So there was this nomads that ran away where they lived because the Mongols were coming to get them. So they ran away and they found a good place in the Byzantine empire to settle. So they started building buildings and started growing crops. Then one day one of the shepherds went away and then got very thirsty. He fell on the ground and said "Allah If you give me some water then I will sacrifice seven of my best sheep to you." Suddenly a fountain of pure water appeared and he and his sheep started drinking from it until they quenched their thirst. Then he thought I don't have to sacrifice seven of my best sheep but I will sacrifice the insects on the sheep. So he picked seven insects from the sheep's wool and he set them on the ground and stepped on each one of them and said "This is my sacrifice to you." Then they all turned to stone. Some of the other shepherds were looking for him and his sheep but all they could find were a lot of rocks and a fountain of water.
Then the Sultan (the empire of the Ottomans) started to conquer some of the city's in the Byzantine empire. Then he conquered all of the city's but Constantinople. Then the Sultan died in the Ottoman empire and there was a new Sultan. They now had the largest empire in the world. So they attacked from the western wall with cannons but it wasn't enough. Some of the people in Constantinople said they wont conquer the city until the moon turns dark. And then suddenly the moon started to get dark. It was eclipse but none of the people knew that. They were terrified. And they got there army and went to fight the invaders, but they were to many and soon they were destroyed. They called the place Istanbul. It is still called that today.
