This young woman belongs to the clan whose history is depicted in the design of the gabbeh, and the rug recounts the story of the courtship of the young woman by a stranger from the clan.

A rural Iranian school is conducted in a tent. A man, apparently a school inspector, visits the class and asks the students to answer several questions. The man then explains that he is merely a passerby who wanted to know about the school. The teacher then asks a student to tell the man about the time the wind blew the school away.
