The Legend of the Tarazashi
My people had always lived in harmony with nature, for the earth was our mother. Our lands stretched north to the great mountains and south to the great river. That was all we knew, none of us ever crossed beyond. My grandfather tells me stories of our people when we sit by the warmth of the campfire at night. He recounted that our ancestors had to cross the snowy peaks of the high mountains, as they were nomads who wandered without a fixed course, living off what they found along the way. Upon arriving at this beautiful place, a dream revealed to them how to cultivate the land. Now we had more than enough food and it was unnecessary to continue wandering. Our diet was mainly vegetarian, only in times of scarcity did we resort to hunting. All the living beings of the forest were part of our family, so we tried to intervene as little as possible, letting Mother Nature do her work.
When I was a child we used to play climbing trees; although it was a children's game we also took the opportunity to collect some bird eggs, always leaving at least two in each nest so that life would not be affected. We had many legends, stories that my grandfather told me. Tales of the wolf king Nazrat or a lonely animal turned demigod.
