Shah Abbas and the Poor Mother I like this story because of the goodness it beings to the people in need. The Shah tried to provide a selfless action to the mother and her children, and once he knew it didn't go as he had planned, he did everything he could to make it right again. I like that this story is about doing kind things for those in need, and finding justice and punishment for those who did wrong. If I were to rewrite this story, I would make it be in modern times, and the mother would be struggling with trying to get her gets where they needed to go. A pastor will come and give her a new car. She will drive the car, but since it is so nice, a police officer will think she stole it and send her to jail. The pastor will find out, confront the police for assuming false accusations, and in a lawsuit, the woman will win enough money to care for her children.   Persian Tales ,  translated by D.L.R.
