Yes, Dear Lady Francesca: Real tales are real... But how do we sort them from the many fake ones?

Love's First Pillar

557d

Tales ARE real, Mistress! Calvino and Chesterton would surely agree...

557c

What?!? Are you saying this Mr. Frögü jumped out of a book?!? Then he is NOT...real!

557b

Shaykh Frögüddan?!? It is a tale within a long Persian Poem. They even say that Shaykh Frögü's tale is the Heart of the Poem...

557a

Substance! That's Love First Pillar. The Sender signs: Shaykh Frögüddan. Do we know him?!? Is he rich?!?

556d

Emails are lacking Substance!

556c

Aah! Ink!! Your sweet fragrance!!! A girl gets sort of tired of all those Love Emails. Somehow they are lacking...

Do you think Phil agrees to play Shaykh Saman?

A Fresher Perspective ;-)

You can color the Frogs with your own colours :-)

554d

You mean that we retell the story from the girl's perspective?!?
Right. And it is about time. Salute!

554c

But... within this we have a story of a villain who is a girl: she repents, converts and dies. Is this funny?
No? Just wait until we unlock its potentiality!

554b

...Then we mix the main Sufi text with pieces from an opposite... the heroes here are the vilains there... and vice versa!

All we need to run the Sufi Theatre is: A few books of Sufi Poetry and a trunk filled with inspiring hats...

ای ناطقه بر بام و در تا کی روی در خانه پر
نطق زبان را ترک کن بی‌چانه شو بی‌چانه شو
