Summary:
The story is about a girl who stopped being a prophet in the year of the revolution, she describes to her friends that “the revolution is like a bicycle, when the wheels don’t turn, it falls.” She suggests that often in the history of Iran the wheels haven’t been turning.
She goes back to the history of Iran as her father explained. His father describes the history of Iran as "2500 years of tyranny and submission." Abuse of power, he explains, has often been from inside and outside. Foreign invasions include the "Arab invasion of the West, the Mongol invasion from the East and finally modern imperialism," when European powers sought to control Iran.
