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.

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.

One day, while the lion was taking a nap, a little mouse accidentally ran over his face while playing. As soon as the lion woke up, he caught the mouse and was about to kill it. The mouse pleaded for mercy, explaining that it was merely an accident and begged the lion to spare its life. The mouse even went so far as to say that one day it might be able to repay the favor. The lion, however, was skeptical, believing that the mouse was merely making false promises to escape danger.   Despite the lion's skepticism, the mouse insisted that it knew the value of gratitude and would be forever grateful to the lion for sparing its life. The lion, impressed by the mouse's words, decided to spare its life and let it go. The mouse thanked the lion and ran away in joy.   Days went by, and one day while wandering in the jungle, the lion became ensnared in a hunter's net. The lion roared and struggled to free itself, but to no avail. The little mouse, who happened to be playing nearby, heard the lion's cries for help and rushed to its side. The mouse remembered the lion's kindness and promised to help it.   The mouse then used its sharp teeth to nibble at the ropes of the net, one by one. The mouse worked tirelessly, cutting away at the ropes until the lion was free. The lion was overjoyed at the mouse's bravery and kindness and thanked it for saving its life.   The lion and the mouse's friendship grew from that day, based on mutual trust and respect.

First, King Lear asked his eldest daughter, Goneril, to express her love. Goneril declared before everyone, "Sir, I love you more than words can say. You are dearer to me than my own life. I love you with all my heart and will always love you." The king was pleased with her answer. Next, he turned to his second daughter, Regan, and asked the same question. Regan replied, "I love you as much as my elder sister, but indeed I love you more. My love for you will never change. My happiness is in loving you." King Lear was even more satisfied with Regan's response. Finally, the king asked his youngest and dearest daughter, Cordelia, "What can you say to show your love more than your sisters? Speak." Cordelia simply said, "Nothing, my lord." Lear, surprised, asked again, "Nothing?" Cordelia repeated, "Nothing." King Lear, confused and disappointed, said, "Nothing will come of nothing. Speak again." Cordelia responded, "I am unhappy that I cannot express my love in grand words. I love your Majesty as a daughter should, no more, no less." King Lear was not satisfied with this honest and simple answer. He expected more flattery and grand declarations. Out of frustration and emotion, he disowned Cordelia, cutting off all ties and denying her any share of the kingdom. Thus, the elder sisters, Goneril and Regan, became the successors. In the end, King Lear's decision led to tragedy. He could not get along with his elder daughters, and they treated him poorly. Heartbroken and unable to bear their cruelty, Lear wandered into the wilderness. Only Cordelia, the daughter he had disowned, came to his aid and stood by him in his time of need, proving her true love and loyalty. The True Measure of Love Once upon a time, there was a king in England who had three daughters. As he grew older, he decided it was time to divide his kingdom among them. However, before doing so, he wanted to determine how much each daughter loved him. One day, he called his daughters to his throne room and asked them to express their love for him in words. The eldest daughter, Seraphina, stepped forward first. "Father," she said, "I love you as much as all the wealth and treasures of this kingdom. My love for you is like gold and diamonds, shining and precious." The king nodded, somewhat pleased, and then turned to his second daughter, Genevieve. "And you, my dear, how much do you love me?" Genevieve smiled and said, "Father, I love you more than all the beauty and splendor of this world. My love is like the sun that brightens the day and the moon that lights the night." The king was quite happy with this response and finally turned to his youngest daughter, Cordelia. "And you, my dear Cordelia, how much do you love me?" Cordelia looked at her father with gentle eyes and said, "Father, I love you as much as salt." The king was taken aback and somewhat disappointed by Cordelia's seemingly simple response. "Salt? Is that all?" he asked, feeling hurt and undervalued. Cordelia nodded, "Yes, Father. Salt may seem ordinary, but it is essential. It adds flavor to our food and preserves it. Without salt, our meals would be bland and life would lack savor. My love for you is simple, constant, and indispensable." The king did not understand the depth of Cordelia's words and, feeling insulted, decided to give her no part of the kingdom. He divided the land between Seraphina and Genevieve, who had professed their love in grander terms. Years passed, and the kingdom began to suffer under the rule of Seraphina and Genevieve. They were more interested in their own pleasures and wealth than the well-being of the kingdom. The lands became neglected, and the people grew unhappy. One day, a great famine struck the land. Food became scarce, and the importance of salt in preserving what little food they had left became evident. The king, now frail and wise with age, realized the true meaning of Cordelia's words. Salt was indeed essential, just as Cordelia’s love had been sincere and unwavering. Regretful of his decision, the king sought out Cordelia, who had been living modestly in a neighboring kingdom. He begged for her forgiveness and asked her to return and help restore their homeland. Cordelia, ever kind and loving, forgave her father and returned. With her wise and just leadership, she brought prosperity back to the kingdom. The people flourished, and the land once again became a place of happiness and abundance. Moral of the Story:  True love is not always grand or showy; it is often simple, constant, and essential.

One fortuitous day, a seasoned astrologer arrived in the royal city en route to Benares. The king, as was his wont, summoned the astrologer to unveil his future prospects, and was presented with an unsavory prophesy. The palmist disclosed that the sovereign's subjects would mount a rebellion against him, leading to his eventual ouster from the throne. The king, who was adored by his people, was instantly incensed by this prognostication, which shook him to the core.   In an impulsive burst of anger, the king ordered his retinue to publicly execute the palmist on the following day. The palmist, gripped with trepidation, spent a sleepless night pondering his fate. However, as the day of his execution arrived, the old man's demeanor inexplicably transformed. Instead of weeping, he wore a smile on his face, causing the king to be flummoxed by this display of insouciance in the face of his impending death. He scolded the palmist, accusing him of being a liar and asked him why he was laughing in the face of certain death.   The wily palmist, with a loud guffaw, retorted that the king himself would perish within a week, and that he, the palmist, would be hovering in the ether to receive the king's soul. The stars and the moon had purportedly confirmed this prophecy the previous night, which was why the palmist was chuckling away. The king, rattled by the palmist's brazenness, was overcome with fear and speechless for a moment. He then ordered his men to escort the palmist away, for he could no longer tolerate the man's presence. The king hastily departed from the scene, his mind reeling with the ramifications of the palmist's chilling revelation.       Moral : Complete the following story following the clue.

