Once upon a time, there was a khan. The khan had a daughter. Her name was Aiy-Sulu, and she was as beautiful as the moon. One day, an evil sorcerer saw her and wanted to steal her. Meanwhile, her father intended to marry his daughter off to another khan.
As Aiy-Sulu was being carried in a palanquin, the sorcerer kidnapped her. The hunters chased after him. The sorcerer flew into the sky and asked the Golden Column: “Hide me, or they will catch me.” The Golden Column replied: “I have no intention of hiding you.” And the sorcerer flew on.
At that moment, the hunters arrived and asked: “Did the sorcerer fly by here?”
— Yes, he did fly by,— said the Golden Column.
And to this day, the sorcerer with the girl and the hunters fly around the Golden Column.
