A Promise to Keep Dilara, a thirteen-year-old girl, lives in Swapnopur with her poor parents and two younger siblings. Life is tough for her family because her parents, who are illiterate, struggle to earn enough money to support everyone. Despite their challenges, Dilara dreams of changing her family’s situation by receiving a good education. To make that dream come true, she promises herself that she will study hard from then on. One day, one of her teachers told her that some schools in Swapnopur offer scholarships to bright students. A scholarship would help Dilara continue her education, so she worked with great determination to do well in her exams. Her hard work paid off when she achieved excellent results, and the school rewarded her and other top students with a bundle of books to celebrate their achievements. Dilara read all of her books long before the New Year. She was motivated by the idea that if she worked hard, good things would happen. But the road ahead was not as easy as she had hoped. Sometimes, despite working hard, the results are not always as expected. However, Dilara’s promise to herself gave her the strength to keep going. She decided that no matter how uncertain the future might be, she would not let uncertainty hold her back. She would continue to work hard, knowing that perseverance and determination would lead her to a brighter future. Moral: Hard work and determination are key to overcoming challenges, even when the future seems uncertain. Bilkis / Feroza Changes Her Life: Once there lived a middle-aged woman         Once upon a time, in a small village nestled amidst the verdant countryside, there dwelt a resolute and hardworking middle-aged woman by the name of Bilkis, who was entrusted with the task of providing for her family of five comprising of her husband and three sons. Despite her assiduous efforts, the onerous burden of making ends meet fell solely on her shoulders, for her spouse was a lethargic individual who did not make any contribution towards their sustenance.   One day, Bilkis had a serendipitous encounter with a group of philanthropic individuals from the Grameen Bank, who expressed their eagerness to assist indigent, landless and vulnerable people. Grasping the opportunity with both hands, she applied for a loan of three thousand taka from the Bank and was approved. Armed with this loan, she proceeded to purchase a dheki and some paddy, and embarked on her journey towards financial independence.   Undeterred by the arduous struggles that lay ahead, Bilkis and her husband began to meticulously plan out their future course of action. They first constructed a thatched hut to provide shelter for themselves and their children, sparing them from the elements. Subsequently, Bilkis sold the rice in the market, reaping a considerable profit that allowed her to repay the first instalment of her loan, as well as purchase food and clothing for her offspring.   Through sheer perseverance and unflagging determination, Bilkis persevered through the trials and tribulations that lay ahead, emerging triumphant in her struggle for existence. Her tireless efforts had borne fruit, culminating in a life of dignity and self-reliance for her and her family.   A Struggling Woman                   Feroza is a name of a woman who struggled much for herself and her family.

Ans.     Struggle of Existence Once there lived a middle-aged woman named Meena. She had three sons. Her husband was very lazy and he did not do any work. None but she had to work all day long to earn money for the family. One day she met a group of people who came to her village from the Grameen Bank. They said they were interested in helping the poor people,* the landless and the helpless. She learnt from them that they would provide loan particularly to the rural poor women. He became a member of the Grameen Bank. After a month she got a.loan of five thousand takes. ':'hen she bought a dheki and some paddy with the money. First she and her husband made a thatched hut. The profit that she made was enough to repay the first installment and buy food and clothes for her children. She sold the rice in the market and made a good profit. In this way she changed her lot. There are many unemployed women in our rural areas. 'They should follow the self employed woman, Meena who has already changed the wheels of her lot by running a business. Unemployment is a curse. So one should not be unemployed in society.           Industry is the Key to Success:   Muna / Feroza , a young girl hailing from a destitute farmer's family, was deprived of education by her father due to their impoverished circumstances. Eventually, at the tender age of fifteen, her parents arranged her marriage to a man of similar means. Alas, the groom proved indolent, lacking any inclination towards work. Thus, Muna/Feroza had to toil relentlessly to support her family. However, she was plagued with a persistent fear: what if she gave birth to a female child? The specter of penury loomed large, and she yearned to find a way to earn a livelihood.   In her quest for a solution, Muna/Feroza sought the guidance of her cousin, who was affiliated with a youth training center. He suggested that she receive training in poultry farming. Muna/Feroza took his advice and diligently completed the course. Subsequently, she obtained a loan of 10,000 Taka from the training center under lenient terms. Using the loan, she initiated a poultry farm at her home and diligently tended to the birds. Her chickens and ducks thrived under her care, attaining robust health. Eventually, she sold them in the market and earned a substantial sum of money. After clearing the loan, Muna obtained a larger loan from the training center and invested the funds in profitable ventures, effectively running her own business.   Through her hard work and perseverance, Muna/Feroza transformed her fortunes, ascending to the status of a wealthy woman. She now enjoys a peaceful life and can afford to send her daughter to school, nurturing the hope that her offspring will attain higher education and enlighten society.   Bilkis / Feroza Changes Her Life   Once upon a time, in a small village nestled amidst the verdant countryside, there dwelt a resolute and hardworking middle-aged woman by the name of Bilkis, who was entrusted with the task of providing for her family of five comprising of her husband and three sons.

