The Kind Boy Kindling Fire

(By Colonel Mohammad Ali Tajik)
I have known Martyr Ardestani since I was young. I have had reminiscences from that era from this imperial highness and the kindness of his heart.
When I was a student and I studied at the level of high school, I had to go from the village which was three kilometers away from Peeshva. I had to go through this way in hot and cold weather to get to school. This way in the cold days of winter, I shivered out of cold when I got to Peeshva- Varamin forked-road, I saw a big fire whose heat covered a radius up to several meters. It was ready, and there was no one there. As I was feeling extremely cold, I enjoyed the heat of the fire in a completely greedy manner and I made myself completely warm. I didn't know, for some time, who made this fire every day and why he did it.
After a while, I noticed that Martyr Ardestani had made that fire to make me feel warm and he left that place immediately when he saw me, though their village was not away from the school, just a few minutes walk.