Bangla Translation:   জ্যোতিষী এবং একজন রাজা একদা ভারতে এক রাজা ছিলেন। তিনি জ্যোতিষীদের কাছ থেকে তার ভবিষ্যত জানতে আগ্রহী ছিলেন। একদিন একজন চতুর জ্যোতিষী রাজধানীতে বেড়াতে গেলেন। জ্যোতিষীর খ্যাতিতে কৌতূহলী হয়ে রাজা তার ভবিষ্যৎ সম্পর্কে খোঁজখবর নেওয়ার জন্য তাকে রাজদরবারে তলব করার সিদ্ধান্ত নেন। তার আগমনে, রাজা সাগ্রহে জ্যোতিষীকে তার ভাগ্য প্রকাশ করতে বললেন। যাইহোক, জ্যোতিষী, রাজার ভবিষ্যতে অপ্রীতিকর কিছুর পূর্বাভাস দিয়ে, বিস্তারিত প্রকাশ করতে দ্বিধাবোধ করেন। রাজার পীড়াপীড়ি সত্ত্বেও, জ্যোতিষী রহস্যময় থেকে যান, আসন্ন ধ্বংসের ইঙ্গিত দিয়েছিলেন। সম্পূর্ণ সত্য প্রকাশে জ্যোতিষীর অনিচ্ছায় ক্ষুব্ধ হয়ে রাজা দ্রুত তাকে মৃত্যুদণ্ড দেন। জ্যোতিষীকে যখন তার মৃত্যুদণ্ডের দিকে নিয়ে যাওয়া হচ্ছিল, তখন রাজা, কৌতূহলের সাথে, একটি চূড়ান্ত প্রশ্নটি প্রতিরোধ করতে পারেনি: "আপনি কতদিন বাঁচবেন?" দ্রুত বুদ্ধি এবং ধূর্ততার সাথে, জ্যোতিষী উত্তর দিলেন, "মহারাজের নিজের মৃত্যুর এক সপ্তাহ আগে আমি মারা যাব। নিশ্চিন্ত থাকুন, আমি ওপারে আপনাকে শুভেচ্ছা জানাতে থাকব।" তার চতুর প্রতিক্রিয়া রাজার মেরুদণ্ডে ঠাণ্ডা পাঠিয়েছিল, তার নিজের মৃত্যুর চিন্তায় তাকে ভয়ে ভরিয়ে দিয়েছিল। জ্যোতিষীর অশুভ কথায় কাঁপিয়ে রাজা আতঙ্কে পিছু হটলেন, প্রহরীদের নির্দেশ দিলেন তাকে রাজ্য থেকে বের করে দিতে এবং তার ফিরে আসার অনুমতি দেবেন না। "বিদায়," জ্যোতিষী শান্তভাবে বললেন, রাজার ক্রোধ থেকে রক্ষা পাওয়ার সুযোগটি কাজে লাগিয়ে। এইভাবে, তার ধূর্ততা এবং দূরদর্শিতার মাধ্যমে, জ্যোতিষী রাজাকে ছাড়িয়ে যেতে এবং তার আসন্ন সর্বনাশ এড়াতে সক্ষম হন, রাজদরবারে রহস্য এবং চক্রান্তের দীর্ঘস্থায়ী অনুভূতি রেখে যান। Ad

His body grew heavy, and he could barely move without help.

Without exercise, even the strongest body becomes weak and useless.” The king was shocked to hear this and asked, “What can I do to regain my health?” The doctor replied, “You must work and exercise daily. Physical labour is essential for good health.” At first, the king hesitated, as he was not used to physical work.

Consequently, his body became bloated, and he found it challenging to move around. In search of a solution, he summoned a learned and astute physician who diagnosed that the king's inactivity was the root cause of his corpulence. However, the remedy to alleviate his obesity required the king to engage in physical labor.

He informed the king that his physical health was in grave danger and he needed urgent treatment. The king became despondent upon hearing this news. The physician then handed the king a club and instructed him to swing it in the morning and evening for at least an hour each day. At the outset, the king found the task arduous, and he quickly grew weary and perspired profusely. Despite the initial difficulties, he persisted and continued to swing the club for an entire month.   After a month, the king found himself rejuvenated, and his body had returned to a more healthy size. He appeared trim and fit. The physician returned to the palace to visit the king and informed him that engaging in physical labor is the best way to maintain good health.

