Sons of Baikal
Many people have already heard the legend of Baikal and his beauty — daughter Angara, who escaped from her father to her beloved Yenisei.
But few people know what happened after. Let’s listen.
The old grey-haired Baikal was very worried about the escape of his daughter and soon he fell ill. Nothing pleased him. The children thought for a long time how to help their father, but no one knew how to cure the old man. All treatments were useless …
Then the eldest daughter Selenga climbed to the top of a high mountain and, sobbing, asked her wind helpers
— O powerful winds, you are everywhere; you know everything in the world, help our father to cure.
The winds set off. Three days and three nights traveled throughout Siberia and returned on the fourth day.
-We flew around Siberia from the Mongolian steppes to the northern icy seas, but never heard anything about healing medicine, said the chief of the winds Kultuk.
The children of Lake Baikal were even more saddened, but then the last wind Verkhovik flew in. He planted around the sons of Lake Baikal and began to tell them.
— I was in a distant forest and met with an old witch. She said that there were wonderful magic stones in the world that can heal from any diseases. We had no much time and if you didn’t find these stones, Baikal would ill. Sit on my back, I will quickly deliver you to her. He bought the sons to the old hut in an instant
-Good luck to you! — the wind shouted flying away. I would have stayed with you, but I had a lot to do.
The eldest son, Urbukan, knocked on the hut.
The witch opened the door. She was a hunched old woman, of a tidying appearance, with long shaggy hair. Seemingly she was not one hundred years old
-Why have you come,- the old woman asked
— Our father fell ill, we were told that you knew about magic stones,- Urbukan began.
— I know something about them,- the witch smiled mysteriously.
-What kind of stones are these, can they cure our father,” cried impatiently Barguzin
— There are 7 of them: charoite, lapis lazuli, seraphinite, jade, carnelian, aquamarine, tourmaline. Each stone is unique and has its own magical power. They heal from diseases, bring good luck, protect. But if you put all the stones together, they will fulfill any desires.
— We want our father Baikal to become healthy and he lives forever. And we will protect him — exclaimed the middle son of Khara-Murin.
-Live forever,- the old woman thought.
-Maybe you know where to look for them, help us,- said Urbukan.
-I know,- the old woman answered. — They are in the mountains not far from here. But not everyone can take them, a person with bad thoughts and black heart will never find them.
-Grandma, take us there, please. — The sons prayed. — We will not regret any treasures for you; just help us to save our father.
— Well, I do not need your treasure;- the old woman smiled treacherously. — Take my hand, I will take you to the mountain.
The sons of Baikal took the witch by the hand and immediately they were at the mountain.
-Follow me,- the old woman ordered.
They followed the witch. The young men wandered for a long time through the labyrinths of the cave.
Finally the witch said:
- Come. Now look for the magic stones, and then you should see them.
The young men began to search.
— I have found!- shouted Barguzin. In his hands there were multi-colored pebbles. Soon other brothers held gems in their palms.
— Now our father will recover,- cried the brothers joyfully.
— Let me see,- said the old woman. — I need to make sure that these are the stones.
The brothers gave her gems.
These are really they. Nice to meet you.
And in an instant the old woman disappeared.
The brothers rushed after her, but it was too late, the passage was littered with stones.
-That’s an old liar! Get it to me! — Barguzin was angry
-It is unlikely that we will get out of here,- Urbukan sadly said.-
When Angara escaped, the father fell ill, and if we did not return, he would die of grief in everything. — The younger brother Irkut cried
It was very quiet in the cave.
-Who is crying? — Suddenly there was a voice- Who offended you?
It was a little old man in a pointed hat.
-Who are you?- asked Urbukan.
— I am the master of this mountain.- Answered the old man. What happened with you?
The brothers told him everything
- Don’t worry. These gems cannot belong to an evil person. Even if he managed to steal them, then in a few minutes they would return back to the cave. Here they are.
The old man showed the stones in his hands.
-I see, you are good guys, love your father. Pick up the stones. And to get out of this cave I will turn you into rivers.
The young men thanked the old man, turned into stormy rivers and headed home.
Their father was waiting for them at home. The sons handed the stones to his father and inhaled Baikal with renewed vigor. Here is such a legend about Baikal. Do not believe? And these people still find these stones at the mouths of the rivers Urbukan, Khara-Murin, Barguzin, Irkut.
