The Naughty Boys and the Frogs

There was a pond full of frogs. Some of them often put their heads out of the water and croaked loudly. One day, some boys were playing by the side of the pond. The pond was a peaceful place, surrounded by tall grass and colorful wildflowers. It was home to many families of frogs, from tiny bright green ones to large, deep-voiced bullfrogs. On this particular sunny afternoon, three friends—Ratul, Siam, and Fahim—were walking back from their school. They were looking for some excitement to kill time before heading home.

When they reached the edge of the pond, they noticed the frogs enjoying the cool water. Every now and then, a frog would pop its head up and let out a happy croak, enjoying the warmth of the sun. To the boys, this seemed like the perfect opportunity for a game. "Let's see who has the best aim!" Ratul suggested, picking up a smooth, heavy stone from the path.

The other two joined in immediately. They began throwing stones into the water with all their might, aiming directly at the spots where the frogs appeared. Whenever a stone landed near a frog or made a big splash, the boys would cheer and laugh. They didn't think about the pain they were causing; to them, it was just a test of skill and a way to pass the afternoon. They weren't trying to be "evil" in their own minds; they were simply being thoughtless and indifferent to the lives of the small creatures.

Suddenly, a large, elderly frog with wise, bulging eyes swam toward the shallow bank, very close to where the boys were standing. He didn't hide; instead, he stayed still and looked directly at them. The boys paused, surprised and curious about why this frog wasn't jumping away in fear like the others.

"Please, young masters," the old frog seemed to say in a croaky but steady voice. "Why are you attacking us? What have we done to harm you?"

Fahim laughed and replied, "We aren't attacking you! We're just having a bit of fun. It’s just a game to see who can hit the target."

The old frog sighed sadly, his throat swelling as he spoke. "I understand that it is fun for you," he replied. "But have you considered what it is for us? To you, this is a sport, but to us, it is a matter of life and death. Every stone you throw breaks a limb or takes the life of one of my family members. Your 'fun' is our tragedy."

The boys went silent. They looked at the stones still clutched in their hands and then at the ripples in the water where the other frogs were hiding in terror. The realization hit them hard. They hadn't intended to be cruel, but their lack of empathy had caused real suffering. Feeling deeply ashamed, Ratul dropped his stone into the grass. Siam and Fahim did the same.

"We are so sorry," Ratul whispered, realizing that their amusement had come at a terrible price. They realized that true strength isn't about hurting those who are smaller; it’s about respecting all living things. From that day on, the boys became the protectors of the pond, making sure the frogs could croak in peace.

Moral: What is play to one is death to another.

বঙ্গানুবাদ:

দুষ্টু বালক ও ব্যাঙের দল

সেখানে ব্যাঙভর্তি একটি পুকুর ছিল। তাদের মধ্যে কেউ কেউ প্রায়ই পানির ওপর মাথা তুলে জোরে জোরে ডাকত। একদিন কিছু ছেলে পুকুরের পাশে খেলা করছিল। পুকুরটি ছিল খুব শান্ত একটি জায়গা, যা লম্বা ঘাস এবং রঙিন বুনো ফুলে ঘেরা ছিল। সেখানে অনেক ব্যাঙের পরিবার বাস করত—ছোট ছোট উজ্জ্বল সবুজ ব্যাঙ থেকে শুরু করে বড় বড় গম্ভীর কণ্ঠের ষাঁড় ব্যাঙ পর্যন্ত। সেদিন রৌদ্রোজ্জ্বল বিকেলে তিন বন্ধু—রাতুল, সিয়াম এবং ফাহিম—স্কুল থেকে ফিরছিল। বাড়িতে ফেরার আগে তারা কিছুটা সময় কাটানোর জন্য মজার কিছু খুঁজছিল।

যখন তারা পুকুরের ধারে পৌঁছাল, তারা দেখল ব্যাঙগুলো শীতল পানিতে বেশ আনন্দ করছে। মাঝেমধ্যেই এক একটি ব্যাঙ মাথা তুলে সুখী মনে ডাক দিচ্ছিল আর সূর্যের আলো উপভোগ করছিল। ছেলেদের কাছে এটি একটি খেলার দারুণ সুযোগ বলে মনে হলো। "দেখা যাক কার লক্ষ্য সবচেয়ে ভালো!" পথ থেকে একটি মসৃণ ও ভারী পাথর তুলে নিয়ে রাতুল প্রস্তাব দিল।