He led them to the river's edge, where he ceased playing, but the rats continued to dance into the river and were drowned. The people of Hamelin were delighted and relieved at the triumph over the rat infestation. However, when the Pied Piper demanded the promised thousand gold guilders, the Mayor reneged on his pledge, leaving the Piper humiliated and aggrieved.   Subsequently, the Piper resumed playing his pipe on the street, and all the town's children emerged from their homes, mesmerized and entranced by the music, following him. The parents were grateful that the Pied Piper was leading the children away from the river and toward the mountain. As they approached the mountain, a small door appeared on the mountainside, and the Pied Piper and all the children disappeared into it, and the door was shut so tightly that no one could discern precisely where it had been.       The Legend of the Rat Farmer A long time ago in a land far away there once was a prosperous town called Hamelin. Everything was perfect in Hamelin until the year the rats came. The rats ate up the grain, bit the townsfolk in the toes and scared the young children. Something had to be done! So the Bürgermeister and the Council met together and decided to bring in an outside consultant, Pied Piper Enterprises, LLC. That did not go well. The rats were back the very next year. So in the Spring the Bürgermeister again assembled the Council and they talked and talked and talked. Should they bring in another consultant? Should they abandon the town and move someplace else? They finally decided on a market-based approach to solving the problem. They would offer a reward, a bounty, to citizens who captured, killed and turned in rats. Turn every person in Hamelin into an exterminator. The signs soon went up all over town: "A Silver Thaler for every 10 Rats." The Bürgermeister tracked the results on a big chart on the wall of his office and the numbers looked very good. Each day more and more rats were being caught and killed. The citizens were busy at work. The rats would soon all be gone. But then one day the Bürgermeister went home, and in the doorway of his house was his wife and she was visibly disturbed, "You shall get nothing for dinner tonight! The rats have eaten all of the grain!" "How can this be?" exclaimed the Bürgermeister. "The metrics show that we're eliminating a record number of rats every day. Come with, and I will show you the chart." "Chart, schmart. I'll show you some metrics," said the Bürgermeister's wife, who then took him by the ear and lead him around the town center, and at each house they stopped and heard the same tale. The rats are still eating up the grain. They are still biting townsfolk in the toes. They are still scaring the young children. Nothing at all had improved in the quality of life in Hamelin. All that had changed was that they now had a larger pile of dead rats, and a smaller pile of silver Thalers. An inquest was held to account for the misuse of town funds. During this investigation it was found that a large percentage of the reward money had gone to one old man who lived by himself on the outskirts of town. The Bürgermeister and the Council went to visit the old man. "How did you manage to catch so many rats?" they asked, "You are old and slow". "Simple," he said, "Let me show you". He lead them back around his house to a field where stood an old barn. As he opened the barn doors, he revealed to the astonished Council hundreds of small wooden cages, each one holding 10 large rats. "I don't care for rats much myself", said the old man. "But since you wanted them so much, I thought I could help out a little. After all, I could use the money, and rats are so easy to breed". "Bu...bu...bu...but we didn't want more rats," stammered the Bürgermeister. "We wanted fewer". "Nonsense", said the old man. If you offer a reward for something, of course you want more of it, not less. This is just the free market in action."………………….. The Pied Piper of Hamelin A long time ago, in a small town called Hamelin in Germany,, people had a big problem. The town was full of rats. These rats were not normal; they were big and scary. They fight with dogs, killed cats, and even bit little babies. They destroy food, cut clothes, and made holes in walls. People were very unhappy because of the rats. The people didn’t know what to do, so they went to the Mayor and asked for help. The Mayor was also confused. He didn’t have any idea to get rid of the rats. Suddenly, a man wearing colorful clothes came to the town hall. He had a pipe in his hand. He said, I am the Pied Piper. If you pay me 1,000 guilders, I will take all the rats away from your town. The Town Mayor agreed to pay him the money. The Pied Piper walked into the streets and started playing music on his pipe. As soon as he started, all the rats came out of the houses and followed him. The Piper walked to the River Weser, and the rats followed him into the water. All the rats are died, and the town was free of them. After that, the Piper came back to the Mayor to get his payment. But the Mayor refused to pay the full 1,000 guilders. He only offered 500 guilders. The Piper got very angry, but he didn’t argue. Instead, he went back to the streets and played a different tune on his pipe. This time, it wasn’t the rats who followed him—it was the children of the town. The children were singing and dancing as they followed him. The Pied Piper led the children to a mountain. When they reached the top, a door opened in the mountain, and the Piper and the children went inside. The door closed, and they never came back. Only one child, who was slow and couldn’t walk fast, stayed behind and saw everything. The people of Hamelin were very sad. They realized that because the Mayor didn’t keep his promise, they lost all their children. The Pied Piper of Hamelin A long time ago, the town of  Hamelin  had a big problem with rats. The rats were everywhere. They attacked dogs, killed cats, and even bit babies. They took all the food and ruined important papers. The people didn’t know what to do. The mayor asked for help and promised a reward to anyone who could get the rats out. A man called the Pied Piper came and said he could help. He played a happy tune on his pipe, and all the rats followed him. He took them to a river, and they all jumped in. The town was finally free from the rats. When the Pied Piper asked for his reward, the mayor didn’t want to pay him. The Piper didn’t argue and quietly left. But later, he came back and played another tune. This time, all the children followed him, and they never came back.   Hamelin……….Pied Piper Hamelin used to an affluent city of Germany. The geographical setting was also charming. It was close to sea. The people living in the city were also peace loving. They had many entertaining sources within the city and they were very much sincere to their respective work. The only problem with rolling with them was the Rats living in the city with them. The rats were enormous in number and fearless. They lived in the entire nook and corner, furniture, al-mirah, and other usual and unusual places as well. The city dwellers so agitated about the troubles caused by these rats that they asked the honorable Mayor of the city to sort out a solution to get rid of this problem. So the Mayor arranged a Meeting on this problem. Representatives of all the aristocrats, peasants, traders and housewives attended the meeting. They opined different ideas to eradicate the problem. But, there was no suitable solution. However, they could not  agree to each other on this matter. Finding no other way, the mayor announced,” if anyone can solve the problem, he/ she will be rewarded with 1000 Frank.” All the people presented in the meeting stared at each other, but they did not know what to do. Suddenly, there was an attendant of Mayor, standing at the gate of Seminar Hall of the office of Mayor, with the news that there was someone standing outside. He said, “Sir, there is a man outside, who wants to meet you.” The Mayor said, “Okay, call him in.” Then the stranger was asked to attend before Mayor. The stranger entered in the Seminar Hall and said,” Hello, sir, I am the person who can release you from this problem.” The Mayor asked,” How do you know about this?” The stranger said,” It does not matter, I am pied piper, roam here and there. If you give me 1000 Frank, I can surely destroy all the rats leaving no one left.” The mayor and others stared at each other. The Mayor whispered something with his ither associates and took a decision. After a pause, the Mayor said,” Okay, I am agree with you at this disposal.” “ Please, go on and get all the rats dead.” “ After you have all the rats dead ,you will be given the promised money.” Soon, the piper came out of the Hall and brought out a Flute from his bag. He began to play the flute in a strange way. Afterward, the rats, hearing the music began to come out dancing one after another. The came out from shoes, tables, holes, books, shocks and other unusual places as well. The pied piper took all the rats and mice along with him to the sea. While playing on the flute, he jumped into the sea. The rats followed him and got drowned. Hence the tragic and troubled chapter for the dwellers of Hamelin came to an end. But who knows, what happens next? The pied piper went to the Town Hall and asked the Mayor to pay the promised money. But the Mayor denied paying all the money. He gave him only 500 Frank. He rebuked the piper and asked him to leave the city. The piper overwhelmed in grief and anger came out of the hall and decided to teach the Mayor a hard lesson and the dwellers as well. He the brought out another strange Flute and began to play ion it.  This time, the innocent boys and girls came out of the houses and began to follow him. There was a lame boy also following the piper. Soon the Piper crossed a river and took all the Children following him to a cave in a mountain. There was also a saying that the cave ends in nowhere. It was mysterious and nobody dared to go there. The piper went inside the cave along with the children but never came back. No one knows where about they went but the lame boy who came back finding no way and described the fact. Then there was no one to find out where the children were taken. Soon there was mourning around the city. They lost their children as a result of not giving the promised money to the mysterious stranger pied piper. The pied Piper of Hamelin It was a long time ago. There was a town in Germany called Hamelin. Hamelin was a small but beautiful town. There was a river on one side and a mountain on the other. The people of Hamelin grew crops in the fields nearby. People lived happily there. They had no worries. They had a mayor to look after their affairs. But suddenly the town was faced with a great problem. It became full of rats. The rats were very big and fierce. They fought the dogs, killed the cats and bit the babies in the cradles. They ate up the corn in the granaries. They ate up everything they annoyed. They became helpless. They tried to get rid of the problem but found no way. At last the people came to the town Hall and told the Mayor about their sufferings. The Mayor called up a meeting of his councilors. They talked about different plans. But they could not find any way to kill the rats. Just then, a tall and thin man with a long coat of many colours and a strange hat on his head entered the room. He had a pipe in his hand. “Who are you? What do you want?” the Mayor asked. “I’ a piper. You’ve a problem with rats. I can help you. I can kill the rats. “How?” they asked. “With my pipe”, he said. The Mayor asked. “How much do you want for it?” “One thousand guilders “said the piper. “We’ll give you ten thousand if you can help us to get rid of the rats,” the Mayor said. “All right, I’ll do it. But don’t forget your promise. The pied piper went to the street and took out a pipe from his pocket. Then he began to play the pipe. Soon the rats from every house of Hamelin came out tumbling. There were hundreds of thousands of them. The man went on playing hi pipe. He moved along the streets and the rats followed him. He went down to the bank to the river waser and waded into the river. And every rat that followed him drowned in the river. The piper came back to the Mayor and demanded the promised money. The mayor thought that the rats were all gone and there was no use giving so much money to the piper. He said,” that was only a joke. Take five hundred and go away.” “No, “said the piper,” I would not take less. “ he was very angry. The piper left the mayor’s office and stood in the street. He took up his pipe and began to play again. This time it was a different tune. But on hearing the tune, the children to the town began to dance. As the piper walked along the streets, they followed him singing and dancing. The piper was walking towards the mountain. As they came near the mountain, a door opened.  The piper and the children walked into the mountain and the door closed. Only one boy could not follow them because he was lame.

