Armenian Folk stories

[The Abyss]

HI Guys.
I though of creating a thread that deals with Armenian Folk stories about our origins.

For Example:
My Grand Father Came from Sis the capital of Cilicia.
So I am a Sisetsi...
And there is an anecdote concerning Sisetsi's that goes like this:
One day they put a Sisetsi and a Snake into the same bag,
after a while the snake came out running because the Sisetsi has bitten him.

Does any one have similar stories?

abaranci?

I used to go to Aparan every summer for 5 years when I was a kid? A lot of cow dung everywhere. We played "11" (tasnmek or ochko) and played soccer with village kids the whole day.

Here's a aparanci joke (my first post on AC forum):

Karoaper i think you'll like this joke about Abarantsi, it goes like this:

One day an Abarantsi has a new born child, and he decides to name him Hrom (aka Rome), now everybody in the village askes him why the heck you want to name your child Hrom.
Well he answers, so that whenever I'm walking down the street everybody will tell, here comes "Hrom-i Babe" (aka POPE)