Moral : Bangla Translation: একটি প্রতিশ্রুতিশীল এবং সংগ্রামী কিংবদন্তি   ফিরোজা একজন মহিলার নাম যিনি নিজের এবং তার পরিবারের জন্য অনেক সংগ্রাম করেছেন। তার জীবন এতটাই করুণ এবং সংগ্রামী ছিল যে কেউ চোখের জল ফেলতে পারে না।                 ফিরোজার শৈশব ছিল দুঃখে ভরা। তার জীবনে কখনো সুখের মুহূর্ত আসেনি। খাদ্যের চাওয়া, বাসস্থানের চাওয়া এবং বস্ত্রের অভাব ছিল তার নিত্যদিনের সঙ্গী। তিনি যখন বারো বছর বয়সে 24 বছর বয়সী একজন বেকার লোককে বিয়ে করেছিলেন। ফিরোজা তার স্বামীর ঘরে সুখের চেয়ে বেশি চাওয়া দেখেছিল। ফিরোজাই নিজের, শাশুড়ি ও স্বামীর ভরণপোষণের জন্য এক মুঠো শস্যের জন্য কাজ করতেন। আর এভাবেই তার সংগ্রামী জীবন শুরু হয়।                   তার প্রথম ছেলের জন্ম হয়েছিল যখন তার বয়স ছিল 19। সন্তানের জন্ম মানেই অন্য মুখ খাওয়ানো। দ্বিতীয় পুত্রের জন্মের সাথে সাথে ফিরোজার পরিশ্রমের দিন আরও কঠিন হয়ে ওঠে। তার স্বামী তখনও কাজ করতে ইচ্ছুক ছিলেন না এবং তাই, তাকে পাঁচটি মুখ খাওয়ানোর জন্য আরও কঠোর পরিশ্রম করতে হয়েছিল। সকাল থেকে আঁধার পর্যন্ত সে কাজ করেছে, কাজ করেছে। যখন তিনি 24 বছর বয়সে তার তৃতীয় পুত্রের জন্ম হয়। প্রতিদিনই ফিরোজার জন্য কঠিন হয়ে উঠল। সে যতই কঠোর পরিশ্রম করুক না কেন সে কখনই সবাইকে খাওয়ানোর জন্য যথেষ্ট উপার্জন করতে পারেনি।   ফিরোজার স্বামীর চাকরি ছিল না তাই তাদের জীবন খুব কঠিন ছিল। যখন কোন কাজ ছিল না, তখন তাকে এবং তার স্বামী এবং সন্তানদের দিন ধরে অনাহারে থাকতে হয়েছিল। এক পর্যায়ে তাদের কুঁড়েঘর বিক্রি করতে হয়। তখন পুরো পরিবারকে একটি গাছের নিচে থাকতে হয়। ফিরোজা তার সন্তানদের তাকিয়ে থাকার জন্য যেকোনো কাজ করতেন। গ্রামবাসীরা তাকে পাগল ভেবে তাকে জ্বালাতন করত। অল্পবয়সী ছেলে-মেয়েরা তার পিছু পিছু ছুটে যেত তাকে পাথর ছুঁড়ে মারতো, হাসতো এবং মজা করতো। ফিরোজা সূর্যোদয়ের আগে ঘুম থেকে উঠে ধান কাটতে ক্ষেতে যেতেন এবং অন্ধকার হয়ে গেলে এবং বাচ্চারা আশেপাশে না থাকলে বাড়ি ফিরে আসেন। ফিরোজা কখনো ভাবেনি যে তার পরিশ্রমের দিন শেষ হবে।                  ফিরোজা তার পরিবার এবং নিজের বেঁচে থাকার জন্য লড়াই করছিলেন। দিনগুলো কঠিন ছিল। দিনে দিনে কাজ আরও দুষ্প্রাপ্য হয়ে ওঠে। একদিন সে গ্রামীণ ব্যাংকের কথা জানতে পারে। তিনি ব্যাংকের সদস্য হন, একটি ঋণ নেন এবং তার নিজের 'ধানের খোসা' ব্যবসা শুরু করেন।  ধীরে ধীরে তিনি তার অবস্থার উন্নতি করতে সক্ষম হন এবং গ্রামীণ ব্যাংক থেকে যে ঋণ নিয়েছিলেন তা পরিশোধ করতে সক্ষম হন। তারপরে তিনি একটি বড় ঋণ নিয়ে তার ভুসি ব্যবসার পাশাপাশি একটি স্থায়ী দোকান শুরু করেন। তিনি বয়স্ক সাক্ষরতা কেন্দ্রে গিয়ে পড়তে এবং লিখতে শিখেছিলেন। কয়েক বছর পর তার খারাপ দিন শেষ হয়ে গেল। তার স্বচ্ছলতা, নিরাপত্তা এবং সুখ ছিল।   A Promise to Keep রক্ষার প্রতিশ্রুতি 1. Dilara, a thirteen-year-old girl, lives in Swapnopur with her poor parents and two younger siblings. ১৩ বছর বয়সী এক মেয়ে দিলারা, স্বপ্নপুরে তার গরিব বাবা-মা এবং দুই ছোট ভাইবোনের সঙ্গে থাকে। 2. Life is tough for her family because her parents, who are illiterate, struggle to earn enough money to support everyone. তার পরিবারের জীবন কঠিন, কারণ তার বাবা-মা নিরক্ষর এবং সবাইকে চালানোর জন্য যথেষ্ট উপার্জন করতে হিমশিম খাচ্ছেন। 3. Despite their challenges, Dilara dreams of changing her family’s situation by receiving a good education. এই সব কঠিনতার মাঝেও, দিলারা স্বপ্ন দেখে ভালো শিক্ষা নিয়ে পরিবারের অবস্থা বদলে দেওয়ার। 4. To make that dream come true, she promises herself that she will study hard from then on. স্বপ্নটা পূরণ করতে, সে নিজের কাছে প্রতিজ্ঞা করে যে, সে তখন থেকেই মন দিয়ে পড়াশোনা করবে। 5. One day, one of her teachers told her that some schools in Swapnopur offer scholarships to bright students. একদিন, তার এক শিক্ষক তাকে জানান যে স্বপ্নপুরের কিছু স্কুল মেধাবী শিক্ষার্থীদের বৃত্তি দেয়। 6. A scholarship would help Dilara continue her education, so she worked with great determination to do well in her exams. একটি বৃত্তি পেলে দিলারার পড়াশোনা চালিয়ে যাওয়া সহজ হবে, তাই সে প্রবল দৃঢ়তা নিয়ে পরীক্ষায় ভালো করার চেষ্টা করে। 7. Her hard work paid off when she achieved excellent results, and the school rewarded her and other top students with a bundle of books to celebrate their achievements. তার কঠোর পরিশ্রম সফল হয় যখন সে অসাধারণ ফলাফল করে, আর স্কুল তাকে এবং অন্যান্য কৃতি শিক্ষার্থীদের একটি করে বইয়ের প্যাকেট উপহার দেয় তাদের সাফল্যের স্বীকৃতি হিসেবে। 