They say that in the red city near Bamyan lived a king, who had two big snakes around his neck. They say he used to go down from his city on the top of the mountain, into Bamyan, where he would take the most beautiful youngsters and feed his snakes with their head and their brains. The king was killed by the daughter of the steelman who killed the dragon which turned into a mountain, but that's a long story...
They also say there is a lake inside a mountain, which is frozen in the summer and boiling hot in the winter. I went there but it had gone.
