ملا نصرالدین
Mulla Nasreddin
He rides his old gray donkey backwards, searches for his ring wherever the light is better, and swears a borrowed cooking pot has given birth. Follow the Persian world's favorite wise fool through one year in his little town — right up to the day the fearsome king Teymur orders him to teach his donkey to read. Sixteen warm, funny chapters in simple modern Persian, rising from first steps to A2.