8. Dilara read all of her books long before the New Year. দিলারা বছরের শুরু হওয়ার অনেক আগেই সব বই পড়ে ফেলে। 9. She was motivated by the idea that if she worked hard, good things would happen. সে এই ভাবনায় উদ্বুদ্ধ হয় যে, যদি কঠোর পরিশ্রম করে, তবে ভালো কিছু হবেই। 10. But the road ahead was not as easy as she had hoped. কিন্তু সামনে যে পথ, তা সে যেমন ভেবেছিল ততটা সহজ ছিল না। 11. Sometimes, despite working hard, the results are not always as expected. অনেক সময়, কঠোর পরিশ্রম করলেও ফলাফল প্রত্যাশিত হয় না। 12. However, Dilara’s promise to herself gave her the strength to keep going. তবুও, নিজের কাছে করা প্রতিশ্রুতি দিলারাকে এগিয়ে যেতে সাহস জুগিয়েছে। 13. She decided that no matter how uncertain the future might be, she would not let uncertainty hold her back. সে সিদ্ধান্ত নেয়, ভবিষ্যৎ যতই অনিশ্চিত হোক না কেন, এই অনিশ্চয়তা তাকে দমিয়ে রাখতে পারবে না। 14. She would continue to work hard, knowing that perseverance and determination would lead her to a brighter future. সে কঠোর পরিশ্রম চালিয়ে যাবে, কারণ সে জানে যে ধৈর্য আর সংকল্প তাকে একটি উজ্জ্বল ভবিষ্যতের দিকে নিয়ে যাবে। Moral: Hard work and determination are key to overcoming challenges, even when the future seems uncertain. নীতিবাক্য: কঠোর পরিশ্রম ও দৃঢ় সংকল্পই যেকোনো চ্যালেঞ্জ কাটিয়ে উঠার চাবিকাঠি, এমনকি যখন ভবিষ্যৎ অনিশ্চিত মনে হয়।

IP.he baker won? lei me feel t.he bread?; you mean to say that after all you are really going to be the kind of woman who the bake/ won't let near the bread? Short Answer Questions A 1. Is it a story about a mother and daughter? Do you find the mother and daughter familiar to you? Yes, it is a story about a mother and daughter. The mother is giving her daughter advice and instructions on how to behave, manage household tasks, and conduct herself in society. The mother-daughter relationship portrayed here might feel familiar, especially in cultures where older generations pass down practical knowledge and behavioral expectations to the younger ones. 2. What is the cultural identity of the speaker and listener? The cultural identity appears to be rooted in a traditional, possibly Caribbean or African diaspora setting. The mention of tasks like washing clothes on specific days, preparing traditional foods like pumpkin fritters and pepper pot, and gender-specific behavioral advice reflects a cultural background that emphasizes gender roles and practical domestic skills. 3. What is 'henna'? Henna is a natural dye made from the leaves of the henna plant, traditionally used for body art and hair coloring in many cultures, especially in South Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. In the story, "henna" could symbolize a cultural or religious activity associated with Sunday school. 4. What is the importance of gender in the story? If the girl in "Girl" were a boy, would the mother be telling him the same things? Gender plays a significant role in the story. The advice the mother gives is highly gender-specific, reflecting traditional expectations for women. The mother emphasizes domestic skills, proper behavior, and avoiding being labeled a "slut," which are stereotypes often associated with women. If the character were a boy, the mother would likely give entirely different advice, focusing on skills and behavior deemed appropriate for men in the same cultural context, such as providing or maintaining discipline. 5. If the father were talking instead of the mother, would he say the same? If the father were speaking, the tone and content of the advice would likely be different. Fathers, in traditional settings, might focus more on moral lessons, discipline, or societal expectations rather than detailed instructions on domestic tasks and behavior. However, the cultural context would influence what the father might emphasize, and the gendered advice could still persist but in a different form.

