A girl who is clutching his canteen and doll under his arm, passes through a group who is mourning while watching an Islamic ballad.1`.
“Shemr”2 who looks satanically rough, is peeping the girl… while turning away and calling out “Imam Hussein” (pbuh).
The girl goes up the mourning platform in her little steps, pasts “Shemr”, stands against” Imam Hussein(pbuh)”and stares at the imam’s lips which turned white because of thirst!!
She offered him her canteen; with its thumping sound…
The sword falls from Shemr’s hand and he stops bragging.
The little girl says:” Drink! It’s for you” then turns back and stands against Shemr.
Her pupils are covered with a shiny layer of tears.
She looks into Shemr’s eyes and says with tears in her eyes, ”Hey, bad dad!”

1- Islamic ballad is a sort of tragic theater which is played on streets to revive the lyrics or martyrdoms.
2- Shemr was the wild nast man who killed imam Hussein(pbuh) by cutting his head.
