old age

Have you ever had the experience of looking at other people your age and saying to yourself, “I can’t look that old?”

If so, you may enjoy this story.

While waiting for my first appointment in the reception room of a new dentist, I noticed his certificate, which had his full name suddenly, I remembered a tall, handsome boy with the same name who had been in my school classabout30 years ago. When I saw him, I quickly changed my thought. This man with gray hair and a face full of wrinkle was too old to have been my classmate. After he had examined my teeth, I asked him if he went to local high school.

“Yes” he replied.

“When did you graduate?”I asked.

He answered, “In 1971.why?”

“You were in my class.” I said

He looked at me closely and then asked, “What did you teach?”

آیا تا کنون به افراد هم سن و سال خود نگاه کرده اید وبا خود بگویید"من هم اینقدر پیرم؟"اگر چنین است از شنیدن این داستان لذت می برید.

وقتی برای اولین بار دراتاق پذیرش یک دندان پزشک منتظر بودممتوجه ی نام و نام خانوادگی او را بر روی پروانه ی طبابتش شدم.

ناگهان به یاد پسری بلند قد و خوش چهره که سی سال پیش همکلاسی ام بود افتادم.وقتی او را دیدم به سرعت نظرم تغیر کرد.این مرد با موهای سفید و صورتی پر چین و چروک پیر تر از آن بود که همکلاسی من باشد.

بعد از معاینه ی دندانم از او پرسیدم: آیا به دبیرستان دولتی می رفته؟

گفت: البته.

گفتم:چه سالی فارق اتحصیل شدید؟

گفت: 1971 چه طور مگه؟

گفتم:شما در کلاس من بودید.

با دقت به من نگاه کرد و گفت:چه درسی تدریس می کردید؟!

Hat dismay this cause! What to do? Horetia burst in to tears and Mr. Penguin didn’t know what to say to console her.

Then.  They heard a burst of laughter from one corner of the room. It was old Granny penguin.

We should wash our words  

Words should be rain and wind.

We should close our umbrellas,

And walk in the rain.

Take mind and memory in the rain.

With all the townsfolk walk in the rain.

Meet friend in the rain.

Quest love in the rain…

Play in the rain.

Write, talk and plant waterlily in the rain

Life is soaking continuously,

Life is bathing in the pond of “Now “

واژه ها را باید شست.    

واژه باید خود باد خود باران باشد.

چترها را باید بست.

زیر باران باید رفت.

فکر را خاطره را زیر باران باید برد.

با همه مردم شهر زیر باران باید رفت.

دوست را زیر باران باید دید.

عشق را زیر باران باید جست....

زیر باران باید بازی کرد.

زیر باران باید چیز نوشت حرف زد نیلوفر کاشت.

زندگی تر شدن پی در پی

زندگی آبتی کردن در حوضچه ی "اکنون"است.
