Ghost / Fear of imaginary ghost (Story Writing / Completing Story)

Fear of imaginary ghost

I am student of class X. I live in the hostel of my school. During the Ramadan vacation I came to my village house and spent the whole vacation there. After the Ramadan vacation had been over I went to the railway station at a distance of twenty kilometres from my house on foot. I reached the station at 9O’clock at night. After reaching the station I came to know that the train had left the station a few minutes before. So I decided to return home. There was no transport on the road. I was walking home. I was all alone. There was silence all around. I felt that someone was following me. I was afraid even to look back, I stopped. But I heard no sound. As soon as I walked faster, the sound became louder. I began to run to get rid of the sound. The sound too ran after me. The sight of the imaginary ghost made me nervous. I was sweating and trembling. I walked fast and reached home very soon. I shouted. “Mother! Mother! Come out with a light”. My mother came out with a candle in her hand. She was alarmed seeing me trembling and sweating. I told my mother everything. My mother saw a small piece of wood stuck tomy shoe. Then I realized that this piece of wood made the sound. Only then I felt relieved.

Fear of an Imaginary Ghost

I am a student of class X and live in my school hostel. During the Ramadan vacation, I went to my village home and spent the whole holiday there. When the vacation ended, I had to return to school. Since there was no transport available, I decided to walk twenty kilometers to the railway station.

I reached the station at 9 o’clock at night, only to find out that the train had left just a few minutes earlier. With no choice left, I decided to walk back home. The road was deserted, and there was complete silence all around. As I walked, I suddenly felt as if someone was following me. A chill ran down my spine. I was too scared to look back. I stopped for a moment, but I could hear nothing.

However, as soon as I started walking again, I heard a strange sound behind me. My heart started beating faster. The sound grew louder as I quickened my pace. Panic took over, and I began to run. To my horror, the sound seemed to chase me. My fear grew stronger, and I was trembling and sweating. The thought of an invisible ghost made me weak with fear.

Somehow, I ran as fast as I could and finally reached home. Out of breath, I shouted, “Mother! Mother! Come out with a light!” Hearing my cries, my mother rushed out with a candle. She was shocked to see me in such a frightened state. I explained everything to her. She carefully looked at my shoes and found a small piece of wood stuck to one of them.

At that moment, I realized the truth. The strange sound was nothing but the piece of wood hitting the ground as I walked. I felt embarrassed but also relieved. My fear had been for nothing—it was just my imagination.

কাল্পনিক ভূতের ভয়

আমি দশম শ্রেণীর ছাত্রী এবং আমার স্কুলের হোস্টেলে থাকি। রমজানের ছুটিতে, আমি আমার গ্রামের বাড়িতে গিয়েছিলাম এবং পুরো ছুটি সেখানেই কাটিয়েছিলাম। ছুটি শেষ হওয়ার পর, আমাকে স্কুলে ফিরে যেতে হয়েছিল। যেহেতু কোনও পরিবহন ব্যবস্থা ছিল না, তাই আমি বিশ কিলোমিটার হেঁটে রেলস্টেশনে যাওয়ার সিদ্ধান্ত নিলাম।

রাত ৯টায় স্টেশনে পৌঁছালাম, কিন্তু জানতে পারলাম যে ট্রেনটি মাত্র কয়েক মিনিট আগে ছেড়ে গেছে। আর কোনও উপায় না পেয়ে, আমি হেঁটে বাড়ি ফিরে যাওয়ার সিদ্ধান্ত নিলাম। রাস্তাটি জনশূন্য ছিল, এবং চারপাশে সম্পূর্ণ নীরবতা ছিল। হাঁটতে হাঁটতে হঠাৎ মনে হল যেন কেউ আমাকে অনুসরণ করছে। আমার মেরুদণ্ড বেয়ে একটা ঠান্ডা বয়ে গেল। আমি পিছনে তাকাতে ভয় পেয়েছিলাম। আমি এক মুহূর্ত থামলাম, কিন্তু কিছুই শুনতে পেলাম না।