It became full of rats. The rats were so big and fierce that they fought the dogs, killed the cats and bit the babies in the cradles. People left no stone unturned to protect themselves and their belonging from the attack of the rats. So, they went to the Mayor and told him to do something. The Mayor of the town called a meeting of the councilors and elite persons to discuss the problem. The meeting came to a close without result. At that time, a strange person with a colorful flute in hand appeared before the meeting. He declared that he would drive the rats from the town. He demanded one thousand guilders for the job. The Mayor accepted his demand. Then the strange man went out on the road. He started playing his flute. Hearing the sound of his flute, the rats jumped out to the roads in thousands. The man started walking and the rats followed him. He suddenly stopped beside the river. The rats jumped into the current of the river and all were drowned. He went to the Mayor and demanded the promised money. But the Mayor refused to give him a thousand guilders. Becoming angry, the pied piper stepped into the street and started playing another tune. At the sound of the music, the children came running, laughing and dancing. The parents stood dumb. They thought that the piper would never be able to cross the hill. When the piper reached the hill with the children, it opened up and he walked into it with the children. Then the hill closed and they were never seen again. অনেক দিন আগে, জার্মানির ছোট্ট শহর হ্যামেলিনে মানুষ খুব বিপদে পড়েছিল। শহরটা ইঁদুরে ভরে গিয়েছিল। এই ইঁদুরগুলো সাধারণ ইঁদুর নয়, এরা বড় এবং ভয়ংকর ছিল। তারা কুকুরদের সাথে লড়াই করত, বিড়ালদের মেরে ফেলত, এমনকি ছোট বাচ্চাদেরও কামড়াত। তারা খাবার নষ্ট করত, কাপড় ছিঁড়ে ফেলত, আর দেয়ালে গর্ত করত। এই ইঁদুরের যন্ত্রণা থেকে মানুষ খুবই অসুখী হয়ে পড়েছিল। মানুষজন কিছুতেই বুঝতে পারছিল না কী করবে। তাই তারা মেয়রের কাছে সাহায্যের জন্য গেল। মেয়র নিজেও ভীষণ চিন্তিত ছিলেন, কারণ ইঁদুর তাড়ানোর কোনো উপায় তার মাথায় আসছিল না। হঠাৎ, একদিন রঙিন পোশাক পরা একজন লোক শহরের মেয়রের অফিসে আসে। তার হাতে ছিল একটি বাঁশি। তিনি মেয়রকে বললেন, “যদি আমাকে ১০০০ গোল্ডেন দাও, আমি তোমাদের শহর থেকে সব ইঁদুর তাড়িয়ে দেব।” মেয়র রাজি হলেন তাকে টাকা দেওয়ার জন্য। (বাঁশিওয়ালা) রাস্তায় বেরিয়ে তার বাঁশিতে সুর তুললেন। সঙ্গে সঙ্গে শহরের সব ইঁদুর ঘর থেকে বেরিয়ে এসে তার পেছনে চলতে শুরু করল। পাইপার হাঁটতে হাঁটতে নদীর তীরে গেলেন, আর ইঁদুরগুলো তার পিছু নিয়ে নদীতে ঝাঁপ দিল। সব ইঁদুর পানিতে ডুবে মারা গেল, আর শহর ইঁদুরমুক্ত হল। তারপর, পাইপার মেয়রের কাছে তার পাওনা টাকা নিতে গেলেন। কিন্তু মেয়র প্রতিশ্রুত ১০০০ গোল্ডেন না দিয়ে মাত্র ৫০০ গোল্ডেন দিতে চাইলেন। পাইপার খুব রেগে গেলেন, কিন্তু কিছু না বলে আবার রাস্তায় ফিরে এলেন এবং এবার অন্য রকম সুর বাজালেন। এইবার ইঁদুর নয়, বরং শহরের সব শিশুরা তার পেছনে হাঁটতে শুরু করল। তারা গান গাইতে গাইতে এবং নাচতে নাচতে তার পিছু নিল। পাইড পাইপার তাদের নিয়ে একটি পাহাড়ের দিকে হাঁটতে লাগলেন। যখন তারা পাহাড়ের চূড়ায় পৌঁছাল, তখন পাহাড়ের একটি দরজা খুলে গেল। পাইপার ও সব শিশুরা সেই দরজা দিয়ে ভেতরে ঢুকে গেল। দরজাটা বন্ধ হয়ে গেল, আর তারা আর কখনও ফিরে আসেনি। শুধু একজন বাচ্চা, যে ধীরে হাঁটছিল, সে পেছনে থেকে সব কিছু দেখল। হ্যামেলিনের মানুষজন খুবই দুঃখিত হল। তারা বুঝতে পারল যে, মেয়র তার কথা রাখেনি বলে তারা তাদের সব শিশু হারিয়েছে। Ad

