hungry and full.
As long as the wolf is
As long as the fox is alive,
As the crow crows,
The sparrow is a sparrow.
In the age of nomadism
There is a famous rich man.
From the half he loved
There is no joy.
Country pattern count,
Years, sheep are innumerable.
In so many countries,
It's hard for a boy.

The rich man was sad day and night because he had no children, and he had no pleasure in eating and drinking. There were no unmarked graves or saints left. In the end, the wife doubled and gave birth to a son, who was a child like the moon. The rich man rejoiced and spent two nights and nights feasting and giving soup to the whole country. Those who gathered at the wedding named the boy Boz. On the day of the gray boy's cradle wedding, his mother passed away. The rich man found a good nurse and raised the child in his house. These days, a beloved head of state has given birth to a goat, and the child of that goat is dead. The gray child was fed with this goat's milk. Every day a goat would come from the field to graze and give milk. They feed the baby with this milk. The gray boy grew up quickly, and his tongue came out. The gray boy married a rich second wife when he was two years old. After the stepmother gave birth to a son, Boz began to envy the child. He did not wash the child well, did not tidy him up, and laid him on the edge of an old bed, and when he opened his stomach, he beat him and threw him to one side. Stepmother Boz decided to destroy the child and get her child into the state of the rich.
The gray boy went to school when he was older. When he came home from school every day, his father would take him to school and teach him, and he would cheer him up with sweet words. The stepmother, not seeing him, pushed her child into the boat and said, “Run, are you not ashamed to be a big boy and sit next to your father? Look, your brother is trying to sit on his father's knees. ” However, when he saw his father caressing Boz again, his wife became angry and hated him very much.
The gray boy always raised his brother and was kind to him because his brother loved him. Three or four years later, the goat that fed the gray child gave birth to a very beautiful baby. The Gray Boy bit him on the ear, saying "mine," and looked at him with his own hand. The mother goat came two or three times a day to nurse her child and go out to graze in the fields. The goat was playing with Boz. The gray boy taught the goat to speak. When the stepmother was humiliated, she would talk to the goat and spread her grief. No matter how much the stepmother abused the Empty Child, she was silent. The stepmother could not bear it and began to look for a solution. He had an old mother with a twisted face. He was very good at tricks. The stepmother advised him.
The old woman said:
"When your husband goes shopping, every day when the boy asks for bread, give him a loaf of bread, and give your son a loaf of bread." If Anna does that, the Gray Boy will get angry with you and walk away, or bite his father. Then, if you put the blame on the gray boy and slap him, your husband will be angry. Then the husband sends the child somewhere. You're going to get rid of the Gray Boy.
From the day her husband went shopping, the stepmother did as the old woman told her. The gray boy was upset, not knowing what to do with his mother's work, and went out to the garden, where the goat came to him with a sigh.
Goat Gray upset the boy:
"Yes, Gray Boy, why are you so upset?" He said. The gray boy said to him:
He said, "Let me tell you, if you can do anything you want, let me tell you what to do."
In the case of goats:
"Akajon, tell me, maybe I'll do something, or we'll find another way," he said.
The Goat was astonished that the goat had spoken so wisely, and that his stepmother had abused him to this day, especially after his father had left for the trade, and that he had begun to give his child a loaf of bread every day when he came home from school. and wept, saying that he had insulted her greatly. The goat begged him:
"Stop it, give me the baked loaf, and I'll find you a good meal," he said.
The gray boy sliced ​​the bread for the goat, and the goat ate the bread and prayed. When the gray boy looked, he saw a plate of soup in front of him. The gray boy ate the soup and satiated his stomach.
So he gave the goat bread every day, ate the soup that came from nowhere, and walked around laughing.
One day the stepmother saw the incident and told her mother.
The old woman thought for a moment:
"It's easy. You'll make yourself sick the next day. If your husband asks, say, 'I'm demon-possessed.' Say, "You will be better off if you kill a gray goat and make it a god." Your husband will not take your word for it, but he will kill the goat, and you will be saved. '
On the day of her husband's arrival, the woman wept as her mother had said, and forced her husband to speak, and her husband immediately summoned the butcher and ordered him to slaughter the goat. He made his flesh a god and buried his head in a hayloft. If a gray boy comes home from school, he doesn’t have a goat. When he asked his brother, he said:
"My father came, my mother became ill, we slaughtered your goat and made her a god, we buried her head in the hayloft," he said.
When the gray boy looked, the story was as his brother had said. To the gray boy's brother:
"Now this country is unclean for us." Tell both my mother and my father that they have completely got rid of me, and I am gone. ' Because the goat said to Boz the day before, “Tomorrow your father will come, and your mother will slaughter me and make me a god. Don't stay here after you kill me. Your mother will hurt you, go the other way. '
As the gray boy was walking, he met two dear friends on the street:
"Is there a way?" He said.
The boy told them the whole story, and said, "I'm not here anymore. Well, I'm gone." The two comrades said, "Stop, or we will go with you, and we will go with you wherever you go, from those who are oppressed by your stepmother." nashnbdi. When the boy's father found out that his youngest son, my brother, had left, he ran out and called, and the children left without looking. His father told Boz to take something with him.

