Deep meditation makes one forgetful of petty thing Sir Isaac Newton was often so absorbed in his studies that he would forget about the simple, everyday tasks of life. His mind was always busy solving complex problems, and sometimes, he would lose track of time and his surroundings. One morning, while he was deeply engaged in his work, the housekeeper sent a maid servant to prepare his breakfast, which included boiling an egg. The maid servant, following the usual routine, went to boil the egg for him. However, Sir Isaac Newton was so focused on his studies that he didn't notice her presence in the room. Not wanting to disturb him, the maid servant left the egg on the table next to his wristwatch and went away. The egg was meant to be boiled for exactly three minutes. However, in his absent-mindedness, Sir Isaac Newton did not place the egg in the saucepan. Instead, he mistakenly picked up his wristwatch and placed it in the boiling water, completely unaware of his mistake. When the maid servant returned, she was astonished to find the wristwatch boiling in the saucepan instead of the egg. This incident clearly shows how deep meditation and intense focus on intellectual tasks can sometimes make one forget about even the simplest and most important aspects of daily life. Sir Isaac Newton, in his pursuit of knowledge, had become so absorbed that he had momentarily lost touch with the most basic needs around him. The Mother Arises in a Real Mother Once upon a time, in a small village, two families lived side by side. The women of these families did not get along well because of various issues. By chance, both women became pregnant at the same time and were due to give birth. As the time of delivery arrived, they both ended up being taken to the same house. A nurse was assigned to take care of them during childbirth. When the time came, the nurse made sure that no one was allowed in the house. She found that one woman gave birth to a healthy baby boy, but she fainted right after the birth. The other woman gave birth to a stillborn baby. She was filled with grief over the loss of her child and soon came up with a plan. She secretly swapped her dead child with the living baby, replacing the healthy boy with the lifeless one. After a few minutes, when the first woman regained her senses, she was horrified to see the dead baby lying next to her. She couldn’t believe that her child was dead. Distraught, she went to the nurse, but the nurse lied and said the baby was hers. Unable to resolve the situation, the woman sought justice from the local judge, the Quazi. The Quazi listened to both women’s pleas and called them to appear before him. Each woman claimed that the living baby was hers. After considering both sides, the Quazi devised a plan to uncover the truth. He told them that he would cut the baby into two equal parts and give one half to each of them. At this, the real mother of the baby broke down in tears and begged the Quazi not to harm her child. She pleaded, "Please, let my child live. Give him to the other woman, I just want him to be alive." The false mother, however, stayed silent and made no objection. The Quazi immediately knew who the real mother was. He ordered that the baby be handed over to the woman who had shown such deep love and concern. The false mother was punished for her deceit. In this way, the true mother’s love for her child was revealed, and justice was served..

Ad একটি ধূর্ত বানর এবং একটি হাতি একদিন, একটি দুষ্টু বানর নদীর ধারে খেলা করছিল, সে দেখতে পেল একটি বড় হাতি তার দিকে আসছে। বানরের মাথায় একটা বুদ্ধি এলো। সে একটি পাথর তুলে একটি গাছের আড়ালে লুকিয়ে পড়ল। হাতিটি কাছে আসতেই বানরটি হাতির পিঠে পাথর ছুঁড়ে মারল। পাথরটি তাকে আঘাত করল এবং বানরটি দ্রুত আবার গাছের আড়ালে লুকিয়ে পড়ল। হাতিটি রেগে ঘুরে দাঁড়াল কিন্তু আশেপাশে কাউকে দেখতে পেল না। বিভ্রান্ত হয়ে সে তার বড় মাথা নাড়ল এবং হাঁটতে থাকল। বানরটি হাতির প্রতিক্রিয়া দেখে মনে মনে হাসল এবং তার পরবর্তী কৌতুকের জন্য প্রস্তুত হল। সে আরেকটি পাথর তুলে আবার হাতির দিকে ছুঁড়ে মারল। এবার, পাথরটি হাতির মাথায় আঘাত করল। হাতিটি দ্রুত ঘুরে দাঁড়াল, এবং এবার, সে দেখতে পেল যে বানরটি গাছের আড়ালে লুকিয়ে আছে। এবার, হাতি বুঝতে পারল কে তাকে পাথর ছুঁড়ে মারছে। রাগের বশে, হাতিটি কাছের নদীর কাছে হেঁটে গেল এবং তার শুঁড়ে জল ভরে দিল। বানরটি হাতিটিকে তার দিকে আসতে দেখে গাছে উঠে হাতির দিকে হেসে উঠল। কিন্তু হাতিটি মজা পেল না। সে তার শুঁড় তুলে বানরের উপর পূর্ণ শক্তি দিয়ে জল ছিটিয়ে দিল। বানরটি মাথা থেকে পা পর্যন্ত ভিজে গেল। মুখে জলের ছিটা পড়ার কারণে সে চোখ খুলতেও পারছিল না। বানরটি যন্ত্রণায় চিৎকার করে উঠল এবং গাছ থেকে পড়ে গেল, ভিজে ভিজে। হাতিটি বানরের বোকামি দেখে হেসে উঠল। দুর্ভাগ্যবশত, বানরটি মাটিতে পড়ে গেল এবং শেষ পর্যন্ত সে মারা গেল। এই গল্পটি আমাদের শিক্ষা দেয় যে আমাদের অন্যদের সাথে মজা করা উচিত নয়, কারণ এটি ক্ষতির কারণ হতে পারে।

The Girl and Her Daydream Once upon a time, there was a young village girl who helped her poor parents by selling eggs in the market. One morning, she placed a basket full of eggs on her head and started walking towards the market. The road was long, and to pass the time, she began to dream about her future. "Today, I will sell all these eggs and earn good money. With that money, I will buy more hens. These hens will lay many eggs, and I will sell them for a higher price. Soon, I will have so many hens that my small business will grow." She smiled to herself and continued dreaming, "After selling even more eggs, I will buy a cow. The cow will give fresh milk every day, and I will sell the milk in the market. With that money, I will buy another cow. Then another. Soon, I will have many cows, and I will start a dairy farm." Excited by her thoughts, she imagined her success, "With all the money I earn from my farm, I will buy land. I will grow crops and expand my business. My farm will become the biggest in the village, and everyone will respect me. I will be the richest person in the area!" She felt so happy in her dream that she continued, "I will build a big house with beautiful furniture. I will wear the finest clothes, and people will admire me. One day, a prince will hear about my wealth and come to marry me. I will live in a grand palace like a queen." As she thought about her new life, she imagined herself in her palace. "My maid will bring food and say, ‘Madam, please eat.’ But I will act proud and refuse. I will shake my head and say, ‘No, I will not eat now!’" At that moment, she actually shook her head in excitement. The basket on her head lost balance, and before she could catch it, all the eggs fell to the ground. Crack! The eggs broke into pieces, and her beautiful dream disappeared in an instant. She stood in shock, looking at the broken eggs. "Oh no! My dream is gone!" she whispered. Tears filled her eyes as she realized her mistake. She had been so lost in her dream that she forgot to be careful. Slowly, she picked up the broken eggs and walked back home, learning an important lesson—dreaming big is good, but without focus and effort, dreams will never come true. মেয়েটি এবং তার দিবাস্বপ্ন একসময়, গ্রামের এক তরুণী ছিল যে বাজারে ডিম বিক্রি করে তার দরিদ্র বাবা-মাকে সাহায্য করত। একদিন সকালে সে তার মাথায় ডিম ভর্তি ঝুড়ি রেখে বাজারের দিকে হাঁটতে শুরু করে। রাস্তাটি দীর্ঘ ছিল, এবং সময় কাটানোর জন্য, সে তার ভবিষ্যতের স্বপ্ন দেখতে শুরু করে। "আজ, আমি এই সমস্ত ডিম বিক্রি করব এবং ভাল অর্থ উপার্জন করব। সেই অর্থ দিয়ে, আমি আরও মুরগি কিনব। এই মুরগিগুলি অনেক ডিম দেবে, এবং আমি সেগুলি আরও বেশি দামে বিক্রি করব। শীঘ্রই, আমার এত মুরগি হবে যে আমার ছোট ব্যবসা বৃদ্ধি পাবে।" সে মনে মনে হাসল এবং স্বপ্ন দেখতে থাকল, "আরও বেশি ডিম বিক্রি করার পরে, আমি একটি গরু কিনব। গরুটি প্রতিদিন তাজা দুধ দেবে, এবং আমি বাজারে দুধ বিক্রি করব। সেই অর্থ দিয়ে, আমি আরেকটি গরু কিনব। তারপর আরেকটি। শীঘ্রই, আমার অনেক গরু হবে, এবং আমি একটি দুগ্ধ খামার শুরু করব।" তার চিন্তায় উত্তেজিত হয়ে সে তার সাফল্য কল্পনা করে, "আমার খামার থেকে যে টাকা আয় হবে তা দিয়ে আমি জমি কিনব। আমি ফসল ফলাব এবং আমার ব্যবসা সম্প্রসারণ করব। আমার খামার গ্রামের সবচেয়ে বড় হবে, এবং সবাই আমাকে সম্মান করবে। আমি এলাকার সবচেয়ে ধনী ব্যক্তি হব!" সে তার স্বপ্নে এত খুশি হয়েছিল যে সে বলেছিল, "আমি সুন্দর আসবাবপত্র দিয়ে একটি বড় ঘর বানাবো। আমি সেরা পোশাক পরবো, এবং লোকেরা আমার প্রশংসা করবে। একদিন, একজন রাজপুত্র আমার সম্পদের কথা শুনে আমাকে বিয়ে করতে আসবে। আমি রাণীর মতো একটি বিশাল প্রাসাদে বাস করব।" সে যখন তার নতুন জীবনের কথা ভাবছিল, তখন সে নিজেকে তার প্রাসাদে কল্পনা করেছিল। "আমার দাসী খাবার এনে বলবে, 'ম্যাডাম, দয়া করে খাও।' কিন্তু আমি গর্বের সাথে খাব এবং প্রত্যাখ্যান করব। আমি মাথা নাড়ে বলবো, 'না, আমি এখন খাবো না!'" সেই মুহূর্তে, সে উত্তেজনায় মাথা নাড়ল। তার মাথার উপর থাকা ঝুড়িটি ভারসাম্য হারিয়ে ফেলল, এবং সে তা ধরার আগেই, সমস্ত ডিম মাটিতে পড়ে গেল। ফাটল! ডিমগুলো ভেঙে টুকরো টুকরো হয়ে গেল, আর তার সুন্দর স্বপ্ন মুহূর্তের মধ্যেই উধাও হয়ে গেল। সে হতবাক হয়ে দাঁড়িয়ে রইল ভাঙা ডিমগুলোর দিকে তাকিয়ে। "ওহ না! আমার স্বপ্ন তো শেষ!" ফিসফিসিয়ে বলল সে। তার ভুল বুঝতে পেরে তার চোখ জলে ভরে গেল। সে তার স্বপ্নে এতটাই ডুবে গিয়েছিল যে সে সাবধান হতে ভুলে গিয়েছিল। ধীরে ধীরে, সে ভাঙা ডিমগুলো তুলে নিয়ে বাড়ি ফিরে গেল, একটি গুরুত্বপূর্ণ শিক্ষা পেল - বড় স্বপ্ন দেখা ভালো, কিন্তু মনোযোগ এবং প্রচেষ্টা ছাড়া স্বপ্ন কখনোই সত্যি হবে না। Ad Don't Count your Chickens before they are Hatched Along a country lane stepped a bright young milkmaid, balancing a jug of fine fresh milk on her head. With a fair way still to go to reach the market she started thinking about her future prospects. "If I sell this milk for a tidy price I can increase my stock of eggs to three hundred. Then, even allowing for those that spoil and that are stolen by thieves, they should produce at least two hundred and fifty chickens. They again, just when the price is highest, I will take the birds to market and sell them: I cannot fail to make enough money to buy more eggs. When I will be able to buy more eggs, the more poultry I will produce. When I will produce more poultry, the more money I will make. If I will have more and more, our life would be more comfortable and hardship will not persist in our family life any longer. The sorrow and suffering of our family will be removed. I will see the face of happiness of my parents who seem to be born to suffer. They will not have to work any more. My prosperity will help them to lead a luxurious life. My fame as a rich girl will spread all over the world. So, many princes will propose to marry me. I will choose the best from one of them. In the bridal party girls and women will dance. I will also dance with them. Saying this the young milkmaid started dancing. No sooner had she started dancing than the jug of milk fell from the head. The young milkmaid lost everything and began to cry. She lost herself in so deep a thought that she felt like living in prosperity. She completely forgot the fact that she was balancing a jug of milk on her head. She was in day dream. She built her castle in the air. However she returned home with a melancholy mood. Ad বাচ্চা ফোটার আগে মুরগি গুনবেন না। গ্রামের এক রাস্তা ধরে এক উজ্জ্বল তরুণী দুধওয়ালা হেঁটে গেল, মাথায় এক জগ মিহি তাজা দুধ রেখে। বাজারে পৌঁছাতে এখনও অনেক পথ বাকি থাকায় সে তার ভবিষ্যতের সম্ভাবনা নিয়ে ভাবতে শুরু করল। "এই দুধ যদি আমি ভালো দামে বিক্রি করি, তাহলে আমার ডিমের মজুদ তিনশোতে উন্নীত করতে পারব। তারপর, চোরদের দ্বারা চুরি হয়ে যাওয়া এবং নষ্ট হয়ে যাওয়া মুরগিগুলিকেও ছাড় দিলেও, তাদের কমপক্ষে আড়াইশো মুরগি উৎপাদন করা উচিত। আবার, যখন দাম সবচেয়ে বেশি হবে, তখন আমি পাখিগুলিকে বাজারে নিয়ে যাব এবং বিক্রি করব: আমি আরও ডিম কিনতে যথেষ্ট অর্থ উপার্জন করতে ব্যর্থ হতে পারি না। যখন আমি আরও ডিম কিনতে সক্ষম হব, তখন আমি তত বেশি মুরগি উৎপাদন করব। যখন আমি আরও বেশি মুরগি উৎপাদন করব, তখন আমি তত বেশি অর্থ উপার্জন করব। যদি আমার আরও বেশি থাকে, তাহলে আমাদের জীবন আরও আরামদায়ক হবে এবং আমাদের পারিবারিক জীবনে কষ্ট আর থাকবে না। আমাদের পরিবারের দুঃখ ও কষ্ট দূর হবে। আমি আমার বাবা-মায়ের সুখের মুখ দেখতে পাব, যারা মনে হয় কষ্টের জন্য জন্মগ্রহণ করেছেন। তাদের আর কাজ করতে হবে না। আমার সমৃদ্ধি তাদের বিলাসবহুল জীবনযাপন করতে সাহায্য করবে। ধনী মেয়ে হিসেবে আমার খ্যাতি সারা বিশ্বে ছড়িয়ে পড়বে। তাই, অনেক রাজপুত্র আমাকে বিয়ে করার প্রস্তাব দেবেন। আমি তাদের মধ্যে থেকে সেরাটি বেছে নেব। বিবাহের অনুষ্ঠানে মেয়েরা এবং মহিলারা নাচবে। আমিও তাদের সাথে নাচব। এই কথা বলে তরুণী দুধওয়ালা নাচতে শুরু করল। নাচতে শুরু করার সাথে সাথেই দুধের পাত্রটি মাথা থেকে পড়ে গেল। তরুণী দুধওয়ালা সবকিছু হারিয়ে কাঁদতে শুরু করল। সে নিজেকে এত গভীর চিন্তায় ডুবিয়ে দিল যে তার মনে হচ্ছিল সে সমৃদ্ধিতে বাস করছে। সে সম্পূর্ণরূপে ভুলে গেল যে সে তার মাথায় দুধের পাত্রটি ভারসাম্য বজায় রাখছে। সে দিবাস্বপ্নে ছিল। সে বাতাসে তার দুর্গ তৈরি করেছিল। তবে সে বিষণ্ণ মেজাজ নিয়ে বাড়ি ফিরে গেল।

