«Bizden qalğanlağa da atanı-babanı bilirge, tuwğannı-tuwduqnu tergerge borçdu. Alanı unutub, jaşawnu qıymatı bolluq tüyüldü», – dep, Musanı ma bılay aythanına eki qulağım şağatdı dep, Gudownu, Gitçe-ulannı atasını aythanın kesim eşitgenme.I myself heard the father of Gudou and Gitche-Ulan say: "My two ears are witness that Musa said exactly this: 'Those who come after us also have a duty to know their fathers and forefathers and to keep count of their kin. Forget them, and life will have no worth.'"