Gray boy, Gray boy,
Tulips finished in the ice.
From the sheep in the pen -
Drive Gray Boy.
Gray boy, Gray boy,
Tulips finished in the ice.
From the horses of the year -
Go mine, gray boy.
Gray boy, Gray boy,
Tulips finished in the ice.
From the tones in the garden -
Get dressed, Gray Boy.
Gray boy, Gray boy,
Tulips finished in the ice.
From the money in the treasury -
Take it, gray boy.

The gray boy was very angry:

The sheep in the pen,
Let him be slaughtered at ten o'clock.
Your horses,
Let him be slaughtered for Marakang.
Your tones in the garden,
Cover your coffin.
Your money in the treasury,
Let it be scattered from your coffin,

despite his father's words. The three comrades walked like three brothers. He is walking, and even though he is walking, he is walking abundantly.

Wandering in the sands, wandering in the desert,
Cross the river, climb the mountain,
The three brothers walked,
Roaring and playing.

They walked to a tree. While they were eating and resting, they saw a falcon on a tree branch. They grabbed him and took him away. On the way, a stray dog ​​was walking among the mountains, and he was also caught.
On the way, the bird leaned to one side, and when they looked, they saw a flock of sparrows, and the bird was looking for these sparrows. They sent the dog, flew the kakliklarei, and killed the bird. The bird picked up one of the sparrows and went up in a circle. The dog also followed the bird. They, too, chased after the bird and the dog. The bird landed somewhere. When they went to the place where the bird landed, there was a high building on the lip of a great river, resembling a palace of khans. The bird landed on the roof of the building. When they called the bird, he did not look. They sat under a tree, ate, and slept. While one of them was awake, a girl came out of the palace with a gold ornament in her hand.
The girl came and asked the awake boy:
"Who are you? Where do you come from? Where are you going? Who is this bedridden person?" He asked.
The young man told him what he had been through, what he had been through, and told him that the young man in bed was his friend Boz, and:
"Who are you? Whose place is this?" He asked. Girl:
“This palace is a special palace of Oyparcha Beg, the daughter of Aitugdikhan, the khan of this country, and I am his maid. The khan hands over his daughter this morning, and I went out into the water to wash the hair of my Oyparcha begim. When I saw you, I fainted and threw my obdast into the water. Now what shall I answer my Oyparcha beg ?! He cried.
The young man took pity on the girl, undressed and dived into the water, but could not find the golden obdast. The girl entered the palace crying.
Oyparcha begged my mistress to put out her maid, ask why she was late, and demanded water with obdasta. Speaking of what he had seen, Boz praised the beauty of the boy to the khan's daughter. They are more beautiful than each other, and most of all, as the maid says, the Gray Boy lying in the middle is very beautiful. When the fire of love touched his heart, he said, "Wow." The maid sprinkled the rose and brought Oyparcha to her. The khan's daughter asked the maid to bring two apples. The maid brought two red apples. Aiming at the moon, Boz threw the apple at the boy and woke him up.
When the gray boy wakes up, he sees a red flower on the upper door, smiling and twirling his face in a flirtatious manner. As she rubbed her eyes to see what kind of girl she was, or not, the girl tossed a red apple at the Gray Boy, closed the door, and opened it again. The gray-haired boy, too, was unsteady at first sight, and took his handkerchief from his side, waved it, and pressed it to his heart. He jumped to his feet, went to the bottom of the palace, and asked who he was.
After the two asked each other who they were, the khan's daughter said:
"My father wants to give me to a prince he doesn't like, and we can run away if you want," he said. Gray boy:
- I have two friends, what do we do with them? He said.
Girl:
"They'll follow us. Come here when you're asleep in the evening. I'll wait for you with two horses. We'll run together."
The gray-haired boy returned to his comrades, told them the story, said good-bye to his friends at night, and went to the palace, where the girl was ready and waiting on horseback. The two rode off, saying good-bye to their palace and country, and saying good-bye to their parents, and set off in a hurry.

