Hadji Hassan Na'alchigar was the blacksmith at Zanjan Market in northern Iran.
Someone left a bicycle at his shop but failed to come back for it.
Every night he would put it in his shop and every morning put it back outside
waiting to be claimed... for 45 years.
See LJ, that's what a messy shop looks like. ;)
He became sort of a legend and admired for his honesty, loyalty, and trustworthiness,
certainly admirable traits. They are also some of the pillars of Islam, although you
wouldn’t know it listening to ISIS. But you wouldn’t know what Christianity is about
listening to Jerry Falwell or Jim and Tammy Baker.
When he died at 81 he had become such a legend they erected a statue of him with
a base big enough for the bicycle too.
PS, he was not a farrier, he was a blacksmith. A farrier only shoes horses, whereas a
blacksmith does all kinds of fabrication and repair with and of metal.
