Sah Annom / Wake Up (Piccadilly/Damascus 1971) Booklet Summary (contains plot spoilers): People stand around the public square, awaiting full moon, petitions in hand for the Wali to sign. The Wali wakes up only on such a day every month and signs three petitions only to preserve the state's historical stamp. Among the crowd, Krunful, petition in hand, waits for the Wali to stamp it. Six full moons had passed and her petition was not stamped yet. The Wali appears, as the moon rises in the sky. Cheers are heard as the traditional ceremonies start. People rush and place their petitions in front of the Wali who selects three, stamps them and being overcome by slumber goes back to sleep. When the square becomes deserted, Krunful who hid behind the Wali's chair, steals the official stamp and stamps all petitions, then throws the stamp into an old empty well. Petitioners, seeing their petitions stamped, start working. A month passes by, the Wali wakes up and discovers the theft of the the stamp. Interrogations reveal that Krunful as the theif. She is sentenced to be tied to a wild horse and let loose for the rest of her life. But the sentence needed the stamp to validate it. Krunful brings back the stamp from the well after the Wali promised to forgive her.
