Girl 1: The struggle for the independence of our Motherland began a very long time ago.
Back in the 5th BC. Now We are going to show you the legend of the shepherd Shirak, who, at the cost of his own life, destroyed large group of the enemy army, leading them into the depths of the endless steppe.
Girl 2: It was in the time of Darius 1. The Persian king, fighting with the Saks, defeated the first detachment, took the vanquished had their clothes and weapons, and gave it all to his Persians. Disguising his warriors, Darius led them against the second detachment of Saks. Deciding that in front of Nini, their own Saki let them in tooclose and were completely destroyed. The third detachment was also defeated by the Saks.
Girl 3: Having gathered, the leaders of the Sakas could not come to a consensus. At this time, they came herdsman Shirak. He said. Chirac; If the Persians fight by cunning, then we must also destroy the Persian army by cunning. I will do my best to win
Girl 4: Chirac cut his ears and nose with a knife. And so, bloody, he came to King Darius. Shirak: Oh, great king of the Persians! My name is Shirak, my ancestors are Persians. I want to help you.
King: Get up! If you really are a Persian, then do us a favor. What can you help us?
Chirac: I don't feel sorry for life! With herds of horses, I crossed this land far and wide. Here to meevery ravine, every hollow is familiar.
King:If you know, tell me, where are the Saki now?
Shirak: They took their troops far away, to another place. I know this place. If you go straight road, you can get there before the Saks. There, from an ambush, you can pounce on them and kill all to one. To do this, you need to take food for seven days with you and urgently hit the road.
Girl 1: Darius believed him, Chirac led a huge Persian army.
Girl 2: He led the Persians for seven days and led them to a deserted, barren place where there was neither water nor food.
Commander: Why did you bring them to a waterless desert from which there is no return? Why did you deceive us?
Chirac: I wanted to win! Years will pass, centuries will pass! But my homeland, my people will never forget me!
Girl3: Yes, the people have not forgotten their heroes! So a true patriot of his people donated for the sake of saving the Motherland.
Girl 4: A small group led by Darien escaped from a huge army. This happened around 518 B.C.