The Merchant of Venice   Once upon a time, in the picturesque city of Venice, there lived a prosperous merchant named Antonio, known for his philanthropic demeanor and generosity. He had a close friend, Bassanio, who approached him for monetary assistance, but unfortunately, Antonio was experiencing a liquidity crunch at that moment. Nevertheless, with a sense of unwavering loyalty towards his friend, he borrowed a large sum of money from a shrewd and notorious lender named Shylock, at an exorbitant rate of interest, and duly passed it on to Bassanio.   Bassanio, being grateful to his friend for his unyielding support, embarked upon a journey to win the heart of the beautiful and virtuous Portia. At her residence, he was informed that he needed to select one of the three caskets, made of gold, silver, and lead, to win Portia's hand in marriage. Bassanio cunningly chose the third casket, which contained a portrait of Portia and thereby won her affection.   As fate would have it, all of Antonio's ships had sunk in the sea, leaving him unable to repay his debt to Shylock. The usurer, taking advantage of the situation, demanded that Antonio honor their agreement, which stated that in case of a default in payment, Antonio would have to sacrifice a pound of flesh. Despite this dire predicament, Antonio did not hold Bassanio responsible for his current misfortune.   The situation seemed hopeless, but with the help of a brilliant lawyer named Portia disguised as a man, who outwitted the cunning Shylock, Antonio was saved from certain death. Through her astute reasoning and persuasive arguments, Portia proved that the bond did not permit Shylock to shed even a drop of Antonio's blood. Eventually, justice prevailed, and Antonio was saved from the clutches of the vindictive Shylock, while Bassanio and Portia lived happily ever after in a world of love and prosperity.       Moral : Antonio and Shylock In the bustling city of Venice, there lived a wealthy merchant named Antonio. He was well-loved by his friends, but his heart was heavy because his ships were delayed, and his wealth was tied up in trade. Antonio had a good friend named Bassanio, who was noble and kind but poor. Bassanio wished to marry the beautiful heiress, Portia, but needed money to travel to Belmont and win her heart. Antonio, eager to help his friend, agreed to lend Bassanio the money. But since his own funds were tied up in his ships, Antonio had no money to offer. He decided to borrow the sum of 3,000 ducats from Shylock, a Jewish moneylender who had long held a grudge against Antonio for insulting him and his people. Shylock, seeing an opportunity to get back at Antonio, agreed to lend him the money, but with a dangerous condition: if Antonio did not repay the loan on time, Shylock would be entitled to take a pound of Antonio's flesh. Despite the harsh terms, Antonio agreed to the bond, confident that his ships would return before the deadline. Bassanio traveled to Belmont, where he successfully won Portia’s heart after choosing the correct casket from her father’s test. Meanwhile, Antonio’s ships were still lost at sea, and he could not repay the loan on time. When the due date arrived, Shylock demanded his pound of flesh in the court of Venice. He refused to show mercy, and the case seemed doomed for Antonio. But Portia, disguised as a lawyer, arrived to defend Antonio. She cleverly pointed out that the contract only allowed Shylock to take flesh, not blood. Since it would be impossible to remove a pound of flesh without shedding blood, Shylock’s claim was invalid. In the end, Shylock was defeated. His wealth was confiscated, and he was forced to convert to Christianity. Antonio was saved, and Bassanio and Portia celebrated their marriage. The story ended with the message that true justice must be tempered with mercy, and that love and friendship are more valuable than money or revenge. The tale of Antonio and Shylock teaches us about the dangers of hatred and the importance of mercy and compassion in the face of conflict. The Merchant of Venice Once upon a time in the city of Venice, there was a kind and wealthy merchant named Antonio. Antonio had many friends, but he was especially close to a young man named Bassanio. Bassanio wanted to marry the beautiful and wealthy Portia, but he was poor. He needed money to court her, and so he went to Antonio for help. Antonio had no money at that moment, as all his ships were out at sea, but he agreed to borrow 3,000 ducats from a moneylender named Shylock. Shylock, a Jewish man who didn’t like Antonio because he had insulted him before, agreed to lend the money, but with a dangerous condition. If Antonio couldn’t repay the loan on time, Shylock would take a pound of Antonio’s flesh. Antonio, trusting his ships would return in time, agreed to the terms. Bassanio used the money to travel to Portia’s home, where he had to choose from three caskets – one gold, one silver, and one lead. The one who chose the right casket would win Portia’s hand in marriage. After careful thought, Bassanio chose the lead casket, which contained a portrait of Portia, and he won her heart. However, things did not go as planned for Antonio. His ships were delayed, and he couldn’t repay the loan. Shylock demanded his pound of flesh, and the case went to court. Portia, disguised as a lawyer, entered the courtroom to save Antonio. She cleverly pointed out that Shylock was entitled to a pound of flesh, but the contract did not allow him to take any blood. This meant that Shylock couldn’t take the flesh without breaking the agreement. Shylock’s plan was ruined, and he lost everything. He was forced to give up his wealth and convert to Christianity. Antonio’s ships finally arrived, and he was saved. Bassanio and Portia celebrated their marriage, and Antonio was happy to see his friend’s happiness. The Merchant of Venice Once upon a time in Venice, there was a merchant named Antonio, who was deeply troubled. His ships, carrying goods to distant lands, had not yet returned, leaving him with no money to pay his debts. His friend, Bassanio, who was a noble young man, needed money to travel to Belmont and win the heart of the beautiful heiress, Portia. Antonio, unable to lend Bassanio the money himself, decided to borrow from Shylock, a Jewish moneylender. Shylock was an old enemy of Antonio, who had insulted him in the past. Nevertheless, Shylock agreed to lend Antonio 3,000 ducats, but with a terrible condition: if Antonio failed to repay the loan by a set date, Shylock would be entitled to a pound of Antonio’s flesh. Antonio, confident that his ships would return in time, agreed to the terms. Bassanio traveled to Belmont and, with Portia's father's casket test, managed to choose the right casket—lead, which contained her portrait. He won her hand in marriage. Meanwhile, in Venice, Antonio’s ships were still lost, and he was unable to repay Shylock. When the due date arrived, Shylock demanded his pound of flesh, and a court case was set. Portia, disguised as a lawyer, and her maid Nerissa, disguised as a clerk, traveled to Venice to help Antonio. In court, Shylock demanded that the bond be honored. However, Portia cleverly pointed out that the contract only allowed Shylock to take the flesh, not a drop of blood. Since Shylock could not take flesh without spilling blood, the bond was void. In the end, Shylock lost everything. His wealth was confiscated, and he was forced to convert to Christianity. Antonio was saved, and Bassanio and Portia celebrated their marriage. The play ended with a message about mercy, justice, and the consequences of hatred. And so, the people of Venice learned that true justice comes with mercy, and that love and friendship are worth more than any contract or gold. ভেনিসের বণিক একসময়, মনোরম ভেনিসে, আন্তোনিও নামে এক ধনী বণিক বাস করতেন, যিনি তার জনহিতকর আচরণ এবং উদারতার জন্য পরিচিত ছিলেন। তার এক ঘনিষ্ঠ বন্ধু, বাসানিও, তার কাছে আর্থিক সাহায্যের জন্য এসেছিলেন, কিন্তু দুর্ভাগ্যবশত, সেই মুহূর্তে আন্তোনিও তার নগদ অর্থের সংকটে ভুগছিলেন। তবুও, তার বন্ধুর প্রতি অটল আনুগত্যের অনুভূতি নিয়ে, তিনি শাইলক নামে এক চতুর এবং কুখ্যাত ঋণদাতার কাছ থেকে অত্যধিক সুদের হারে মোটা অঙ্কের টাকা ধার করেছিলেন এবং যথাযথভাবে তা বাসানিওর কাছে হস্তান্তর করেছিলেন। বাসানিও, তার বন্ধুর অদম্য সহায়তার জন্য কৃতজ্ঞ হয়ে, সুন্দরী এবং গুণী পোর্টিয়ার হৃদয় জয় করার জন্য যাত্রা শুরু করেছিলেন। তার বাসভবনে, তাকে জানানো হয়েছিল যে তাকে বিবাহের জন্য পোর্টিয়ার হাত পেতে সোনা, রূপা এবং সীসা দিয়ে তৈরি তিনটি কসকেটের মধ্যে একটি বেছে নিতে হবে। বাসানিও চালাকি করে তৃতীয় কসকেটটি বেছে নিয়েছিলেন, যার মধ্যে পোর্টিয়ার একটি প্রতিকৃতি ছিল এবং এর মাধ্যমে তার স্নেহ জয় করেছিলেন। ভাগ্যের ইচ্ছা অনুযায়ী, আন্তোনিওর সমস্ত জাহাজ সমুদ্রে ডুবে যায়, যার ফলে শাইলকের কাছে ঋণ পরিশোধ করা তার পক্ষে সম্ভব হয়নি। পরিস্থিতির সুযোগ নিয়ে সুদখোর ব্যক্তি আন্তোনিওর কাছে দাবি করেন যে, তাদের চুক্তি মেনে চলুন, যেখানে বলা হয়েছিল যে, ঋণ পরিশোধে ব্যর্থ হলে আন্তোনিওকে এক পাউন্ড মাংস উৎসর্গ করতে হবে। এই ভয়াবহ পরিস্থিতি সত্ত্বেও, আন্তোনিও তার বর্তমান দুর্ভাগ্যের জন্য বাসানিওকে দায়ী করেননি। পরিস্থিতি আশাহীন বলে মনে হচ্ছিল, কিন্তু পোর্টিয়া নামে একজন মেধাবী আইনজীবীর সাহায্যে, যিনি ধূর্ত শাইলককে ঠকিয়েছিলেন, আন্তোনিও নিশ্চিত মৃত্যুর হাত থেকে রক্ষা পান। তার বিচক্ষণ যুক্তি এবং প্ররোচনামূলক যুক্তির মাধ্যমে, পোর্টিয়া প্রমাণ করেন যে এই বন্ধন শাইলককে আন্তোনিওর এক ফোঁটাও রক্তপাত করতে দেয়নি। অবশেষে, ন্যায়বিচার জয়লাভ করে, এবং আন্তোনিও প্রতিশোধপরায়ণ শাইলকের কবল থেকে রক্ষা পান, অন্যদিকে বাসানিও এবং পোর্টিয়া ভালোবাসা এবং সমৃদ্ধির জগতে সুখে বসবাস করেন।

The Lion and the Mouse   Once there was a lion in a forest. He was very tired and hence he was sleeping in a den. At that time a mouse was playing nearby. It was running to and fro without any anxiety. Soon another mouse came there. The first mouse said, “Look at me! I’m not afraid of this big lion!” It climbed on the lion’s body and  came to the loin’s mouth and sat on the nose. The lion woke up. It saw the mouse. It was very angry. The mouse became very afraid. It could not move. The lion caught it in his paw and was about to kill it.  . The other mouse ran away.   The lion said, “You bad little mouse! Why have you disturbed my sleep? I’ll eat you now.” The mouse begged for its life. It said, “Forgive me, sir. I’m very small. Don’t eat me. Please let me go. I’ll be your friend. What will you gain by killing me? Please pardon me and let me go. One day I may come to your use.” The lion laughed at the mouse. He said, “How can you help me? Look! How big and strong I am! I don’t need small friends like you!” The mouse cried, “ Please don’t kill me.”  The lion out of pity became quite. He had no more anger in his heart.  So he let the mouse go.   After some days three men came to the forest. They had guns and a net. They came to catch wild animals. They stopped under a tree. They tied the net with two branches of the tree and laid a trap with it. Then they left the place. The next day the lion was walking in the forest. He came under the tree. He stepped on the net. The net went up. The lion was inside the net. He could not get out .he became very angry. He roared and roared. He was helpless. The mouse heard the roar of the lion. It ran to the lion. The lion was in side the net. The mouse said, “Alas, my friend! You’re in danger! But I’ll get you out.” At first the mouse cut a very small part of the net with its sharp teeth. Then it cut more and more. The hole in the net became bigger. The lion jumped out of the net. He ran away with the mouse on his back. The lion stopped after sometime. He said, “Thank you, my little friend. Forgive me. I was wrong. I was proud. You’re my best friend.”       A Lion and a Mouse Once a little mouse, while playing, ran across a sleeping lion's face. The lion awake in anger, caught the mouse and was about to kill it. The mouse begged for pardon. It said to the lion, "I am very sorry sir. I got a little off balance and ran across your face just by accident. Please spare my life. One day, perhaps I may be of use to you." The lion laughed and said, "Well, I feel like believing you, I don't know why. But I know one thing, when anyone is in danger he or she make false promises to get rid of the danger." The mouse became sad at heart and said, "No sir, I am not of that type. I know how to be grateful and how to repay debts. If I do not get any chance to be useful to you, I shall at least remain grateful to you for your kindness." The mighty beast seemed convinced. He pardoned the mouse and allowed it go. The mouse thanked the lion and ran away in joy. One day after this the lion was strolling around as usual. Suddenly he was caught in a net set by some hunters. He roared loudly in rage, tried his best to get free but all his efforts ended in vain. No doubt the lion was very strong but he could not break the net. He went on roaring in rage. The mouse playing nearby heard the roar of the lion. It got frightened and got ready to run away at a safe distance. Suddenly one thing flashed into it$ mind. It remembered the promise it made to the lion. So the mouse instead of running away in fear went to the spot from where the roaring sound was coming. Seeing the mouse coming the lion said, "My dear little friend, see my condition. I am in a real trouble. Will you keep your promise and help me get rid of this trouble." "Of course! That's why I am here. Don't worry. Let me have a try at the net." So saying the mouse first cut one rope of the net with its sharp teeth and then another and then another and finally succeeded in setting the lion free. The lion now free from danger became so happy and pleased with the mouse that he had the mouse on his back and left the place singing. Since then the mouse and the lion became the best friends and their friendship based on mutual trust and confidence lasted till time unknown.       A Lion and a Mouse Once a little mouse, while playing, ran across a sleeping lion's face.

The mouse became sad at heart and said, "No sir, I am not of that type. I know how to be grateful and how to repay debts. If I do not get any chance to be useful to you, I shall at least remain grateful to you for your kindness." The mighty beast seemed convinced. He pardoned the mouse and allowed it go. The mouse thanked the lion and ran away in joy. One day after this the lion was strolling around as usual. Suddenly he was caught in a net set by some hunters. He roared loudly in rage, tried his best to get free but all his efforts ended in vain. No doubt the lion was very strong but he could not break the net. He went on roaring in rage. The mouse playing nearby heard the roar of the lion. It got frightened and got ready to run away at a safe distance. Suddenly one thing flashed into it$ mind. It remembered the promise it made to the lion. So the mouse instead of running away in fear went to the spot from where the roaring sound was coming. Seeing the mouse coming the lion said, "My dear little friend, see my condition. I am in a real trouble. Will you keep your promise and help me get rid of this trouble." "Of course! That's why I am here. Don't worry. Let me have a try at the net." So saying the mouse first cut one rope of the net with its sharp teeth and then another and then another and finally succeeded in setting the lion free. The lion now free from danger became so happy and pleased with the mouse that he had the mouse on his back and left the place singing. Since then the mouse and the lion became the best friends and their friendship based on mutual trust and confidence lasted till time unknown.       The Lion and the Mouse Completing Story Once upon a time, in a big forest, there lived a strong lion. He was the king of the jungle, and all the animal love and respected him. One sunny day, after eating a big meal, the lion lay down to take a nap in his cozy cave. Nearby, a tiny mouse was playing and having fun. While running around, the little mouse accidentally ran across the lion’s nose, waking him up. The lion was very angry and caught the mouse in his big paw. The lion was furious and could not believe that the little mouse had disturbed his sleep. The scared mouse begged for its life, saying that it was just a small creature, but it might help him one day. The lion laughed, thinking about how a tiny mouse could ever help a big lion like him. But the lion was in a good mood, so he decided to let the mouse go. A few days later, the lion got into trouble. Some hunters had set a trap, and he found himself stuck in strong ropes. The lion roared for help, and his loud voice echoed through the forest. The little mouse heard the lion’s roar and ran to find him. The mouse quickly got to work, chewing through the ropes with its sharp teeth. Soon, the ropes broke, and the lion was free. The lion looked at the mouse and felt grateful. He realized that he was wrong to think the mouse could not help him. Even the smallest animal can make a major difference. The lion and the mouse became close friends after that day. They learned that it doesn’t matter how big or small you are; everyone can help each other. And so, they lived happily in the forest, always ready to lend a hand to one another.        The Lion and the Mouse     Once there was a lion in a forest. He was very tired and hence he was sleeping in a den. At that time a mouse was playing nearby. It was running to and fro without any anxiety. Soon another mouse came there. The first mouse said, “Look at me! I’m not afraid of this big lion!” It climbed on the lion’s body and  came to the loin’s mouth and sat on the nose. The lion woke up. It saw the mouse. It was very angry. The mouse became very afraid. It could not move. The lion caught it in his paw and was about to kill it.  . The other mouse ran away.   The lion said, “You bad little mouse! Why have you disturbed my sleep? I’ll eat you now.” The mouse begged for its life. It said, “Forgive me, sir. I’m very small. Don’t eat me. Please let me go. I’ll be your friend. What will you gain by killing me? Please pardon me and let me go. One day I may come to your use.” The lion laughed at the mouse. He said, “How can you help me? Look! How big and strong I am! I don’t need small friends like you!” The mouse cried, “ Please don’t kill me.”  The lion out of pity became quite. He had no more anger in his heart.  So he let the mouse go.   After some days three men came to the forest. They had guns and a net. They came to catch wild animals. They stopped under a tree. They tied the net with two branches of the tree and laid a trap with it. Then they left the place. The next day the lion was walking in the forest. He came under the tree. He stepped on the net. The net went up. The lion was inside the net. He could not get out .he became very angry. He roared and roared. He was helpless. The mouse heard the roar of the lion. It ran to the lion. The lion was in side the net. The mouse said, “Alas, my friend! You’re in danger! But I’ll get you out.” At first the mouse cut a very small part of the net with its sharp teeth. Then it cut more and more. The hole in the net became bigger. The lion jumped out of the net. He ran away with the mouse on his back. The lion stopped after sometime. He said, “Thank you, my little friend. Forgive me. I was wrong. I was proud. You’re my best friend.”   A Kind Lion and a Grateful Mouse: Once the lion was sleeping in a    Once upon a time, in a vast jungle, there lived a mighty lion who was feared by all.

