The Runner
(Dawandeh)

by Amir NADERI

THE RUNNER

Amiro is a boy who is left to himself. He was born and lives on the shores of the Persian Gulf. The teenager soon learns that to succeed in life one must fight and run again. For the struggle for life is a sort of race. To him there are two kinds of races- one to make a living, the other to train oneself. Gradually, running becomes his reason to live. Amiro starts studying at a late stage in his life.