Reflection on Gender and the Quote: "One is not born a woman, one becomes a woman." The story portrays how women are shaped by societal expectations through daily chores and behavior rules. It emphasizes the transmission of gender roles, as a mother educates a daughter on what is expected of her. The instructions are strict and focus on domestic tasks, symbolizing the restrictive roles assigned to women. The narrative suggests that becoming a woman is a process of learning and conformity. There’s a constant warning against improper behavior, reflecting society’s scrutiny of women. The emphasis on presentation, like smiling and setting tables, shows how women are judged by their outward behavior. Men’s roles, such as bullying and authority, are indirectly outlined, contrasting women’s nurturing tasks. The repeated warnings imply that a woman’s worth is tied to her behavior and how society perceives her. The story critiques how cultural norms restrict women’s individuality. It reflects that gender identity is more about societal constructs than biological attributes. II.

So, I should like to have you in our midst at our village home during the vacation. Ours is a nice village which is full of natural beauty. Besides this, you know that summer is the season of fruits. Different kinds of fruits are available in plenty in our village. But these are not available in the town. The weather of our village is also good. Our village stands beside the Karnafully. So we can have a morning walk by the green banks of the river. We will have our breakfast with fried rice, curd, mangoes and bananas. Then we can read some books or play indoor games. At noon we will swim in the river. There we shall also catch fish in the afternoon. We will climb up trees and pluck fruits from the trees of our garden. We will chat and sing in the moonlit night outside our house. Please be sure to come to our house this time so that we may enjoy ourselves for a few days here.

A Lesson for the Ungrateful Tiger One day a tiger was trapped in a Pit. He asked a passing traveller Ruben by name to rescue him. Ruben took pity on the tiger. He poked a long branch into the pit and the tiger crawled out. Being danger free the tiger turned on Ruben and was about to eat him. A toad living nearby under a rock saw everything. Ruben got furious. He protested and chided the tiger. He said to the tiger, "How can you be so ungrateful to your benefactor? What wrong have I done by saving you from the death-trap? You simply cannot do what you want to?" The tiger looked unmoved and just indifferent to all the touchy arguments put forward by Ruben as his saviour. He requested the tiger in a cold voice , "Never mind my dear friend! As you know I have to live on flesh of the humans or the flesh of any other animals. That's my destiny. So, 1 find nothing wrong in what I want to do to you. So, I must eat you to appease my hunger. I am sorry, presently I am left with no other alternative." "Well, let's have the judgment of some one else in this regard or it will be simply a one sided game where you play the most role." Meanwhile a toad who had watched the whole affair appeared on the scene. Ruben told the toad of the tiger's ingratitude, but the tiger insisted that he was hungry and meant to eat Ruben. "I must look into the case more closely", said the toad." Will you show me the place where it happened?" So they took the toad along to the pit. On reaching there the toad said to the tiger, "How did it happen? Let me see just where you were." The tiger in order to demonstrate the event in questions jumped down into the pit and said, "I was down here at the bottom, see." Ruben immediately took the branch out of the pit and said, " Of course, this branch wasn't there then." The tiger finally realised that he had been taught a dire lesson down at the bottom of the pit he was left alone! who knows, may be till his death.     