With a terrible roar he caught the mouse and said, “you tiny creature, how dare you tease me? I will kill you. “The mouse began to tremble in fear and begged for its life. It also said. “Your majesty, I am a little creature but I can help others. Please let me go, sooner or later, I may help you. Besides, if you kill me, it will bring no fame to you.” Hearing this. The lion burst into laughter and said, “o you! Are you suitable to help me?” However, he set the mouse free and told me to do its own job. After sometime, the lion fell into a hunter’s trap. The lion tried his best to be free from the net but could not. He began to roar and said, “Save me please, save me please. “ Listening this, the mouse came swiftly and found the lion in a trap. The mouse said, “your Majesty, please don’t worry and keep quiet. I well-cut cut the net into pieces and thereby you will be able to come out. The mouse cut the net into pieces and the lion became free. Being free, the lion said, “You are small in size but worthy. You have saved my life and many thanks to you.” In fact, the strong or mighty someone is also dependent on the weak one. From then, the lion was kind hearted to the tiny creatures.

Ans.     An Old Lion and the Cunning Fox An old, old lion realized one day that, due to the weakness of age, he was too tired to hunt for his prey any more. Sadly, he went home to his den knowing that soon he would die. But before he lay down he stopped at the entrance; breathing with great difficulty and speaking in a slow, low voice he told the world of this sad condition. The news of the lion's illness soon spread throughout the forest and caused much concern among the other beasts. One by one, animals came to visit the old lion to pay their respects. However, the lion's age had also made him cunning. As each animal entered his den and came within reach, they became easy prey, and the lion soon grew fat. One day, early in the morning, an old and wise fox decided to pay a visit to the respectable lion. When he approached the den, he noticed that a fellow fox, who had come to visit half an hour earlier, had fallen prey to the lion. Realizing what had happened, the fox thought the lion needed to be taught a lesson. He returned to the woods and gathered all the animals, disclosing the lion's evil policy. The old fox then came up with a plan. The fox went back to the den and told the lion that he should stay inside because it was a safer and more comfortable place for him. The lion, trusting the fox, stayed inside the den. Once the fox managed to ensure the lion was inside, he came out and instructed all the animals to roll a huge stone to block the entrance of the cave. The animals worked together and closed the entrance, trapping the lion inside. Unable to come out, the lion soon began to starve. After a few days, the fox returned to the den and said to the lion, "Stay here for a few more days and enjoy the consequences of the shrewd policy you adopted." The lion, having been outwitted, was left to suffer the results of his own cunning. The other animals were safe from his treachery, and the wise fox had taught the lion a lesson he would never forget. The Lion and a Clever Fox   Long ago, there lived a lion in a dense forest. One morning his wife told him that his breath was bad and unpleasant. The lion became embarrassed and angry upon hearing it. He wanted to check this fact with others. So he called three others outside his cave. First came the sheep. The Lion opening his mouth wide said, “Sheep, tell me if my mouth smells bad?” The sheep thought that the lion wanted an honest answer, so the sheep said, “Yes, Friend. There seems to be something wrong with your breath”. This plain speak did not go well with the lion. He pounced on the sheep, killing it. Then the lion called the wolf and said, “What do you think? Do I have a bad breath?” The wolf saw what happened to the sheep. He wanted to be very cautious in answering a question. So, the wolf said, “Who says that Your breath is unpleasant. It’s as sweet as the smell of roses”. When the lion heard the reply, he roared in an anger and immediately attacked the wolf and killed it. “The flatterer!” growled the lion. Finally, came the turn of the fox. The lion asked him the same question. The fox was well aware of the fate of the sheep and the wolf. So he coughed and cleared his throat again and again and then said, “Oh Dear Friend, for the last few days, I have been having a very bad cold. Due to this, I can’t smell anything, pleasant or unpleasant”. The lion spared the fox’s life. Moral:  Do not involve yourself in a bad company or a bad situation else you may end up getting punished for no fault of yours.  Sometimes, It’s wise to stay away from certain situations.     Old Lion and the Fox An old, old lion realized one day that, thanks to the, weakness of age, he was too tired to hunt for his prey any more.

One day, early in the morning, the fox who was very clever came to pay a charity visit to the old respectable lion. When he approached the den, he saw that a deer had fallen a prey to the lion. The deer had come to visit the old lion an hour earlier than the fox. The cunning fox could realised everything. He thought himself, "The lion should be given a punishment for his evil policy." The fox went back and discussed the evil policy of lion to the beasts. The beasts agree with the thought of clever fox. They also wanted to punish the lion.              The fox went to the den according to the plan. He said to the lion," You should stay in the den because it is a safer and comfortable place for you." The fox managed the lion to stay in the den. Then he came out of the den. The fox told all the beasts to throw a huge stone into the den immediately. All the beast together threw a huge stone and made the entrance of the den closed. The lion was trapped in the den. After a few days they saw the lion's dead body in the den. The lion died of hunger. Old lion suffered from the consequence  of his evil policy. He had to pay for the evil he did.  একটি বৃদ্ধ সিংহ এবং ধূর্ত শিয়াল একজন বৃদ্ধ, বৃদ্ধ সিংহ একদিন বুঝতে পারল যে, বয়সের দুর্বলতার কারণে সে আর শিকারের জন্য এত ক্লান্ত হয়ে পড়েছে যে সে আর শিকার করতে পারবে না। দুঃখের বিষয়, সে তার গুহায় ফিরে গেল, কারণ সে জানত যে শীঘ্রই সে মারা যাবে। কিন্তু শুয়ে পড়ার আগে সে প্রবেশপথে থেমে গেল; খুব কষ্ট করে শ্বাস নিতে লাগল এবং ধীর, নিচু স্বরে কথা বলতে বলতে সে পৃথিবীকে এই দুঃখজনক অবস্থার কথা জানাল। সিংহের অসুস্থতার খবর শীঘ্রই সারা বনে ছড়িয়ে পড়ে এবং অন্যান্য প্রাণীদের মধ্যে অনেক উদ্বেগের সৃষ্টি করে। একের পর এক প্রাণী বৃদ্ধ সিংহকে শ্রদ্ধা জানাতে দেখতে আসে। তবে, সিংহের বয়স তাকে ধূর্ত করে তুলেছিল। প্রতিটি প্রাণী তার গুহায় প্রবেশ করে এবং নাগালের মধ্যে আসার সাথে সাথে তারা সহজ শিকারে পরিণত হয় এবং সিংহটি শীঘ্রই মোটা হয়ে ওঠে। একদিন, ভোরে, একটি বৃদ্ধ এবং জ্ঞানী শিয়াল সম্মানিত সিংহের সাথে দেখা করার সিদ্ধান্ত নেয়। যখন সে গুহার কাছে পৌঁছায়, তখন সে লক্ষ্য করে যে, আধ ঘন্টা আগে দেখা করতে আসা একটি সহযোগী শিয়াল সিংহের শিকার হয়েছে। ঘটনাটি বুঝতে পেরে শিয়াল ভাবল সিংহকে একটা শিক্ষা দেওয়া দরকার। সে জঙ্গলে ফিরে এসে সমস্ত প্রাণীকে জড়ো করে সিংহের দুষ্ট নীতি প্রকাশ করে। এরপর বৃদ্ধ শিয়াল একটি পরিকল্পনা করে। শিয়াল আবার গুহায় ফিরে গেল এবং সিংহকে বলল যে তার ভেতরে থাকা উচিত কারণ এটি তার জন্য আরও নিরাপদ এবং আরামদায়ক জায়গা। শিয়ালকে বিশ্বাস করে সিংহ গুহার ভেতরেই থেকে গেল। শিয়াল সিংহকে ভেতরে রাখতে সক্ষম হওয়ার পর, সে বাইরে এসে সমস্ত প্রাণীকে গুহার প্রবেশপথ বন্ধ করার জন্য একটি বিশাল পাথর গড়িয়ে দিতে নির্দেশ দিল। প্রাণীরা একসাথে কাজ করে প্রবেশদ্বারটি বন্ধ করে দিল, সিংহকে ভেতরে আটকে ফেলল। বেরিয়ে আসতে না পেরে, সিংহ শীঘ্রই ক্ষুধার্ত হতে শুরু করল। কয়েক দিন পর, শিয়াল গুহায় ফিরে এসে সিংহকে বলল, "আরও কয়েকদিন এখানে থাকো এবং তুমি যে চালাকিপূর্ণ নীতি গ্রহণ করেছো তার পরিণতি ভোগ করো।" সিংহ বোকা হয়ে যাওয়ার পর, তার নিজের চালাকির ফল ভোগ করতে বাধ্য হয়েছিল। অন্যান্য প্রাণী তার বিশ্বাসঘাতকতা থেকে নিরাপদ ছিল, এবং জ্ঞানী শিয়াল সিংহকে এমন একটি শিক্ষা দিয়েছিল যা সে কখনও ভুলবে না।

Unity is Strength / Foolishness of A Lion : There lived many animals    In a certain forest, a multitude of animals resided, but they were bereft of unity among themselves. One day, a large and ruthless lion made an appearance in their midst, preying on one animal after another, every day for his sustenance, one for breakfast, and one for lunch. This caused great distress among the animals who felt a sense of helplessness at their inability to resist this predator's ferocity.   The animals subsequently convened a meeting to discuss their predicament and formulated a plan. They decided that one animal would be sent each day to the lion's cave, and thus in rotation, every animal would eventually become the victim of the lion's rapaciousness. On a fateful day, it was the turn of a rat to face the lion. The rat, however, did not proceed to the cave in fear, but rather, a well thought-out strategy was running through its mind.   Upon reaching the cave, the rat saw that the lion was angry and questioned its late arrival, demanding to know why he was famished. The rat promptly replied, "I encountered another lion en route to your den." The lion was incensed at this, claiming that it was impossible for another lion to exist in this forest. The clever rat then led the lion to a well and pointed to its depths, declaring that the lion was indeed inside. Upon peering into the well, the lion beheld his own reflection, which infuriated him, causing him to jump into the well, believing it to be his rival. The foolish lion, however, met his demise in the deep abyss.   As a result, all the animals in the forest were relieved from the terrorizing lion, who had been outwitted by the intelligence of a diminutive rat. This tale illustrates that while the lion may possess immense physical strength, it is no match for the cunning of a small creature. Ultimately, intelligence triumphs over brute force, and unity among individuals is essential in the face of adversity. The Lion and the Shadow / The Fall of the Proud Lion Long, long ago, there lived a mighty lion in a vast jungle. He was very proud of his strength and often boasted about it to all the other animals. The lion looked down on the other creatures, considering them weak and insignificant. Whenever he wished, he would torment them, showing no mercy or care for their feelings. He ruled the jungle with an iron paw, using his power to get whatever he wanted. The other animals grew tired of his cruelty, but they were too afraid to confront him directly. One day, a secret meeting was held by the animals of the jungle. At the meeting, a wise old fox took the lead, and they devised a plan to teach the lion a lesson. The plan was to be carried out by a clever rabbit, who was chosen for the task because of his wit and cunning nature. The very next day, the rabbit approached the lion with great respect. "Good day, my Lord!" he said, bowing deeply. "I have come to speak to you about something important." The lion, curious, asked the rabbit what he had to say. "We all admire your great strength, Lord Lion," the rabbit began. "We take immense pride in your rule and would do anything to ensure your happiness. Even when you are harsh and cruel with us, we continue to smile because of the respect we have for you. But, my Lord, there is one thing we cannot bear. There is an animal out there who dares to challenge your strength and authority. He believes that he is stronger than you and has invited you to a duel. He claims that he will defeat you and take over your kingdom. We cannot let this happen." The lion, who had always considered himself invincible, was enraged. "Where is this animal? Bring him to me at once!" he roared. "I will show him the power of my strength! I will tear him apart and hang his head at the gate as a sign of my victory!" The rabbit, pleased with the lion's anger, led him to a distant hill. From there, he pointed to a deep well in the ground. "He is down there, my Lord," the rabbit said, keeping a safe distance. "He is waiting for you in the well." The lion, full of rage, charged toward the well. He peered into the water, and to his surprise, saw his own reflection staring back at him. Furious, he let out a mighty roar, and to his astonishment, the "enemy" in the well roared back at him in the same way. The lion’s fur stood on end, and his fury grew even stronger. He showed his sharp teeth, lashed out with his paw, and tried to scare his enemy, but the reflection mirrored his every move. Blinded by anger, the lion leaped into the well, hoping to attack his rival. But instead of finding an enemy, he met his own death. The lion’s pride and arrogance led to his downfall, as he drowned in the well, never to return. After the lion’s death, the animals of the jungle rejoiced. They had been freed from his cruel rule. The wise fox, who had helped the animals organize the plan, stood before them and spoke, “Let this be a lesson to all. No one should rule with cruelty or pride. From now on, we will live in peace and equality. We will establish a fair and just democracy in our kingdom, where everyone’s voice will be heard.” From that day on, the jungle thrived under the new system. The animals worked together, treated each other with kindness, and ruled their land through mutual respect and fairness. Moral: Pride and cruelty will eventually lead to one's downfall, while humility and fairness bring true strength. Ad সিংহ এবং ছায়া / গর্বিত সিংহের পতন অনেক অনেক আগে, এক বিশাল জঙ্গলে এক শক্তিশালী সিংহ বাস করত। সে তার শক্তি নিয়ে খুব গর্বিত ছিল এবং প্রায়শই অন্যান্য সমস্ত প্রাণীর কাছে এটি নিয়ে গর্ব করত। সিংহ অন্যান্য প্রাণীদের দুর্বল এবং তুচ্ছ মনে করে তাদের অবজ্ঞা করত। যখনই সে ইচ্ছা করত, সে তাদের যন্ত্রণা দিত, তাদের কোনও দয়া বা অনুভূতির তোয়াক্কা করত না। সে লোহার থাবা দিয়ে জঙ্গল শাসন করত, তার শক্তি ব্যবহার করে যা ইচ্ছা তা পেতে। অন্যান্য প্রাণীরা তার নিষ্ঠুরতায় ক্লান্ত হয়ে পড়েছিল, কিন্তু তারা সরাসরি তার মুখোমুখি হতে ভয় পেত। একদিন, জঙ্গলের প্রাণীরা একটি গোপন সভা করেছিল। সভায়, একটি জ্ঞানী বৃদ্ধ শিয়াল নেতৃত্ব দেয় এবং তারা সিংহকে একটি শিক্ষা দেওয়ার জন্য একটি পরিকল্পনা তৈরি করে। পরিকল্পনাটি বাস্তবায়ন করার কথা ছিল একটি চালাক খরগোশ, যাকে তার বুদ্ধি এবং ধূর্ত স্বভাবের কারণে এই কাজের জন্য নির্বাচিত করা হয়েছিল। পরের দিন, খরগোশটি অত্যন্ত শ্রদ্ধার সাথে সিংহের কাছে গেল। "শুভ দিন, আমার প্রভু!" সে গভীরভাবে প্রণাম করে বলল। "আমি আপনার সাথে গুরুত্বপূর্ণ কিছু সম্পর্কে কথা বলতে এসেছি।" সিংহটি কৌতূহলী হয়ে খরগোশকে জিজ্ঞাসা করল, "আমরা সকলেই তোমার মহান শক্তির প্রশংসা করি, প্রভু সিংহ," খরগোশ শুরু করল। "আমরা তোমার শাসনের জন্য অত্যন্ত গর্বিত এবং তোমার সুখ নিশ্চিত করার জন্য যেকোনো কিছু করতে প্রস্তুত। তুমি আমাদের সাথে কঠোর এবং নিষ্ঠুর আচরণ করলেও, তোমার প্রতি আমাদের শ্রদ্ধার কারণে আমরা এখনও হাসছি। কিন্তু, হে প্রভু, একটা জিনিস আমরা সহ্য করতে পারি না। বাইরে একটা প্রাণী আছে যে তোমার শক্তি এবং কর্তৃত্বকে চ্যালেঞ্জ করার সাহস করে। সে বিশ্বাস করে যে সে তোমার চেয়েও শক্তিশালী এবং তোমাকে দ্বন্দ্বযুদ্ধের জন্য আমন্ত্রণ জানিয়েছে। সে দাবি করে যে সে তোমাকে পরাজিত করবে এবং তোমার রাজ্য দখল করবে। আমরা এটা হতে দিতে পারি না।" সিংহ, যে সবসময় নিজেকে অজেয় মনে করত, রেগে গেল। "এই প্রাণীটি কোথায়? এক্ষুনি তাকে আমার কাছে নিয়ে এসো!" সে গর্জন করে বলল। "আমি তাকে আমার শক্তির শক্তি দেখাবো! আমি তাকে ছিঁড়ে ফেলবো এবং আমার বিজয়ের চিহ্ন হিসেবে দরজায় তার মাথা ঝুলিয়ে দেব!" খরগোশ সিংহের রাগে খুশি হয়ে তাকে একটি দূর পাহাড়ে নিয়ে গেল। সেখান থেকে, সে মাটির গভীরে একটি গভীর কূপের দিকে ইঙ্গিত করল। "সে নিচে আছে, আমার প্রভু," খরগোশ নিরাপদ দূরত্ব বজায় রেখে বলল। "সে কুয়োর ভেতরে তোমার জন্য অপেক্ষা করছে।" ক্রোধে ভরা সিংহটি কুয়োর দিকে ছুটে গেল। সে জলের দিকে তাকালো, এবং অবাক হয়ে দেখলো তার নিজের প্রতিচ্ছবি তার দিকেই তাকিয়ে আছে। ক্রোধে সে প্রচণ্ড গর্জন করলো, এবং তার অবাক হওয়ার জন্য, কুয়োর "শত্রু" একইভাবে তার দিকে গর্জন করলো। সিংহের পশম শেষ হয়ে গেল, এবং তার ক্রোধ আরও তীব্র হয়ে উঠলো। সে তার ধারালো দাঁত দেখালো, থাবা দিয়ে আঘাত করলো এবং তার শত্রুকে ভয় দেখানোর চেষ্টা করলো, কিন্তু প্রতিচ্ছবি তার প্রতিটি পদক্ষেপকে প্রতিফলিত করলো। রাগে অন্ধ হয়ে সিংহ তার প্রতিদ্বন্দ্বীকে আক্রমণ করার আশায় কুয়োয় ঝাঁপিয়ে পড়লো। কিন্তু শত্রু খুঁজে না পেয়ে সে নিজেই মারা গেল। সিংহের গর্ব এবং অহংকার তার পতন ঘটালো, কারণ সে কুয়োয় ডুবে গেল, আর কখনও ফিরে এলো না। সিংহের মৃত্যুর পর, জঙ্গলের প্রাণীরা আনন্দিত হলো। তারা তার নিষ্ঠুর শাসন থেকে মুক্তি পেয়েছে। পশুদের পরিকল্পনা তৈরিতে সাহায্যকারী জ্ঞানী শিয়াল তাদের সামনে দাঁড়িয়ে বলল, “এটা সবার জন্য একটা শিক্ষা হোক। কেউ যেন নিষ্ঠুরতা বা অহংকার নিয়ে শাসন না করে। এখন থেকে আমরা শান্তি ও সাম্যের মধ্যে বাস করব। আমরা আমাদের রাজ্যে একটি ন্যায্য ও ন্যায্য গণতন্ত্র প্রতিষ্ঠা করব, যেখানে সকলের কণ্ঠস্বর শোনা যাবে।” সেই দিন থেকে, নতুন ব্যবস্থার অধীনে জঙ্গল সমৃদ্ধ হয়ে ওঠে। পশুরা একসাথে কাজ করত, একে অপরের সাথে সদয় আচরণ করত এবং পারস্পরিক শ্রদ্ধা ও ন্যায্যতার মাধ্যমে তাদের জমি শাসন করত। নীতি: অহংকার এবং নিষ্ঠুরতা অবশেষে একজনের পতনের দিকে নিয়ে যাবে, অন্যদিকে নম্রতা এবং ন্যায্যতা প্রকৃত শক্তি নিয়ে আসবে।

