His name wasn’t Farokh but he would like to be called by Farokh. willy nilly he was a little crazy but he didn’t like to be called a crazy boy. but was it possible? whenever someone asked about him it was answered immidiately:” which Farokh? do you mean the crazy Farogh”
he was always standing in alley under a shadow and looking for vespiary ” I know these aren’t honeybees and this isn’t honey but it is sweet” he always stood under the shadow and never allowed the sun to shine on him. whenever he was in the sun you could see something like a knife stabbed on him in his shadow.
long time ago he was a cute٫ chubby with bulgyeyed, red hairless cheeks and bright hair baby.
Once upon a day Butcher Ali’s son faced and stopped him, wanted to rape him but he didn’t give up and defended himself, then Butcher Ali’s son had a dirk, while fighting and scuffling stabbed his head amain. No one knows about the time of this fight just they saw Farough running with a knife on his head. No one knows whether he gave up or not but it was a long time it was being narrated about Farough’s shadow.
” Derro your shadow is nice”
whomever was in Farough’s age couldn’t pull him off, he was very strong, he could hit all of them. Passing by him, he ran over them such as a cock then stick behind them, if they didn’t give up, they would have been hit stongly.
It was seven years ago on a hot days of summer, the days which the sun was so hot as if she wanted to fight. I saw Farough standing in alley, looking up, and staring the sun, fisting his hands. I went close to him, his eyes’ vessels were visible, very red near the black. the hum of honeybees was heard from his ears, thousand of honeybees. The neighbors who saw this view in the window told that there was something between his cheeks and the sky which could not to be decribed anyway, something like nothing.
His eyes got black, the hum of honeybees was heard everywhere. The neighbors came out to see him. Suddenly the world got dark so that I could catch the darkness with my hands, people was scared and upset but after a short time the brightness came back again ever more bright than usual. Farough passed out, people was looked at each other surprisingly. Farough was quiet for a minute, looked at the sky once, looked at the ground once and started loughing, I loughed either. Some of the neighbors murmured Aiatol Korsi(A verse of holy Quran), Farough was in the alley in the sunshine but … but he didn’t have shadow no longer.
