The ancient warlike Shapsug tribe was famous for its cruelty. Not a single old man was in this tribe. All weak and burdensome families, according to the law in force in society, were thrown from a cliff into a river. One warrior could not kill his father, despite the fact that he asked him to. The son hid his father in a cave and carried him water and food. Once upon a time enemies attacked the soldiers. Father saved the tribe by letting the enemies of "heady" honey get drunk. The enemies fell asleep, the soldiers loaded them into galleys and sent them down the river. Since then, the high cliff has been called the Rock of the Old Ones, and the Circassians have gained respect for the older generation.
