🟢 Pumpkin Rolling (English)
Once upon a time, there was an old woman who lived alone.
One day she decided to visit her daughter who lived beyond the forest. She took her walking stick and started her journey.
On the way, she met a wolf.
The wolf said, “Old woman, where are you going?”
She said, “I’m going to my daughter’s house.”
The wolf said, “I will eat you now!”
The old woman replied, “Oh no! I’m too skinny now. Let me go eat at my daughter’s house and get fat. On my way back, you can eat me!”
The wolf agreed.
Then she met a lion and a tiger. She gave them the same answer.
When she reached her daughter’s house, her daughter said, “The forest is dangerous! The animals will eat you.”
She brought a big pumpkin, emptied it, and hid her mother inside. Then she pushed the pumpkin and said, “Roll, pumpkin, roll!”
The pumpkin rolled through the forest.
The wolf saw it and asked, “Rolling pumpkin! Have you seen the old woman?”
The pumpkin answered,
“No, I haven’t seen her,
I’m just rolling along!”
It said the same to the lion and the tiger.
Finally, the pumpkin reached the old woman’s house. She came out safely and lived happily.

🔵 Kadoo Gholgheleh Zan
Yeki bood yeki nabood, gheyr az khoda hichkas nabood.
Ye pirzan tanha zendegi mikard. Ye rooz delesh khast bere khane dokhtaresh ke onvar janghal bood. Asa ro bardasht va rah oftad.
Aval gorg ro did.
Gorg goft: “Pirzan koja miri?”
Goft: “Miram khane dokhtaram.”
Gorg goft: “Alan mikhoramet!”
Pirzan goft: “Na na! Alan lagharam. Bezaram beram ghaza bokhoram chagh besham, vaghti bargashtam bokhoram!”
Gorg ghabool kard.
Ba’d shir o babr ham hamin ro goftan va pirzan hamin javab ro dad.
Dokhtaresh ye kadoo bozorg avord, tosh ro khali kard, maman ro toosh gozasht va goft:
“Ghol bokhor kadoo jan!”
Kadoo ghol ghol konan rah oftad.
Gorg goft: “Kadoo gholgheleh zan! Pirzan ro nadidi?”
Kadoo goft:
“Na nadidam, na nadidam,
Daram miram ghol ghol konan!”
Ta inke be khane resid va pirzan salem birun omad.
🟠 داستان کدو قلقله‌زن
یکی بود یکی نبود، غیر از خدا هیچ‌کس نبود.
یک پیرزن تنها زندگی می‌کرد. یک روز دلش خواست برود خانه دخترش که در آن‌سوی جنگل زندگی می‌کرد. عصایش را برداشت و راه افتاد.
در راه، اول گرگ را دید.
گرگ گفت: «پیرزن! کجا می‌روی؟»
پیرزن گفت: «می‌روم خانه دخترم.»
گرگ گفت: «الان می‌خورمت!»
پیرزن گفت: «نه نه! الان لاغرم. بگذار بروم خانه دخترم، غذا بخورم، چاق شوم، بعد که برگشتم من را بخور!»
گرگ قبول کرد.
کمی جلوتر، شیر را دید.
شیر هم همین را گفت، و پیرزن همان جواب را داد.
بعد به ببر هم همین را گفت.
پیرزن به خانه دخترش رسید. دخترش گفت: «مادر! در راه خطرناک است. حیوان‌ها تو را می‌خورند.»
بعد یک کدوی بزرگ آورد، داخلش را خالی کرد و پیرزن را داخل کدو گذاشت.
کدو را هل داد و گفت: «قل بخور کدو جان، برو تا خانه!»
کدو قل‌قل‌کنان راه افتاد.
در راه، گرگ رسید و گفت: «کدو قلقله‌زن! پیرزن را ندیدی؟»
کدو گفت:
«نه ندیدم، نه ندیدم،
دارم می‌رم قل‌قل‌کنان!»
و رفت جلوتر.
شیر و ببر هم همین را پرسیدند و کدو همان جواب را داد.
تا اینکه کدو رسید به خانه پیرزن.
پیرزن از کدو بیرون آمد و سالم به خانه رسید.
و این بود داستان کدو قلقله‌زن 🟠✨
