Baylar, olar ózderi de bir kýn bolsa da, dәulet qonyp, dýniyening jarymy basynda túr. Ózinde joqty malymenen satyp alady. Kónilderi kókte, kózderi aspanda, adaldyq, adamdyq, aqyl, ghylym, bilim - eshnәrse maldan qymbat demeydi. Mal bolsa, qúday taghalany da paralap alsa bolady deydi. Onyng dini, qúdayy, halqy, júrty, bilimi, úyaty, ary, jaqyny - bәri mal. Sózdi qaytip úqsyn, úghayyn dese de, qoly tie me?

Onyng ózgemenen isi joq, ana aldyndaghy ýsheuindey bolghan jannyng oiynda eshbir qayghysy, múny bolmasa kerek.
