The book is the story from the perspective of a child in an orphanage in the city of Urmia, Iran. He recounts his childhood memory of the visit paid by martyr Mehdi Bakeri to that orphanage. He says, “On that day, a slender man came to the orphanage. He said his name was Mehdi. He played hide and seek with the kids, then he took them to the orphanage mosque and told them many stories about the Prophet and Quran. Then he said, ‘Kids, we run a contest. The kid who gives the right answer to the questions wins a wristwatch as a gift.’ I really wanted to have a wristwatch, but I could not answer the quiz correctly. When he left, our trainer came in and said, ‘Kids, do you know the person who was playing with you. He was Mehdi Bakeri, the mayor of our city.’