A King’s Painting   Once upon a time, there was a Kingdom. The king there only had one leg and one eye, but he was very intelligent and kind. Everyone in his kingdom lived a happy and a healthy life because of their king. One day the king was walking through the palace hallway and saw the portraits of his ancestors. He thought that one day his children will walk in the same hallway and remember all the ancestors through these portraits. But, the king did not have his portrait painted. Due to his physical disabilities, he wasn’t sure how his painting would turn out. So he invited many famous painters from his and other kingdoms to the court. The king then announced that he wants a beautiful portrait made of himself to be placed in the palace. Any painter who can carry out this should come forward. He will be rewarded based on how the painting turns up. All of the painters began to think that the king only has one leg and one eye. How can his picture be made very beautiful? It is not possible and if the picture does not turn out to look beautiful then the king will get angry and punish them. So one by one, all started to make excuses and politely declined to make a painting of the king. But suddenly one painter raised his hand and said that I will make a very beautiful portrait of you which you will surely like. The king became happy hearing that and other painters got curious. The king gave him the permission and the painter started drawing the portrait. He then filled the drawing with paints. Finally, after taking a long time, he said that the portrait was ready! All of the courtiers, other painters were curious and nervous thinking, How can the painter make the king’s portrait beautiful because the king is physically disabled? What if the king didn’t like the painting and gets angry? But when the painter presented the portrait, everyone in the court, including the king, left stunned. The painter made a portrait in which the king was sitting on the horse, on the one-leg side, holding his bow and aiming the arrow with his one eye closed. The king was very pleased to see that the painter has made a beautiful portrait by cleverly hiding the king’s disabilities. The King gave him a great reward. Moral: We should always think positive of others and ignore their deficiencies. We should learn to focus on the good things instead of trying to hide weaknesses. If we think and approach positively even in a negative situation, then we will be able to solve our problems more efficiently.

As he grew older, he began to worry about the future of his kingdom. He wanted to choose the best ruler among his children, someone who would rule with wisdom and care for the people. Since he loved his country deeply, he wished to find a successor who would ensure peace, prosperity, and justice for all. One day, the king called his three children to his court. He asked them, "If you were made the next ruler, how would you govern the country?" The eldest prince confidently replied, "I will strengthen the army and rule with an iron hand. A strong army will make our country powerful and feared by others." The second prince said, "I will introduce strict laws and make sure everyone follows them. Discipline is the key to ruling a kingdom successfully." Finally, it was the princess’s turn. She said thoughtfully, "A strong army and strict laws are important, but they are not enough to make a country truly great. To rule properly, we must first remove poverty and ensure good governance. If the people are happy and prosperous, the kingdom will remain strong without the need for fear or force." The king was deeply impressed by her wise words. He realized that she was the best choice to lead the country. With great joy, the king declared the princess as the next ruler. The people of the kingdom welcomed this decision with happiness. Under her rule, the country flourished, poverty was reduced, and justice prevailed. The princess proved to be a wise and compassionate leader, loved and respected by all.

The second prince told the king that he would introduce strict laws and rule the country.

He declared independence from...................... Ans.                             The Greatness of Issa Khan Everybody has heard the name of Issa Khan, who was one of the twelve independent Jamindars of Bengal. He declared independence from Mughal rule and made Sonargaon his capital. As a result, Akbar, the Emperor of Delhi, sent Shahbaz Khan to punish Issa Khan. Unfortunately, Shahbaz Khan was defeated. Akbar became furious and sent his greatest general, Maan Singh, to Bengal. A terrible battle took place near the fort of Egarosindhu. In the battle, Maan Singh's son-in-law was killed, which made him even angrier. Instead of causing the deaths of many poor soldiers, Maan Singh invited Issa Khan to fight a duel. Issa Khan gladly accepted the challenge. The duel started, but neither of them emerged victorious. In the meantime, the sun was about to set. Suddenly, Maan Singh's sword broke in the middle. Issa Khan could have easily cut off the head of his great enemy, but he was so noble that he did not take revenge on an unarmed opponent. Instead, he offered Maan Singh his own sword and personally took another one. Maan Singh was struck with wonder at the nobility and greatness of Issa Khan. At once, he threw down his sword on the ground and bowed before Issa Khan. Issa Khan also came forward and embraced Maan Singh. Thus, the deadly enemies became friends. One cannot please everyone with power, wealth, titles, positions, or strength. But one can win the hearts of all through nobility and greatness. These are the greatest qualities of a person’s life. We should all strive to acquire these virtues, as they make one truly great and immortal on earth. Ad ঈসা খানের মহত্ত্ব সবাই ঈসা খানের নাম শুনেছে, যিনি বাংলার বারোজন স্বাধীন জমিদারের একজন ছিলেন। তিনি মুঘল শাসন থেকে স্বাধীনতা ঘোষণা করেছিলেন এবং সোনারগাঁকে তার রাজধানী করেছিলেন। ফলস্বরূপ, দিল্লির সম্রাট আকবর ঈসা খানকে শাস্তি দেওয়ার জন্য শাহবাজ খানকে পাঠান। দুর্ভাগ্যবশত, শাহবাজ খান পরাজিত হন। আকবর ক্ষুব্ধ হয়ে তার সর্বশ্রেষ্ঠ সেনাপতি মান সিংকে বাংলায় পাঠান। এগারোসিন্ধুর দুর্গের কাছে এক ভয়াবহ যুদ্ধ সংঘটিত হয়। যুদ্ধে মান সিংহের জামাতা নিহত হন, যা তাকে আরও ক্ষুব্ধ করে তোলে। অনেক দরিদ্র সৈন্যের মৃত্যুর পরিবর্তে, মান সিংহ ঈসা খানকে দ্বন্দ্বযুদ্ধের জন্য আমন্ত্রণ জানান। ঈসা খান আনন্দের সাথে চ্যালেঞ্জ গ্রহণ করেন। দ্বন্দ্বযুদ্ধ শুরু হয়, কিন্তু তাদের কেউই বিজয়ী হননি। এরই মধ্যে, সূর্য অস্ত যাওয়ার পথে। হঠাৎ, মান সিংহের তরবারি মাঝখানে ভেঙে যায়। ঈসা খান সহজেই তার মহান শত্রুর মাথা কেটে ফেলতে পারতেন, কিন্তু তিনি এতটাই মহৎ ছিলেন যে তিনি একজন নিরস্ত্র প্রতিপক্ষের উপর প্রতিশোধ নেননি। পরিবর্তে, তিনি মান সিংকে নিজের তরবারি দিলেন এবং নিজে আরেকটি তরবারি নিলেন। মান সিং ইসা খানের আভিজাত্য এবং মহত্ত্ব দেখে অবাক হয়ে গেলেন। সাথে সাথে তিনি তার তরবারি মাটিতে ফেলে দিলেন এবং ইসা খানের সামনে মাথা নত করলেন। ইসা খানও এগিয়ে এসে মান সিংকে জড়িয়ে ধরলেন। এভাবে, মারাত্মক শত্রুরা বন্ধু হয়ে গেল। ক্ষমতা, সম্পদ, পদবি, পদমর্যাদা বা শক্তি দিয়ে সকলকে খুশি করা যায় না। কিন্তু আভিজাত্য এবং মহত্ত্বের মাধ্যমে সকলের হৃদয় জয় করা যায়। এগুলোই একজন ব্যক্তির জীবনের সর্বশ্রেষ্ঠ গুণ। আমাদের সকলের উচিত এই গুণাবলী অর্জনের জন্য প্রচেষ্টা করা, কারণ এগুলোই পৃথিবীতে একজনকে সত্যিকার অর্থে মহান এবং অমর করে তোলে।

Hazi Mohammad Mohsin and the Thief           One night Mohsin was sleeping. At midnight he heard a sound. He woke up. He saw a man in his room. He was looking for something. Mohsin caught the man. He asked him, “Who are you? Why have you entered my room? What were you looking for?” the man was very afraid. He said, “I’m a thief. I was looking for money.”                     “Why don’t you earn money? Why have you become a thief?” Mohsin asked angrily. The man replied, “I’m without any work. I don’t have money to buy food. So I’ve become a thief.” Mohsin said, “You should be ashamed! Don’t you know the punishment for theft?”                        The thief said, “I’ve never stolen in my life. Yesterday my small children didn’t have anything to eat. They cried for food. I begged for money. Nobody gave me any money. So I came to steal” Mohsin felt pity for the thief he let him go. He gave him some money and said, “Here’s some money for you. Buy food for your children. Find some work. Earn money. Never steal.”                       The thief was very grateful. He thanked Mohsin and left with the money. He became an honest man. He worked hard and earned money.    The Kindness of Haji Mohammad Mohsin One night, Haji Mohammad Mohsin was sleeping peacefully. Suddenly, at midnight, he heard a strange noise. The sound woke him up, and he opened his eyes. In the dim light, he saw a man moving around in his room. The man was looking for something. Mohsin quickly got up and caught the man. He held him firmly and asked, "Who are you? Why have you entered my room? What are you looking for?" The man looked frightened. His hands were shaking, and his face was pale. After a moment, he replied in a soft voice, "I am a thief. I came here to steal money." Mohsin looked at him with surprise and asked angrily, "Why don’t you earn money by working? Why have you chosen to become a thief?" The man sighed and said, "I have no work. I have no money to buy food. My family is starving. I had no other choice, so I became a thief." Mohsin’s anger softened a little, but he still wanted to know more. He asked, "You know that stealing is a big crime. Are you not afraid of punishment?" The thief lowered his head in shame. Then he said with a heavy heart, "I have never stolen before. But yesterday, my little children went to bed without eating anything. They cried the whole night for food. I begged for help, but no one gave me money. I had no other way, so I came here to steal for the first time in my life." Mohsin looked at the man carefully. He could see the pain in his eyes. He understood that the man was not a bad person, but a helpless father who had no way to feed his family. Mohsin thought for a while and then made a decision. He let go of the man’s hand and said, "I understand your problem. Stealing is not the answer. Hard work and honesty are the real ways to live a good life." Then, Mohsin took some money from his drawer and gave it to the man. He said kindly, "Take this money. Buy food for your children. But promise me one thing—you will never steal again." The thief could not believe his ears. His eyes filled with tears. He fell at Mohsin’s feet and said, "Sir, you are a great man. Thank you for your kindness. I promise I will never steal again. You have saved me from a bad path." With the money in his hands and hope in his heart, the man left Mohsin’s house. From that day on, he worked hard and earned money honestly. He never stole again and lived a respectable life. Moral: Kindness and good advice can change a person’s life. Hard work and honesty lead to success, while stealing only brings shame and punishment.

Ans: The Kindness of Haji Mohammad Muhsin The Kindness of Haji Mohammad Muhsin One midnight, while Haji Mohammad Muhsin was sleeping, a sudden noise awakened him. Startled, he opened his eyes and saw a shadow moving in his room. As his vision adjusted to the darkness, he realized that a man had broken into his house. Without hesitation, he quickly caught hold of the man and asked sternly, "Who are you? Why have you come here?" The man trembled with fear but answered honestly, "I am a thief. I have come to steal from your house."  Haji Mohammad Muhsin was surprised at the man's confession. Instead of getting angry or calling for help, he looked at the thief closely. The man appeared weak, his clothes were torn, and his eyes were filled with desperation. Understanding that the thief was driven by necessity rather than greed, Haji Mohammad Muhsin softened his voice and asked, "Why do you steal? Don’t you know that stealing is a great sin?" The thief sighed deeply and replied, "I know, sir. But what else can I do? No one gives me work. My family has been starving for four days, and I had no other choice. I have searched for work everywhere, but I failed." Haji Mohammad Muhsin listened carefully and then said, "You are a strong and able-bodied man. You should not resort to stealing. Hard work and honesty are the true paths to success. If you ask people sincerely, go to workshops, and search for work, you will surely find something. Allah is always kind to those who are honest and hardworking." The thief lowered his head in shame and said, "I have tried, sir, but no one has given me work. My children cry for food, and my heart cannot bear it."  Haji Mohammad Muhsin felt deep sympathy for the man. He took out some money and handed it to him, saying, "Take this money. Buy food for your family and promise me that you will never steal again." Tears filled the thief’s eyes. He was overwhelmed by the kindness and generosity of the man he had intended to rob.