An Intelligent Tortoise One day, a thirsty tiger was drinking water from a river when he noticed a slow-moving tortoise nearby. The tiger was feeling hungry, so with a quick jump, he caught the tortoise in his strong paws. The tiger tried to crush the tortoise’s hard shell with his sharp teeth, but no matter how hard he bit, the shell did not break. He tried again and again, but the result was the same—the shell remained unbreakable. Frustrated, the tiger growled, "Your shell is too strong! But I know how to get rid of you! I will throw you into the fire!" The tortoise felt afraid, but he was also clever. Without showing his fear, he calmly said, "Oh, that's no problem, Sir! Fire is my friend. It keeps me warm and safe." The foolish tiger did not realize that the tortoise was tricking him. He asked again, "So, you are not afraid of fire?" The tortoise replied, "Not at all! Fire loves me, and I love fire." Hearing this, the tiger became angry. He wanted to punish the tortoise in a way that would make him suffer. He thought for a moment and then said, "Then I will throw you into the river instead!" Hearing this, the tortoise felt very happy, but he did not show it. Instead, he pretended to be terrified and cried out, "Oh no! Please don’t throw me into the water! I will surely drown and die!" The foolish tiger laughed loudly, thinking he had finally found a way to get rid of the tortoise. Without another thought, he threw the tortoise into the river. As soon as the tortoise hit the water, he happily swam away. The tiger watched in shock, realizing too late that he had been tricked. This story teaches us that intelligence is more powerful than strength. A clever mind can overcome any danger, no matter how powerful the enemy is. An Intelligent Tortoise একজন বুদ্ধিমান কচ্ছপ One day, a thirsty tiger was drinking water from a river when he noticed a slow-moving tortoise nearby. একদিন, একটি পিপাসার্ত বাঘ নদী থেকে পানি খাচ্ছিল যখন সে পাশে ধীরে চলা একটি কচ্ছপকে লক্ষ্য করল। The tiger was feeling hungry, so with a quick jump, he caught the tortoise in his strong paws. বাঘটি তখন ক্ষুধার্ত ছিল, তাই দ্রুত ঝাঁপিয়ে পড়ে সে কচ্ছপটিকে তার শক্তিশালী থাবায় ধরে ফেলল। The tiger tried to crush the tortoise’s hard shell with his sharp teeth, but no matter how hard he bit, the shell did not break. বাঘটি তার তীক্ষ্ণ দাঁত দিয়ে কচ্ছপের শক্ত খোলসটি ভেঙে ফেলতে চেষ্টা করল, কিন্তু যত জোরেই কামড় দিচ্ছিল, খোলসটি ভাঙছিল না। He tried again and again, but the result was the same—the shell remained unbreakable. সে বারবার চেষ্টা করল, কিন্তু ফলাফল একই ছিল—খোলসটি ভাঙা যাচ্ছিল না। Frustrated, the tiger growled, "Your shell is too strong! But I know how to get rid of you! I will throw you into the fire!" হতাশ হয়ে বাঘটি গর্জে উঠল, "তোমার খোলসটা খুব শক্ত! কিন্তু আমি জানি কীভাবে তোমাকে শেষ করতে হয়! আমি তোমাকে আগুনে ফেলে দেব!" The tortoise felt afraid, but he was also clever. কচ্ছপটি ভয় পেয়েছিল, কিন্তু সে ছিল খুব চালাক। Without showing his fear, he calmly said, "Oh, that's no problem, Sir! Fire is my friend. It keeps me warm and safe." সে তার ভয় না দেখিয়ে শান্তভাবে বলল, "ওহ, এটা কোনো সমস্যা না, স্যার! আগুন তো আমার বন্ধু। এটা আমাকে উষ্ণ ও নিরাপদ রাখে।" The foolish tiger did not realize that the tortoise was tricking him. বোকা বাঘটি বুঝতেই পারল না যে কচ্ছপটি তাকে ঠকাচ্ছে। He asked again, "So, you are not afraid of fire?" সে আবার জিজ্ঞাসা করল, "তাহলে তুমি আগুনকে ভয় পাও না?" The tortoise replied, "Not at all! Fire loves me, and I love fire." কচ্ছপটি উত্তর দিল, "একেবারেই না! আগুন আমাকে ভালোবাসে, আর আমিও আগুনকে ভালোবাসি।" Hearing this, the tiger became angry. He wanted to punish the tortoise in a way that would make him suffer. এ কথা শুনে বাঘটি রেগে গেল। সে চেয়েছিল কচ্ছপটিকে এমনভাবে শাস্তি দিতে, যাতে সে কষ্ট পায়। He thought for a moment and then said, "Then I will throw you into the river instead!" সে এক মুহূর্ত ভাবল এবং বলল, "তাহলে আমি তোমাকে নদীতে ফেলে দেব!" Hearing this, the tortoise felt very happy, but he did not show it. এ কথা শুনে কচ্ছপটি খুব খুশি হল, কিন্তু সেটা সে প্রকাশ করল না। Instead, he pretended to be terrified and cried out, "Oh no! Please don’t throw me into the water! I will surely drown and die!" তার বদলে সে ভয় পাওয়ার ভান করে চিৎকার করে বলল, "ওহ না! দয়া করে আমাকে পানিতে ফেলবেন না! আমি নিশ্চয়ই ডুবে যাব আর মরে যাব!" The foolish tiger laughed loudly, thinking he had finally found a way to get rid of the tortoise. বোকা বাঘটি উচ্চস্বরে হেসে উঠল, ভেবে যে সে অবশেষে কচ্ছপটিকে শেষ করার উপায় পেয়েছে। Without another thought, he threw the tortoise into the river. আর কিছু না ভেবেই, সে