Far beyond the sea the country Pygmies. The highest increase in the people there were three chi (not more meters), while the smallest – just a few tsuney (no more than ten centimeters). Vozdelyvaya field dwarfs are very afraid that their shvatyat fierce white cranes. But, fortunately, in the neighboring country were zdorovennye detiny ten Zhang growth (that is, about thirty feet), and they helped karlikam shoo cranes.
The country Swan lived dwarfs, whose growth does not exceed seven tsuney (about twenty centimeters). These kids were very polite: jealous man – and Weigh kotow. They were moving at a speed of wind and the day could be thousand miles (about five kilometers). Dwarfs are very afraid of sea swans, as these birds proglatyvali them alive, but they continued to live in the belly of swans.
If the country was populated by tiny people who were, of course, the country inhabited by giants. About these huge lot of people tell entertaining stories.
Tribe giants kuafu lived in the big desert in the north. The people of this tribe had been a huge growth and have great power, but were very kind and peaceful. He lived among them a giant who has committed a reckless, but an impressive offense. This daredevil once burned a great desire to catch up with the sun and posostyazatsya with him in the running. Giant pomchalsya on plain huge steps, like wind, in pursuit for the care of the west sun. In the end, he overtook a luminary in the valley Yuygu – on the edge of the world where the sun completes his daily route. Flame-red ball was in front of him. Giant has been in its rays, happily raspravil bogatyrskie shoulders, intending to catch the sun. But he ran all day and very tired, and the sun zhglo it so that the unprecedented severity skovala whole body giant mouth and he peresohlo. He then lay on the ground and began to drink water from the rivers of the Yellow River and Veyshuy – in a flash peresohli the two rivers, and giant still terzala thirst. He ran to the north, to drink the water of Great Lakes – Datsze. But the force has already left him, and the giant died halfway. Like the mountain, he fell to the ground, and the roar of his fall spread to the plain, has shaken the mountains and rivers. Before his death, he threw a stick, and it immediately turned into a thick grove green peach with succulent fruit. These fruits have been designed for those who followed let him catch the sun.
Not less persistence and perseverance in reaching this goal differed soplemennik giant, gnavshegosya sun. In the northern mountains lived devyanostoletny giant, which people called Yu-gun – Stupid grandfather. Directly in front of his house were two big mountains, and he was very uncomfortable each time to circumvent them. He called all his homework – and adults, and young – and has been to keep the Council. The old man offered rodicham nadoevshie move mountains to another place so they do not close the road. The sons and grandsons supported Yu-Guna. Only Syani, the wife of an old man, was reasonable. She heard that her husband is going to move mountains, and tried to bring him, saying: «All right, let’s say you sdvinesh them, but where do you денешь many stones and clay?» But stupid grandchildren Yu-Guna said: «assigned to the Gulf Bokhai , does not this way? »Work began immediately. Adults and young giants were digging the ground, pulled into the clay baskets, and collected komya clay and stones peretaskivali Bokhai to the lagoon, which had to win more than half a year. One fellow Yu-Guna, a wise old man Zhi-Sow, went to Glupomu grandfather, to reason with him: «Utihomirsya, old, in your years that something you can do with those mountains?» But Yu-gun firmly objected: «Is Do not you see that I am going to die – because there are sons, sons will die – the grandchildren will have grandchildren born children. If we are down from generation to generation will work, what really frightened that equals the mountain! »Nothing answered wise old man, because I did not find the words to argue it. But the words Glupogo grandfather accidentally heard a heavenly spirit. Frightened that really so, and will from both gore nothing left, he hurried to report to the heavenly lord. However, the ruler of heaven touched determination Yu-Guna, and he has sent to help the old man two incredibly powerful giants, who were able to shoulder these mountains and move one to the north, and another – on the south.
It looks like giants generally characterized by force of spirit. But perhaps all surpassed in this respect giant Sintyan who venture to fight with the Supreme heavenly Bishop Juan de power over the world. Juan de rebels cut off the head and zakopal it at the foot of the mountain. Then the headless giant made its sostsov eye of the navel – the mouth, and took the hands of a shield and spear, and began to perform martial dance.
