A man in need of money asks his master to help him. The farmer puts him to the test: if he spends the whole night in the mountains, he will receive a great reward. (...) He asks his best friend, Aydi, if it is not crazy to enter such a bet. - I'll help you. Tomorrow, when you're up on the mountain, look ahead. I will be there on top of the neighboring mountain, I will spend the whole night there with a bonfire lit for you. Just look at the fire, think about our friendship, and that will keep you warm. It will work, see, and then I'll ask for something in return. Ali passed the test, took the money and went to his friend. - You said you wanted payment... - Yes, but not money. Promise me that once the cold wind blows through my life, you will light the fire of friendship for me.

Hungarian

"Egy férfi, akinek pénzre volt szüksége, megkéri a gazdáját, hogy segítsen neki. A gazda próbára teszi: ha az egész éjszakát a hegyekben tölti, nagy jutalmat kap. (...) Megkérdezi legjobb barátját, Aydit, nem őrültség-e belemenni egy ilyen fogadásba. - Segítek neked. Holnap, amikor fönt leszel a hegyen, nézz előre. Én ott leszek a szomszéd hegy tetején, az egész éjszakát ott töltöm egy neked gyújtott máglyával. Te csak nézd a tüzet, gondolj a barátságunkra, és ez majd melegen tart. Sikerülni fog, meglásd, utána pedig majd én kérek valamit cserébe. Ali kiállta a próbát, elvette a pénzt és elment a barátjához. - Azt mondtad, fizetséget kérsz... - Igen, de nem pénzt. Ígérd meg, hogy ha egyszer az én életemben is átsuhan a hideg szél, meggyújtod nekem a barátság tüzét."
