In ancient times, one padishah lived. He was cruel, especially did not like the elderly and ordered to kill everyone who was seventy years old. “All the same, they are of no use,” the ruthless padishah said at the same time.
At that time, a young man lived in the capital of the padishah. He had a seventy-year-old father. The young man loved his father very much and saved him from execution. He made sure that the old man did not come across anyone's eyes. Every evening the young man came to his father and told about everything he had seen and heard during the day.
Once a young man came to his father, and his father asked him:
What's new in the world, son?
“This afternoon,” the young man began his story, “the padishah with his viziers came to the river bank. He saw
a sparkling gem at the bottom of the river and ordered to get it .. The swimmers dived into the water, but did not find any stone there, and when they surfaced, they saw that the gem was still sparkling at the bottom of the river. Neither the padishah nor his viziers can find out where the stone is.
- Tell me, son, is there a tree on the shore? the old man asked.
- There is. Its branches hang over the water in the place where the padishah saw the precious stone, - said the young man.
“Is there a nest on that tree?” the old man asked again.
“Well, listen to what I tell you. The gem lies not at the bottom of the river, but in a bird's nest. Only his reflection shines in the water,” the old man said confidently.
The next morning, the padishas and the viziers gathered on the banks of the river, looking - the stone still sparkles at the bottom. We dived - there is nothing! There are viziers, they can't understand anything. Then a young man approached the padishah, bowed and said:
- Allow me, great padishah, to say a word: do not look for a stone in the water. See the tree? There is a nest on that tree, and in the nest there is a stone. Look for him there.
The padishah only raised an eyebrow: - the viziers rushed to the tree and a minute later brought him a precious stone the size of a goose egg. The padishah was surprised.
“You are considered scientists, but you turned out to be more stupid than this young man!” he reproached his viziers. And he asked the young man:
— Who told you about it?
“I figured it out myself,” the young man replied.
The viziers held a grudge against the young man. And then to say - he disgraced them before the padishah! And the viziers decided to kill the young man from the world. They came to the padishah and said:
- The jigit boasts - he says: "I can guess everything in the world." Allow me, padishah, to show him two stallions, identical in appearance, and let him, without coming close to them, guess which stallion is young, which is old.
“Good,” agreed the padishah.
He called the young man and said:
“Come here tomorrow, we will show you two stallions, and you will have to guess which one is young and which is old.”
The young man bowed and, sad, returned home. At home, he again came to his father and silently sat down beside him.
What are you thinking about, my son? the old man asks.
- You, father, told the truth about the precious stone: it was found in a bird's nest! Now the padishah has given me another task. And the young man told his father what problem he would have to solve tomorrow.
- Do not worry, son! This riddle is very simple,” his father reassured him. “Tomorrow you will go to the padishah and when the stallions are brought out, carefully look at their habits: the young stallion will not calmly take a step - he will start dancing from a distance, and the old one will only lead his head and give way to the young one.
The next morning a young man came to the king's court. After some time, the padishah and his viziers went there too. The padishah waved his hand - they brought out two identical stallions. One stallion is walking, dancing all the time, and the other is walking and only shaking his head.
“This stallion is young, and that one is old,” the young man said confidently.
Before the young man had time to guess this riddle, the viziers prepared a new one for him. They ordered two identical logs to be hewn, and the young man had to guess which log was sawn off from the upper half of the tree, which from the lower.
Sad young man returned home. He came to his father and told him about a new riddle.
“Do not worry, son,” his father reassured him, “it is not difficult to solve this riddle. You ordered both logs to be lowered into the water and look: the log from the upper half of the tree will float all the way, and the log sawn off from the lower half will sink into the water with one end.
Morning has come. The young man came to the appointed place, and there are two identical logs. The padishah said to the young man:
Here are two logs for you. You do not touch them, but guess which one is sawn off from the upper half of the tree, which one is from the lower one.
“Dip both logs into the water,” said the young man.
They lowered the logs into the water, and immediately one floated to the top, and the other half sank into the water.
“This is the upper part of the tree, this is the lower part,” the young man said confidently.
The padishah was surprised and asked: Who taught you this?
“I figured it out myself,” the young man replies.
“No, you are still too young and inexperienced and cannot know everything,” the padishah said. Tell the truth: who taught you? If you don't, I'll order you executed!
WISE OLD MAN AND STUPID KING
In times long past, there was a young king in a city. He disliked the old people and ordered them all to be killed. Only one boy saved his old father by hiding him in a dungeon.
