A man had seven wives, all of them were pregnant. Every day the man would give his clothes to one of them to wash. He divided all the housework between them so that everyone could play a part in the work. When they washed their clothes, they realized that all of them were dirty and needed to be washed again. Every woman would come back to wash her clothes.This was repeated every day, and everyone’s mind was busy.
One day, as in the old days, one of the women put the clothes in a big wash and went to the stream to wash them. This time, the man also went behind her secretly. Somewhere nearby, he lurked behind a rock to find out what the secret behind it was. As the woman washed her clothes and spread the rope and came back to wash the other, the man turned his attention to the clothes she had hung on the strap. Suddenly a woman came in with no trace of her. The man slowly stepped forward, and jumped up and grabbed her wrist as the woman reached out to take off the first clothes and hurriedly slid behind a tree while no one noticed anything. He asked, “Who are you? Do you treat this to my women every day? “What have they done, and why are you wasting their time every day? What do you do with my clothes?” The woman (Parijan) said, “Don’t say anything! Just listen to me. I’m pregnant. You must bring disaster on your wives so, you can marry me. “If you do that, nothing will happen to your clothes anymore and you will live a comfortable life.” The man who was surprised said to her, “I have seven women, all of them are pregnant. What can I do? I can’t do anything, if you have a solution for me to follow. The woman already had some mud, prayed over it and gave it to him and said, “Pour into their eyes so their eyes will be blind.” The man got up next to the woman and proceeded to execute the woman’s plan. He poured some of that mud into each of his wives’ eyes, they were all blind. Then he imprisoned them all in a well. When the time came for their delivery, they gave birth to their babies. They had nothing to eat and ate their kids. The last woman had not yet been born.
To save his life, each woman would give some of her children’s meat to eat. But she ate no meat and pretended to have eaten. While hiding the flesh under her clothes. Her hooves asked her, “We don’t see you eating anything. What are you doing? “The little woman would tell them that I had nothing to do with you and that I would not ask you any questions. Why do you become so scared of me? What do you do with me? Her baby was born and that was the time for the delivery of the baby.
The mother hid him somewhere out of the sight of everyone. Everyone was asking her, so why not kill your kids? Why don’t you let to eat us? We look forward to eating your child’s meat. All of us killed our children and ate except your baby, let us kill and eat. The woman shook her hand and pulled out pieces of dried meat and threw in front of them and said, “These are the meat you gave me in the past days. I haven’t eaten anything.” I’m not killing my baby. Why should I kill my baby? He is the only one that I have in the world. I love him so much I can’t kill him. The other women became very angry and demanded the member of the child from the woman .The woman was trying to get away from them to save her only child. He grew bigger and bigger and he obeyed his mother. Through the power of God the woman was able to send her son out of the well. He went to his father.
Parijan was married to his father, cooking meals and doing housework every day. She would give every meal she made to her husband and the boy that named Khak andaz. The boy gathered all of the leftovers into a container and threw them into the well, hidden the eyes of the father, so that his mother and grandchildren would not go hungry. Her father’s wife witnessed the disappearance of her clothes every day and could see that whatever was left of the food would be gone, but he didn’t know that Khak andaz was doing it. She monitored and followed his movements. Until one night, she realized that everything was stolen from the house by Khak andaz. Parijan, which had a large tribe (of course, its tribe was snake, mice, lizards, wolves, hyenas, and other animals) no longer allowed him to leave the house. His mother and grandparents were dying in the well, and no one was aware of them. Parijan, whose husband’s son had been hard-pressed to her (had taken care of his father’s mother and wives and prevented them from dying), wrote a letter to her relatives and tribes (predators and insects) and handed it to him. Parijan wrote in the letter that when this boy came to you eat him! But the Khak andaz did not know the contents of the letter. He had no choice but to obey his father’s wife. He went to the desired point. When he went into the dungeon, no one was there. The only one he saw was a little girl with a yogurt bowl in front of her and a big snake in her hand. She grabbed the snake’s head and dipped it in yogurt and said, “Li li li li li li eat yogurt! Eat Zira Berenjas. Khak andaz sat next to the little girl and looked at her with surprise. When his eyes got used to the black, he suddenly looked around at himself and the little girl and saw around them and on the ledges, a lot of glass. He asked the girl what are these jars? And for whom? The girl said: One for my father, one for my mother, one for my sister, one for my brother, one for my niece, one for my uncle, and every glass is for one of my relatives and relatives.
He counted one by one all his relatives. But the one that is more laid back for my dearest Parijan’s sister. Khak andaz was very angry from Parijan, and his bowl of patience was filled by his father’s wife, when heard the name of Parijan, got up and grabbed a wooden board and broke all the jars of Parijan’s relatives. Even the girl who was talking to him a few moments ago. The girl smoked once and went into the air. A number of animals and insects realized that Khak andaz in their dungeons were about to enter, one by one their glass of life had broken and disappeared. He broke all the jars and destroyed all of Parijan’s friends. Only the glass of Parijan life remained. He picked it up and headed to his father’s house. Parijan, on the other hand, was not calm and waiting for news from his friends and relatives about the boy’s death. The digger came in with a glass of John Parijan in his hand. As soon as Parijan’s eye fell on the ground and she saw the glass in his hand, she knew the situation was very bad and she had to do something. She went to the Khak Andaz and greeted him very kindly and welcome my son, where have you been until now? Set up. And screaming from afar, my son, lest you betray the trust you have in hand! But you don’t hear the ear.
He was only thinking about revenge. He was a shrewd boy, not deceived by Parijan’s words, and as he was approaching Parijan, the glass slammed into his stone and broke. Parijan fell down and his life was cut off. From the power of the Lord the boy (as if he were an angel) tore apart Parijan’s belly, pulled out his bowels, and tore it apart and left it under the sun to dry. Then he made a powder with it and read it on Verdi and immediately went to his mother and his grandsons. He called them and poured the powder over their wells on top of them. They all saw and came out of the well with the help of the boy. The Khak andaz went to his father and told him the whole story. The father regrets having eaten the spell and the sorceress. Mother and mother-in-law returned home and continued their normal lives as before.
