Wife: "Join the caravans, get on a horse, take a golden eagle, spend the night where they spend the night. On the way, there is one Barca Kelbes well in the desert ("Where They Don't Come Back"). No one says to go down to get water. Call, say you can get water, let them tie you with an arcana and let them let you down. When you get to the bottom, you'll meet two women and one man. They will argue - "Who is more beautiful?" Say to them, "Give me water and I will resolve your dispute." They'll agree to this. You will tell them: "Not the one who looks beautiful, but the one you love is beautiful to everyone the one he has chosen." If you say so, they'll give you water. You give water to the caravans, they'll give you in return for the good they're taking, you bargain it when you get to where they're going with them. TT did just that. When he took water from the well, the caravans were amazed and provided TT with three camels loaded with gold. Together with the caravans, TT reached their destination, traded well for the gold they had earned, and, having multiplied his wealth many times over, returned home. Having become rich in this way, TT and his wife gathered craftsmen and built a palace like a khan's, and ordered to write the words above the door of each house: "It will take a thousand days to become good, one day to become bad it's enough." After the preparations were completed, the wife sent her husband to where the khan usually hunted, instructing him: "When the ruler meets you, he will be most interested in your golden eagle and with a horse. Don't give them to him, invite him to visit. If he calls you to visit before you, you say, "They wear a sheepskin coat from the gate, and since you are a khan, I should be the first to welcome you." Say one and a half people come. When TT went hunting, it happened exactly as his wife said. Khan did not want to go, but he really liked the horse and golden eagle, and the request to come as one and a half seemed mysterious. Khan asked the viziers what it meant to be one and a half people. Viziri: "Take your wife with you and we'll get together with you one hundred and fifty more people." When they arrived, each guest was taken to a separate house, received and treated. Khan himself would not be able to receive guests like this. When everyone gathered in one place, they read what was written above each door, "It will take a thousand days to become good, one day is enough to become bad." Khan remembered his daughter and felt ashamed. He thanked his daughter and handed her khanate over to his son-in-law]; yellow Uighurs [the father talked to his three daughters, the youngest said nothing, he gave her to the beggar; a year later she found gold bars, built a house, and her parents became impoverished and became poor; the daughter bought the land sold by her parents, settled them again]: Malov 1967, No. 86:81; salars (Altiuli, Xunhua-Salar Autonomous County) [rich Father and mother alternately asked their three daughters, "Whose food do you eat?" ; the elder replied, "I am eating my mother and father's food.
