Zengi Baba, the patron saint of cattle, was kind to people. Many cunning people in the old days took advantage of his simplicity and generosity for personal gain. After all, if Zengi Baba looks at anyone, he will immediately become rich. So various crooks came into his sight in crowds without any conscience. Zengi Baba finally got angry and began to turn away when people approached.
There lived a poor man in the world. The only livestock he had was a single camel. The poor man wanted a good life. He began to think about how to force Zengi-baba to look at him at least once. And I came up with it. He slaughtered the last camel, took off its skin, filled it with hay, put the stuffed animal on his back and began to circle around the steppe.
People saw him and shouted:
- Look, what a miracle: a man is carrying a camel! Zengi-baba heard this and was overcome with curiosity: how is it possible, did a man really lift a camel? The old man could not stand it and looked at the poor man. And that’s what it needs. He left home with a stuffed camel and returned with a whole herd of cows.
