Kitobni o'qish: «Wicked Atundash»

There was a land a long time ago where people obeyed the gods implicitly. Different animals used to live on that land: cats, dogs, sheep, cows, camels and many other wild creatures. There used to grow different trees and bushes like apple trees, grapes, pear, peach and cherry trees and many others with tasty fruit.

People on that land were also very different. Some of them used to make the others submit, and they were called wicked. They bit animals, chopped fruit trees and worshipped the Lord Atundash – he used to have the power equal to the power of three bulls. He could smash any stone with his fist and could snatch a huge tree.

His tremendous power enslaved weak people in his attempt to conquer the whole world. However, it was impossible to conquer a huge world and all the people whose heart love, loyalty and justice live in because lord Sumur, who was Atundash’s blood brother, protected them.

Sumur was the complete opposite of his brother. He called every living thing nature and was a very kind man. Besides, his power was a thousand times greater than Atundash’s.

He could turn a mountain upside-down with one hand and wrest the tree from the root with one blow only. Nevertheless, Sumur did not want to hurt animals and trees, which he considered his friends, and to weak people, which he considered his brothers.

Lord Sumur used to say that only the alive can give birth to life and the Lords of the universe just help it. The sun warms the land, and the water makes the soil wet. The moon brings light and peace in the darkness of night, and nature creates life, and people should help each other. They should feed animals and look after them and then they will love the people back. Cows will give milk; camels will give chal and help to carry cargo. Moreover, sheep will give wool to people, not letting them get cold.

Sumur also used to say that it is essential to care about the trees and bushes, which are the ancestors of all the living. You need to give them fresh water and plough the soil with the arrival of spring, and then you will have delicious fruits: apples, cherries, pears, peaches and many other fruit and berries.

"My brothers, people!" powerful lord Sumur was shouting from the high mountain, "love nature and help each other. It is only kindness which can help the universal gods protect the nature!"
