Socrates was the greatest Greek philosopher. He was a man of uncouth appearance. He was married to Xanthippe, who had a reputation of being scolded.

He interrogated those who had a reputation for wisdom and refuted them. He thus made enemies and was finally accused of impiety. He was condemned by a narrow majority of judges and sentence to death by drinking a cup of hemlock. When the sentence was pronounced he said to the judge, "Now I'm going to die and you to live.

Bangla Translation:


রাজা রবার্ট ব্রুস এবং মাকড়সা


একসময় স্কটল্যান্ডে একজন রাজা ছিলেন। তার নাম ছিল রবার্ট ব্রুস। তিনি একজন মহান রাজা ছিলেন। তার প্রজারা তাকে খুব ভালোবাসত। তিনি জনপ্রিয়তা, সুনাম এবং খ্যাতির সাথে তার দেশ শাসন করতেন। কিন্তু দুর্ভাগ্যের কারণে তিনি তার রাজ্য হারান। একবার তার শত্রুরা তার বিরুদ্ধে যুদ্ধ করে তাকে তার রাজ্য থেকে তাড়িয়ে দেয়।  রাজা তার অনেক বিশ্বস্ত সৈন্য এবং প্রজাদের নিয়ে একটি বনে গিয়ে একটি গুহায় আশ্রয় নেন। তিনি সেখানে অলস বসে থাকেননি। তিনি একটি সৈন্যদল গঠন করে বারবার তার শত্রুদের আক্রমণ করেন। তিনি তার দেশের স্বাধীনতা পুনরুদ্ধারের জন্য সাহসিকতার সাথে বেশ কয়েকটি যুদ্ধ করেছিলেন কিন্তু প্রতিবারই পরাজিত হন।  তিনি প্রায় ছয়বার তার শত্রুদের আক্রমণ করেছিলেন। স্বাভাবিকভাবেই তিনি খুব দুঃখিত ছিলেন। তিনি হতাশ হয়ে পড়েন এবং যুদ্ধ না করার সিদ্ধান্ত নেন। একদিন তিনি চিন্তামগ্ন অবস্থায় একটি গুহায় শুয়ে ছিলেন। তারপর সে দেখতে পেল একটি মাকড়সা তার রেশমী সুতোর সাহায্যে গুহার ছাদে পৌঁছানোর জন্য আপ্রাণ চেষ্টা করছে। মাকড়সা বারবার উপরে ওঠার চেষ্টা করেছিল কিন্তু প্রতিবারই পড়ে গিয়েছিল। মাকড়সার একের পর এক ছয়টি প্রচেষ্টা ব্যর্থ হয়েছিল। তবুও সে হাল ছাড়েনি এবং চেষ্টা চালিয়ে যায়। ব্রুস গভীর আগ্রহের সাথে মাকড়সাটিকে পর্যবেক্ষণ করে দেখে যে মাকড়সার সপ্তম প্রচেষ্টা সফল হয়েছে। মাকড়সার অধ্যবসায় ব্রুসকে উৎসাহিত করেছিল। সে আশার আলো দেখতে পেয়েছিল। সে মাকড়সার কাছ থেকে শিক্ষা নিয়েছিল যে অধ্যবসায় সকল সাফল্যের চাবিকাঠি।  নতুন আশায় ভরপুর সে তার ছড়িয়ে ছিটিয়ে থাকা বাহিনীকে একত্রিত করে এবং নতুন শক্তি নিয়ে আবারও তার শত্রুদের মুখোমুখি হয়। এবার সে তাদের পরাজিত করতে সফল হয় এবং তার হারানো রাজ্য ফিরে পায়।
