A khan's shepherd fell in love with the beautiful daughter of his lord. He came to propose to her. But she, laughing, said to him: "If you bring me the star Cholpon, I will become your wife." The young man returned home in despair. His mother asked him why he was sad. The son told her about his sorrow. His mother comforted him, asking him not to be sad. She had long hair. She cut it and began to weave a rope. And she wove it very long. The young man climbed up this rope to the sky, got the star Cholpon, and joyfully brought it to his beloved. But she had already married a wealthy khan. The young man returned the star to the sky.
And since then, the star Cholpon appears in the sky when the khan's daughter falls asleep and disappears at dawn.
