Synopsis: The tale tells the story of two brothers who have to go fishing to feed themselves in order to survive. When the eldest son of both brothers, Gyurmey, catches a beautiful fish, he always cuts off the head of the fish and gives the body to his younger brother, Jugyal. The latter, not understanding this symbolic gesture, is persuaded that if his brother keeps the head of the fish it is just because it is the best part. A feeling of deep jealousy starts to brew. During a fishing trip with his older brother, Gyurmey as proudly walks towards Jugyal with a big fish, Yugyal, full of hatred, pushes him into the water and runs away with the catch, allowing the waves to take his brother. Back home, Yugyal, in his turn, is now able to savour this head, which he considers as a delicious dish. Suddenly he realizes his terrible error. His older brother, loved him so much that he had sacrificed himself during every meal by keeping the head for himself. This small head, so hard, and on which there is only a cartilage to be eaten. Yugyal, moved by this discovery, rushes to the sea to find his lost brother, but in vain because Gyurmey has been swept away by the sea. Not forgiving himself for his callous act, Yugyal roams over the waters for days, nights, months, years...The legend, such as it would seem, is that his soul changed into a magnificent weeping bird, which would fly over the sea, tiressly calling for his lost brother.
