A GIRL AND THE MOON
(a Kyrgyz fairy-tale)
Whether it was so or not, nobody knows - but once upon a time there lived a little orphan girl. Her father and mother died, leaving her an old camel
The little orphan girl sold the camel to buy herself clothes and meat.
But the clothes soon wore out and the meat was also gone. So the girl went to see a rich relative who was a bai.
He was a cruel bai, and his wife was even worse. She let the girl stay with them to make work for them.
From that day the orphan girl lived and toiled, bringing firewood, making the fire, cleaning the boz ui, milking the cows and carrying water.
But the bai and his wife knew only to beat her.
One winter night the bai and his wife sent her to fetch some water and gave her an axe to make a hole in the ice
The girl came to the river, worked hard to make a hole in the ice, filled two buckets with water and started back home.
Suddenly she fell into the snow and spilt the water.
She was too weak to go back to the river and too afraid to go home in case her masters would beat her to death.
So she stood there for a long time, tears falling from her eyes and onto the ground, turning into ice.
The girl wanted to tell somebody of her condition but there was not a living thing around. The only thing her eyes could see was the Moon that
was moving slowly across the clear sky.
The girl then spoke to the Moon
"At least you be sorry for me! 1 haven't heard a kind word ever since the day I was orphaned. I'm always beaten and nobody on earth takes pity on me.
Hardly had she said this, when the Moon came down and stood next to her.
But the Sun also heard the girl's words and when the Moon was down on the earth, he, too came down and stood next to her.
The Sun and the Moon started to fight over the girl. The Sun proved to be stronger, and when he was quite near victory, the Moon begged:
"Mighty Sun, you give life to all living things on earth. I do beseech you, give me this poor orphan. You go your round in daytime and always see life and movement. I travel at night, silent and lonely, when all living things are fast asleep. Let me at least have this girl."
The Sun felt sorry for the Moon and agreed to let her have the poor girl.
The Moon kissed the poor orphan,
embraced her, picked up her buckets
and the yoke, and flew back to the sky
If you look closely at the Moon on
a clear frosty night, you'll see a girl
sitting on it with a yoke on ber
shoulder and two buckets handing
from the yoke.
And as long as the Moon lives in
the sky, the little girl will always stay
with her
