Bayaghyda bir auylgha elde joq danyshpan kelip qonys teuipti. Ol bala bitkendi erekshe jaqsy kóredi eken. Ýnemi kóshening bala-shaghasynyng ortasynda oinap jýredi. Olargha syilyq jasaghandy jany jaqsy kóripti. Biraq óte nәzik, әlsiz nәrselerdi syilaydy eken. Balalar qansha úqypty bolsa da, oiynshyqtary tez synyp qala beredi. Bala-shaghanyng kónili búzylyp, jylap qala beredi eken. Sәl uaqyttan song danyshpan jana oiynshyq jasap berip, kónilin aulaydy. Onysy aldynghysynan da nәzik bolady. 

Bir kýni topty ata-ana shyday almay aqsaqalgha kelip, púshayman qaldaryn aityp, odan nege búlay dep súrapty: 

— Sen kóregen adamsyn, bizding balamyzgha tek jaqsylyq tileytinine shýbamyz joq. Olay bolsa, olargha nege tez synatyn osal oiynshyq jasap beresin? Qansha múqiyat qarap oinasa da oiynshyq degen mort synyp qala beredi. Bala jylaydy. Al, oiynshyqtaryng biri-birinen ótedi, sonday tartymdy, oinamay túrmau qiyn. 

— Endi az ghana uaqyt ótken son, — dep jymidy danyshpan, — ómir jolynda kez bolghan jan olargha óz jýregin úsynady. Osal oiynshyqpen oinaghany ózgening nәzik jýregin baghalauyna sәl de bolsa sebi tiyer, - degen eken.
