Based on the Buryats - Mongolian fairy tale by Malyarevsky. Once a brave and honest shepherd Bair rescued from the claws of a black vulture a magic bird. The bird thanked the shepherd by presenting him with a magic chest. All that fell into this chest, it became new and doubled. The greedy merchant Galsan heard about the wonderful gift of the bird and deceived the chest from Bair.
