Listen to the legend again. Are the statements true or false? Correct the false statements. Once upon a time there lived Tolubai Synchy who was famous for his wisdom, many sayings and proverbs. It is believed that he was a real person who lived in the fourteenth or fifteenth century. Tolubai Synchy was renowned for being a "sayapker," an expert on horses, and a soothsayer. Once he was sitting in the mountains, holding a horse's skull in his hands, and he complained bitterly. At this time, Janybek Khan was riding past Tolubai Synchy. He saw Tolubai, rode up to him and asked why he was so sad. Tolubai replied: "That was a good horse, but fell into bad hands." Then Janybek Khan called him to his place, so that he would choose a good horse from his herd. Janybek Khan showed him all his horses. But Tolubai did not choose any of them. Suddenly, he saw a poor man dragging a horse, carrying firewood, and exclaimed: "Here is a magnificent horse!" Janybek Khan got angry at Tolubai. He thought that he was laughing at him, and ordered his servants to gouge out his eyes. Tolubai Synchy asked Janybek Khan to give him this horse and he agreed. For exactly forty days the horse was under his good supervision. Since Tolubai could not see, his wife was taking care of the horse. He told her when to give the horse water, when to give him oats, and when to set him free. On the fortieth day, Tolubai Synchy ordered his wife to saddle the horse. Then they rode up to Janybek Khan's yurt. Tolubai Synchy showed the horse to him and told him to try to catch them.
