Learn how to make a sock puppet... it is so easy to make.
Firstly, find a sock that you want to use and find some material, scissors, 
buttons, string and some cardboard.
Next cut an oval out of the cardboard and glue pink or black or red 
material on to it or use markers or paint. Let it dry completely and then 
fold the oval in half. It is a mouth.
Cut out a red tongue, as in the picture below. Fold over the tongue and 
then glue it to the inside fold of the oval.
Now place your hand in the sock....and find where the comfortable place 
for your hand to open and close it. Then glue the oval there for the mouth.
Next sew or glue buttons for eyes. Also glue string to the top of the sock 
puppet for hair. Add your own details. Wasn’t that fun?!

The Legend of Kirk Kiz
People have always m ade legends

brave Am azonian 
fe m a le soldiers. T here w e re m any w om en 
in arm ies of d iffe re n t co u ntrie s.
There is a legend of Samarkand A m a­
zons too. A ccording to the legend, a 
group of girls stayed in the castle of Kirk 
Kiz Tepe to p ro te ct Samarkand. Soldiers 
from another country wanted to enter 
the castle. Samarkand girls, led by their 
leader Gauhar defended the castle. Many 
days and nights they fo u g h t against enemy 
soldiers and killed them on the battlefield. 
A lot of girls were killed too. Only Gauhar 
and som e girls stayed alive, but help from
the city did not com e. The girls were ready 
to pro te ct the city to the death.
The castle w as b u rn in g , crie s w ere 
heard in the fire , and the w alls w ere 
broken. The g irls lost hope. But G auhar 
m anaged to kill som e m ore so ld ie rs w ith 
th e arrow s. W hen the a rro w s ended, 
G auhar w as hurt.
The enem y so ld ie rs s u rro u n d e d her. 
They w e re looking at her bu t cou ld not

a b lo o d y h e lm e t fell dow n fro m her 
head and her long hair fell dow n on her 
sho ulde rs. She raised her sw ord and 
said: “ My n a m e ’s Gauhar, my girls w ere 
killed in the battle, and I call yo u r leader 
to fig h t” .
The so ld ie rs w e re su rp rise d . No one 
had fo u g h t w ith th e ir po w e rfu l arm y 
as bravely as the girls did. The leader 
looked at the girl and q u ie tly said: “ I’d 
like to have such m en in my a rm y ” .
He p o lite ly cam e up to G auhar and 
ca re fu lly looked into her eyes. He realized 
th a t he w o uld no t take Sam arkand, but 
w ould find his death there.
The le ad er to o k the g irl’s hand and 
kissed it. Then he tu rn e d to his men and 
sho ute d: “ I saw the pearl o f Sam arkand 
and it’s enough fo r me. B ack h o m e !” 
The arm y m ou nte d th e ir horses and

At th a t m om ent, the rid ers appeared, 
hurrying to help the Am azons. G auhar 
tu rn e d her head and said quietly: “ Fi­
