In ancient times, an orphan named Nausha lived among the Baibakty clan of the Younger Zhuz. Having lost his parents at an early age, he wandered for a long time until he found himself with a wealthy man from the Alim clan. There, the boy tended lambs and gradually grew into a strong and courageous young man.
The owner had large herds, but horse thieves constantly stole the horses, beating the shepherds. One day, Nausha asked permission to go on night watch himself. The owner refused for a long time, considering him too young, but finally agreed.
Nausha ordered a battle axe from a blacksmith, prepared a strong whip, and set out to guard the herd that night.
Soon, three thieves appeared and drove the horses away. Nausha rushed after them and demanded the return of the cattle. The robbers merely laughed at the young man. Then he unhorsed first two of them, then caught up with the third, tied up all three, and brought them back to the village along with the captured herd. After this, the locals began calling him "batyr." The owner gave Nausha a separate farm, and the young man continued to guard the herds. From then on, horse thieves didn't dare appear in those parts for a long time.
When Nausha decided to return to his people, the owner allowed him to choose any reward. The batyr asked only for the thin gray mare that had once approached him during a night patrol. Touched by his modesty, the rich man added a herd of horses, a hundred sheep, camels, and cows.
Later, Nausha encountered the renowned batyr Syilybay, who envied him and once publicly humiliated him. In the spring, Syilybay crossed the Zhaiyk and seized Bayuly's cattle. Nausha, with fifty horsemen, set out in pursuit.
In the duel, he broke his opponent's spear, knocked Syilybay from his saddle, and returned all the stolen property to the people. They also told of another of his heroic deeds. When a huge dragon appeared near the Shandykol and Tamdykol reservoirs, Nausha confronted the monster alone. In a fierce battle, the batyr managed to cut off its head, though he himself barely escaped with his life.

Thus, Nausha became famous not for his birth or wealth, but for his courage, determination, and willingness to protect people.
