Badai got married and thinks: how will his family live? He thought and thought and this is what he came up with.
He will collect the wool that the sheep leave on the thorns, make felt from the wool, exchange the felt for a mare, the mare will bear a foal, the foal will grow into a good horse, and for the horse you can buy a yurt.
With that, Badai went to the merchant.
“Sell me the yurt,” he asks, “I’ll give you a good horse for it.”
The merchant agreed, Badai quickly began to fold the yurt - he wanted to take it with him.
- Uh, wait, where is the horse? — the merchant was surprised.
Starting tomorrow I will begin to collect the wool that the sheep leave on the thorns, I will make felt from the wool, I will exchange the felt for a mare, the mare will bear a foal, the foal will grow into a good horse. Then I’ll give you this horse.
Badai shouldered the yurt and walked away, but the stupid merchant remained standing with his mouth open.