যাইহোক, আবার হাঁটতে শুরু করার সাথে সাথেই আমি আমার পিছনে একটি অদ্ভুত শব্দ শুনতে পেলাম। আমার হৃদস্পন্দন দ্রুত গতিতে শুরু করল। আমি আমার গতি বাড়ানোর সাথে সাথে শব্দ আরও জোরে জোরে উঠল। আতঙ্ক ছড়িয়ে পড়ল, এবং আমি দৌড়াতে শুরু করলাম। আমার ভয়ের জন্য, শব্দটি আমাকে তাড়া করছে বলে মনে হচ্ছিল। আমার ভয় আরও তীব্র হয়ে উঠল, আর আমি কাঁপতে লাগলাম আর ঘামতে লাগলাম। অদৃশ্য ভূতের কথা ভেবে ভয়ে আমি দুর্বল হয়ে পড়লাম।

কোনভাবে, আমি যত দ্রুত সম্ভব দৌড়ে গেলাম এবং অবশেষে বাড়িতে পৌঁছালাম। আমি হাঁপাতে হাঁপাতে চিৎকার করে বললাম, "মা! মা! আলো নিয়ে বেরিয়ে এসো!" আমার কান্না শুনে, আমার মা একটি মোমবাতি নিয়ে ছুটে বেরিয়ে এলেন। আমাকে এত ভীত অবস্থায় দেখে তিনি হতবাক হয়ে গেলেন। আমি তাকে সবকিছু ব্যাখ্যা করলাম। তিনি আমার জুতাগুলির দিকে মনোযোগ সহকারে তাকালেন এবং দেখতে পেলেন যে একটি ছোট কাঠের টুকরো তার একটিতে আটকে আছে।

সেই মুহূর্তে, আমি সত্য বুঝতে পারলাম। অদ্ভুত শব্দটা আর কিছুই ছিল না, কাঠের টুকরোটি হাঁটার সময় মাটিতে আঘাত করছিল। আমি লজ্জিত বোধ করলাম কিন্তু স্বস্তিও পেলাম। আমার ভয়টা আসলে অকারণ ছিল - এটা কেবল আমার কল্পনা ছিল।

A Clever Crane

One day, a fox saw a crane walking in the distance. The fox looked at the bird and thought, “What a strange creature! It walks on two thin sticks, has a long neck and beak, and barely any head. A bird like that must have no brain at all. But look how proudly it walks! I will teach it a lesson.” The fox laughed to himself and made a plan.

The fox walked up to the crane and said in a friendly voice, “What a fine bird you are! I would love to be your friend.”

The crane was smart and did not trust the fox, but he decided to be polite. They talked for a long time, and before leaving, the fox invited the crane to dinner the next day. The crane, though suspicious, accepted the invitation.

The next evening, the crane arrived at the fox’s house for dinner. The cunning fox had prepared only soup, which he poured into a flat dish. He then invited the crane to eat.

The fox happily licked the soup with his tongue, but the crane, with his long beak, could not eat anything. The fox pretended to be kind and kept saying, “Why aren’t you eating, my friend? Is the food not to your taste?” The crane, of course, understood the trick. Before leaving, he invited the fox to dinner at his own house the next day.

The clever crane wanted to teach the fox a lesson. So, when the fox arrived for dinner, the crane served delicious food—but he placed it inside a tall pitcher with a long, narrow neck.

The crane easily put his long beak inside the pitcher and enjoyed his meal. Meanwhile, the poor fox sat helplessly, sniffing the food but unable to eat a single bite. His mouth watered, and he tried again and again to reach the food, but it was no use.

The crane smiled and politely asked, “Why aren’t you eating, dear friend? Don’t you like the food?” He repeated this again and again, just as the fox had done the day before.

The fox felt ashamed. He now realized that the crane was very clever. As he walked home, still hungry, he muttered to himself, “Tit for tat!”
