Well digger Ensep decided to increase the payment for his work and get rich. Pride and vanity seized his soul, and he takes orders only from rich and noble clients. At this time, Karakalpak appears in their village, who moved with his family from Khorezm. Karakalpak digged up the deepest well in the steppe for a small amount of money. As a result, his fame spread across the steppe, and all the customers slowly pass from Ensep to him. All the time Ensep looks for a chance to dig the deepest well than Karakalpak, and glorify his name again.
