This evocative collection presents two beautifully crafted short stories, one centering on a mother and the other on a child. While the first tale is deeply poignant and emotionally heavy, the second carries a more cheerful and uplifting tone. The first story concludes with a melancholic reflection on the fleeting nature of motherhood, fading like an old melody: "A mother? There was no mother. No, there was. Once upon a time, there was and there wasn't; she remained only in our folk songs."

The second story, however, blends a lived reality with the enchanting world of dreams. It follows the genuine news brought by Bekir to Little Alimjan—a revelation that quickly spreads throughout the lands of Crimea. Before long, everyone in the region comes to know of the existence of two distinct figures named Alim: Alim Aydamak and Alim Kulaksız. Together, these two tales offer a rich, emotional tapestry that captures both the profound sorrows and the enduring cultural spirit of the Crimean people.
