The Facebook page 'People of New York' published a post on Thursday from the perspective of an Iranian father describing the character of his ten-year-old son, which Barack Obama, the former President, praised in a message below the post. The father's words, living in Tabriz, are as follows: 'Today is his tenth birthday. He is a very sensitive boy who wants to solve people's problems. Once, when he was five years old, he came shopping with me, and we bought a kilogram of apricots. I let him carry the bag of apricots home. He walked a little behind me the whole way. After a few minutes, I asked him to give me the apricots. He said, 'I can't. I gave them all to this person and that person.' At that moment, I realized I was raising a humanitarian child.' Obama's comment, which was also published by the Persian Facebook page of the U.S. State Department, reads: 'What an inspiring story. One of the delightful things that can happen to a father or mother is to see the fruits of the upbringing and values they have taught reflected in their child's behavior, and this story had a special impact on me. I hope this young person never loses his desire to help others. And I, for my part, will continue to do everything I can to make the world a place where this young person and other youths like him can fully utilize their capabilities. (And I hope if I ever meet him, he saves an apricot for me!) Barack Obama.' The 'People of New York' page is a popular Facebook page whose administrator and photographer recently traveled to Iran.
