ArtistKazakh folk tale Wise girl Once upon a time, a rich Kazakh, Edelbai, lived in the steppe. He had three sons. He married the two eldest. It was the turn of the youngest, Zhandaulet. Living independently requires intelligence and resourcefulness. To test his son, Edelbay ordered him to drive 40 goats to the market and, without selling these goats, buy 40 arshins of calico. Zhandaulet thought for a long time, but could not solve his father’s problem. Having reached the city, he asked a poor Kazakh to stay for the night. During dinner, he spoke with contrition about his father's task. The owner’s daughter, a beautiful girl, after listening to him, said: — Solving the problem is very easy. You need to remove the horns from the goats, sell them and buy calico. Zhandaulet did just that. But the father did not believe that his son had solved the problem himself, and found out how it was. Edelbay did not stand behind the bride price and married his son to a wise girl, believing that a stupid husband needs a wise wife. After some time, Edelbay went to the city. Before the trip, he asked his daughters-in-law: who should buy what?
