Once upon a time in our land was flat, the end-edge of which was not visible. Plain green silk grass, evergreen firs and pines, mighty beech and ash, elm and cottonwood trees, the valley flowing streams and rivers, rich in fine and coarse fish. Lord of the valley was a giant named Silun. When was Silun from his steps earth trembled. They say that Silun was a good host. Had a lot of all domestic poultry. Herds of cows and bulls and flocks of sheep, herds of horses, herds of buffaloes and pigs grazing in the meadows, roamed the forests. A bird! Thousands of ducks and geese were swimming in the ponds, a lot of clucking chickens on the farm. He lived the master of the beautiful palace of white marble, with a tall steeple, which reached the clouds. The palace was built on a hill, mound of human suffering. It was there so much room that it was easy to get lost. The room is good all uncounted! Silun night sleeping in a golden cradle, expensive carpets, carpeted, and the day resting in a silver chair. But he cared for the animals, cultivated fields, cleared in the palace and the servants. People in pain, from dawn to dusk work, wealth Siluna multiplied. Neither women nor men, neither young nor old men do not dare to leave the ownership Siluna in search of better work. They had to live and die serfs.
Among the servants worked for Siluna one guy named Karp Dnipro, who came here from the banks of the Dnieper. He went to travel more in the age of ten: search for happiness, because his father died, and his mother lived poor and he wanted to help her. Served Karp year, second, fifth. Like everyone else, mow the grass, planted wheat and oats, collecting bread. Not only for myself to work, but also helped others. Loved it all. When Karp was 20, he decided to return home. He was confident that the excellent work of the lord he will pay, and he returns home to his mother empty-handed. Only about it and thought. I kept thinking, how to talk with the pan about calculation. One night he went out into the yard. He passed by houses (people did not live in the palace, and in the wooden log cabins and dugouts, did not want the owner to the inner room stank of manure and human then) suddenly saw a shadow. Soon learned Siluna. He came to see how the beast sleeps, everything was in order. Karp decided it was time to talk with the pan.
When Silun came closer, Karp let them know about yourself cough.
"Why are you here, Carp?" - Asked Silun learned guy. - "Do not I look out the girl?"
"No, not a girl" - said Karp. - "And you, light pan. I wanted to talk. I served you honestly and for a long time, but you need to go home to his mother live catch. The fee for the service would ask. "
Silun initially thought that the man was joking, because no one ever dared to leave him. Yes and no fee required. But Karp did not think to retreat.
"I honestly serve you, my bright pan. And my work is something realties's worth. "
"You're not going!" - Infuriated pan. - "I know myself and where my servants must go."
"I go, sir." - Insisted Karp. - "Just once more I must tell you that the job should pay."
It was the unheard-of audacity, which Silun could not forgive.
"Under the earth you go, just go there, I'll let you go!" - He was angry, pointing to the ground. - "There will be your payment."
But the guy did not retreat a single step.
"For my job, sir, will pay!" - Once again the guy said if they did not hear threats of Pan.
This answer is even more angered Siluna. He flew into a rage so that his eyes were filled with blood and breath fire puffed. He grabbed it with his strong hands Karp and hit the ground. He hit so that the pit was formed. But the man stood up and felt in myself an invincible force! This is the reason, probably because he worked on it, lent strength. Karp Siluna grabbed and hit the ground, then again and again. Could not keep the land of those blows, split. And he was lord in an underground cave in which he wanted to drive a servant. But unable to get out the land was closed and could not find any cracks.
Then Silun applied his strength. Kicked in the crust, she arched her back, but did not open. He hit another, the earth swelled even more, but it did not help. I tried to punch his head, shoulders to push all in vain. But from his attacks on the earth mountain behind the mountain formed, and the more Silun beat, the more the mountains on the earth appear. But the hardest hit, where Gucul'schina, where the highest mountain. In the morning, when the servants awoke and saw what had happened, they were amazed. Around the mountains, but where was the palace of anything. Suddenly out of the ground water broke and filled the gap on the former site of the palace. People marveled and called together a council to decide how to live on. We decided to stay in that region. Lake called Senevir because blue as the sky was. A mountain was named in honor of Karp - Carpathian Mountains. People began to live a new way. But they say that Silun still not died down under the ground and tries to break out, but no longer throws a new mountains became old and weak. And do not break it ever!
