The jury
Sunday, June 27th, 2010 at 5:00 pm by Gulnaz (for Papa)Papa went to the aitysh of akyns in Kyzyl-Adyr with Jumabai ata, who was in the jury, and sat in the second row. He said the girl was good. He also said that Jumabai gave the boy nine and a half and "the Tian Shan wept". Jumabai told him to be quiet.
They went home by the long road and stopped at the apiary, where Jumabai sat for an hour on a stone among the hives and the bees walked over his hat and he did not move. Papa says only an akyn can sit like that.
Grandfather says he was thinking of a verse. It is not finished.
