The narrator and his grandmother find a silkworm among vegetables. The narrator makes a nest for the worm, calling it Ghelghelak, and starts feeding it. A few days later the grandmother gets sick. Ghelghelak converts into a cocoon. When the narrator accompanies her parents who are visiting grandma’s tomb, they roam the grandmother's gravestone and recite Sureh Hamd from the Quran for her. At the same time, Ghelghelak comes out of its cocoon. The author tries to explain a grandmother's death and the evolution of a worm into a cocoon and then its con-version into a butterfly, to a child as her book’s reader/addressee/audience. As children in our culture have not learned that death is an integral and inseparable part of life. Perhaps, this way, they will learn that death is merely an emancipation of the body. It should be noted that this book used to be recited (to the children) personally by its author in the libraries of the Center for the Development of Intellectual Property of Children and Teenagers. Hence, those children are familiar with the book and established a good relationship with it.
