I want to tell you a short story..

A story from Iran..

It’s a historical story..

Story of empire of the Sun..

Sasanian empire..

1300 years ago..

There was a guy..

The name of “Pardiyaas” ..

He was a Soldier Iran..

Held the bridge alone..

Against a whole of alien army..

And what “Pardiyaas” said was..,

“How can a man die better then facing fearful odds..

For the land of his Fathers..

and..

The temple of his Gods.”
