I shall tell of a story that has been a mystery to our people for many generations, a story which some believe is true. Once a man called Darbesho(Dar-bee-sho) took his herd to the meadows in the direction of the hanuman mon for grazing as was the tradition in Hunza.Upon arriving he let his herd graze and laid down on the grass for a nape, when he laid down to sleep a shout came "Darbesho Darbesho" he woke up and saw a beautiful maiden looking down at him. she said" My father is calling" . When darbesho herd this he quickly got up and followed the beautiful maiden. They walked and soon came near Hanuman mon(mon means a giant rock or a hill). On approaching a door came out of the mountain and darbesho entered following the girl. When he entered he saw an old man with a golden mustache and there were seven beautiful girls sitting by him with sitars . The old man asked his daughters to play a tune for darbesho and asked darbesho to dance. The girls started playing with such sweet voices but darbesho hesitated, seeing this the old man spoke " Do not fear my son, i am your grandfather. My name is mon-uh-lum dado. These are my daughters and this one is my wife" said Mon-uh-lum dado. Hearing this Darbesho danced without fear. Mon-uh-lum dado asked his wife to get some diram bread for darbesho( diram bread is a special kind of sweet bread found in hunza) . After darbesho ate the bread. mon-uh_lum dado asked one of his daughters to lead darbesho back from where he came. One of the maidens got up and took darbesho back to his house. After this darbesho felt sleepy and slept. When he woke up again he thought it was all a dream but then he remembered it wasn't. He got out and told all of his friends about what happened. Upon hearing this all of them were amazed.
