the forest and searched for him a lot, and when they finally went to one place and
looked, the young man's clothes and weapons were lying everywhere, and he
himself was lying dead under a tree. It turned out that the young man had an
accident. Khan said: "Whoever brings unpleasant news about my son, I will dissect
his stomach and pour lead." The servants were very upset. They thought of ways
to inform the Khan. They did not know what to do because they were afraid that if
we tell the Khan, he will kill us. Remembering what cruel khan said, he went up to
the mountain. There lived a shepherd named Ali,who was an eloquent,singer. The
servants of the palace told the story of the shepherd:
- Now you show us how to tell the king about this incident," they said. Shepherd:
- Don't be upset,rest a little now. I will ward off this calamity," he said. Shepherd
a tree cut down and made a dutar*. Coming to the Khan's servants:
-Come on, let's go to the khan's place ,-he said. After they arrived at the khan's
palace, the shepherd took the dutar in his hand and started to play slowly. Dutar
lamented: He sang about how the young man went to the forest, was taken by a
boar, and died heroically in the end.The Khan realized that his son was dead from
the heart-rending, sad lamentation of the dutar and shouted angrily:
- Executioner, dissect the stomachs of these people who came to the forest and
pour lead! The shepherd stood up:- Hey, khan, this news was brought to you not by
us, but by this dutar. Pour the lead into the stomach of the dutar, - he said. Cruel
khan, not knowing what to do, could not bear his anger and poured lead into the
stomach of the dutar.Thus, the servants were saved from the tyranny of the tyrant
khan.
*Khan— a shorter form of Khagan, and was originally a historic title given to
