Once Khuadzha Shardyn and his neighbor were walking along the river bank. At this time, a horseman appeared in the distance, driving the stolen bull in front of him. Shardyn immediately took the dude off one leg, threw it in the middle of the road, and sat down in the bushes. The rider noticed the dude. Jumping off the horse, he tied the bull, picked up the dude, jumped on the horse again and rushed along the road to look for the second one.
Then Shardyn and his comrade ran up to the bull, untied it, dragged it into the forest and killed it. Shardyn threw the severed head into the river.
Meanwhile, the horseman, not finding the second dude, returned back. He sees: his bull is gone. “I broke the leash and ran home,” he thought and set off along the road along the river. He looks: the water carries the head of a bull.
“The water carried away my bull,” he thought as he rode up to the shore, jumped off his horse, undressed, threw himself into the water, swam up to the bull, grabbed it by the horns and pulled out one head instead of the whole bull.
- Hey, who did this! I'll be damned if I don't catch the thief! – he boiled and ran to get dressed.
Alas, neither the clothes nor the horse were there. Huadzha Shardyn managed to steal them.
They say that whoever steals someone else’s property loses his own! - said the punished thief. – That’s what happened to me! How can I show off naked to people now?!
