In ancient times, in one village there lived a beautiful woman. She had a husband, but other village residents also liked her. But three men especially persistently sought her love - one of them was an aul effendi.
The woman told her husband that these men always find a chance to make a date with her. Her husband advised her:
“Tomorrow I will pretend that I went on a raid, and you invite all three to your place in one evening - just assign each a different time.”
And so they did. The next day the husband got ready, saddled his horse and set off. And the woman, as agreed, made a date with the men.
When it got dark, the husband returned to the village through the backyards and took cover under a canopy - he began to wait for guests.
At the appointed hour the first man arrived. The woman told him to quickly undress. As soon as he took off his clothes, there was a knock on the door.
- What should I do? – the first guest asked in fear.
“Hurry up and hide in the pantry and sit there quietly,” the woman answered.
The first guest hid in the pantry, and the woman opened the door and let in the second Aul resident. And she ordered him to quickly undress, but before he could approach the bed, there was a knock on the door again. And the woman sent this guest to the pantry, and she herself went to open it.
The effendi came third. And the woman ordered him to quickly undress.
He barely had time to take off his clothes when there was a knock on the window - it was the husband, who had been watching what was happening through the glass all this time. The frightened effendi ran around the room, not knowing where to hide.
“It’s my husband knocking, get into the cradle quickly,” the woman said.
What was the effendi to do? He climbed into the cradle, the woman threw a blanket over him and went to open it. The husband entered the house and asked:
“There’s no one in the room, but I heard your voice.” Who were you talking to?
- How come there’s no one? I talked to my son.
- And that in my absence a son was born to us?
- As you can see, he was born.
– What a blessing – we now have a son! Let me take a look at him.
The woman walked up to the cradle and pulled back the cover.
- Wollagi, this is interesting - he was just born, and not only did he have a beard, but he also had teeth. Woe to us if this child grows up and turns into a bully. Before it's too late, we need to knock out his teeth. I'll go get the tools.
And the husband pretended to be looking for a hammer and chisel. Here the effendi could not stand it, jumped up naked and ran out into the street together with the cradle.
The two who were in the storeroom broke out the window and also ran away, without even taking their clothes.
The swag about this incident spread throughout the entire village, and no one else from the village dared to seek the love of the beauty.
