Notes	Salih Babayn's Oylenuvi is a story by Fatih Kerimî. Salih Babayn's Oylenuvi, one of the first examples of the modern story in Tatar literature, was first published in 1897. The main character of the story, Grandpa Salih, is told through the eyes of a narrator who has known him since his childhood. The reason why Grandpa Salih is loved by children is the interesting stories he tells in his unique style. Grandfather Salih tells bear, wolf, fox, goat stories, fairy and genie stories in a very interesting and entertaining way. The narrator admits that even though he read the tales of Russian Krilov and French La Fontaine when he grew up and started school, he could not find the same taste as when he listened to them from grandfather Salih. However, Grandpa Salih has one flaw. And that is taking snuff. The children gathered around him to listen to his interesting stories, and when Grandpa Salih starts to sneeze after taking snuff, they run away to protect themselves from his sneezes, even at the most interesting part of the story. Grandfather Salih explains that this habit is a habit from his childhood. The son of his teacher, who was studying at the madrasah in Bukhara, acquired the habit of snuffing and chewing tobacco, and when he returned from Bukhara, he got Salih, who was a child, accustomed to this. Grandpa Salih says that it is not easy to get rid of bad habits acquired at a young age, and advises the children not to acquire bad habits. The children, who reunite with Grandpa Salih, whose stories they miss during the summer vacation, worry about school and exams. They are surprised to see that although he knows so many stories, he has no knowledge about school and exams. They ask Grandpa Salih to tell about his youth. Grandfather Salih begins to tell what he experienced on the way to a village upon an invitation he received with a friend before he was drafted into the military. While taking a break on the road, they encounter a large group of gypsies. While watching them with curiosity from afar, they see two young girls and a boy on the bridge watching the gypsies like them. Meanwhile, Salih grandfather mentions that there is a work about gypsies by Ahmed Midhat Efendi. One of the girls attracts Salih's attention. He goes to the girls, meets them and chats with them. Even though he wants to know whose daughter he is, the girls surprise him by saying different names. He leaves the girls and goes to the village where they are invited. Salih cannot forget the young girl he saw on the bridge and liked. He thinks about how and where it might be possible to see the young girl again. He imagines that if he didn't have to go to the military, he would do whatever he could to find the girl, please her parents, and try to marry her. He never forgets the girl he chatted with on the bridge. One day, while he was lying under the tree in the garden, he heard conversations at the opposite door from behind the fence. When he goes to the fence and looks, he sees that the owner of the voice is the girl he was chatting with on the bridge. The young girl's house is opposite the house where they are staying. He would be very happy about this coincidence. They meet with the girl secretly at night. The young girl promises to wait for him until he returns from the military. Salih's military service lasts three and a half years. He is not sure whether the young girl is waiting for him when he returns from the military. He learns that the young girl constantly rejects the seers and becomes happy. Salih suits the young girl. The family consents to their marriage. At the wedding held this week, it becomes clear to everyone why the young girl has not accepted her suitors for so long. They live a long and happy life together. But grandfather Salih's wife passes away. Grandfather Salih misses his wife. When the children listening to this story ask him to tell in detail what he and the young girl talked about behind the fence, Grandpa Salih objects. For love stories, he recommends reading the novels of George Sand, Emile Zola and Alexandr Duma. The narrator says to the readers who will object to how grandfather Salih, who did not even know the test, knew about these authors, "If he knew, he knew. Why shouldn't it be possible!" He ends the story by saying. The most striking aspect of the story is that the stories told by the main character, Salih grandfather, are better than Russian Krilov (Alexandr Krilov, known as the Russian La Fontaine due to the fables he wrote) and La Fontaine, known as the master of fables. In fact, the beauty of Tatar folk stories and tales is emphasized here. In this story, Fatih Kerimî refers to Ahmed Midhat Efendi and his work called Gypsy. It also mentions the names of French writers George Sand, Emile Zola and Alexandr Duma. In the story, attention is drawn to the need to stay away from bad habits. This story has the feature of making the narrator's presence felt and addressing the reader in traditional realistic stories and novels. At the end of the story, the narrator addresses the reader, just as the narrator addresses the listener in oral literary genres dominated by the traditional narrator. Since the Tatar students who went to Bukhara had bad habits such as taking snuff and chewing snuff, this habit of the Tatar mullahs was criticized.
