Envy undoes the friendship at Kokcho's court: the Forty slander Almambet, the gift of the piebald horse is asked and refused, and Almambet rides out under a great oath. Ak Erkech pleads too late. Meanwhile Manas dreams of a falcon and a hound, and Ajy Bai reads the dream: a prince's son is coming. From the earliest written Manas, recorded from Kyrgyz singers in 1862–1869 and published by Wilhelm Radlov in 1885 (Proben der Volkslitteratur, Part V), in a fresh English translation made for KacheliTV.