Ad হাজী মোহাম্মদ মোসিনের মহত্ত্ব এক রাতে হাজী মোহাম্মদ মোশিন তার অন্ধকার ঘরে তার কাগজ লিখছিলেন। তখন মধ্যরাত। ঘরটি বেশ নীরব ছিল। মোশিন আল্লাহর গভীর ধ্যানে মগ্ন ছিলেন। সেই সময় একজন চোর তার ঘরে ঢুকে পড়ে। সে চোরকে ধরে ফেলে। চোরটি ঘাবড়ে গেল এবং ভয়ে কাঁপতে লাগল। সে ভাবল যে মোশিন তাকে মারধর করবে অথবা কারাদণ্ডের জন্য হাত কাঁপতে শুরু করবে। সে মোশিনের পায়ে পড়ে অশ্রুসিক্ত চোখে তার কাছে করুণা ভিক্ষা করল। সে মোশিনকে বারবার তাকে মুক্ত করার জন্য অনুরোধ করল। মোশিন চোরকে মারধর করল না। "তুমি কি জানো না যে চুরি করা একটি মহাপাপ?" "স্যার, আমি জানি।" চোর কাঁদতে কাঁদতে বলল। "কিন্তু আমি চুরি না করে পারছি না। আমার বাচ্চারা কয়েকদিন ধরে একসাথে খাবার ছাড়াই চলছে। আমি তাদের কোনও খাবার দিতে পারিনি। আমি সৎভাবে কাজ পেতে বা অর্থ উপার্জনের জন্য যথাসাধ্য চেষ্টা করেছি কিন্তু আমার কোনও কাজ হয়নি। আমি তাদের খাবার কিনতে টাকা খরচ করি না।" আমার চোখের সামনে আমার সন্তানদের অনাহারে মরতে দেখতে পারিনি। তাই, আমি পথ বেছে নিলাম। দয়া করে এবার আমাকে যেতে দিন।” তার অনুরোধে মোশির করুণা জাগলো এবং বলল, “আমি তোমাকে মুক্ত করে দেব এবং তোমাকে টাকাও দেব, কিন্তু একটা শর্তে।” “কী শর্ত?” মহসিন খুব তাড়াতাড়ি জিজ্ঞেস করলো। “দয়া করে বলো। তুমি যা করতে বলবে আমি তাই করবো।” “চুরি করার চেয়ে অনাহারে মরে যাও ভালো,” চোরকে মোশি বলল। “এটা একটা খারাপ জীবনযাপন। তোমাকে এটা ত্যাগ করতে হবে। তোমাকে প্রতিশ্রুতি দিতে হবে যে ভবিষ্যতে আর কখনও চুরি করবে না বরং সৎ জীবনযাপন করবে। তারপর আমি তোমাকে মুক্ত করে দোকান শুরু করার জন্য টাকা দেব। যদি তুমি সৎভাবে কাজ করো, তাহলে তুমি এবং তোমার পরিবারের সদস্যদের জন্য খাবার কিনতে টাকা উপার্জন করতে পারবে।” চোর অবাক হয়ে বলল, “হে মহামান্য মহাশয়, কৃতজ্ঞতা প্রকাশ করার মতো আমার কোন ভাষা নেই, আল্লাহ তোমার মঙ্গল করুন।” টাকা নিয়ে চোর বাড়ি ফিরে দোকান শুরু করে। সে একজন সৎ ব্যবসায়ী হয়ে ওঠে। সেই দিন থেকে সে চুরি করা ছেড়ে দেয়।

His hands were shaking, and his face was pale. After a moment, he replied in a soft voice, "I am a thief. I came here to steal money." Mohsin looked at him with surprise and asked angrily, "Why don’t you earn money by working? Why have you chosen to become a thief?" The man sighed and said, "I have no work. I have no money to buy food. My family is starving. I had no other choice, so I became a thief." Mohsin’s anger softened a little, but he still wanted to know more. He asked, "You know that stealing is a big crime. Are you not afraid of punishment?" The thief lowered his head in shame. Then he said with a heavy heart, "I have never stolen before. But yesterday, my little children went to bed without eating anything. They cried the whole night for food. I begged for help, but no one gave me money. I had no other way, so I came here to steal for the first time in my life." Mohsin looked at the man carefully. He could see the pain in his eyes. He understood that the man was not a bad person, but a helpless father who had no way to feed his family. Mohsin thought for a while and then made a decision. He let go of the man’s hand and said, "I understand your problem. Stealing is not the answer. Hard work and honesty are the real ways to live a good life." Then, Mohsin took some money from his drawer and gave it to the man. He said kindly, "Take this money. Buy food for your children. But promise me one thing—you will never steal again." The thief could not believe his ears. His eyes filled with tears. He fell at Mohsin’s feet and said, "Sir, you are a great man. Thank you for your kindness. I promise I will never steal again. You have saved me from a bad path." With the money in his hands and hope in his heart, the man left Mohsin’s house. From that day on, he worked hard and earned money honestly.

A Generous Work of a Housemaster In a lavish mansion resided a destitute young girl named Rina, who worked as a domestic servant. Although the housemaster was benevolent towards her, his wife was rather harsh and treated Rina with contempt. On one unfortunate day, while Rina was serving tea, she accidentally broke a delicate teacup which enraged the mistress. In a fit of anger, she mercilessly berated and punished Rina, depriving her of food for two days. The condition of the hapless maid deteriorated rapidly.   Witnessing the pitiful state of Rina, the housemaster was filled with remorse and compassion. Driven by his generous nature, he took Rina to a physician for medical attention. After Rina had recuperated, the magnanimous man resolved to find her a new job where she could work without fear of mistreatment. He reached out to a friend who owned a clothing factory and requested him to offer Rina a job in his establishment.   One day, the housemaster escorted Rina to the garment factory and introduced her to her new colleagues. As Rina was referred by the factory owner, her colleagues welcomed her with open arms and extended their helping hands. Thus, the young girl was rescued from her plight and given a chance to start afresh. The housemaster's act of benevolence was a testament to the adage that even a small act of kindness can bring about significant changes in someone's life.     Moral :

A Clever Horse and a Wolf A horse was grazing peacefully in a green field. A wolf passing by, saw the horse and its mouth began to water. The wolf wanted to eat the horse's flesh. He thought the meat would taste delicious. But he realized that the horse was too big to manage to bring down. He invented a plan to capture the horse. Advancing quite close, the wolf spoke to the horse,. trying to sound as pleasant as he could. He told the horse that his health looked rather pale. The horse said that his body's colour was natural which looked pale. But the wolf pretended not to understand what the horse had said. He asked the horse if he was weak as he was grazing in the field instead of working. The horse said that as he was tired of working, his master let him graze in the field. The wolf now circled round the horse, trying to find the best point to attack. He told the horse that he was a doctor and could give him treatment. Now the horse understood the wolfs evil intention. He told him that he felt the pain in his legs behind. Without a moment's thought, the wolf came to the horse's back hoof which the horse raised into the air. And when the wolf had come within the range, the horse gave a mighty kick, hitting the wolf on the jaw bone. A Clever Horse and a Wolf One day, a horse was grazing peacefully in a lush, green field. As the horse munched on the grass, a wolf passed by and spotted the horse. The wolf’s mouth began to water as he thought about eating the horse's flesh. He immediately imagined how delicious the meat would be. However, he soon realized that the horse was too large for him to bring down easily. The wolf, determined to find a way, came up with a clever plan. He walked closer to the horse, trying to sound as friendly as possible. The wolf told the horse that it looked pale and weak, hoping to make the horse feel insecure. The horse, unaware of the wolf’s intentions, explained that his natural color made him look pale. The wolf persisted, pretending not to understand. He suggested that the horse might be weak since he was grazing peacefully in the field instead of working. The horse, tired from work, replied that his master had allowed him to graze in the field because he needed rest. As the wolf circled around the horse, he searched for the right moment to attack. He then told the horse that he was actually a doctor and could offer treatment to help him feel better. The horse, sensing the wolf's trickery, quickly figured out the wolf’s evil plan. He cleverly told the wolf that he had pain in his back legs. The wolf eagerly moved towards the horse's back legs, believing the horse's story. The horse, anticipating this move, raised one of his back legs into the air. As the wolf came closer, the horse swiftly delivered a powerful kick, hitting the wolf squarely on the jaw. The wolf was knocked out, and the horse had successfully protected himself from danger. Moral: Cleverness and quick thinking can help us avoid danger and outsmart those who wish to harm us.

AN OLD FARMER AND HIS SONS Once upon a time there was an old farmer. He lived with his wife and three sons in a small village. The three sons always quarreled themselves and got separated. This made the farmer unhappy. He tried to bring them to their senses but failed. One day when the three sons were quarrelling, he said, “Stop! Don’t quarrel! It’s bad! But they didn’t listen to him. Again one day when the sons were quarrelling and the old farmer heard them, he took a plan in his hand. He called all the sons and asked them to bring three sticks. The three boys brought the sticks and rope for their father. The old farmer then tied the stick together with the rope then he said to his sons, “Now try and break this bundle of sticks.” The three boys tried and tried, but they could not break the bundle of sticks. Then their father untied the sticks and gave one stick to each of her sons. “Now,” he said, “Try and break your stick.” This time they all broke their sticks easily. The sons got curious to know the reason of those activates. They said all to the father, “Why have you made us do these jobs, dear father? What good will come of it?” Then the wise father told the sons, “Wait a bit, dear sons. I’m making it clear to you.” Now the father drew their attention to the tied bundle and the separate sticks. He explained to them that when the sticks were tied in a bundle, it was impossible for them to break the sticks. But when the sticks were made separate from one another, it was very easy to break them. He asked them to take a good lesson from it. The man could successfully make them understand that if they (the sons) remained united, they would remain as strong as the bundle of sticks. But if they remained separate from one another like the untied sticks, they would be as weak as a separate stick. He also told them that if they remained united, nobody would be able to do any harm to them. So he strongly advised them to always remain united and not to quarrel among themselves any more in future. The sons could realize everything and they promised not to quarrel or do any evil among themselves. Thus the old man could effectively teach his sons the valuable proverb, “United we stand, divided we fall.” Industry is the Key to Success Once, there was an old farmer who had two lazy sons. They spent their days idly, avoiding work and wasting time. This made the farmer deeply worried because he knew that without hard work, his sons would never be able to succeed in life. He often advised them to work in the fields, but they paid no attention to his words. As he grew older and weaker, he realized that he had to find a way to teach them the value of hard work before it was too late. One day, the farmer called his sons and said, "There is treasure buried in our field. If you dig the field properly, you will surely find it." Hearing this, the two sons became excited. They immediately took spades and began digging the field. From morning till evening, they dug tirelessly, hoping to find gold or jewels hidden in the soil. However, after digging up the entire field, they found nothing. They were disappointed and sat down, exhausted and upset. After some time, one of the sons had an idea. He said, "Since we have already dug the field, why don’t we make use of it by planting something?" The other son agreed, and they decided to sow corn seeds. They watered the plants regularly and took care of the field. A few months later, their hard work paid off. The field was covered with golden corn, and they earned a good amount of money by selling it. It was then that they finally understood their father’s wise words. The real treasure was not gold or jewels, but the rewards of hard work and dedication. From that day on, the two brothers never wasted time again. They worked hard on their farm, and year after year, their harvests brought them more wealth. Soon, they became successful farmers and earned great respect in the village. They realized that their father had given them the greatest lesson of all—that industry is the true key to success. Hard work may seem difficult at first, but with patience and determination, it always leads to success. The Hidden Treasure The Hidden Treasure Once, there lived an old farmer who had three sons. They were strong and healthy but very lazy. They disliked working in the fields and spent their time idly. This worried the old man greatly because farming was the only source of their livelihood. As he grew older and weaker, he feared that after his death, his sons would struggle to survive. He wanted to teach them the importance of hard work before it was too late. One day, as the farmer lay on his deathbed, he called his sons to his side and said, “My dear sons, I have hidden a great treasure in our fields. If you search for it carefully, you will find it.”  Having said this, the old farmer passed away. The sons mourned their father’s death, but soon, they became eager to find the treasure. Without wasting time, they took spades and started digging the fields. They worked tirelessly, turning over every inch of the soil, hoping to find gold or jewels. Days passed, but they found nothing. Disappointed and exhausted, they sat down and wondered if their father had tricked them. Just then, a wise old man from the village passed by and saw their dug-up fields. He said, “Since the land is already tilled, why don’t you sow some seeds instead of leaving it empty?”  The sons agreed and planted wheat in the freshly dug soil. They watered the crops regularly, removed weeds, and took great care of the field. A few months later, the wheat grew tall and healthy, giving them an abundant harvest. They sold the crops in the market and made a good profit. At that moment, they realized what their father had meant by the “hidden treasure.”  The real treasure was not gold or silver, but the rewards of hard work and perseverance. From that day on, the three brothers never wasted time in laziness. They worked hard in the fields every year and became successful farmers. Their lands flourished, and they lived a prosperous and happy life. They finally understood that industry is the key to success , and they never forgot the wise lesson their father had taught them. Moral:   Hard work always leads to success. AN OLD FARMER AND HIS SONS Once upon a time there was an old farmer. He lived with his wife and three sons in a small village. The three sons always quarreled themselves and got separated. This made the farmer unhappy. He tried to bring them to their senses but failed. One day when the three sons were quarrelling, he said, “Stop! Don’t quarrel! It’s bad! But they didn’t listen to him. Again one day when the sons were quarrelling and the old farmer heard them, he took a plan in his hand. He called all the sons and asked them to bring three sticks. The three boys brought the sticks and rope for their father. The old farmer then tied the stick together with the rope then he said to his sons, “Now try and break this bundle of sticks.” The three boys tried and tried, but they could not break the bundle of sticks. Then their father untied the sticks and gave one stick to each of her sons. “Now,” he said, “Try and break your stick.” This time they all broke their sticks easily. The sons got curious to know the reason of those activates. They said all to the father, “Why have you made us do these jobs, dear father? What good will come of it?” Then the wise father told the sons, “Wait a bit, dear sons. I’m making it clear to you.” Now the father drew their attention to the tied bundle and the separate sticks. He explained to them that when the sticks were tied in a bundle, it was impossible for them to break the sticks. But when the sticks were made separate from one another, it was very easy to break them. He asked them to take a good lesson from it. The man could successfully make them understand that if they (the sons) remained united, they would remain as strong as the bundle of sticks. But if they remained separate from one another like the untied sticks, they would be as weak as a separate stick. He also told them that if they remained united, nobody would be able to do any harm to them. So he strongly advised them to always remain united and not to quarrel among themselves any more in future. The sons could realize everything and they promised not to quarrel or do any evil among themselves. Thus the old man could effectively teach his sons the valuable proverb, “United we stand, divided we fall.” Read the beginning of the following story. Use your imagination to complete it. Give a suitable title to it: Once there lived an old farmer. He had two sons. They were strong but lazy ...... Ans: There Is a Treasure in the Field Once there lived an old farmer. He had two sons. They were strong but lazy. They slept all day long in the shade. They did not bother to help their old father to plough or water and cultivate the field. Just before he died, the farmer said to his sons: "My dear boys, I have a secret, I always hide it from you. I was afraid to tell you earlier lest you should waste the money hidden in my field. But now, before I die, I have to tell you the truth. Soon after their father's death, the boys met together and argued: “Dad said that in the field there is a treasure, that if we dig it out, we would find it. Most likely, the treasure is hidden close to the house, so that robbers might not easily take it away. Come on! Let us begin our work!". The two sons took their spades and started digging the field. They dug hard but could not find any treasure. So they gave up work and went back to sleep. Now that the field was so well dug. they sowed the seeds of melon. After some months, the melons grew big and juicy. The sons picked the melons and sold them at the market. People paid a lot of money for them. The sons realized that the melons were the treasure. From that day, they started working hard in the field. AN OLD FARMER AND HIS SONS Once, there was an old farmer who had three sons. They were strong and healthy but very lazy. They never helped their father in the fields and spent their time idly. The farmer became worried about their future. He tried to advise them many times, but they did not listen. As he grew older, he realized that he had to teach them the value of hard work before it was too late. One day, the farmer called his sons and said, “My sons, I have buried a great treasure in our field. If you dig the land properly, you will surely find it.” The three sons became excited and took spades to start digging. From morning till evening, they worked hard, turning over every inch of the soil, hoping to find the hidden treasure. However, after days of hard labor, they found nothing. Disappointed, they returned to their father and complained that they had wasted their time. The old farmer smiled and said, “My dear sons, since you have already prepared the field, why don’t you plant some seeds?” The sons agreed and sowed wheat in the freshly dug land. They watered the crops regularly and took great care of the field. A few months later, the wheat grew tall and healthy, and they sold it for a good price. The sons then understood their father’s wise words. The real treasure was not gold or silver, but the rewards of hard work and dedication. From that day on, the sons worked hard on the farm and never wasted time again. They became successful farmers and earned great respect in the village. Their father was happy to see them change and live a prosperous life. They finally realized that hard work and unity lead to success, and they never forgot the lesson their father had taught them.

