A long time ago, in the heart of Asia, | 0:00:09 | 0:00:12 | |
there lived a young emperor with a passion for nature. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:15 | |
His name was Babur. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:24 | |

Most of the time he was fighting enemies. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:31 | |
But when the battles were over, the green-fingered emperor | 0:00:35 | 0:00:39 | |
would relax in one of the many gardens he had created | 0:00:39 | 0:00:43 | |
across the lands. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:45 | |
The lands became Afghanistan | 0:00:50 | 0:00:53 | |
and his favourite garden was in the city known as Kabul. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:58 | |

Afghanistan has a turbulent history. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
Just in the last four decades, it's suffered invasions, | 0:01:09 | 0:01:12 | |
civil wars and indiscriminate violence. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:16 | |

But 500 years later, the emperor's favourite garden still survives. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:31 | |
And like Babur, many Afghans find peace and tranquillity in nature. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:41 | |
Their gardens are a refuge from the dangers and stresses of the city. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:49 | |

After a lifetime of fighting, the emperor died, | 0:24:17 | 0:24:21 | |
far from his beloved Kabul, | 0:24:21 | 0:24:23 | |
longing for his sanctuary of peace and serenity. | 0:24:23 | 0:24:28 | |
His body was returned years later to his favourite garden | 0:24:35 | 0:24:39 | |
in his favourite city, where his legacy is still alive. | 0:24:39 | 0:24:43 | |
