Legend of dancing birches
Once the khan learned that at the foot of one mountain lived a people whose young people were entirely craftsmen, craftsmen, poets and singers. They gathered in the eastern part of Kumiskol in a small meadow: they sang songs, sang various melodies on dombra and kobyz, and danced. And the khan wanted to see their art. In order not to scare off the people, the khan dressed in the clothes of a commoner and with only one guard went to them. Nobody recognized him.
The fun was in full swing. Now it's the turn to dance. In the middle of the clearing came young girls - one more beautiful than the other - and began to dance, twisting and spinning in a dance; it seemed that they had no bones at all, they were so flexible and slender. They fascinated everyone so much that people who watched their art were breathtaking. And khan so
carried away by this magnificent spectacle, which he himself did not notice with delight, as he exclaimed: “Great! You live a thousand years, my dears! "
And then people paid attention to the speaker and recognized him as a khan.
The dancing girls were confused, from embarrassment they did not know where to go, because they were still at the mercy of the enchanting dance.
They stopped in the position in which they were caught by the exclamation of the khan, and they froze, not daring to move. And then the Great Tengri, deciding to capture this moment forever, turned the dancing girls into white birches, whirling in a whirlwind of fast dance.
