This collection features a variety of fables and allegories that use animals to mirror human behaviors and cultural traits of Iranians, often infused with dark humor. The stories explore themes of judgment, democracy, and moral hypocrisy through clever narratives, such as a jackass judging birds and wolves explaining democracy to a sheep.
