Tuvan folk tale Why the birds don’t speak English translation
Why the birds don’t speak It had been at that time when the birds understood the human language. The eagle Darbayty lived on the mountain. Once upon a time the angry eagle sat on the top of the mountain and looked for the marmot-tarbagan getting out from the burrow.
Why the birds don’t speak He was waiting for a long time, soon he got exhausted and fell asleep. The eagle woke up from the noise of wings. The big grey hawk grabbed the tarbagan and became to peck him on the nearest hill. The eagle outraged, flew to the hawk and nearly crushed him.
Why the birds don’t speak But the hawk didn’t scare and said: - Why have you got tousled? If you want to get a chunk, ask it politely. - I don’t need in your treat! – arrogantly replied the eagle, but he nevertheless didn’t take off his greedy eyes from the tarbagan. – I just want to look how you will eat this dead tarbagan.
Why the birds don’t speak The hawk laughed loudly: - Why did you the whole day watch the tarbagan, if he is dead! The eagle answered angrily: - I didn’t look at the tarbagan. One my eye looked for the roe, another eye looked for the hare. You will never taste their meat in your life. Eat your tarbagan while it isn’t rot.
Why the birds don’t speak The eagle and the hawk strongly quarreled among themselves. Such a noise was raised that all birds rallied and decided to choose the bird’s khan, who could to disassemble the disputes. The birds clamored and noised. Everyone wanted to become a khan.
Why the birds don’t speak The eagle stepped forward and said: - I must be your khan. Nobody can fly higher than me to the heavens. - We don’t need in such khan, - the birds protested in unison. – You have got a great pride, that’s why you live alone at the unapproachable rocks. We don’t agree!
Why the birds don’t speak Then the bat stepped forward and said: - I want to be your khan. My wings are not from the feathers as yours, but from the leather. My ears hear very far.
Why the birds don’t speak The grey cuckoo got ruffled: - The bat can’t be our khan. It tells us that she is a bird, and it tells beast that she is a beast. It is flying all night and don’t give us to sleep. Not as I’m a cuckoo. In the spring the earth dresses up to the green apparel because of my singing. You can’t find better khan than me.
Why the birds don’t speak The big and small birds waved their wings. - The cuckoo wouldn’t be our khan. It doesn’t breed own chicks. The great dispute broke out, every bird offered itself to become a khan. The bird’s gathering had noised for a long time.
Why the birds don’t speak The old crow-magician sat on the top of the high cedar. He heard all discusses of birds and said: - If you can’t reach an agreement, you will never speak at all! Everybody wants to be a khan…
Why the birds don’t speak It happened so how the crow-magician had said, the birds unlearned to speak. THE END
