The Legend of Alpamys Batyr.

Once upon a time , in the land of Zhideli Baisyn, there was a noble man called Baibory . He was from the Konyrat tribe of the Orta zhuz and he was fabulously wealthy . He had vast lands , a lot of gold and silver , horses and herds of cattle. But he was sad because he was old and he didn’t have any children . He prayed and miracle happened: his wife gave birth to a boy. They called him Alpamys . Baibory invited all his friends for a feast, which lasted forty days . One of the most important guests was Baisary .He recently had a daughter, Gulbarshyn, and he offered his friend Baibory to marry the children when they grow up . Baibory gladly agreed .

After several years , there was another big feast, with many horse games and competitions. The two friends competed in a kokpar game and Baisary played well, but he lost .He was very angry with Baibory because he thought his friend played worse and won the game unfairly . Soon after that , Baisary and his family moved to live far away , in the Kalmak country .

Time passed and Baibory’s son Alpamys grew up a strong,brave young man . People compared him with the snow leopard : they said he fought more fearlessly than the other warriors. He could jump higher than anyone else and he ran the fastest , too. No one could ride a horse as well as Alpamys could .

When he was 14, Alpamys went to his father’s stable to choose a horse. He mounted the biggest horse, Baishubar, and rode for many days and nights. The horse took him further and further into the steppe until they reached the Kalmak country. Finally, the horse stopped on top of a hill. In the distance , Alpamys could see a large army. Then he looked down and saw some words written on a rock on the ground. The first word was his name, but he could see the rest less clearly because the letters were smaller. He got off the horse to read the inscription. It was a message for him from Gulbarshyn, Baisary’s daughter.
