The Lebanese Shepherd, by Zahraa Al Hassani

During my way into the north of Lebanon there were a small village named Zghartaghrîne among the huge mountain chain, which has green fields all around. It was a beautiful sunny day, and what attracts me most was this respected old man with his sheep; the color of his eyes and the sharp wrinkles on his face, which was telling a life time stories!
