Gheseha for Iranian Children!
When I was a child in Iran, I was read wonderful stories (gheseha) by my mother and sister, oh and sometimes Parvin joon usually before bedtime. I remember asking for another and another, but was was told only one at night before I would have to go to sleep. I want to share a few of those gheseha in the hope that all Iranian children will enjoy them as I did, but only one at a time before bedtime. These gheseha were written or compiled by Mojgan Sheikhie. There are 365 of them, one for every night of the year. I left Iran when I was eleven years old, but my father asked me to read Iranian books and newspapers whenever I could. Despite all my efforts or, as my father would probably think, lack thereof, my Farsi leaves a great deal to be desired. However, if I can understand these gheseha, so can your children. Just be to safe, I have added an English abstract at the end of each story.