Ans.     Slow & Steady Wins The Race Long ago there lived a hare in a forest. A tortoise also lived nearby. The hare was proud of his speed. He always teased the tortoise. One day, as the hare was heading home, he encountered the tortoise also making his way back. The tortoise was moving peacefully, not bothering the hare at all. Suddenly, the hare stopped him and mocked, "You slowpoke! I feel sorry for how slow you are." Hearing this, the tortoise responded calmly, "Even though you're as fast as the wind, I can still beat you in a race." The hare, thinking this was impossible, agreed to the challenge. They decided that the fox would choose the course and set the finish line. On the appointed day, they started the race together. The tortoise moved steadily without stopping, maintaining a slow but consistent pace. The hare, confident in his natural speed, didn't take the race seriously. He lay down by the side of the road and fell fast asleep. When he finally woke up, he ran as fast as he could, but it was too late. He saw the tortoise had already reached the finish line and was peacefully resting after her long journey. The hare learned a valuable lesson: slow and steady wins the race. The hare and the tortoise Once upon a time, in a dense forest, there resided a haughty hare, who was immensely proud of his remarkable speed. He always boasted about it and mocked the tortoise, his neighbor, for being sluggish. The hare often belittled the tortoise by saying, “You have legs just like mine, but I am certain that you cannot run as fast as I do, or perhaps you cannot run at all.” Listening to this constant taunt, the tortoise got irked and responded by saying, “You can surely run fast, no doubt about that, but I think you can talk even faster than you can run.” Feeling challenged, the hare readily agreed to run a race with the tortoise. However, the hare was confident that the tortoise would not stand a chance against his swift speed. In a tone of ridicule, the hare said, “Friend tortoise, you are merely wasting your time and mine as well. You know my speed, and it would be as easy as picking some soft grass from the field to beat you in the race.” Undeterred, the tortoise responded by saying, “Indeed, I am aware of your speed, but there is one thing that I know, which you do not. And that’s precisely what I am going to take advantage of.”   After this, they both approached a wise fox and asked him to officiate their race. The fox agreed and laid down some rules for the race, and set the destination as well. Finally, the race commenced, and the hare began at a breakneck pace, leaving the tortoise far behind. The hare was supremely confident of his victory and stopped midway to rest, thinking to himself, “What a fool I am! I have run so fast for nothing. Why did I exert myself in the hot sun while that slow-moving tortoise is nowhere in sight? I should start running again when he is about to catch me, and until then, I can rest for a while.” As the hare was exhausted, he dozed off. On the other hand, the tortoise ran continuously, as fast as he could, without any pause. On his way, he stumbled upon the sleeping hare and silently moved ahead. When the hare woke up, he realized that the tortoise had already crossed the finish line, and he had lost the race. Feeling ashamed and embarrassed, the hare conceded defeat. The tortoise won the race, and he felt extremely content and proud of his accomplishment. From that day on, the hare learned that deeds matter more than words and that being overconfident could lead to one's downfall.       Moral :   A HARE AND A TORTOISE    One day a hare met a tortoise on the way. He laughed at the tortoise and said, “You have as many legs as I have. But I am sure; you cannot run as fast as I can. Perhaps, you cannot run at all.” The tortoise became very angry. He answered quietly. “You can run quite fast, no doubt. But I think, you can talk even faster than you can run.” “However, I agree to run a five mile race with you.” At this the hare was much amused. So she said, “come along, let’s fixed a date for the race.”   They fixed a date. A fox came to see the race. The tortoise and the hare came to the starting point; the race began. The hare began to run very fast. She jumped and jumped. She ran a mile in a few minutes. Soon she found the tortoise far behind her. Then she stopped. She said to herself, “ What’s the use of going so fast? Perhaps, the tortoise has gone only a few yards by this time. So, I can very well have a good sleep before he comes up.” Saying so, the hare went to sleep in a bush. In the meantime, the tortoise walked on and on. He did not stop anywhere. When he came to bush, he saw the lazy hare lying fast asleep. He smiled and quietly passed by her. Many hours passed. The hare woke up. She saw that it was already evening. She immediately got on her feet. She began to run very fast. But alas! The tortoise had already gone far. She came in sight of the goal. But the tortoise was already crossing the winning post. The hare felt much ashamed. It reminds us that slow and steady wins the race.  Slow and steady wins the race Or, pride Goes Before a Fall Long ago there lived a hare in a forest. He was always proud of his speed. A tortoise also lived nearby. The hare always teased the tortoise for his slow speed. The hare said, “You have as many legs as I have. But I am sure you can’t run as fast as I can. Perhaps, you can’t run at all.” At this, the tortoise became very angry and said, “You can run fast, no doubt. Run at all. But I think you can talk even faster than you can run.” Then the tortoise made a proposal to run a race with the hare. The hare gladly accepted his proposal and said, “Listen friend tortoise, you are simply going to waste your time my time as well. You have a good idea about my speed. To beat you to me is as easy as taking some tender grass from the filed”. The tortoise replied. “I know your speed but there is still something that I know but you don’t know. I am going to capitalize on that.” However, they both went to a fox and asked him to be the judge of their race is over. “However, they both went to a fox and asked him to be the judge of their contest. They met a cross road. The judge read out some rules to be followed by both of them. The destination of the race was also marked. Finally, the unequal race began. The hare, from the beginning, started at the top speed and soon left the tortoise far behind. Crossing almost half of the distance the hare looked back. He found no sign of the tortoise. The hare smiled and said to himself, “I am really a fool; I have run so fast for nothing. The hare smiled and said to himself, “I am really a fool. I have run so fast in the hot sun with the slow speed tortoise? I will start again when the tortoise will about to catch me and before that I can take rest for a while. “The hare took rest and at one point he fell asleep.

He wanted to find an honest man to collect taxes. Many people applied for the job, but the Sultan found it difficult to identify the most honest person among them. Confused, he sought the advice of his wise counselor. The counselor suggested a clever plan to test their honesty.   The Sultan invited all the applicants to the palace. On the way to the hall room, he had some coins scattered along the passage. The applicants walked through the passage to reach the hall. When they arrived, the Sultan greeted them and gave an unexpected command. “Before I choose the tax collector,” he said, “I want you all to dance for me.”   At first, the applicants were surprised and hesitated. Then, one by one, they all refused to dance. The Sultan noticed their unease. Their faces were pale, and they avoided eye contact. The reason soon became clear — every one of them, except one man, had taken the coins from the passage. They feared that if they danced, the coins in their pockets would jingle and reveal their dishonesty.   The only man who stepped forward to dance had taken no coins. He danced confidently and without hesitation because he had nothing to hide. The Sultan watched him closely and smiled.   After the test, the Sultan declared, “This man is the most honest among you all. He will be the tax collector.” The others were ashamed, and some tried to explain, but the Sultan silenced them. “I placed the coins on the passage to test your integrity,” he said. “An honest man does not take what is not his. This man passed the test, and his honesty will serve the kingdom well.”   The chosen man performed his duties with fairness and integrity, and the Sultan was pleased with his decision. This story teaches us that honesty is always rewarded and that true integrity can withstand any test. একজন সৎ ব্যক্তির খোঁজ একদা এক দেশে একজন সুলতান থাকতেন। তিনি কর আদায়ের জন্য একজন সৎ ব্যক্তি খুঁজে পেতে চেয়েছিলেন। অনেকেই এই চাকরির জন্য আবেদন করেছিলেন, কিন্তু সুলতান তাদের মধ্যে সবচেয়ে সৎ ব্যক্তিকে শনাক্ত করতে অসুবিধা বোধ করেছিলেন। বিভ্রান্ত হয়ে তিনি তার বিজ্ঞ পরামর্শদাতার পরামর্শ নেন। পরামর্শদাতা তাদের সততা পরীক্ষা করার জন্য একটি চতুর পরিকল্পনার পরামর্শ দেন। সুলতান সমস্ত আবেদনকারীদের প্রাসাদে আমন্ত্রণ জানান। হলরুমে যাওয়ার পথে, পথের ধারে কিছু মুদ্রা ছড়িয়ে ছিটিয়ে ছিল। আবেদনকারীরা হলরুমে পৌঁছানোর জন্য পথ দিয়ে হেঁটে যাচ্ছিলেন। তারা পৌঁছানোর পর, সুলতান তাদের অভ্যর্থনা জানান এবং একটি অপ্রত্যাশিত আদেশ দেন। "আমি কর আদায়কারীকে বেছে নেওয়ার আগে," তিনি বলেন, "আমি চাই তোমরা সবাই আমার জন্য নাচো।" প্রথমে, আবেদনকারীরা অবাক হয়েছিলেন এবং দ্বিধাগ্রস্ত হয়েছিলেন। তারপর, একে একে, তারা সকলেই নাচতে অস্বীকৃতি জানান। সুলতান তাদের অস্বস্তি লক্ষ্য করেন। তাদের মুখ ফ্যাকাশে হয়ে গিয়েছিল এবং তারা চোখের যোগাযোগ এড়িয়ে চলেছিল। শীঘ্রই কারণটি স্পষ্ট হয়ে ওঠে - একজন ব্যক্তি ছাড়া তাদের প্রত্যেকেই পথ থেকে মুদ্রাগুলো নিয়ে গিয়েছিল। তারা ভয় পেত যে যদি তারা নাচতে থাকে, তাহলে তাদের পকেটের মুদ্রাগুলো ঝনঝন করে তাদের অসততা প্রকাশ করবে। যে ব্যক্তি নাচতে এগিয়ে এসেছিল সে কোনও মুদ্রা নেয়নি। সে আত্মবিশ্বাসের সাথে এবং দ্বিধা ছাড়াই নাচছিল কারণ তার কাছে লুকানোর কিছু ছিল না। সুলতান তাকে ঘনিষ্ঠভাবে দেখে হাসলেন। পরীক্ষার পর, সুলতান ঘোষণা করলেন, "এই ব্যক্তি তোমাদের সকলের মধ্যে সবচেয়ে সৎ। সে হবে কর আদায়কারী।" অন্যরা লজ্জিত হলেন, এবং কেউ কেউ ব্যাখ্যা করার চেষ্টা করলেন, কিন্তু সুলতান তাদের চুপ করিয়ে দিলেন। "আমি তোমাদের সততা পরীক্ষা করার জন্য প্যাসেজের উপর মুদ্রাগুলো রেখেছিলাম," তিনি বললেন। "একজন সৎ ব্যক্তি যা তার নয় তা গ্রহণ করে না। এই ব্যক্তি পরীক্ষায় উত্তীর্ণ হয়েছে, এবং তার সততা রাজ্যের জন্য ভালোভাবে কাজ করবে।" নির্বাচিত ব্যক্তি ন্যায্যতা এবং সততার সাথে তার দায়িত্ব পালন করেছিলেন এবং সুলতান তার সিদ্ধান্তে খুশি হয়েছিলেন। এই গল্পটি আমাদের শেখায় যে সততা সর্বদা পুরস্কৃত হয় এবং প্রকৃত সততা যেকোনো পরীক্ষায় টিকে থাকতে পারে। Ad Ad

