Mice and the Cat
Mice and the Cat (ascribed to Ubayd Zakani, born in the late 14th century) is one of the earliest known Children books in Persian.
Much like Tom and Jerry this is the story of endless battles between mice and cats. The two stories, however, draw drastically different conclusions: the Iranian tale clearly suggests that the mice’s fight is futile. Nothing is ever going to change in their life.

I had heared about this story from one of my Iranian friends. She always said that Tom & Jerry is a kind of copy of this story or on the better words: the idia of T&J is taken from this story. I truly enjoyed MOOsh & Gorbeh and I hope we can see more of alike in future
Thanks a lot

این وبسایت هم به فارسی است و هم به انگلیسی. نظراتی که در هر یک از دو بخش داده شده اند در بخش دیگر نیز قابل رویت اند. خواننده ی انگلیسی زبانی که نظرش را به انگلیسی نوشته است احتمالا این پست را به انگلیسی خوانده است.