কচ্ছপটিকে নদীতে ছুঁড়ে ফেলল। As soon as the tortoise hit the water, he happily swam away. কচ্ছপটি পানিতে পড়ার সঙ্গে সঙ্গেই আনন্দের সঙ্গে সাঁতার কেটে দূরে চলে গেল। The tiger watched in shock, realizing too late that he had been tricked. বাঘটি হতবাক হয়ে তাকিয়ে রইল, অনেক দেরিতে বুঝল যে সে ঠকেছে। This story teaches us that intelligence is more powerful than strength. এই গল্পটি আমাদের শেখায় যে বুদ্ধি শক্তির চেয়ে অনেক বেশি শক্তিশালী। A clever mind can overcome any danger, no matter how powerful the enemy is. একজন বুদ্ধিমান ব্যক্তি যেকোনো বিপদ কাটিয়ে উঠতে পারে, শত্রু যতই শক্তিশালী হোক না কেন। Ad অকৃতজ্ঞদের জন্য একটি শিক্ষা একদিন একটি বাঘ একটি গর্তে আটকা পড়ে। সে পথচারী রুবেনের নাম ধরে তাকে উদ্ধার করতে বলল। রুবেন বাঘের প্রতি করুণা বোধ করল। সে গর্তে একটি লম্বা ডাল ঠেলে দিল এবং বাঘটি হামাগুড়ি দিয়ে বেরিয়ে এল। বিপদমুক্ত হয়ে বাঘটি রুবেনের উপর আক্রমণ করল এবং তাকে খেতে উদাসীন হল। পাথরের নীচে থাকা একটি ব্যাঙ সবকিছু দেখতে পেল। রুবেন রেগে গেল। সে প্রতিবাদ করল এবং বাঘকে ধমক দিল। সে বাঘকে বলল, "তুমি তোমার দানকারীর প্রতি এত অকৃতজ্ঞ কিভাবে হতে পারো? তোমাকে মৃত্যুফাঁদ থেকে বাঁচাতে আমি কী অন্যায় করেছি? তুমি যা করতে চাও তা করতে পারো না?" রুবেন তার ত্রাণকর্তা হিসেবে যে সমস্ত স্পর্শকাতর যুক্তি তুলে ধরেছিল তাতে বাঘটি অটল এবং উদাসীন দেখাচ্ছিল। সে ঠান্ডা গলায় বাঘকে অনুরোধ করল, "কিছু মনে করো না আমার প্রিয় বন্ধু! তুমি জানো আমাকে মানুষের মাংস খেয়ে বা অন্য কোন প্রাণীর মাংস খেয়ে বেঁচে থাকতে হবে। এটাই আমার নিয়তি। তাই, আমি তোমার সাথে যা করতে চাই তাতে কোন ভুল খুঁজে পাচ্ছি না। তাই, আমার ক্ষুধা মেটানোর জন্য আমাকে তোমাকে খেতে হবে। আমি দুঃখিত, বর্তমানে আমার আর কোন বিকল্প নেই।" "আচ্ছা, এই বিষয়ে অন্য কারো রায় নেওয়া যাক, নাহলে এটি কেবল একপেশে খেলা হবে যেখানে তুমিই সবচেয়ে বেশি ভূমিকা পালন করবে।" এদিকে একটি ব্যাঙ যে ​​পুরো ঘটনাটি দেখেছিল, ঘটনাস্থলে উপস্থিত হল। রুবেন ব্যাঙকে বাঘের অকৃতজ্ঞতার কথা বলল, কিন্তু বাঘ জোর দিয়ে বলল যে সে ক্ষুধার্ত এবং রুবেনকে খেতে চেয়েছিল। "আমাকে আরও ভালোভাবে ঘটনাটি দেখতে হবে," ব্যাঙটি বলল। "তুমি কি আমাকে সেই জায়গাটি দেখাবে যেখানে এটি ঘটেছে?" তাই তারা ব্যাঙটিকে গর্তে নিয়ে গেল। সেখানে পৌঁছে ব্যাঙটি বাঘকে বলল, "এটা কীভাবে ঘটেছে? আমাকে দেখতে দাও তুমি কোথায় ছিলে।" বাঘটি প্রশ্ন করে ঘটনাটি দেখানোর জন্য গর্তে লাফিয়ে পড়ে বলল, "আমি এখানে নীচে ছিলাম, দেখুন।" রুবেন তৎক্ষণাৎ গর্তে ডালটি তুলে নিয়ে বলল, "অবশ্যই, এই ডালটি তখন সেখানে ছিল না।" বাঘটি অবশেষে বুঝতে পারল যে তাকে গর্তে নীচে একটি ভয়াবহ শিক্ষা দেওয়া হয়েছে যে তাকে একা ফেলে রাখা হয়েছিল! কে জানে, হয়তো তার মৃত্যুর আগ পর্যন্ত থাকবে।

The Purple Jar (Part-2) This time Rosamond was really disappointed as her mother wanted nothing. However, while they were passing by a chemist's shop, she saw some jars—blue, green, red, yellow, and purple—and she seemed to have a fascination for the purple jar. But her mother answered as before, "Of what use would they be to me, Rosamond?” “Oh, Mamma, I would use it for a flower pot.” “But you have a flower pot, and the jar you are dying to buy is not a flower pot.” “Yet, Mamma, I like it so much...!” Then suddenly she cried, “Ouch! A stone, Mamma, a stone has got in my shoe. It hurts!” “Oh! How did it get there?” “See, there's a hole in my shoe, Mamma. In fact, my shoes are quite worn out. Would you be so good as to buy me another pair?” “But, Rosamond, I haven’t got enough money to buy shoes, jars, jewelry, buckles, and all that you wish to buy.” Rosamond became sad again. Her mind flashed back to all those beautiful things she had seen that morning. “But, Mamma, I like the purple jar very much. And now my foot hurts. Could you buy me only these two things—the jar and a pair of shoes, please?” “No, Rosamond, you can buy only one thing. However, you may buy the other thing next month. And you have to decide which one you would like to buy now.” “I need the shoes badly,” Rosamond began to argue with herself, “but my heart is in that beautiful jar.” Then, looking at her shoes, she told her mother, “These shoes are not so bad, except for the hole in one. I think I can make them last till the end of the month, can’t I? Don’t you think so, Mamma?” “I want you to think for yourself, dear.” “Okay, if you please. I would like to have the purple jar.” “Very well, you will have it.” Watch Video Questions with Answers: Answers (a) What caught Rosamond's attention in the chemist's shop?