Every day, he would go to the nearby bazar to sell his goods, struggling to make a living. His small income was barely enough to support his family, yet he worked tirelessly from morning till night. Each evening, he would return home, passing by a large banyan tree on his way. One evening, after a long and exhausting day, he reached the banyan tree.

He realized that misfortunes never come alone—one trouble often brings another. His sufferings only grew worse, and he regretted his mistake deeply. Ad

The Golden Touch   Once upon a time, in a far-off land called Midas, there lived a king who had a beautiful daughter, whom he loved dearly. However, the king had a great desire for gold and had amassed a vast amount of it, but he was not content. His thirst for more gold could never be quenched. One day, while sitting in his storeroom, he was struck with the idea that he did not possess enough gold, and it was then that an angel suddenly appeared before him. The angel granted him a boon and asked him to wish for anything he desired, and the king asked for the power to change anything he touched into gold. The angel granted his wish, and the king was overjoyed.   Midas discovered that he could turn anything into gold by merely touching it, and he ran into his garden to try it out. He touched the flowers, and they turned into gold, and then he touched everything he could get his hands on. He was ecstatic with his newfound power. However, his happiness did not last long. As he sat down to dinner, he touched an egg and a cup, and they turned to gold. He then took a piece of bread and turned it into gold, and he became terrified of his golden touch.   When his daughter came to him and hugged him, she immediately turned into a golden statue. Midas was overcome with grief and anguish. He was willing to do anything to get his daughter back. Suddenly, the angel reappeared before him and asked him what was wrong. Midas begged the angel to take back his golden touch and return his daughter to him. The angel was delighted to hear this and granted his request, taking away his magical power.

He was very rich and loved his gold more than anything else. He had a large kingdom, a good wife and a lovely little daughter. But he was not happy because he was never content with the heap of gold he had. He wanted much more. One day, while he was counting his gold bars and coins, the only favourite pastime of him, he heard a voice. "Midas," said the voice sweetly, "I have come from heaven. I can fulfil your wish. But it must be just one wish and no more. "Oh lord!" said Midas with folded hands, may I turn everything to gold with my touch?" "So be it," said the voice. Next morning Midas overwhelmed with joy wanted to test his power. He touched the bed and it turned into shining gold at once. Midas, now happy beyond measure, turned all the furniture around him into gold with his touch. Then he sat down to have his breakfast. But at his touch everything turned into gold. He was afraid. He could not eat gold. How then was he going to live? Just then his little daughter came running to him. Midas hugged her dear daughter and then being horrified saw his daughter turn into gold. Midas in a desperate attempt shouted to her at the top of his voice and started shaking her like mad. But everything failed to bring her back to life. She was now no more than a golden statue. Midas started weeping bitterly as he never did before. The heavenly agent took pity on him at last. "Go down to the river," the voice said once more. "wash your hands in it. The golden touch will then go from you. Then fill a jar with the water of the river and sprinkle the water on your daughter," go saying the voice faded into silence. Midas somehow collected himself and ran to the river as fast as he could. On reaching there he washed his hands in the river-water. Then he carried water in a jar to the palace. He poured half the water of the jar on the golden statue of his daughter. The amazing thing happened again. The little girl became herself once again and started shaking off the water from her wet clothes. Midas then hugged her daughter with all the force of filial love he had in store for his daughter. He kissed her again and again promising secretly to himself that he would never value gold more than anything. He thus learnt a lesson which he never forgot throughout the rest of his life.

He was known for his valiant leadership as a ruler and a warrior. He had an ardent love for freedom, as Scotland was then under the oppressive rule of England. Robert Bruce aimed to gain the independence of his country and engaged in six battles with the English army, one after the other. However, despite his best efforts, he was defeated each time. His spirit became disheartened, and he lost hope of success. Ultimately, he was dethroned, and his enemies were determined to capture him. Robert Bruce became a fugitive, wandering aimlessly in search of refuge in hills and forests until he finally sought shelter in a cave.   One day, while lying in the cave, Robert Bruce reflected on his misfortunes. Suddenly, he observed a spider attempting to climb to the ceiling. He watched intently as the spider tried to crawl up, only to fall down on its silken thread a few inches up. But the spider did not give up. Instead, it continued to try and try again. On its seventh attempt, the spider finally succeeded in reaching the top. Robert Bruce was struck by the spider's persistence and determination. Despite repeated failures, the spider remained undeterred, never losing hope, and ultimately achieving its goal.   This sight of the spider invigorated Robert Bruce, filling him with a renewed sense of hope. He realized that success could be achieved through patience and repeated efforts. He emerged from the cave, gathering his forces for one final attempt. With persistence and perseverance, Robert Bruce was ultimately successful, and Scotland was finally freed from English rule.

She thought of making a good use of her lonely time. She was fond of reading adventure stories and so started reading one. Suddenly she heard a sound of an animal like creature. As Rimi was an adventure story lover, she took it differently. She supposed it might be a devilish creature. She instantly felt terrified, and was trembling. The sound was coming frequently. Out of fear, Rimi started crying. She went to a corner of her bed, and lay wrapping herself with a blanket. Suddenly, the sound came very near. Rimi tried to bring courage, and looked curiously. She saw that two bright green eyes were fixed at her. She burst out in a scream and fainted. When she regained her sense, she saw her parents' anxious face before her. Her mother was pouring cool water on her head. Rimi cried out, and hugged her mother. She told everything to them. Her father then said, "Foolish girl, it was a pussy cat that entered our house somehow. I know you're fond of adventure stories, and those stories make you believe in many strange things. My advice is : read those stories for pleasure, but don't take them in literal sense. Because many things in them do not resemble reality." Rimi was ashamed, and vowed not to believe in strange ideas any more. রিমির অ্যাডভেঞ্চার ভুল হয়ে গেল ছুটির দিন ছিল, আর রিমি বাড়িতে একা ছিল, আর তার বাবা-মা তাদের গ্রামের বাড়িতে চলে গিয়েছিল। যাওয়ার আগে, তারা তাকে সাবধান থাকতে সতর্ক করে এবং সন্ধ্যার আগে ফিরে আসার প্রতিশ্রুতি দেয়। বাড়িটি সম্পূর্ণ একা থাকায়, রিমি তার সময়কে সর্বাধিক কাজে লাগানোর সিদ্ধান্ত নেয়। সে অ্যাডভেঞ্চার গল্পের একজন আগ্রহী পাঠক ছিল, তাই সে একটি বই তুলে একটি বই পড়তে শুরু করে। হঠাৎ, রিমি একটি অদ্ভুত শব্দ শুনতে পেল, যা কোনও প্রাণীর শব্দের মতো। অ্যাডভেঞ্চারের গল্পের প্রতি তার ভালোবাসার কারণে, সে দ্রুত কল্পনা করেছিল যে এটি কোনও ধরণের শয়তানী প্রাণী হতে পারে। ভয় তাকে আঁকড়ে ধরেছিল, এবং সে নিজেকে কাঁপতে অনুভব করেছিল। শব্দ ক্রমাগত জোরে এবং ঘন ঘন হতে থাকে। ভয়ে কাবু হয়ে রিমি কাঁদতে শুরু করে। সে তার বিছানার এক কোণে দৌড়ে গেল, একটি কম্বল জড়িয়ে নিল এবং যা লুকিয়ে আছে তা থেকে লুকানোর চেষ্টা করল। শব্দ আরও জোরে এবং শীঘ্রই তা খুব কাছে এসে গেল। তার সামান্য সাহস সঞ্চয় করে, রিমি কম্বলের নিচ থেকে উঁকি দিল। তার ভয়ের মধ্যে, সে দুটি উজ্জ্বল সবুজ চোখ তার দিকে তাকিয়ে থাকতে দেখল। তার ভয়ের মধ্যে, সে দেখতে পেল দুটি উজ্জ্বল সবুজ চোখ তার দিকে তাকিয়ে আছে। ভয়ে চিৎকার করে সে অজ্ঞান হয়ে গেল। রিমি যখন জ্ঞান ফিরে পেল, তখন সে নিজেকে তার মায়ের কোলে আবিষ্কার করল, তার বাবা চিন্তিত দেখাচ্ছিল। তার মা তাকে শান্ত করার জন্য তার কপালে আলতো করে ঠান্ডা জল ঢেলে দিচ্ছিলেন। রিমি যখন তার মাকে জড়িয়ে ধরে কাঁপছিল, তখন সে যা ঘটেছিল তা ব্যাখ্যা করছিল। তার বাবা, মজা করে তাকিয়ে, বললেন, "বোকা মেয়ে, ঘরে কেবল একটি বিড়াল ঢুকেছিল। আমি জানি তুমি অ্যাডভেঞ্চারের গল্প পছন্দ করো, কিন্তু সেই গল্পগুলি কখনও কখনও তোমাকে এমন জিনিসগুলিতে বিশ্বাস করতে বাধ্য করতে পারে যা বাস্তব নয়। আমার পরামর্শ হল মজা করার জন্য সেগুলি পড়ুন, কিন্তু সেগুলিকে খুব বেশি গুরুত্ব সহকারে নেবেন না। এই অদ্ভুত জিনিসগুলির বেশিরভাগই বাস্তবতার অংশ নয়।" লজ্জিত বোধ করে, রিমি আরও বিচক্ষণ হওয়ার প্রতিশ্রুতি দিয়েছিল এবং তার কল্পনাকে আবার তার সাধারণ জ্ঞানের উপর কর্তৃত্ব করতে দেবে না। সে বুঝতে পেরেছিল যে অ্যাডভেঞ্চারের গল্পগুলি উত্তেজনাপূর্ণ হলেও, বাস্তব জগৎ সম্পর্কে তার বিচারকে সেগুলি আবৃত করা উচিত নয়। Ad Rimi's Adventure Gone Wrong It was a holiday, and Rimi was home alone while her parents had gone to their village house. Before leaving, they warned her to stay cautious and promised to return before evening. With the house all to herself, Rimi decided to make the most of her time. She was an avid reader of adventure stories, so she picked up a book and started reading one. Suddenly, Rimi heard a strange noise, something that resembled the sound of an animal. Given her love for adventure stories, she quickly imagined it might be some sort of devilish creature. Fear gripped her, and she felt herself trembling. The sound continued, growing louder and more frequent. Overcome with fear, Rimi started to cry. She ran to a corner of her bed, wrapped herself in a blanket, and tried to hide from whatever might be lurking. The noise grew louder, and soon it was very close. Mustering what little courage she had, Rimi peeked out from under the blanket. To her horror, she saw two bright green eyes staring at her. Terrified, she screamed and fainted. When Rimi regained consciousness, she found herself in her mother’s arms, with her father looking concerned. Her mother was gently pouring cool water on her forehead to calm her down. As Rimi hugged her mother, still shaking, she explained everything that had happened. Her father, looking amused, said, "Silly girl, it was just a pussy cat that wandered into the house. I know you love adventure stories, but those stories can sometimes make you believe in things that aren’t real. My advice is to read them for fun, but don’t take them too seriously. Most of those strange things aren’t part of reality." Feeling embarrassed, Rimi promised to be more sensible and not let her imagination take over her common sense again. She realized that while adventure stories were exciting, they should not cloud her judgment about the real world. Read the beginning of a story below.

Rimi was staying home alone as her parents had gone to their village home. They told Rimi to remain careful and also assured that they would come back before evening. She thought of making a good use of her lonely time. She was fond of reading adventurous stories and so started reading one. Suddenly, she heard a sound coming from the locked kitchen door at the back of their apartment. Rimi stopped reading immediately. Her heart skipped a beat, and the thrilling adventure story she was reading suddenly felt a bit too real. She sat silently on the sofa for a minute, holding her breath, hoping it was just the wind. But then, she heard the distinct, metallic sound of someone aggressively trying to tamper with the kitchen window grill. Rimi realized with horror that a burglar was attempting to break into their house, knowing her parents were away. Although she was just a teenager and felt extremely frightened, Rimi remembered her parents' advice not to panic in an emergency. She decided to use her presence of mind. Instead of screaming or hiding helplessly under the bed, she tiptoed quietly to the drawing-room and picked up her father's heavy walking stick. Then, she quickly went to the main electrical switchboard and turned off all the lights in the house, plunging the entire apartment into total darkness. Next, Rimi silently approached the kitchen door and stood completely still in the dark corner. After a few minutes, the burglar successfully managed to break the window lock and carefully climbed inside the kitchen. As soon as the thief's feet touched the floor and he took a step forward in the pitch-black room, Rimi turned on her powerful mobile flashlight right into his eyes, temporarily blinding him. At the exact same moment, she forcefully struck the thief's legs with the heavy walking stick and started blowing a loud emergency whistle she kept in her pocket. The sudden blinding light, the painful blow, and the piercing noise completely disoriented the thief. He panicked, stumbled over a bucket, and fell hard on the kitchen floor. The loud whistle immediately alerted the neighbors, who rushed to the apartment and successfully caught the intruder before he could escape. When Rimi's parents returned, they were incredibly proud of their brave daughter's intelligence. Moral: Presence of mind is the best weapon in danger. Ad An Unexpected Little Guest It was a holiday. Rimi was staying home alone as her parents had gone to their village home. They told Rimi to remain careful and also assured that they would come back before evening. She thought of making a good use of her lonely time. She was fond of reading adventurous stories and so started reading one. Suddenly, she heard a sound coming from the small balcony attached to the drawing-room. Rimi’s heart started to beat much faster. The thrilling adventure story she was reading made her imagination run wild. She immediately thought a dangerous burglar was trying to climb up the water pipes to break into their apartment. Remembering her parents' warning to be careful, she put her book down silently. She picked up a heavy wooden umbrella from the corner of the room for protection and slowly walked towards the closed balcony door. She took a deep breath, gathered all her courage, and quickly pulled the heavy curtain aside. To her great surprise, there was no terrifying thief waiting outside. Instead, she saw a tiny, helpless puppy trapped tightly between the iron bars of the balcony grill. The poor animal was shivering with cold and looking completely terrified. The strange noise she heard was just the puppy scratching the door, desperately asking for help. Rimi immediately dropped her umbrella, and her fear turned into deep sympathy. She carefully untangled the little puppy from the metal grill and brought it inside the safe, warm apartment. She gently dried its dirty fur with an old towel and quickly brought a small bowl of warm milk and some biscuits from the kitchen. The hungry puppy eagerly finished the food and soon fell asleep near her feet. When Rimi's parents returned just before evening, they were very surprised but happy to see their daughter's kind act. They smiled and allowed her to keep the lovely puppy as a pet. Moral: Compassion and courage can easily turn a scary moment into a beautiful friendship. A Courageous Mistake It was a holiday. Rimi was staying home alone as her parents had gone to their village home. They told Rimi to remain careful and also assured that they would come back before evening. She thought of making a good use of her lonely time. She was fond of reading adventurous stories and so started reading one. Suddenly, she heard a sound of a key turning in the front door lock. Rimi froze in fear. She quickly looked at the wall clock; it was only two o'clock in the afternoon. Her parents had explicitly said they would not return before evening. Her mind raced, fueled by the suspenseful book she was just reading. She was absolutely certain that a cunning thief had somehow managed to get a duplicate key to their apartment. Determined to protect her home, Rimi decided to act bravely. She quietly slipped into the kitchen and grabbed a heavy frying pan. She hid behind the large curtain near the main entrance, her hands shaking slightly but her grip firm on the pan. The front door slowly creaked open. A tall figure stepped into the dim hallway, carrying a large bag. Without wasting a single second, Rimi jumped out from behind the curtain, raised the frying pan high, and let out a loud battle cry. "Stop right there!" she screamed. The figure dropped the bag in sheer panic and yelled, "Rimi! Stop! It's me!" Rimi paused, blinking in surprise. She turned on the hallway light and saw her older brother, Fahim, standing there looking completely terrified. Fahim studied at a university in another city and had come home early to surprise the family. Looking at Rimi standing there with a frying pan, he suddenly burst into loud laughter. Rimi also started laughing, feeling extremely relieved. They spent the rest of the afternoon happily catching up, though Fahim made sure to tease her about her dangerous weapon. Moral: Bravery is always admirable, but jumping to conclusions can lead to funny misunderstandings. The Quick-Thinking Hero It was a holiday. Rimi was staying home alone as her parents had gone to their village home. They told Rimi to remain careful and also assured that they would come back before evening. She thought of making a good use of her lonely time. She was fond of reading adventurous stories and so started reading one. Suddenly, she heard a sound of loud popping and crackling coming from the kitchen. At first, Rimi thought it might just be the wind rattling the old kitchen window. But soon, a strange, burning smell reached her nose. She immediately put down her adventure book and walked carefully toward the kitchen to investigate. As she opened the door, she was shocked by what she saw. The main electrical board near the refrigerator was sparking dangerously, and small flames had already started spreading to the nearby window curtains. Rimi felt a sudden wave of panic, but she remembered the fire safety drills she had learned at school. She knew that throwing water on an electrical fire was extremely dangerous. Instead of screaming or running out blindly, she acted with remarkable presence of mind. She quickly ran to the hallway and switched off the main electrical power supply of the entire apartment. Then, she grabbed a heavy, thick cotton blanket from her bedroom, soaked it quickly in the bathroom sink, and threw it directly over the burning curtains to cut off the oxygen supply. After that, she immediately opened the front door and shouted for her neighbors. Mr. Rahman, who lived next door, rushed in with a fire extinguisher and completely put out the remaining sparks. When her parents returned and saw the burnt wall, they were terrified but incredibly proud of Rimi. Her quick thinking had saved their home from turning to ashes. Moral: Staying calm and applying practical knowledge during an emergency can prevent great disasters.

