Legend about the Kyrgyz origin
From the Chinese chronicles:
" The numerous enemies attacked a small but brave tribe. Nobody yielded to
entreaties. And the enemies gave them no quarter. Men were killed in battles;
women, children, old people - all were sabred. The only boy, the leader's son
was left alive. The enemies cut off both of his hands and threw him down into
the swamp with mocking words:
Let your manly tribe be regenerated from you!
During that terrible and long night the boy had been hearing mournful jackals'
howling, depressed owls' cries, snakes' rustling in riverside grass
All of a sudden he heard distant wolf's howling. A big female wolf appeared on
the edge of the swamp. The boy was so weak and helpless that he could not resist
her. She took him by the collar of his sheepskin coat and easily carried him out
of the swamp. Than she licked his wounds all over and nursed him. The boy had
been growing under her protection and after a while he turned into a handsome
young boy. But he was without his hands... and he had never seen peopleHe used
to sit near the riverside of the rapid mountain river, thinking about his bitter
destiny: he was the only one left out of the tribe and when he would die, there
would be nobody! And the most awful thing which could be fallen any nation - is
to vanish from the face of the earth. No descendants, no name, no memory The
female wolf was lying at his feet and seemed to understand his thoughts. When
the boy came to himself he saw a wonderful girl.
Who are you? Aren't you a daughter of the Sky? - He asked.
- I am the Goddess of this river. I have been sent to you in the image of the
female wolf by the Blue Sky (Tengri) to save your tribe from the eternal
unconsciousness. Now, if you wish I will become your wife.
After a while enemies killed the boy. And the female wolf run away to the Altai
Mountains and gave birth to ten sons. Each of the sons became the leader of a
powerful tribe. One of them, Kyrgyz became the ruler of people in Enisey."
