This is a favorite story from my husband’s childhood, often told to him by his mother and grandmother in Farsi, the native Persian language of Iran. He translated it from his childhood memories, and I served as typist and English-language editor, as well as illustrator for him.
c. 1992 – Translated from by memory by Hamid Dianaty, illustrated by D. Denise Dianaty. Illustrations in ink and colored pencil, scans from laminated originals.
I try to always respond to direct comments and to follow the user-link to your profile and check out your own posts. I do try to check the profiles of my voters; but, comments are the best way to get a vote back because the popup window of voters only lists a maximum of 20 voter/user-links.