The rats multiplied rapidly, and the people of Hamelin were distressed by their presence. They approached the Town Hall and demanded action from the Mayor, who, surrounded by his Councilors, declared a substantial reward of one thousand gold guilders to anyone who could eliminate the rats from the town. The very next day, a stranger arrived in Hamelin, sporting a hat, and approached the Mayor and his councilors, proclaiming that he could rid the town of its rat infestation for the reward offered. The Mayor eagerly accepted the Pied Piper's offer, and the Piper stepped outside.   The Pied Piper commenced playing a captivating tune, and the rats were lured to follow him. He led them to the river's edge, where he ceased playing, but the rats continued to dance into the river and were drowned. The people of Hamelin were delighted and relieved at the triumph over the rat infestation. However, when the Pied Piper demanded the promised thousand gold guilders, the Mayor reneged on his pledge, leaving the Piper humiliated and aggrieved.   Subsequently, the Piper resumed playing his pipe on the street, and all the town's children emerged from their homes, mesmerized and entranced by the music, following him. The parents were grateful that the Pied Piper was leading the children away from the river and toward the mountain. As they approached the mountain, a small door appeared on the mountainside, and the Pied Piper and all the children disappeared into it, and the door was shut so tightly that no one could discern precisely where it had been.       The Legend of the Rat Farmer A long time ago in a land far away there once was a prosperous town called Hamelin. Everything was perfect in Hamelin until the year the rats came. The rats ate up the grain, bit the townsfolk in the toes and scared the young children. Something had to be done! So the Bürgermeister and the Council met together and decided to bring in an outside consultant, Pied Piper Enterprises, LLC. That did not go well. The rats were back the very next year. So in the Spring the Bürgermeister again assembled the Council and they talked and talked and talked. Should they bring in another consultant? Should they abandon the town and move someplace else? They finally decided on a market-based approach to solving the problem. They would offer a reward, a bounty, to citizens who captured, killed and turned in rats. Turn every person in Hamelin into an exterminator. The signs soon went up all over town: "A Silver Thaler for every 10 Rats." The Bürgermeister tracked the results on a big chart on the wall of his office and the numbers looked very good. Each day more and more rats were being caught and killed. The citizens were busy at work. The rats would soon all be gone. But then one day the Bürgermeister went home, and in the doorway of his house was his wife and she was visibly disturbed, "You shall get nothing for dinner tonight! The rats have eaten all of the grain!" "How can this be?" exclaimed the Bürgermeister. "The metrics show that we're eliminating a record number of rats every day. Come with, and I will show you the chart." "Chart, schmart. I'll show you some metrics," said the Bürgermeister's wife, who then took him by the ear and lead him around the town center, and at each house they stopped and heard the same tale. The rats are still eating up the grain. They are still biting townsfolk in the toes. They are still scaring the young children. Nothing at all had improved in the quality of life in Hamelin. All that had changed was that they now had a larger pile of dead rats, and a smaller pile of silver Thalers. An inquest was held to account for the misuse of town funds. During this investigation it was found that a large percentage of the reward money had gone to one old man who lived by himself on the outskirts of town. The Bürgermeister and the Council went to visit the old man. "How did you manage to catch so many rats?" they asked, "You are old and slow". "Simple," he said, "Let me show you". He lead them back around his house to a field where stood an old barn. As he opened the barn doors, he revealed to the astonished Council hundreds of small wooden cages, each one holding 10 large rats. "I don't care for rats much myself", said the old man. "But since you wanted them so much, I thought I could help out a little. After all, I could use the money, and rats are so easy to breed". "Bu...bu...bu...but we didn't want more rats," stammered the Bürgermeister. "We wanted fewer". "Nonsense", said the old man. If you offer a reward for something, of course you want more of it, not less. This is just the free market in action."………………….. The Pied Piper of Hamelin A long time ago, in a small town called Hamelin in Germany,, people had a big problem. The town was full of rats. These rats were not normal; they were big and scary. They fight with dogs, killed cats, and even bit little babies. They destroy food, cut clothes, and made holes in walls. People were very unhappy because of the rats. The people didn’t know what to do, so they went to the Mayor and asked for help. The Mayor was also confused. He didn’t have any idea to get rid of the rats. Suddenly, a man wearing colorful clothes came to the town hall. He had a pipe in his hand. He said, I am the Pied Piper. If you pay me 1,000 guilders, I will take all the rats away from your town. The Town Mayor agreed to pay him the money. The Pied Piper walked into the streets and started playing music on his pipe. As soon as he started, all the rats came out of the houses and followed him. The Piper walked to the River Weser, and the rats followed him into the water. All the rats are died, and the town was free of them. After that, the Piper came back to the Mayor to get his payment. But the Mayor refused to pay the full 1,000 guilders. He only offered 500 guilders. The Piper got very angry, but he didn’t argue. Instead, he went back to the streets and played a different tune on his pipe. This time, it wasn’t the rats who followed him—it was the children of the town. The children were singing and dancing as they followed him. The Pied Piper led the children to a mountain. When they reached the top, a door opened in the mountain, and the Piper and the children went inside. The door closed, and they never came back. Only one child, who was slow and couldn’t walk fast, stayed behind and saw everything. The people of Hamelin were very sad. They realized that because the Mayor didn’t keep his promise, they lost all their children. The Pied Piper of Hamelin A long time ago, the town of  Hamelin  had a big problem with rats. The rats were everywhere. They attacked dogs, killed cats, and even bit babies. They took all the food and ruined important papers. The people didn’t know what to do. The mayor asked for help and promised a reward to anyone who could get the rats out. A man called the Pied Piper came and said he could help. He played a happy tune on his pipe, and all the rats followed him. He took them to a river, and they all jumped in. The town was finally free from the rats. When the Pied Piper asked for his reward, the mayor didn’t want to pay him. The Piper didn’t argue and quietly left. But later, he came back and played another tune. This time, all the children followed him, and they never came back.   Hamelin……….Pied Piper Hamelin used to an affluent city of Germany. The geographical setting was also charming. It was close to sea. The people living in the city were also peace loving. They had many entertaining sources within the city and they were very much sincere to their respective work. The only problem with rolling with them was the Rats living in the city with them. The rats were enormous in number and fearless. They lived in the entire nook and corner, furniture, al-mirah, and other usual and unusual places as well. The city dwellers so agitated about the troubles caused by these rats that they asked the honorable Mayor of the city to sort out a solution to get rid of this problem. So the Mayor arranged a Meeting on this problem. Representatives of all the aristocrats, peasants, traders and housewives attended the meeting. They opined different ideas to eradicate the problem. But, there was no suitable solution. However, they could not  agree to each other on this matter. Finding no other way, the mayor announced,” if anyone can solve the problem, he/ she will be rewarded with 1000 Frank.” All the people presented in the meeting stared at each other, but they did not know what to do. Suddenly, there was an attendant of Mayor, standing at the gate of Seminar Hall of the office of Mayor, with the news that there was someone standing outside. He said, “Sir, there is a man outside, who wants to meet you.” The Mayor said, “Okay, call him in.” Then the stranger was asked to attend before Mayor. The stranger entered in the Seminar Hall and said,” Hello, sir, I am the person who can release you from this problem.” The Mayor asked,” How do you know about this?” The stranger said,” It does not matter, I am pied piper, roam here and there. If you give me 1000 Frank, I can surely destroy all the rats leaving no one left.” The mayor and others stared at each other. The Mayor whispered something with his ither associates and took a decision. After a pause, the Mayor said,” Okay, I am agree with you at this disposal.” “ Please, go on and get all the rats dead.” “ After you have all the rats dead ,you will be given the promised money.” Soon, the piper came out of the Hall and brought out a Flute from his bag. He began to play the flute in a strange way. Afterward, the rats, hearing the music began to come out dancing one after another. The came out from shoes, tables, holes, books, shocks and other unusual places as well. The pied piper took all the rats and mice along with him to the sea.

