KELOGLAN (baldman) and NASREDDIN HODJA (Turkish story) Özel Diltaş İlköğretim Okulu
Keloglan went to town for selling the chicken. When he arrived at the bazaar he started to search for costumers for his chickens. One man gave him one piece of gold for chickens. But keloglan didn’t accept this. Keloğlan said ‘’I want two pieces of gold for two chıckens. Then, the man said:’’Look keloglan, I have got a treasure map. I’m lonely and I get older. Therefore I haven’t looked for the treasure. I was working in a nobleman’s mansion. He gave this treasure map to me. If I can get the chickens you can get the map, you can look for the treasure, find it and be happy forever. Keloglan believed him, and they exchanged. Keloglan went back to his town and he was very tired. His mother: Ohh, my son my pumpkin son ! ! How did you take this paper instead of 2 chickens!? You would sell the chickens and you would buy some gas and some salt. He deceived you. Now, you sit in the dark and you eat meals without salt. Keloglan didn’t care. He only thought about the treaure, he got up early. He said to his mother: ‘’Mum, I am going to look for treasure. I prepared some food. Don’t have the gas, you can sleep early, don’t have the salt, you can take from neighbours. If I can find the treasure, I am going to make you live like a queen. He kissed his mother’s hand. His mother noticed her son’s determination and she changed her mind. ‘’Goodbye Keloglan, I hope you can find the treasure ‘’. Keloglan looked for it many days and finally he found the well that is showed in the map. Treasure was inside the well. But how could he go inside the well? Then he reminded Nasreddin Hodja who is supposed to be good at these kind of things.
