"Willow and Wind" by Mohammad Ali Talebi, Iran

The beautiful landscape of Northern Iran is the setting for this story of bravery and courage. When he arrives at his new village on the first day of school, Reza is fascinated by the constant rain, because he has never seen it before. His first friend Kuchakpour cannot go back to class until he mends the window of the classroom, which he broke. The two friends look for money to pay for the window, but Kuchakpour is the one who finally has to deal with it. He will have to be brave and cross the fields, carrying the pane of glass during a raging storm. How will the story end?