বাকি দুজনও সাথে সাথে যোগ দিল। তারা তাদের সর্বশক্তি দিয়ে পানিতে পাথর ছুড়তে শুরু করল, ঠিক যেখান থেকে ব্যাঙগুলো মাথা তুলছিল সেই লক্ষ্য করে। যখনই কোনো পাথর ব্যাঙের কাছে পড়ত বা বড় কোনো ঢেউ তৈরি করত, ছেলেরা উল্লাস করত আর হাসত। তারা যে কষ্ট দিচ্ছিল সে সম্পর্কে একবারও ভাবল না; তাদের কাছে এটি ছিল কেবল দক্ষতার পরীক্ষা আর বিকেল কাটানোর একটি উপায়। তারা নিজেদের মনে "শয়তান" হতে চায়নি; তারা কেবল অবুঝের মতো ছোট প্রাণীদের জীবনের প্রতি উদাসীন ছিল।

হঠাৎ এক বিশাল বয়স্ক ব্যাঙ যার চোখগুলো ছিল বুদ্ধিদীপ্ত, পুকুরের তীরের একদম কাছে সাঁতরে এল যেখানে ছেলেরা দাঁড়িয়ে ছিল। সে লুকিয়ে না থেকে স্থির হয়ে সরাসরি তাদের দিকে তাকাল। ছেলেরা থমকে গেল, তারা অবাক হলো কেন এই ব্যাঙটি অন্যদের মতো ভয়ে পালিয়ে যাচ্ছে না।

"দয়া করে থামো, খোকা," বৃদ্ধ ব্যাঙটি যেন ভাঙা কিন্তু স্থির কণ্ঠে বলতে চাইল। "তোমরা কেন আমাদের আক্রমণ করছ? আমরা তোমাদের কী ক্ষতি করেছি?"

ফাহিম হেসে উত্তর দিল, "আমরা তোমাদের আক্রমণ করছি না! আমরা তো শুধু একটু মজা করছি। কার লক্ষ্য ঠিকঠাক লাগে তা দেখার জন্য এটি একটি খেলা মাত্র।"

বৃদ্ধ ব্যাঙটি দীর্ঘশ্বাস ফেলল, কথা বলার সময় তার গলা ফুলে উঠছিল। সে উত্তর দিল, "আমি বুঝতে পারছি এটি তোমাদের জন্য মজার। কিন্তু তোমরা কি ভেবে দেখেছ এটি আমাদের জন্য কী? তোমাদের কাছে এটি একটি খেলা, কিন্তু আমাদের কাছে এটি জীবন-মরণের প্রশ্ন। তোমাদের ছোড়া প্রতিটি পাথর আমার পরিবারের সদস্যদের অঙ্গহানি করছে অথবা প্রাণ কেড়ে নিচ্ছে। তোমাদের 'মজা' আমাদের জন্য চরম ট্র্যাজেডি।"

ছেলেরা স্তব্ধ হয়ে গেল। তারা তাদের হাতে ধরা পাথরের দিকে তাকাল এবং তারপর পানির ঢেউয়ের দিকে তাকাল যেখানে অন্য ব্যাঙগুলো আতঙ্কে লুকিয়ে ছিল। এই উপলব্ধি তাদের মনে গভীর দাগ কাটল। তারা নিষ্ঠুর হতে চায়নি, কিন্তু তাদের সহমর্মিতার অভাব প্রকৃত যন্ত্রণার কারণ হয়েছিল। লজ্জিত হয়ে রাতুল তার হাতের পাথরটি ঘাসের ওপর ফেলে দিল। সিয়াম ও ফাহিমও একই কাজ করল।

"আমরা সত্যিই দুঃখিত," রাতুল ফিসফিস করে বলল। সে বুঝতে পারল তাদের আনন্দ এক ভয়াবহ মূল্যের বিনিময়ে আসছিল। তারা উপলব্ধি করল যে প্রকৃত শক্তি ছোটদের আঘাত করার মধ্যে নেই; বরং প্রতিটি প্রাণীকে সম্মান করার মধ্যে রয়েছে। সেদিন থেকে সেই ছেলেরা পুকুরের রক্ষক হয়ে উঠল এবং নিশ্চিত করল যেন ব্যাঙগুলো শান্তিতে ডাকতে পারে।

মূলকথা: একজনের কাছে যা খেলা, অন্যের কাছে তা মৃত্যু।

The Naughty Boys and The Frogs

There was a pond full of frogs. Some of them often put their heads out of the water and croaked loudly. One day some boys were playing by the side of the pond. They were so naughty that whatever they found turned it into a new game, whether it was good or harmful. The people remained anxious for those wicked boys. They were many in number. They used to run here and there. Again they did not pay heed to anybody’s advice. 

