children run through the streets. They bang on pots and pans with spoons to beat out the last unlucky wednesday of the year. they knock on door and ask for treats like candy, just as children do on hollaween in other countries
then, on the night before Nowrooz, the whole family gathers around the table with the seven dishes.
