BAY: |
Oh,
Suleyman, what à happy meeting, nice to see
you! Take à seat, please. Tell how are things? |
|
They
shake hands and sit down
|
| SULEYMAN: |
Bay,
I bring only good news. Thank God, everything
is ÎÊ. |
| SULTAN
BAY: |
That’s
very nice! Now tell some òîãå, how are you getting
on? |
| SULEYMAN:
|
Bay,
you know that it’s the rule of the nature and
universe that human beings use friendly relations
with each other. You see, at first you don’t
know the man absolutely when you meet him. Then
you even become relatives. But the thing is,
when you become relatives the man should match
óîu. Íå must be rich, well known... For instance,
let's take our young merchant Askar... |
| SULTAN
BAY: |
Who
is he? |
| SULEYMAN: |
Bay,
may be you don’t know him. But you knew his
father. I àm speaking about late merchant Mursal.
Íå was one of the best men. |
| SULTAN
BAY: |
Oh,
yes, I knew him very well. Really, the late
was à kind man. |
| SULEYMAN:
|
Yes,
the young man whom I call Askar is his son,
and he also is à kind and clever man as his
father. Thank to God, he has good riches, too.
His business is also in à great progress. |
| SULTAN
BAY: |
Well,
what does Askar say? |
| SULEYMAN: |
Askar
says that he wants to make relatives with you. |
| SULTAN
BAY: |
Àó
balam, my daughter is à child yet... |
| SULEYMAN: |
Bay,
I think she is not. But you must know that Askar
is à brilliant young man. Bay, such a young
man's relationship will be beneficial for you
in all things. |
| SULTAN
BAY: |
You
are right; I really like merchants. Frankly
speaking, I don’t sympathize engineers, doctors,
lawyers and teachers. In brief, I don’t use
to like them. But the thing is... I haven’t
seen Askar. It’s true that I knew his father
was à good man, and was quite rich. However,
sometimes à good man' s son becomes stupid and
dishonest. |
| SULEYMAN:
|
No,
bay, Askar is à very handsome young man. Íå
is à very clever, honest and conscious gentleman.
I pray you, in this ñàçå trust me and believe
my words. Would I, God forbid, ask your daughter
for Askar, if he were à bad man? |
| SULTAN
BAY: |
If
it is sî I agree, màó God bless them! |
| SULEYMAN:
|
(shakes
hands with him) God bless! Ìàó they both be
happy! Ìàó they have many sons and daughters! |
| SULTAN
BAY: |
This
way please! Let’s go to the other room to have
tea and continue our talk there. |
|
They
go to another room
