Hey boy, clear off the track!

The crow was cawing with pain.

The tree consoled him.

"It's life, friend. There's pain and then

there's happiness. Do you see my branch?

Its dry and leafless

but has still stuck with me."

The crow felt better and said:

"We share our pain.

If Im not disturbing you, allow me

to build a nest on this branch."

The tree said:
"Its my pleasure.

You have wings

to fly and bring me back

news of the mountains.

My biggest wish is to know what

goes on behind the mountain.

Im certain there are cool springs.

Trees there arent thirsty like me. I yearn

for a river that can quench my thirst."

Who knows the meaning of that word?

Zamani, do you know

what quench means here?

It means to spray water.

To pour.

To sprinkle.

Keep reading!

The raven said "if I make a nest here,

you won't be so lonely and hopeless."

And I'll do everything

in my power for you.

Now that you've rested, I'll go beyond

the mountain to bring you the news.

He said it and flew off to the skies.

When he reached beyond the

mountain, he saw a valley

with pleasant weather

and flowing rivers.

And he followed a stream until

he reached the fountain...

with crystal clear water.

- Did you write it?

- Yes, sir.

You may go now.

Iran, dear Iran's our house.

Our homeland, our country, our nest.

It's our heritage from Cyrus and

Artaxerxes. We've inherited this land.

You see greatness around all borders,

From Khosrow, Toos, Giv, and Goodarz,

from the Hirmand to Vakhsh, which

Rostam travelled on his mighty horse.

Any brick that build this land,

bears the marks of our men's heroics.

The mountains and the prairies

have all been blessed by God.

The mighty people of this land,

brave and bold and pious,

Died with their souls in peace,

and left this land to us with honour.

Today, you splendid children,

that you rule on this mighty land,

do not rest on your inherited laurels.

Seek art, power and greatness.

Never be idle and leave the land.

Fight with your life to keep it in hand.

You, stand up!

- You!

- Who? Me?

No, not you. The one next to you.

Stand up!

- How far did you get in history?

- Until Shah Abbas the Great.

Explain the Ghaznavids dynasty to me.

Speak up! The Ghaznavids!

Haven't you studied the Ghaznavids?

The Ghaznavids!

Tell us about it!

Come on!

Hey you! Where do you

think you're going?

Come closer!
