Pavel Bazhov

Pavel Bazhov( 27 January 1879 – 3 December 1950) was a Russian writer Quotes The miners considered the familiar lizards and snakes merely servants and helpers. Among the lizards, one was the chief, sometimes transforming into a beautiful girl. This was the Lady of the Mountain. A huge snake, Poloz, was in charge of the snakes. All the gold was at his disposal. Poloz, at his will, could "take" the gold and bring it back. This is the Great Serpent. All the gold is his Wherever he passes people run to him He can walk on and under the ground as he pleases and go around wherever he pleases Because of this people will find for example a good vein and they will be subjected to some kind of deception or a fight or even a murder and the vein will be lost This means that the Serpent has been here and stolen the gold Then again the prospectors will find good gold well and eat it Then the office suddenly announces—Go away they say we'll take this place for the treasury and well dig it out ourselves They'll bring it cars people but the gold is gone And they'll dig deep and crawl in all directions it's gone as if it had never been The snake circled the whole place and lay there for the night and all the gold will gather around its ring Try to find where it is.
