The legend of Ferhat&Shirin
When irin hears that Ferhat died,she runs to the rocks and sees the dead body of Ferhat. She throws herself from the rockies and her dead body lies near Ferhat. Water comes to the city with its enthusiasm but the two young people haven’t been in the world anymore. People bury them side by side. Every season, two roses grow on their graves for the lovers but a bush grows between 2 graves and seperates the two lovers and two roses.
Ferhat who is a brave young man,is a decorator (nakkas) and loves irin. He decorates the palaces, with the delicacy pouring from his brush. He explains his feeling to irin. Ferhat sends people to the Sultan of Amasya; Mehmene Banu in order to explain his feeling about irin. Since Sultan doesn’t want to give irin to him,he wants too difficult thing from Ferhat. "f you bring water to the city, I will let you marry irin" But water is ahinkaya where is a far place.
But the love of Ferhat's heart doesn’t care about this condition. Take his shovel and begins curving the rocks. Rocks are split and let water comes. As the time passes the sound of water which comes through rocks is heard from the city. When Mehmene Banu recognizes his sister is gone, he makes plans stealthily and make his men find a witch and sends to Ferhat. The witch finds Ferhat by following the water canal and listening the sound of his pickaxe. The sound of his pickaxe frightens the witch but than she laughs and say ‘Why do you curve the rocks ambitiously?irin died. I bring you her halvah.’ When he heard these words he shocked. He said ‘If irin hasn’t lived in this world anymore, living in this world is meaningless. When he throws his pickaxe, it hits on his head. He feels dizzy and his words RN! echoes in the rocks.
