If you want to improve your Persian language, as well as help your understanding of Persian culture, try to study Persian literature.Saadi of Shiraz, one of the greatest figures in classical Persian literature, has two books, the poetic Bustān, or Orchard, and the prose Golestān, the Rose Garden. In Persian literature, The Gulistan (Golestān) is one of the most outstanding and influential prose masterpieces.In this episode we narrate one anecdote from chapter 8 of Gulistan, explain its new vocabulary and its meaning and then talk about its content.
