This is the story of a few kittens who go to their Granny’s house each New Year. But this year is different. The Granny is going to go on a trip with her friends. So she decides to give the cats their handsel before the turn of the New Year. Perhaps setting the Haft-Sin table is not a particularly difficult job for a few kittens but making Samanu (a sweet pudding made from wheat germ) will definitely cause a mess.