She had big dreams—to study in college and become a teacher in the future. However, her parents did not support her ambition. They believed that higher education was unnecessary for a girl and wanted to arrange her marriage instead. Despite their disapproval, Asma was determined to achieve her goal. Her cousin, Mr. Habib, who was a teacher, assured her that he would help if her parents refused to support her education. A few weeks later, Asma’s SSC results were published, and she passed with excellent marks. Mr. Habib was overjoyed at her success, but her parents remained firm in their decision to marry her off. Asma, however, refused to give up. Seeing her strong will, Mr. Habib took responsibility for her education and covered all her expenses. With his support, Asma got admitted into a reputed college in the Upazila headquarters. She worked hard and successfully passed her HSC examination. After two more years of dedication and effort, she earned her B.A. degree. Determined to fulfill her dream, she then pursued and completed her B.Ed. degree, qualifying herself as a teacher. Finally, Asma joined the high school in her village as an assistant teacher. Over time, she brought positive changes to her family’s financial condition and became a respected figure in her community. Her passion and dedication inspired many young girls to pursue education despite societal restrictions. In her later years, she became a famous teacher, known for her wisdom and kindness. Asma’s story proves the importance of female education. Early marriage deprives girls of their potential and must be banned. We need an educated female society to bring real change and development to our nation. Ad

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। Ad 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!” Ad

Ans.                                   The False Friends Once upon a time there lived three friends in a certain village. One day they set out for a long journey on foot. They promised ,to help one another when any problem arose. On the way they had to pass through a jungle. All on a sudden, they saw a bag of gold lying on the ground. They became very happy to have such a huge amount of gold at a time.' They decided to divide the treasure equally among themselves. In fact, everyone was willing to have the entire amount of gold for himself. In the meantime they came near a town. One of them went to the town to bring food for his companions. He took his meal in a hotel and then bought food for companions. By this time an evil plan came to his mind. With a view to killing his companions, he poisoned the food. On the other hand, his friends conspired to kill him on his return from the town and afterwards divide the gold between the two. No sooner had the friend come back from the town than the other two killed him. As they were very hungry. they ate the poisoned food and died. Greed is a sin. It leads a man to death. It harms on all noble qualities. A greedy man is more dangerous than an wild animal. Therefore, we must give up greed to be an ideal man. The False Friends Once upon a time, in a small village, there lived three friends who were very close to one another. They spent their days together, helping each other with whatever came their way. One day, the three friends decided to embark on a long journey. They promised to stick together and support one another, no matter what challenges they might face along the way. As they traveled on foot through a dense jungle, their journey took an unexpected turn. Suddenly, they spotted a bag of gold lying on the ground. The sight of such a treasure made them ecstatic. They could hardly believe their luck. The three friends began to discuss how to divide the gold equally among themselves. However, each of them secretly thought about keeping the entire fortune for themselves. Greed began to cloud their judgment. The friends soon reached a nearby town, and one of them volunteered to go into the town to bring food for the group. His mind, however, was not on food. As he walked through the streets, an evil plan began to take shape in his mind. Instead of simply buying food for his friends, he decided to poison the meal to kill them. He figured that once they were dead, he would be able to claim the gold for himself. Meanwhile, the two other friends, sensing the greed of the one who had gone to the town, began to conspire among themselves. They decided that when he returned with the food, they would kill him, take the gold, and divide it between the two of them. They had no idea that their friend had already planned to do the same to them. The day passed, and the friend finally returned from the town. He brought the poisoned food with him, but as soon as he arrived, the other two friends attacked him and killed him. But their happiness was short-lived. They were very hungry and, without any suspicion, ate the poisoned food that their friend had brought back. Soon after eating, both of them collapsed and died. The jungle, once the setting of their hopeful journey, became their final resting place. The treasure of gold, which had caused so much greed and deception, was left behind, untouched. In the end, their greed led to their deaths. It destroyed all their noble qualities and turned them against each other. They had failed to understand that the pursuit of wealth and selfish desires could never bring true happiness. This story teaches us an important lesson: greed is a dangerous sin. It harms not only the person who is greedy but also those around them. A greedy person is more dangerous than any wild animal, for they can destroy even the closest relationships. If we want to be good, noble people, we must learn to control our greed and strive for kindness, honesty, and generosity. Only then can we lead a truly meaningful life. Greed Leads to Sin and Sin Leads to Death Once upon a time there lived three friends in a certain village. One day they set out on a long journey on foot. They promised to help one another and to be helpful if and when any problem arises. On the way they had to pass through a jungle. All on a sudden, they saw a bag of gold lying on the ground. They became elated with joy and decided to divide them equally into three parts so that they each many get an equal share of the gold coins. Meanwhile, they got tired and hungry. Through negotiation, they sent one of the friends to the nearby market to bring some food. While he went for food, they two other friends plotted against him to the effect that he would be killed lest he should be given one-third of the shares. On the other hand, while going for food, he thought to himself that the food should be poisoned so that he alone could get the whole share of the gold coins. He returned with food mixed with poison. No sooner had he returned than the two other friends kill him. They felt contented and sat together to eat the food. They did not doubt about the foods being poisoned by their dead friends. They ate and were poisoned to death. The bag of gold remained lying on the ground. The three greedy friends were not alive to claim the ownership of the gold coins. মিথ্যা বন্ধুরা একসময়, একটি ছোট গ্রামে, তিন বন্ধু থাকত যারা একে অপরের খুব কাছের ছিল। তারা একসাথে দিন কাটাত, তাদের পথে যা কিছু আসত তাতে একে অপরকে সাহায্য করত। একদিন, তিন বন্ধু দীর্ঘ যাত্রা শুরু করার সিদ্ধান্ত নেয়। তারা প্রতিশ্রুতি দেয় যে তারা একসাথে থাকবে এবং একে অপরকে সমর্থন করবে, পথে যতই চ্যালেঞ্জের মুখোমুখি হোক না কেন। ঘন জঙ্গলের মধ্য দিয়ে হেঁটে যাওয়ার সময়, তাদের যাত্রা এক অপ্রত্যাশিত মোড় নেয়। হঠাৎ, তারা মাটিতে পড়ে থাকা একটি সোনার ব্যাগ দেখতে পায়। এমন একটি ধন দেখে তারা আনন্দিত হয়ে ওঠে। তারা তাদের ভাগ্যকে বিশ্বাস করতে পারে না। তিন বন্ধু আলোচনা করতে শুরু করে কিভাবে সোনা নিজেদের মধ্যে সমানভাবে ভাগ করা যায়। যাইহোক, তারা প্রত্যেকেই গোপনে পুরো সম্পদ নিজেদের জন্য রাখার কথা ভাবছিল। লোভ তাদের বিচারকে অন্ধকার করে দিতে শুরু করে। বন্ধুরা শীঘ্রই কাছের একটি শহরে পৌঁছে যায়, এবং তাদের মধ্যে একজন স্বেচ্ছায় শহরে গিয়ে দলের জন্য খাবার আনতে যায়। তবে তার মন খাবারের দিকে ছিল না। রাস্তা দিয়ে হেঁটে যাওয়ার সময়, তার মনে একটি দুষ্ট পরিকল্পনা তৈরি হতে থাকে। বন্ধুদের জন্য খাবার কিনে না দিয়ে, সে খাবারে বিষ মিশিয়ে তাদের হত্যা করার সিদ্ধান্ত নেয়। সে ভেবেছিল যে তারা মারা গেলে, সে নিজের জন্য সোনা দাবি করতে পারবে। এদিকে, অন্য দুই বন্ধু, শহরে যাওয়া ব্যক্তির লোভ বুঝতে পেরে, নিজেদের মধ্যে ষড়যন্ত্র শুরু করে। তারা সিদ্ধান্ত নেয় যে যখন সে খাবার নিয়ে ফিরে আসবে, তখন তারা তাকে হত্যা করবে, সোনা নিয়ে যাবে এবং তাদের দুজনের মধ্যে ভাগ করে দেবে। তাদের কোনও ধারণা ছিল না যে তাদের বন্ধু ইতিমধ্যেই তাদের সাথে একই কাজ করার পরিকল্পনা করেছে। দিন কেটে গেল, এবং বন্ধুটি অবশেষে শহর থেকে ফিরে এল। সে তার সাথে বিষযুক্ত খাবার নিয়ে এসেছিল, কিন্তু সে পৌঁছানোর সাথে সাথেই অন্য দুই বন্ধু তাকে আক্রমণ করে হত্যা করে। কিন্তু তাদের সুখ ক্ষণস্থায়ী ছিল। তারা খুব ক্ষুধার্ত ছিল এবং কোনও সন্দেহ ছাড়াই, তাদের বন্ধু যে বিষযুক্ত খাবার ফিরিয়ে এনেছিল তা খেয়ে ফেলল। খাওয়ার পরপরই, তারা দুজনেই ভেঙে পড়ে এবং মারা গেল। তাদের আশার যাত্রার সূচনা হওয়ার পর, জঙ্গল তাদের শেষ বিশ্রামস্থলে পরিণত হয়েছিল। সোনার ভাণ্ডার, যা এত লোভ এবং প্রতারণার কারণ হয়েছিল, তা অক্ষত অবস্থায় পড়ে ছিল। অবশেষে, তাদের লোভ তাদের মৃত্যুর দিকে পরিচালিত করে। এটি তাদের সমস্ত মহৎ গুণাবলী ধ্বংস করে দেয় এবং একে অপরের বিরুদ্ধে দাঁড় করিয়ে দেয়। তারা বুঝতে ব্যর্থ হয়েছিল যে সম্পদের পিছনে ছুটতে এবং স্বার্থপর আকাঙ্ক্ষা কখনও প্রকৃত সুখ আনতে পারে না। এই গল্পটি আমাদের একটি গুরুত্বপূর্ণ শিক্ষা দেয়: লোভ একটি বিপজ্জনক পাপ। এটি কেবল লোভী ব্যক্তিকেই নয় বরং তার চারপাশের লোকদেরও ক্ষতি করে। একজন লোভী ব্যক্তি যেকোনো বন্য প্রাণীর চেয়েও বেশি বিপজ্জনক, কারণ তারা সবচেয়ে ঘনিষ্ঠ সম্পর্ককেও ধ্বংস করতে পারে। আমরা যদি ভালো, মহৎ মানুষ হতে চাই, তাহলে আমাদের লোভ নিয়ন্ত্রণ করতে শিখতে হবে এবং দয়া, সততা এবং উদারতার জন্য প্রচেষ্টা করতে হবে। তবেই আমরা সত্যিকার অর্থে অর্থপূর্ণ জীবনযাপন করতে পারব। Ad Grasp All, Lose All There lived three friends in a village. One day the first friend planned to steal gold from a house. The second friend, at once, agreed to this proposal of stealing and expressed his desire to become rich. But the third friend was a bit different. He always denied what the two other suggested but eventually would agree. So this time he also showed his indifference but finally agreed on the condition that he would be given a bigger share than the others. Then, the three friends made all arrangements, fixed the date and took mental preparation against any kind of possible danger. Then, the day came and the three friends started their adventure in the dark of the midnight. They went to a house. They moved around the house for sometime and looked for a scope to enter the house. They found it and all of them entered. They looked for gold here and there. They began to talk to each other silently. But they were careful of any sort of possible danger. They went on searching for gold. At last the second friend found the gold and called the two others. All of them were greatly happy. Now they had gold and soon they would become rich. So they felt excited. But they were yet to leave the house. They were extremely joyous. So out of joy, they forgot that they had come here to steal gold. Thus they made a terrible mistake. They gave a violent outburst of their joy and excitement and awakened all the members of the house. Then they were caught, beaten and put into prison for their guilty act. They had a lesson from this incident of their life. And now they know the fact that those who steal must suffer in the prison. Grasp All, Lose All There lived three friends in a village.