The Purple Jar (Part-3) Rosamond and her mother were going back to the chemist’s shop. As they were walking, Rosamond had to stop once again to take another stone out of her broken shoe, and she often limped with pain. When they got back to the shop, Rosamond’s mother asked her to carefully examine the jar before she bought it. But Rosamond was so excited that she bought it even without looking at what was inside the jar. Happily, she came back home with her mother. Then, Rosamond quickly brought some flowers from the garden and was going to put them into the jar. But as soon as she took the top off, she saw something dark inside, which gave off an unpleasant smell. “What is it, Mamma? I didn’t want this black thing and the terrible smell.” “Nor did I, my dear.” “But what shall I do with it?” “That I can’t tell.” “Okay, Mamma, I must pour it out and fill the jar with fresh water.” Then she emptied the jar. But to her great disappointment, she found that it was no longer a purple jar—it was a plain white glass jar. With its colored water gone, the jar no longer looked beautiful. Rosamond cried with tears of disappointment in her eyes. She also cried for her folly. Every day her shoes grew worse and worse, and she could neither run, dance, jump, nor go shopping with her mother. Thus, Rosamond suffered for a whole month and learned a lesson the hard way. She hoped that she would be wiser in the future. Watch Video Questions : 1. Why didn't Rosamond examine the jar before buying it? 2. What did she take the jar for? 3.

Bangla Translation: Rosamond and her mother were going back to the chemist’s shop.রোজামন্ড এবং তার মা ফার্মেসির দোকানে ফিরে যাচ্ছিলেন। As they were walking, Rosamond had to stop once again to take another stone out of her broken shoe, and she often limped with pain.তারা হাঁটতে হাঁটতে, রোজামন্ড আবারও তার ভাঙ্গা জুতো থেকে একটি পাথর বের করতে বাধ্য হল, এবং সে প্রায়ই ব্যথায় লঙ্গড়াতে থাকত। When they got back to the shop, Rosamond’s mother asked her to carefully examine the jar before she bought it.যখন তারা দোকানে ফিরে এল, রোজামন্ডের মা তাকে জারটি কেনার আগে সঠিকভাবে পরীক্ষা করতে বললেন। But Rosamond was so excited that she bought it even without looking at what was inside the jar.কিন্তু রোজামন্ড এত উত্তেজিত ছিল যে, সে জারটির ভিতরে কী আছে সেটা না দেখে কিনে ফেলল। Happily, she came back home with her mother.খুশি মনে, সে তার মায়ের সঙ্গে বাড়ি ফিরল। Then, Rosamond quickly brought some flowers from the garden and was going to put them into the jar.তারপর, রোজামন্ড তাড়াতাড়ি বাগান থেকে কিছু ফুল এনে জারটির মধ্যে রাখার জন্য যাচ্ছিল। But as soon as she took the top off, she saw something dark inside, which gave off an unpleasant smell.কিন্তু যখনই সে জারটির ঢাকনা খুলল, তখন সে ভিতরে কিছু কালো জিনিস দেখতে পেল, যা একটি অস্বস্তিকর গন্ধ ছাড়ছিল। “What is it, Mamma? I didn’t want this black thing and the terrible smell.”“এটা কী, মা? আমি এই কালো জিনিস এবং ভয়ানক গন্ধটি চাইনি।” “Nor did I, my dear.”“আমি তো চাইনি, প্রিয়।” “But what shall I do with it?”“তবে আমি এর সঙ্গে কী করব?” “That I can’t tell.”“এটা আমি বলতে পারব না।” “Okay, Mamma, I must pour it out and fill the jar with fresh water.”“ঠিক আছে, মা, আমাকে এটা বের করে দিতে হবে এবং জারটি তাজা পানিতে পূর্ণ করতে হবে।” Then she emptied the jar.তাহলে সে জারটি খালি করে দিল। But to her great disappointment, she found that it was no longer a purple jar—it was a plain white glass jar.কিন্তু তার বড় দুঃখের বিষয়, সে দেখল যে এটি আর বেগুনি জার নয়—এটি একটি সাদা কাচের সাধারণ জার। With its colored water gone, the jar no longer looked beautiful.এর রঙিন পানি চলে যাওয়ার পর, জারটি আর সুন্দর দেখাচ্ছিল না। Rosamond cried with tears of disappointment in her eyes.রোজামন্ড দুঃখে চোখে অশ্রু নিয়ে কাঁদল। She also cried for her folly.সে তার মূর্খতার জন্যও কাঁদল। Every day her shoes grew worse and worse, and she could neither run, dance, jump, nor go shopping with her mother.প্রতিদিন তার জুতো আরও খারাপ হয়ে যাচ্ছিল, এবং সে আর দৌড়াতে, নাচতে, লাফাতে বা তার মায়ের সঙ্গে কেনাকাটা করতে পারছিল না। Thus, Rosamond suffered for a whole month and learned a lesson the hard way.এইভাবে, রোজামন্ড পুরো এক মাস কষ্ট ভোগ করল এবং কঠিনভাবে একটি শিক্ষা শিখল। She hoped that she would be wiser in the future.