The Namesake

Bita Mozaffari

 She loved reading books since she was a child. For this reason, when she finished the first grade of primary school, she went and became a member of the library of the Center for Intellectual Development. The library was huge.She borrowed and read books from the library and returned them to the library after writing a summary of the book.

But one thing bothered her  was that she was alone walking to the library.  She really wanted to find a good friend who would not be alone on the road. One day when she was returning from the library, she saw the girl next door to Sean Hajar. When Hajar saw the books in Bita's hand, she said: Bita, did you buy these book? How good I love reading books.  Bita replied: No, I became a member of the local library. If you like , come and become a member. This way you can easily read a book without spending money. Hajar was very happy and said: Why not. Bita was also very happy to be able to add a new member to the library and get rid of loneliness.

Bita and Hajar went to the library once a week and borrowed books. Sometimes they exchanged the books they had taken and found it interesting. The librarian was a relatively young boy. In order to make sure that the children read the books, he told the children to write down and draw the result they got from reading each book.

Days passed like this. One day, the librarian called Bita and Hajar and said: "We are going to have an exhibition and at the end we have a small celebration." The director of the center and the people participate in this celebration. We decided that you two would sing a hymn with another girl your age. This performance is very important for our center. To this end, I want a very good performance from you. You can also use the center area to practice. I will help you too. Just wait for the third person to come.

Bita and Hajar were a little surprised, but one of the other things they liked to do was to  sing. So they decided to do it. Bita always sings the songs of famous singers in her privacy. Of course, this was a little different, but it was a very different experience.

The librarian brought the lyrics and gave them to them. He said: I want you to read and memorize this text carefully and practice with your new friend who will come in a few minutes.
They preferred to go outside the library and wait for their new friend. They felt good because could demonstrate their ability to sing hymns among people. It was a chance given to them and she should not have missed it.
