The Origin of Ancient Kyrgyz Tribes

About the Book

Once upon a time, there lived one fatally unhappy family. Father was diligent, industrious, and even had good education but was unlucky. Mother was nice, lovely, and as housewife, was very good and competent, and children Hans and Gretel were very obedient, smart, and curious, but nevertheless the family business was not going well. It might be explained with two kinds of preposition. First, their time was hard, and government and states and common leaders and elders have not managed this country well and deeply suffered from corruption and other common calamities. And second, this family, some people said, suffered from bad affliction; they lived in the countryside on the border of the great black forest and possibly fall down from negative power and forces of witches or other bad creatures inhabiting the depths of forest. (from “Hansel and Gretel”)
