a long, long time ago all of the people went to god to ask for land. everyone went except for the kyrgyz man because he was tending to his sheep. the people asked god for land and each person was given a piece of the world. they all left happy. the kyrgyz man came home from herding his sheep and his wife told him he needed to go ask god for land. so he went.
"god, can i have a piece of land to herd my sheep?"
"i'm sorry, but i have given everything away."
"is there anything left that i can have. please?"
"well there is one place left," said god. "but i was saving it for myself because it's paradise. you can have it because you work hard and love the land."
and that's how kyrgyzstan came to be.... paradaise.
a teacher told me that one during our conversation club today.
