«Quyruğun qıssa, qısar, qısmasa da, men qısdırırma», – dep janıydı Hamit. – İgi jaza bilgen adam tabıb, tarığıw jazdırırğa kerekdi, anı eltib berirge kerekdi. Okrugnu südüsü alanı quyruqların qısdırır, – dedi Zalihan."If he backs down, he backs down; and if he doesn't, I'll make him back down," Hamit fumes. "We must find someone who writes well and have a complaint written out, and it has to be taken and handed in. The district court will make them pull their tails in," said Zalihan.
