One upon a time, there was a place named Oguz, and there lived Duha Koca's son Deli Dumrul. He built a bridge over a dry stream, and if you wished to cross the bridge you had to pay him 33 akce (currency). If you refused to cross the bridge, he took 40 akce from you and he bludgeoned you as well. Quote:
