Şapka - Zülfü Livaneli
The Hat
Long ago, there was a black-haired boy who lived in his village with his family. But one day, in order for his father to find a better job, they were forced to move to a country where most people had blonde hair. Over there, the boy felt different and alone because he was constantly made fun of. Perhaps, he thought, if he could hide his black hair under a hat, they might invite him to join their games.
Years passed, and the black-haired boy grew up and had a son. One day, he heard that his son was being teased by a new friend in his class. And so he began to tell his story… As the son listened to his father, he realized how much his friend was hurting his feelings, and he hatched a plan to make his friend happy.
Zülfü Livaneli has written this time for a peaceful future where children, uprooted from their homes and forced to migrate, can walk hand in hand with their friends.