A true friend and a false friend Once there were three friends in a forest. They were a deer, a crow and a jackal. One day the crow saved the deer from a hunter. Since that day the crow and the deer were great friends. One day the crow was ill and he could not go with the deer. The deer went to the field alone. The jackal saw the deer and wanted to cat its flesh. The jackal made a plan and made friendship with the deer. Then the deer introduced the jackal to the crow. Since them they were all friends. One day the jackal took the deer to a field to eat corn. The deer began to eat corn from that field every night the farmer set a net. The deer did not see the set and walked into it. The jackal saw the deer in the net but did not help him. He said to himself, then I shall have a good meal. The jackal then hid himself in a bush. The crow,” said the deer. “Your words have come true. We must not make be in danger, “he thought. So he began to search for his friend. After searching for a long time he found him caught in the net. “Dear crow,” said deer, “your words have come true. We must not make friends with strangers. The jackal is a false friend. He brought me here and now I can’t get out of the net. I will save your life. Said the crow. In the morning the crow to the deer. “When you hear me cawing. please jump up and run away as fast as you can. “The crow then sat on the deer’s head and pretended to strike him with his beak. The farmer saw the deer and thought him to be dead. He then took the deer out of the net, put it aside and began to fold up the net. The crow at once cawed. The deer jumped up and ran away as quickly as he could. The farmer took up his club and threw it at the deer. It did not hit the deer but it hit the jackal behind in the bush and it dropped down dead. A True Friend and a False Friend Once upon a time, in a dense forest, there lived three friends: a deer, a crow, and a jackal. The deer and the crow were the best of friends. One day, a hunter set a trap for the deer, but the clever crow saw it and warned his friend in time. The deer escaped safely, and from that day on, their friendship became even stronger. One day, the crow fell ill and could not accompany the deer to search for food. The deer went alone to a field where crops were growing. While wandering, he met the jackal, who seemed friendly and clever. The jackal secretly wanted to eat the deer’s flesh, but he pretended to be kind. He spoke sweetly and offered to be his friend. The innocent deer believed him and later introduced the jackal to the crow. From that day, all three spent time together. One evening, the jackal took the deer to a nearby field full of fresh corn. The deer was delighted and ate happily, unaware that the jackal had an evil plan. The jackal knew that if the deer kept eating from the farmer’s field, the farmer would set a trap. He waited for the right moment to betray his new friend. The next night, as the deer was eating in the field, he unknowingly stepped into a net set by the farmer. He tried to escape, but the net held him tightly. The jackal, hiding behind a bush, saw the deer struggling but did nothing to help. Instead, he thought to himself, Now I will have a delicious meal once the farmer catches him! He waited silently, hoping the farmer would leave the deer behind so he could feast on his flesh. Meanwhile, the deer realized that the jackal was not a true friend. He cried out for help, calling his old friend, the crow. Hearing the cries, the crow quickly flew to the field and saw his friend trapped. He comforted the deer and said, “Do not worry, my friend. I have a plan to save you.” The crow then whispered, “When the farmer comes and unties the net, I will caw loudly. As soon as you hear my signal, jump up and run as fast as you can.” At dawn, the farmer came to check his field. Seeing the deer trapped, he was delighted and thought, Now I have caught the thief! But before killing the deer, he wanted to fold up his net. Meanwhile, the clever crow sat on the deer’s head and pretended to peck at his eyes. The farmer thought the deer was dead and untied the net, thinking he would take the deer home later. At that very moment, the crow gave a loud caw! The deer immediately jumped up and dashed away at full speed. The farmer, shocked and angry, picked up his heavy club and threw it with all his might. But instead of hitting the deer, the club struck the jackal, who was still hiding in the bush. The jackal let out a painful cry and fell to the ground, dead. The deer and the crow met later and hugged each other with joy. The deer said, “Your words were true, my friend. We should never trust strangers too easily. A false friend will betray us, but a true friend will always stand by us.” From that day on, the deer and the crow remained the best of friends, while the cunning jackal paid the price for his greed and betrayal. একজন প্রকৃত বন্ধু এবং একজন মিথ্যা বন্ধু একবার এক বনে তিন বন্ধু ছিল। তারা ছিল একটি হরিণ, একটি কাক এবং একটি শিয়াল। একদিন কাকটি হরিণটিকে এক শিকারীর হাত থেকে রক্ষা করেছিল। সেই দিন থেকে কাক এবং হরিণ পরম বন্ধু ছিল। একদিন কাকটি অসুস্থ হয়ে পড়েছিল এবং সে হরিণের সাথে যেতে পারেনি। হরিণ একা মাঠে গিয়েছিল। শিয়ালটি হরিণটিকে দেখে তার মাংস খেতে চেয়েছিল। শিয়ালটি একটি পরিকল্পনা করে হরিণের সাথে বন্ধুত্ব করে। তারপর হরিণটি শিয়ালটিকে কাকের সাথে পরিচয় করিয়ে দেয়। যেহেতু তারা সবাই বন্ধু ছিল। একদিন শিয়ালটি হরিণটিকে ভুট্টা খেতে একটি ক্ষেতে নিয়ে যায়। হরিণটি প্রতি রাতে সেই ক্ষেতের ভুট্টা খেতে শুরু করে, কৃষক জাল পাতে। হরিণটি জাল দেখতে না পেয়ে তাতে ঢুকে পড়ে। শিয়ালটি জালে হরিণটিকে দেখতে পেয়েও তাকে সাহায্য করেনি। সে মনে মনে বলল, তাহলে আমি ভালো খাবার খাবো। শিয়ালটি তখন ঝোপের মধ্যে লুকিয়ে রইল। কাক,” হরিণ বলল। “তোমার কথা সত্যি হয়েছে। আমাদের বিপদে ফেলা উচিত নয়,” সে ভাবল। তাই সে তার বন্ধুকে খুঁজতে শুরু করল। অনেকক্ষণ খোঁজাখুঁজির পর সে তাকে জালে আটকা পড়ে থাকতে দেখতে পেল। “প্রিয় কাক,” হরিণ বলল, “তোমার কথা সত্যি হয়েছে। আমাদের অপরিচিতদের সাথে বন্ধুত্ব করা উচিত নয়। শিয়ালটি একজন মিথ্যা বন্ধু। সে আমাকে এখানে এনেছে এবং এখন আমি জাল থেকে বের হতে পারছি না। আমি তোমার জীবন বাঁচাবো।” কাক বলল। সকালে কাক হরিণের কাছে গেল। “যখন তুমি আমার ডাক শুনতে পাবে, তখন লাফিয়ে উঠে যত তাড়াতাড়ি সম্ভব পালিয়ে যাও।” কাকটি হরিণের মাথায় বসে তার ঠোঁট দিয়ে তাকে আঘাত করার ভান করল। কৃষক হরিণটিকে দেখতে পেল এবং ভেবেছিল সে মারা গেছে। তারপর সে হরিণটিকে জাল থেকে বের করে একপাশে রেখে জালটি ভাঁজ করতে শুরু করল। কাকটি তৎক্ষণাৎ ডাক দিল। হরিণটি লাফিয়ে উঠে যত তাড়াতাড়ি সম্ভব দৌড়ে চলে গেল। কৃষক তার লাঠিটি তুলে হরিণের দিকে ছুঁড়ে মারল। হরিণটি হরিণকে আঘাত করেনি বরং ঝোপের পিছনে শিয়ালটিকে আঘাত করেছিল এবং সে মারা গিয়েছিল। Ad 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!” Ad

A Feeling of Pride: I was walking home yesterday    During my walk home yesterday, I was approached by a diminutive man with an extensive painted beard and only one functioning limb. He inquired as to the whereabouts of "Nur Munjil," which was quite astonishing to me as that was the name of my residence. I promptly invited him to follow me as I led him to my doorstep. My mother opened the door and immediately recognized the stranger. He was none other than one of my paternal uncles who had joined the liberation war in 1971.   He then recounted, in great detail, his experiences during and after the war. I listened with keen interest as he described his valiant acts of bravery against the enemy forces. However, he suffered a grievous blow to his head which resulted in the loss of his previous memories. The subsequent days of his life were a bleak and harrowing experience. He was driven to madness, wandering aimlessly with an incomprehensible look in his eyes.   However, just a few days earlier, he had a moment of clarity and regained his memories. It was at that moment that the significance of "Nur Munjil" became apparent to him, and he had returned to reunite with his loved ones after a prolonged absence. As I listened to his tale with undivided attention, I couldn't help but feel an immense admiration and respect for this enlightened man. He had endured unspeakable hardships but emerged from them with a newfound appreciation for life.   I am deeply moved by his story and have reserved a special place in the depths of my heart to honor and cherish him forever. He is a true symbol of perseverance, courage, and resilience in the face of adversity. Moral : A Freedom Fighter Mostafa Kamal was a sportive young of 24. he was very confident. Everybody was charmed by his courage, intelligence and promptness. He joined in the liberation force for the freedom of his motherland. April, 1971. Pakistani invader force was approaching to Bramanbaria to invade it. the liberation force were attacking them. Three camps were raised surrounding Bramanbaria (and they were situated at Ashugonj, Ujanishor and at the bank of Anderson Khal.---can be excluded). But still then there was lack of safety at the south. A platoon went to the south obeying the order of liberation commander. That platoon consisted of only ten liberation fighters. And Shipahi Mohammad Mostafa Kamal was the captain of that platoon. 16 April, 1971. Mostafa Kamal heard news that Pak invader force was coming in Comilla. It was invader’s aim to destroy the liberation force and invade Bramanbaria. 17 April,1971. Pak invader force began shooting over liberation force at Daruin village early in th emorning. Mostafa Kamal realized that only ten soldiers could not defeat the invader force. So he sent message to the Commander for more soldiers. 18 April, 1971. There was cloud from the early morning. The liberation force thought if rain came, they would be safe from the attack of invader force. The whole morning passed without any attack. No bombing happened by the invader force. But only a helicopter flew to the west at the pool of Ujanishor. When it was 11 a.m., the rain started heavily. And shooting and bombing were started with rain. The Pak invader force was approaching. The Pak attack was increased at 12a.m. The shooting of liberation force was nothing against Pak invader. Suddenly, one bullet pierced in the machinegun man of liberation force. Machinegun stopped instantly. Seeing this Mostafa Kamal took the place of dead gunman and began shooting without delay. But they were few. Pak invader force increased their attack. The liberation force did not know what to do. They did not have heavy weapon. In these circumstances, only two ways were opened--- one was death by fighting and another was going back. But it was the man of Mostafa Kamal who did not know to go back; he knew only fighting. Mostafa Kamal began shooting on standing . nine liberation fightrs were killed by this time and ten more fighters were injured. Death was certain if they would not go back. In this situation Mostafa Kamal ddecided to fight alone against the foe. He would shoot inorder to free the other liberation fighters. He ordered to his fighter friends to go back quickly. They did not want go back without Mostafa Kamal. But Mostafa was determind. He said, “ You must go back. Otherwise the foe will kill everybody.” He again otdered not to waste time. At last every was compelled to go back safely leaving Mostafa alone. He still shooting continiously. Pak invader force approached near, but they could not move towards because of Mostafa’s fighting. Shooting continued for a long time. Suddenly, a bullet stopped Mostafa Kamal. He saved his co-fighters in exchange of his life. The long as our nation will live, the long as his mame will live. He was honoured as “Birshestro” for his courage.

Fox and The Goat Once a fox was roaming around in the dark. Unfortunately, he fell into a well. He tried his level best to come out but all in vain. So, he had no other alternative but to remain there until the next morning. The next day, a goat came that way. She peeped into the well and saw the fox there. The goat asked, “what are you doing there, Mr. Fox?” The sly fox replied, “I came here to drink water. It is the best I have ever tasted. Come and see for yourself.” Without thinking even for a while, the goat jumped into the well, quenched her thirst and looked for a way to get out. But just like the fox, she also found herself helpless to come out. Then the fox said, “I have an idea. You stand on your hind legs. I’ll climb on your head and get out. Then I shall help you come out too.” The goat was innocent enough to understand the shrewdness of the fox and did as the fox said and helped him get out of the well. While walking away, the fox said, “Had you been intelligent enough, you would never have got in without seeing how to get out.” Moral: Look before you leap. Do not just blindly walk in to anything without thinking. The Cunning Fox and the Goat Once upon a time, a fox felt very thirsty. He was passing by a well. He was so thirsty that he jumped into the well to quench its thirst. Now he could not get out of it despite several attempts, as the walls of the well were higher than his height. After a while, a goat came there to drink. As she peeped in, she saw the fox inside the well. "What are you doing, there at the bottom of the well?" asked the goat. "I came down to get some of this wonderful cool water", said the fox, pretending everything was alright. "Come on down and try some. It's the best water you'll ever taste', he shouted to the goat. "And there isn't any more water for miles." "I'm thirsty, and that water does look so good", thought the goat. "OK. Look out, I'm coming down, the goat shouted to the fox as he jumped down into the well. Just as the goat started drinking, the fox said, 'There's one small problem. The top of the well is so high it's going to be hard getting out of here. But don't worry I have a plan". If, he said to the goat "you put your front feet on the wall of the well, I'll run up your back and jump up to the top. Once I'm out I'll help you to get out too." The goat did as he was told and the fox leapt onto his back, jumped up on to his horns, and then climbed up out of the well. "That was a really good plan", said the fox. "See you later", he said, looking down at the goat. "But, what about me?" cried the goat from the bottom of the well. "If you had any brains you would never have gone down there until you had worked out how to get out." said the fox. "Alright, bye, bye..bye, it's the fox style. Enjoy your time down there. Ha .... ha..." laughed the fox as he ran away. The Cunning Fox and the Foolish Goat One hot afternoon, a thirsty fox wandered through the forest, looking for water. His throat was dry, and his legs felt weak from walking so much under the scorching sun. He desperately searched for a river, a pond, or even a small puddle. Finally, after much wandering, he came across a deep well in an open field. Curious, the fox peered inside and saw clear, cool water at the bottom. His thirst made him careless, and without thinking, he jumped into the well. He drank the refreshing water eagerly, feeling much better. However, as soon as he was satisfied, he realized his mistake—the well was too deep, and the walls were too smooth for him to climb out. He tried jumping, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t escape. The fox sat in the well, thinking of a way out. A little while later, a goat happened to pass by. She, too, was searching for water, and when she spotted the well, she came closer. Peeping inside, she was surprised to see the fox standing at the bottom. "What are you doing down there?" she asked. The cunning fox quickly thought of a plan. He smiled and said, "Oh, this water is the best I’ve ever tasted! It’s so cool and refreshing. You should come down and try some too. There is no better water anywhere around. If you don’t drink it now, you’ll regret it later!" The goat, who was extremely thirsty, believed the fox’s words. Without stopping to think, she jumped into the well eagerly. She drank the water happily, enjoying every drop. But as soon as she finished drinking, she looked up and realized the well was very deep. The goat became worried and asked, "Oh no! How do we get out of here?" The fox pretended to think for a moment and then said, "Don’t worry! I have a plan. If you stand on your hind legs and press your front legs against the wall, I will climb up your back and jump onto your horns. Once I’m out, I’ll help you get out too." The foolish goat agreed and did exactly as the fox said. The fox quickly climbed up her back, stepped on her horns, and with a big leap, he jumped out of the well. The goat looked up at him and said, "Now help me out too, please!" The fox laughed and replied, "My dear friend, if you had used your brain before jumping in, you wouldn’t be stuck now. Always think before you act!" Saying this, the fox waved goodbye and ran away, leaving the poor goat trapped at the bottom of the well, regretting her foolishness. ধূর্ত শিয়াল এবং ছাগল একবার, একটি শিয়াল খুব তৃষ্ণার্ত বোধ করছিল। সে একটি কুয়োর পাশ দিয়ে যাচ্ছিল। সে এত তৃষ্ণার্ত ছিল যে সে কুয়োর তৃষ্ণা নিবারণের জন্য কুয়োয় ঝাঁপিয়ে পড়ে। অনেক চেষ্টা করেও সে সেখান থেকে বের হতে পারল না, কারণ কুয়োর দেয়াল তার উচ্চতার চেয়ে উঁচু ছিল। কিছুক্ষণ পর, একটি ছাগল সেখানে জল খেতে এসেছিল। সে উঁকি দিয়ে দেখতে পেয়ে কুয়োর ভেতরে শিয়ালকে দেখতে পেল। "তুমি কি করছো, কুয়োর তলদেশে?" ছাগলটি জিজ্ঞাসা করল। "আমি এই অসাধারণ ঠান্ডা জল খেতে নেমে এসেছি", শিয়াল বলল, সবকিছু ঠিকঠাক আছে বলে ভান করে। "নীচে এসো এবং একটু চেষ্টা করো। এটা তোমার জীবনে সবচেয়ে ভালো জল," সে ছাগলটিকে চিৎকার করে বলল। "আর মাইলের পর মাইল আর জল নেই।" "আমি তৃষ্ণার্ত, এবং সেই জল দেখতে খুব ভালো দেখাচ্ছে", ছাগলটি ভাবল। "ঠিক আছে। দেখো, আমি নিচে নামছি," ছাগলটি শিয়ালকে চিৎকার করে বলল, যখন সে কুয়োয় ঝাঁপিয়ে পড়ে। ছাগলটি যখন পান করতে শুরু করল, তখনই শিয়াল বলল, 'একটা ছোট সমস্যা আছে। কূপের উপরের অংশ এত উঁচু যে এখান থেকে বের হওয়া কঠিন হবে। কিন্তু চিন্তা করো না, আমার একটা পরিকল্পনা আছে।", সে ছাগলটিকে বলল, "তুমি তোমার সামনের পা কুয়োর দেয়ালে রাখো, আমি তোমার পিঠে দৌড়ে উপরে লাফিয়ে উঠবো। আমি বেরিয়ে আসার পর আমি তোমাকেও বের হতে সাহায্য করব।" ছাগলটি তাকে যা বলা হয়েছিল তাই করল এবং শিয়াল তার পিঠে লাফিয়ে লাফিয়ে তার শিং ধরে উপরে উঠে গেল। "এটা সত্যিই একটা ভালো পরিকল্পনা ছিল", শিয়াল বলল। "পরে দেখা হবে", সে ছাগলের দিকে তাকিয়ে বলল। "কিন্তু, আমার কী হবে?" কূপের নীচ থেকে ছাগলটি চিৎকার করে উঠল। "যদি তোমার বুদ্ধি থাকত, তাহলে তুমি কখনই সেখানে যেতে না, যতক্ষণ না তুমি বেরোতে পারো।" শিয়াল বলল। "ঠিক আছে, বিদায়, বিদায়..বিদায়, এটা শিয়ালের স্টাইল। নিচে সময় উপভোগ করো। হা....হা..." শিয়াল হেসে পালিয়ে গেল। Ad A Clever Crane One day, a fox saw a crane walking in the distance.
