Lunar Cape, Trey Gunn - What the peacock is silent about (Oriental)

from Lunar Folk Tales (Full Version) by Lunar Cape

lyrics

Far to the east, there lived a Sultan with his wife Sultanka. And they lived with a peacock named Chicken Ry-aba.
The peacock named Chicken Ry-aba roamed the meadows, gaining strength, and everyone waited for her to finally lay an egg.
And so the peacock named Chicken Ry-aba laid an egg. And it was square!
Sultan beat the egg, but it did not break. Sultanka kicked the egg, and still did not break it. And then the Sultan gathered “all the Sultan's horses, and all the Sultan's men”, and they began to pound the egg with their square hammers, but the egg did not roll, fall down and break, because square eggs do not roll!!!
And then the Sultan sat down and wept, Sultanka sat down and cried. The peacock named Chicken Ry-aba sat down next to them and also began to cry. And all Sultan's horses and Sultan's men put down their square hammers and also began to cry.
So, they cried for three days and three nights. And when on the fourth night Sultan raised his eyes to the sky, he saw a round and yellow moon there that resembled a yolk. Only then the Sultan understood that the eggs should be round! He issued a decree, put a round seal on it, and since then there are no more square eggs in the world.