Both friends left,
Dusting the deserts,
Chasing, playing,
Jumping horse in the mountains.
Both friends left,
When the hand goes to sleep.
They hugged, kissed,
As the moon rises.

As they walked, they walked, and walked, and walked, and walked, and walked, and walked, and walked, and walked, and walked, and walked, and walked, and walked, and walked, and walked, and walked, and walked, and walked, and walked, and walked, and walked, and walked, and walked, and walked. When they take a risk, the houses are decorated, the palos are built, and there is no human being. He looked sideways, and there was a dog with a lost bird. Surprised, they fed the bird and the dog, stroking the dog's head. They both looked around and made everything their own.
When it was ten days, the other two comrades arrived and found Boz in the fort. They all hunted and lived in the fort every day. walking.
Now hear the word from the khan's side. The khan gave his daughter to the son of the Turkmen khan. The next day, the son of the Turkmen khan came to pick up the girl as a bride. When he heard that the khan's daughter had run away with an unknown man, or that she had run away herself. The khan sent men searching everywhere. The bridegroom was amazed and went down to the army.
The searchers wandered for several days, and finally found their way to the castle where the Gray Boy stood. They saw smoke rising from the citadel, which had been imprisoned by the khan. They wondered who had come here and made a place for the khan without fear, and on the day of the girl's escape there was one of the lost horses from the khan's stable. They let the old woman who came with them inside. The old woman slowly came back and said, "That's the khan's daughter." When the Yasuvs invaded, grabbed Boz, tied him to a mulberry tree, and tried to ride the khan unconscious, Boz cried and said to the young men:

The heroes from the mountains,
Good guy shooters,
Do not take half,
Those who have not wronged us!
I shook my head,
Shaving the eagles,
Leaving the handle,
Don't leave me!
If you do not bring together,
Or if you don't kill,
As a young man, riding a horse,
Do not be ignorant!

One of the guys got angry:
"The khan will kidnap his daughter and you will not restrain your tongue again," he said, striking her with a sword, and took her away.
In the evening, when the two comrades returned from the hunt, Boz killed the boy and kidnapped Oyparcha. Crying for the gray boy, he took his corpse out of the smoke, sat down and advised, and rode off on horseback, saying that we would not leave our comrade's corpse in a strange place. They got lost and came to the city of Aitugdikhan. Now, so that the khan would not find out, Boz buried the corpse of the boy in a place, planted a pumpkin on it, made a circle around it, sewed a tent, and the two of them put on the clothes of a dervish and sat down to say takbir from the head of their comrades.
After the khan brought his daughter to the palace, the girl said to her father:
"I won't land anymore," he said.
The khan reluctantly deceived the groom with so many sarpos and barely sent him. Oyparcha did not go out of his palace, and the Boz boy lay crying day and night in his work. His job was always to come from a country, from a dervish or a worldly man, to talk to them and ask the Gray boy. Because he hadn't seen Boz's dead, he still thought he was alive. When the dervishes came, they would sing and recite what they had seen and heard, and so on. One day one of his maids, Boz, passed by the boy and told Oyparcha that he had heard his dervish comrades singing sadly. Oyparcha immediately sent for the two dervishes and asked them to speak and sing. The dervishes immediately recognized Oyparcha, remembered their comrade Boz, and sang from their hearts with tears:

The camel goes up the mountain,
Following the bush,
Never in the world,
A gray boy like a gray child.
The sheep are coming,
Following the lamb,
Never in the world,
A gray boy like a gray child.

Rejoicing that he had found what he was looking for in his heart, Oyparcha gave the dervishes a shovel of gold and asked them to say it again. The dervishes wept and sang more bitterly than before:

The body of a gray child,
The mulberry hung on the wood.
In the hands of a poor young man,
His head was cut off like a sheep.
Gray boy, gray boy,
Sarah is a young man, a young man.
Never in the world,
Gray boy like a gray boy ?!

Hearing this, Oyparcha begim fell unconscious, and after a while regained consciousness, weeping blood and asking the dervishes where Boz's body was dead. The dervishes introduced themselves and said that the dead were where they stood. Oyparcha begim immediately added the cart, opened the grave, threw himself on the corpse of Boz, and sighed and died. When Aitugdikhan heard this, he saw that his daughter was dead. Repenting for what he had done, he wept bitterly over those who had killed the Gray Child. Then Boz and Oyparcha built a mausoleum on top of him and lived with his daughter's grief.