When one day they heard the frogs croaking they began to throw stones at the frogs and made fun. The frogs were very much puzzled and did not know what to do. They were afraid of getting killed. All the frogs at once went down into the water. But the boys remained standing there with stones in their hands. The new game was a great fun to them. They went on pelting the frogs with stones when they raised their head above the water. Thus many frogs were hit hard and few were killed. 

At last an old frog raised its head and said, “Dear little boys, why do you hurt us? Oh boys please!  please!  Stop the fun. Don’t throw stones at us. We don’t do any harm to you. Why do you become so cruel to us? Some of us have already died. Many of us have been hurt.”

“We’re just playing. We don’t hurt you. We’re only throwing the stones,” The boys said. The old frog said to the boys, “Please stop you cruel play. Because what’s play to you is death to us.” the boys became very sorry and ashamed. So they stopped their game and went home.

The naughty Boys and the Frogs

In a certain village, there existed a pond that was notorious for its murky and unclean water. The pond was home to many frogs, who spent their days in the water, enjoying each other's company. One day, a group of boys happened to pass by the pond and noticed the presence of frogs, crabs, and snails. Without warning, they began to hurl stones at the unsuspecting amphibians, finding it amusing to see them scatter and jump. Some of the frogs were injured, and others lay dying. The boys were relentless in their cruel sport, throwing more stones with each passing moment. The frogs were distraught, unsure of how to save themselves from the unprovoked violence.

In an effort to reason with the boys, the oldest and wisest frog among them approached the children and asked, "Dear little boys, why are you pelting us with stones? We have never done any harm to you. Why are you being so cruel to us? Some of us have already perished, and many more of us have been injured." The boys, who were under the impression that they were just playing, replied, "We are only having fun. We don't mean to hurt you. We are only throwing stones."

The old frog then made a plea to the boys, saying, "I implore you to stop this cruel game of yours, for what seems like play to you could result in death for us." The boys, realizing the error of their ways, felt remorseful for their cruel behavior. They ceased their violent activities and left the pond with heavy hearts, vowing never to harm the innocent creatures again.

একটা সময়ের কথা, একটা পুকুর ছিল, যেখানে অনেক ব্যাঙ থাকত। কিছু ব্যাঙ মাঝে মাঝে মাথা তুলে পানির উপর উঠে জোরে জোরে ডাকত। একদিন, কিছু ছেলে পুকুরের পাশে খেলছিল। ব্যাঙদের ডাক শুনে ওরা ভাবল,

আচ্ছা, মজা হবে যদি পাথর ছুঁড়ি! তাই ওরা ব্যাঙদের দিকে পাথর ছুঁড়তে শুরু করল। ছেলেরা হেসে মজা পেল, কিন্তু ব্যাঙগুলো আঘাত পেয়ে তাড়াতাড়ি পানির নিচে সরে গেল।

ছেলেরা কিন্তু সেখানেই দাঁড়িয়ে থাকল, অপেক্ষা করতে লাগল ব্যাঙগুলো আবার মাথা তুলবে। একটু পর যখন ব্যাঙগুলো মাথা তুলে এল, ছেলেরা আবার পাথর ছুঁড়ল। অনেক ব্যাঙ আঘাত পেল, কিছু ব্যাঙ সাথে সাথেই মারা গেল।

অবশেষে, এক বয়স্ক ব্যাঙ মাথা তুলে বলল, এই ছেলেরা, দয়া করে এই খেলা বন্ধ করো। আমাদের দিকে পাথর ছুঁড়ো না।

ছেলেরা বলল, আমরা তো শুধু খেলছি, মজা করছি। কেন থামব?

বুড়ো ব্যাঙ কষ্ট পেয়ে বলল, তোমাদের জন্য এটা খেলা হতে পারে, কিন্তু আমাদের জন্য এটা মৃত্যু।

ব্যাঙের এই কথা শুনে ছেলেদের মন খারাপ হয়ে গেল। তারা বুঝতে পারল, তারা ভুল করেছে। তাই লজ্জা পেয়ে তারা সেখান থেকে চলে গেল, আর কখনো ব্যাঙদের দিকে পাথর ছুঁড়ল না।
