PUTRISHKI - THE HISTORY AND MODERNITY
The legend of the origin of the village Putrishki
It was a long time ago, when the strong lived. They were strong men. They did not keep any economy, and ate that caught animals on woods.
But on their trouble together with them lived a weirdo-man. Not such as all: and growth smaller, and forces not such had. And his strangeness was that he loved all living things and understood the language of animals and birds. For it in the surrounding area began to call him eccentric-Putris.
It became difficult for people to live, because Putris will talk to either a bird or an animal – and shoot anyone, because all living things are hidden. People began to hate the weirdo. Yes, one trouble does not go. A terrible hurricane began, which turned the trees with stones. Everyone thought it was a Putris affair.
It was a shame for Putris. He threw his pack over his shoulders and left the place. Long or not he wandered through the forest, but suddenly stumbled on a large, sun-drenched glade. All around was green, in multicolored paints. Putris sat down in a clearing and could not take his eyes off this beauty. Forget the insult to the athletes. Quickly he climbed the hill and began to shout: "People! I'm Putris! Wonderful land found!
People began to converge on his voice from all sides. Saw - did not disappoint Putris, here is really Paradise on earth. They began to build houses, develop land. It turned out to be a large settlement. Grateful people began to call him Putriski.
It is not known why over time the letter "S" was replaced by "SH", but now it is Putrishki…