Soon, the king of a neighboring state declared war on the young king. The young king began to gather an army. Yeget, who had sheltered his father, went down to his father in the dungeon before setting out on a campaign to say goodbye. His father admonished him with these words:
My son, you are going to very far places. You will endure deprivation and hunger there. It will come to the point that you will cut all the horses and eat them. Even the commander's horse, and that one will be slaughtered. After that, willy-nilly, you will turn back. On the way back, all the warriors will abandon the saddles and bridles taken from the horses. And you do not quit, though it will be hard to bear. You will meet a horse of unprecedented beauty. The one who does not have a saddle and a bridle will not fall into his hands, but will run up to you, stop in front of you and bow his head. You put a bridle on him and take him to the commander. For this, the commander will bring you closer to him and will honor you as his friend. Well, goodbye, go.
Everything happened just as the old man predicted. During the campaign, the army ran out of food, and the soldiers began to eat the meat of their horses. In the end, they slaughtered the commander's horse, ate it and moved back. To free themselves from the burden, the soldiers threw the saddles and bridles taken from the slaughtered horses. Only one Eget, the one who remembered the words of his father, did not leave either a saddle or a bridle.
On the way back, a horse of unprecedented beauty ran out to meet the army. Everyone rushed to catch him, but he was not given into the hands of anyone. Finally, he himself ran up to the jet, who had a saddle and a bridle, stopped in front of him and bowed his head. Eget put a bridle on the horse, took it to the commander and gave it to him. Since then, the eget has become a friend of the commander.
Once the king went with his army for a walk to the seashore. From the shore, the king saw that something was shining at the bottom of the sea. He ordered his soldiers to get from the bottom of the sea that which shines. Many warriors dived and did not come up.
The turn of the young hunter, a friend of the commander, was approaching to dive.
Eget quickly jumped on his horse and rode home. He went to his father in the dungeon and told him about what was happening on the seashore. The old man listened to his son and said:
My son, a tall tree grows on the seashore. At the top of that tree is a bird's nest, and in that nest is a large diamond. The radiance from this stone is reflected on the sea surface and illuminates it. When it’s your turn to dive, you tell the king: “Sir, I will have to die this way and that, and therefore let me climb this tree and look for the last time in the direction of my native hearth.” The king will allow you, and you take out that stone from the nest and give it to the king.
Eget returned to the seashore, and when it was his turn to dive, he said to the king:
Sovereign, I will have to die this way and that, and therefore allow me to climb this tree and look for the last time in the direction of my native hearth.
The king allowed him. Yeget climbed a tree; as soon as he reached the nest and grabbed a stone from there, the radiance of the sea ceased, and all the people fell down. Eget descended from the tree and presented the king with a diamond.
My friend, how did you find out about this? When you went to war, you gave the commander a horse, and now you got it and gave it a diamond, - the king was surprised.
O sovereign, - answered the eget: - and you will say - it's scary, and you won't say - it's hard. Well, all right, I will rely on your mercy and say: I hid my old father when you ordered the killing of all the old people, and everything that I did, I learned from him. Oh, my lord, if you had not ordered to kill all the old people, they would have given a lot of good advice!
After that, the king ordered the old man to be released from the dungeon, began to keep him with him and showed him great honor. Then the king went out into the street, addressed his troops and said:
My warriors, I made a big mistake when I ordered to kill all the old people. If they were alive, our entire city would be full of wisdom.
There were once a decrepit old man and an old woman. They had no children in their entire lives. They had only one dog, named "Sarbai". Sarbai was a handsome dog, and the old people loved him very much. But the old man and the old woman had a child.
After that, Sarbay's life became different: the owners did not pay attention to him, they rarely fed him, and he began to lose weight.
Once Sarbai ran into the forest and met his old friend, a wolf, there.
Friend Sarbay! What happened to you? the wolf wondered. - Why are you so sad?
Before, I was the only joy of the hosts, - Sarbai answered and became sad. - And now they have a child, and I am no longer held in high esteem. It became hard for me to live.
Do not grieve, Sarbay, - said the wolf. - As soon as summer comes and your owners go to reap bread, I will steal their child from them. Then they will love you again, as before.
Sarbai thought, but began to wait for the onset of summer.
Here it came. It got hot. When the bread ripened, the harvest began, the old man and the old woman took the child with them into the field and began to reap the bread. The child was sleeping in the cart, and Sarbai lay beside him.
Suddenly a wolf crept up to the cart and carried the child away. The child wept plaintively, and Sarbai felt sorry for him, and with a frantic bark he rushed in pursuit of the wolf.
The old man and the old woman were working far away, but they heard Sarbai barking, ran up to the cart and saw that the child was gone.
They began to weep loudly in grief. Meanwhile, Sarbai caught up with the wolf and took the child away from him.
Sarbai brought the child to the old people. They were very happy. As a reward for saving the child, they began to feed Sarbai better than before, and he healed happily ever after.

“What will be, will be - I will tell the truth,” thought the young man and admitted:
- I was taught by my father, who was seventy years old. I hide it to keep it from death.
“Obviously, old people can be useful too. You can’t do without them either! - said the padishah and canceled his cruel order.
