The Golden Watermelons: An Uzbek Fairy Tale

by Tomaris Ehsan

Overview

"The Golden Watermelons" is an old Uzbek fairy tale. This illustrated story shows how the good deeds of ordinary people are rewarded. There is a poor Uzbek farmer who helps an injured stork and then that stork gives him magic watermelon seeds that grow watermelons with gold inside. His neighbor is a rich farmer who hurts a stork and helps it. He gets seeds that produce watermelons full of wasps. A once-poor farmer who had shown kindness, compassion, and mercy was provided with prosperity and a good life. The story of the rich farmer who was unkind, and who wanted a profit for himself in everything, ends very sadly.
