3-487-300-964-978 | | | | Illustrator: | Rahimzadeh, Pejman | | Publisher: | Shokoofeh Books,Amirkabir, Iran | | Writer: | Nasrin Doost, Nastaran | | Abstract: | Once upon a time, in the old days there were a thousand and one houses; under the gray blue sky. The last house was a large house with seven doors. Seven girls lived there with their old mother.
Each of the doors opened to a girl's room. Every night, it was the turn of one of them to fetch the big set of keys from their mother and lock all the doors. That was because a frightening monster lived nearby. He watched out every one, waiting to see an open door and enter the house.
All of the old woman's daughters were talented. The first one was a cook and cooked the most delicious foods. The second one was a tailor and made the most beautiful dresses. The third one knitted beautiful things with colorful wools. The fourth daughter made comfortable and light shoes. The fifth one was a skilled barber and unique in making up brides. The sixth one painted so much pictures that you couldn't even imagine. But the seventh daughter…
The seventh daughter who was called Salty did not like such works. She used to make small crumbs out of the dried breads and gave them to the birds. She then sang beautiful songs for them with her beautiful voice. The birds loved her songs and gathered around her and once they ate their meal well, they would all stay by her side and listen to her amazing songs for hours. One night when it was Salty's turn to lock all the doors…

978-964-300-437-8 | | | | Illustrator: | Goldouzian, Alireza | | Publisher: | Shokoofeh Books,Amirkabir, Iran | | Writer: | Behroz Kia, Kamal | | Abstract: | Once upon a time, there was an old cat who lived near a village. The cat could not hunt anymore. His claws were not sharp anymore and he had only two or three teeth left. Not only could not he hunt mice and partridges, he was so weak that he could hardly hunt chicks.
The old cat lived alone and had no one. Most often he fed on cockroaches, lizards and bugs. He really longed to have a real meal after all this time.
At daytime he sat close to the village and watched the roosters and chickens from a far distance. Sometimes the chickens and roosters fed on seeds and grains. And sometimes the chickens sat in the shadow while the roosters sang.
There was a rooster called 'Cock-a-doodle-do'. It had the most beautiful voice. Each day he practiced singing and wanted to sing better than before. He wanted to be admired by others. Even the people of the village recognized his songs. Once he sang, the breeze blew; as if the leaves and flowers and the children of the village could study better in the classroom.
The old cat wanted to become friends with Cock-a-doodle-do. On the other hand Cock-a-doodle-do was looking for a friend who would help him make some progress in singing.
