In ancient times there lived a mighty Khan in the world. And he lived in a country that Khan’s great sage and healer Luhman-Hekim. Was Luhman-Hekim straightforward and kind to people, and boldly denounced all the machinations of a proud Khan.
Disliked him for that Khan and once commanded him in prison. Luhmana thrown into a deep pit and covered the top tysyachepudovym stone.
Thought Khan to get rid of the so-sage, but would be proud to fight with wisdom? Was at Luhmana-Hekima flask with a wonderful balm, which he made from various herbs. Every day he takes a sip a few drops of this vessel, and flew past him hunger and thirst as the wind past the old plane tree. For many years spent Luhman-Hekim in prison without the sun and fresh air. Khan had already died, and the sage continued to remain alive in their custody. And the thought of all that long ago rotted away in prison, even bones Luhmana-Hekima.
That rose to power a new Khan. Even more menacing and unjust it was. Flowing streams of blood from his wicked deeds, and great were the misfortunes of the people.
But then it happened that the very fate of the new Khan punished for his sins. Didst send it to Khan’s grave incurable disease. Khan took possession of the body numb, and he could not move a limb. No matter how trying the court doctor to cure his master, it was all in vain, there were no funds to facilitate disease, and it grew with each passing day more and more.
Khan came into a rage and commanded to cut off the heads of the innocent without mercy healers.
And there appeared one day to the Khan and some old man said to him:
- Oh, a worthy successor to his father, the almighty king of kings. If you were alive Luhman-Hekim, then he would have found a means to facilitate your illness. Only he could heal thee and drive away Satan from your couch.
- Tell me about it Luhmane – ordered Khan. The old man shook his head and a long time made no answer. Then he looked at the Khan, and said:
- Listen, sir, but do not be angry and ordered to bring me to death. Never had a wiser man than this Luhman-Hekim, since he tasted the mysteries of the universe and knew the keys to human health. But he was a healer of the poor and condemned the rulers, oppressing the people unbearable burden. And your father was ordered to execute him for this grave and undeserved death. Luhmana he threw into a pit and piled over the entrance tysyachepudovy stone. Two hundred new moons have passed since then and no more, perhaps, the dust from the greatest of sages.