সে আশা করেছিল যে ভবিষ্যতে সে আরও বুদ্ধিমানের মতো আচরণ করবে। Bangla Translation The Purple Jar (Part-1) রোজামন্ড এবং তার মা ফার্মেসির দোকানে ফিরে যাচ্ছিলেন। তারা হাঁটতে হাঁটতে, রোজামন্ড আবারও তার ভাঙ্গা জুতো থেকে একটি পাথর বের করতে বাধ্য হল, এবং সে প্রায়ই ব্যথায় লঙ্গড়াতে থাকত। যখন তারা দোকানে ফিরে এল, রোজামন্ডের মা তাকে জারটি কেনার আগে সঠিকভাবে পরীক্ষা করতে বললেন। কিন্তু রোজামন্ড এত উত্তেজিত ছিল যে, সে জারটির ভিতরে কী আছে সেটা না দেখে কিনে ফেলল। খুশি মনে, সে তার মায়ের সঙ্গে বাড়ি ফিরল। তারপর, রোজামন্ড তাড়াতাড়ি বাগান থেকে কিছু ফুল এনে জারটির মধ্যে রাখার জন্য যাচ্ছিল। কিন্তু যখনই সে জারটির ঢাকনা খুলল, তখন সে ভিতরে কিছু কালো জিনিস দেখতে পেল, যা একটি অস্বস্তিকর গন্ধ ছাড়ছিল। “এটা কী, মা? আমি এই কালো জিনিস এবং ভয়ানক গন্ধটি চাইনি।” “আমি তো চাইনি, প্রিয়।” “তবে আমি এর সঙ্গে কী করব?” “এটা আমি বলতে পারব না।” “ঠিক আছে, মা, আমাকে এটা বের করে দিতে হবে এবং জারটি তাজা পানিতে পূর্ণ করতে হবে।” তাহলে সে জারটি খালি করে দিল। কিন্তু তার বড় দুঃখের বিষয়, সে দেখল যে এটি আর বেগুনি জার নয়—এটি একটি সাদা কাচের সাধারণ জার। এর রঙিন পানি চলে যাওয়ার পর, জারটি আর সুন্দর দেখাচ্ছিল না। রোজামন্ড দুঃখে চোখে অশ্রু নিয়ে কাঁদল। সে তার মূর্খতার জন্যও কাঁদল। প্রতিদিন তার জুতো আরও খারাপ হয়ে যাচ্ছিল, এবং সে আর দৌড়াতে, নাচতে, লাফাতে বা তার মায়ের সঙ্গে কেনাকাটা করতে পারছিল না। এইভাবে, রোজামন্ড পুরো এক মাস কষ্ট ভোগ করল এবং কঠিনভাবে একটি শিক্ষা শিখল। সে আশা করেছিল যে ভবিষ্যতে সে আরও বুদ্ধিমানের মতো আচরণ করবে। Summary: In this passage, Rosamond and her mother return to the chemist's shop, where Rosamond struggles with her broken shoes, limping in pain. Despite her mother's advice to examine the jar carefully, Rosamond buys it excitedly without checking the contents. At home, when she opens the jar to put flowers in it, she discovers a dark, unpleasant-smelling substance inside. She decides to pour it out, only to find that the jar is now plain white, losing its beautiful purple appearance. Rosamond feels disappointed and regrets her impulsive decision, especially as her shoes continue to worsen. She suffers for a month, learning a valuable lesson about her choices and hoping to be wiser in the future.

The Merchant of Venice The Three Caskets Bassanio went to Belmont to visit Portia, grandly dressed, with many servants. Portia's father had died recently. Before his death, he had thought of an unusual plan to find a good husband for his daughter. He wanted a man to marry Portia for herself and not for her wealth. He had three caskets made: one of gold, one of silver, and one of lead. One of the caskets had Portia's portrait in it. The suitor who would first choose the casket with the portrait would marry her. The first one to try was the Prince of Morocco. He thought that silver and lead were poor metals. It is the casket made of precious metal that can hold the precious picture. So he chose the gold casket. But all he found was a picture of a skull with a message that said, “All that glitters is not gold." The prince was very sad and went back home. Then came the Prince of Spain. He looked at the silver casket for a long time. On it was written, “He who chooses me will get what he deserves.” The prince had a very high opinion of himself. He thought that he deserved the best. He therefore chose the silver casket and opened it. Inside the casket, he found the picture of a blinking tool. He was very disappointed and offended. He immediately rode away. Then it was Bassanio's turn. He looked at the caskets for a long time. He thought, "Appearances are often misleading. Bad men appear good and they hide their inner ugliness under fine clothes." So he chose the plain-looking lead casket. Upon opening the casket, he found the portrait of Portia inside. Bassanio and Portia got married. There was great joy at Belmont, and the newly married couple were spending their time happily. But soon their happiness turned into sorrow with a piece of news. A messenger came with a letter from Antonio. The letter said, "Dear friend Bassanio, all my ships have been lost at sea. I cannot pay the money I owe to Shylock. So I have to pay the penalty. Dear friend, come and see me if possible. I would like to see you once before I die." Bassanio quickly left for Venice. Questions : 1. Why did Portia's father make such a strange plan? 2.