The rats multiplied rapidly, and the people of Hamelin were distressed by their presence. They approached the Town Hall and demanded action from the Mayor, who, surrounded by his Councilors, declared a substantial reward of one thousand gold guilders to anyone who could eliminate the rats from the town. The very next day, a stranger arrived in Hamelin, sporting a hat, and approached the Mayor and his councilors, proclaiming that he could rid the town of its rat infestation for the reward offered. The Mayor eagerly accepted the Pied Piper's offer, and the Piper stepped outside.   The Pied Piper commenced playing a captivating tune, and the rats were lured to follow him. He led them to the river's edge, where he ceased playing, but the rats continued to dance into the river and were drowned. The people of Hamelin were delighted and relieved at the triumph over the rat infestation. However, when the Pied Piper demanded the promised thousand gold guilders, the Mayor reneged on his pledge, leaving the Piper humiliated and aggrieved.   Subsequently, the Piper resumed playing his pipe on the street, and all the town's children emerged from their homes, mesmerized and entranced by the music, following him. The parents were grateful that the Pied Piper was leading the children away from the river and toward the mountain. As they approached the mountain, a small door appeared on the mountainside, and the Pied Piper and all the children disappeared into it, and the door was shut so tightly that no one could discern precisely where it had been.       The Legend of the Rat Farmer A long time ago in a land far away there once was a prosperous town called Hamelin. Everything was perfect in Hamelin until the year the rats came. The rats ate up the grain, bit the townsfolk in the toes and scared the young children. Something had to be done! So the Bürgermeister and the Council met together and decided to bring in an outside consultant, Pied Piper Enterprises, LLC. That did not go well. The rats were back the very next year. So in the Spring the Bürgermeister again assembled the Council and they talked and talked and talked. Should they bring in another consultant? Should they abandon the town and move someplace else? They finally decided on a market-based approach to solving the problem. They would offer a reward, a bounty, to citizens who captured, killed and turned in rats. Turn every person in Hamelin into an exterminator. The signs soon went up all over town: "A Silver Thaler for every 10 Rats." The Bürgermeister tracked the results on a big chart on the wall of his office and the numbers looked very good. Each day more and more rats were being caught and killed. The citizens were busy at work. The rats would soon all be gone. But then one day the Bürgermeister went home, and in the doorway of his house was his wife and she was visibly disturbed, "You shall get nothing for dinner tonight! The rats have eaten all of the grain!" "How can this be?" exclaimed the Bürgermeister. "The metrics show that we're eliminating a record number of rats every day. Come with, and I will show you the chart." "Chart, schmart. I'll show you some metrics," said the Bürgermeister's wife, who then took him by the ear and lead him around the town center, and at each house they stopped and heard the same tale. The rats are still eating up the grain. They are still biting townsfolk in the toes. They are still scaring the young children. Nothing at all had improved in the quality of life in Hamelin. All that had changed was that they now had a larger pile of dead rats, and a smaller pile of silver Thalers. An inquest was held to account for the misuse of town funds. During this investigation it was found that a large percentage of the reward money had gone to one old man who lived by himself on the outskirts of town. The Bürgermeister and the Council went to visit the old man. "How did you manage to catch so many rats?" they asked, "You are old and slow". "Simple," he said, "Let me show you". He lead them back around his house to a field where stood an old barn. As he opened the barn doors, he revealed to the astonished Council hundreds of small wooden cages, each one holding 10 large rats. "I don't care for rats much myself", said the old man. "But since you wanted them so much, I thought I could help out a little. After all, I could use the money, and rats are so easy to breed". "Bu...bu...bu...but we didn't want more rats," stammered the Bürgermeister. "We wanted fewer". "Nonsense", said the old man. If you offer a reward for something, of course you want more of it, not less. This is just the free market in action."………………….. The Pied Piper of Hamelin A long time ago, in a small town called Hamelin in Germany,, people had a big problem. The town was full of rats. These rats were not normal; they were big and scary. They fight with dogs, killed cats, and even bit little babies. They destroy food, cut clothes, and made holes in walls. People were very unhappy because of the rats. The people didn’t know what to do, so they went to the Mayor and asked for help. The Mayor was also confused. He didn’t have any idea to get rid of the rats. Suddenly, a man wearing colorful clothes came to the town hall. He had a pipe in his hand. He said, I am the Pied Piper. If you pay me 1,000 guilders, I will take all the rats away from your town. The Town Mayor agreed to pay him the money. The Pied Piper walked into the streets and started playing music on his pipe. As soon as he started, all the rats came out of the houses and followed him. The Piper walked to the River Weser, and the rats followed him into the water. All the rats are died, and the town was free of them. After that, the Piper came back to the Mayor to get his payment. But the Mayor refused to pay the full 1,000 guilders. He only offered 500 guilders. The Piper got very angry, but he didn’t argue. Instead, he went back to the streets and played a different tune on his pipe. This time, it wasn’t the rats who followed him—it was the children of the town. The children were singing and dancing as they followed him. The Pied Piper led the children to a mountain. When they reached the top, a door opened in the mountain, and the Piper and the children went inside. The door closed, and they never came back. Only one child, who was slow and couldn’t walk fast, stayed behind and saw everything. The people of Hamelin were very sad. They realized that because the Mayor didn’t keep his promise, they lost all their children. The Pied Piper of Hamelin A long time ago, the town of  Hamelin  had a big problem with rats. The rats were everywhere. They attacked dogs, killed cats, and even bit babies. They took all the food and ruined important papers. The people didn’t know what to do. The mayor asked for help and promised a reward to anyone who could get the rats out. A man called the Pied Piper came and said he could help. He played a happy tune on his pipe, and all the rats followed him. He took them to a river, and they all jumped in. The town was finally free from the rats. When the Pied Piper asked for his reward, the mayor didn’t want to pay him. The Piper didn’t argue and quietly left. But later, he came back and played another tune. This time, all the children followed him, and they never came back.   Hamelin……….Pied Piper Hamelin used to an affluent city of Germany. The geographical setting was also charming. It was close to sea. The people living in the city were also peace loving. They had many entertaining sources within the city and they were very much sincere to their respective work. The only problem with rolling with them was the Rats living in the city with them. The rats were enormous in number and fearless. They lived in the entire nook and corner, furniture, al-mirah, and other usual and unusual places as well. The city dwellers so agitated about the troubles caused by these rats that they asked the honorable Mayor of the city to sort out a solution to get rid of this problem. So the Mayor arranged a Meeting on this problem. Representatives of all the aristocrats, peasants, traders and housewives attended the meeting. They opined different ideas to eradicate the problem. But, there was no suitable solution. However, they could not  agree to each other on this matter. Finding no other way, the mayor announced,” if anyone can solve the problem, he/ she will be rewarded with 1000 Frank.” All the people presented in the meeting stared at each other, but they did not know what to do. Suddenly, there was an attendant of Mayor, standing at the gate of Seminar Hall of the office of Mayor, with the news that there was someone standing outside. He said, “Sir, there is a man outside, who wants to meet you.” The Mayor said, “Okay, call him in.” Then the stranger was asked to attend before Mayor. The stranger entered in the Seminar Hall and said,” Hello, sir, I am the person who can release you from this problem.” The Mayor asked,” How do you know about this?” The stranger said,” It does not matter, I am pied piper, roam here and there. If you give me 1000 Frank, I can surely destroy all the rats leaving no one left.” The mayor and others stared at each other. The Mayor whispered something with his ither associates and took a decision. After a pause, the Mayor said,” Okay, I am agree with you at this disposal.” “ Please, go on and get all the rats dead.” “ After you have all the rats dead ,you will be given the promised money.” Soon, the piper came out of the Hall and brought out a Flute from his bag. He began to play the flute in a strange way. Afterward, the rats, hearing the music began to come out dancing one after another. The came out from shoes, tables, holes, books, shocks and other unusual places as well. The pied piper took all the rats and mice along with him to the sea. While playing on the flute, he jumped into the sea. The rats followed him and got drowned. Hence the tragic and troubled chapter for the dwellers of Hamelin came to an end. But who knows, what happens next? The pied piper went to the Town Hall and asked the Mayor to pay the promised money. But the Mayor denied paying all the money. He gave him only 500 Frank. He rebuked the piper and asked him to leave the city. The piper overwhelmed in grief and anger came out of the hall and decided to teach the Mayor a hard lesson and the dwellers as well.

The rats multiplied rapidly, and the people of Hamelin were distressed by their presence. They approached the Town Hall and demanded action from the Mayor, who, surrounded by his Councilors, declared a substantial reward of one thousand gold guilders to anyone who could eliminate the rats from the town. The very next day, a stranger arrived in Hamelin, sporting a hat, and approached the Mayor and his councilors, proclaiming that he could rid the town of its rat infestation for the reward offered. The Mayor eagerly accepted the Pied Piper's offer, and the Piper stepped outside.   The Pied Piper commenced playing a captivating tune, and the rats were lured to follow him. He led them to the river's edge, where he ceased playing, but the rats continued to dance into the river and were drowned. The people of Hamelin were delighted and relieved at the triumph over the rat infestation. However, when the Pied Piper demanded the promised thousand gold guilders, the Mayor reneged on his pledge, leaving the Piper humiliated and aggrieved.   Subsequently, the Piper resumed playing his pipe on the street, and all the town's children emerged from their homes, mesmerized and entranced by the music, following him. The parents were grateful that the Pied Piper was leading the children away from the river and toward the mountain. As they approached the mountain, a small door appeared on the mountainside, and the Pied Piper and all the children disappeared into it, and the door was shut so tightly that no one could discern precisely where it had been.       The Legend of the Rat Farmer A long time ago in a land far away there once was a prosperous town called Hamelin. Everything was perfect in Hamelin until the year the rats came. The rats ate up the grain, bit the townsfolk in the toes and scared the young children. Something had to be done! So the Bürgermeister and the Council met together and decided to bring in an outside consultant, Pied Piper Enterprises, LLC. That did not go well. The rats were back the very next year. So in the Spring the Bürgermeister again assembled the Council and they talked and talked and talked. Should they bring in another consultant? Should they abandon the town and move someplace else? They finally decided on a market-based approach to solving the problem. They would offer a reward, a bounty, to citizens who captured, killed and turned in rats. Turn every person in Hamelin into an exterminator. The signs soon went up all over town: "A Silver Thaler for every 10 Rats." The Bürgermeister tracked the results on a big chart on the wall of his office and the numbers looked very good. Each day more and more rats were being caught and killed. The citizens were busy at work. The rats would soon all be gone. But then one day the Bürgermeister went home, and in the doorway of his house was his wife and she was visibly disturbed, "You shall get nothing for dinner tonight! The rats have eaten all of the grain!" "How can this be?" exclaimed the Bürgermeister. "The metrics show that we're eliminating a record number of rats every day. Come with, and I will show you the chart." "Chart, schmart. I'll show you some metrics," said the Bürgermeister's wife, who then took him by the ear and lead him around the town center, and at each house they stopped and heard the same tale. The rats are still eating up the grain. They are still biting townsfolk in the toes. They are still scaring the young children. Nothing at all had improved in the quality of life in Hamelin. All that had changed was that they now had a larger pile of dead rats, and a smaller pile of silver Thalers. An inquest was held to account for the misuse of town funds. During this investigation it was found that a large percentage of the reward money had gone to one old man who lived by himself on the outskirts of town. The Bürgermeister and the Council went to visit the old man. "How did you manage to catch so many rats?" they asked, "You are old and slow". "Simple," he said, "Let me show you". He lead them back around his house to a field where stood an old barn. As he opened the barn doors, he revealed to the astonished Council hundreds of small wooden cages, each one holding 10 large rats. "I don't care for rats much myself", said the old man. "But since you wanted them so much, I thought I could help out a little. After all, I could use the money, and rats are so easy to breed". "Bu...bu...bu...but we didn't want more rats," stammered the Bürgermeister. "We wanted fewer". "Nonsense", said the old man. If you offer a reward for something, of course you want more of it, not less. This is just the free market in action."………………….. The Pied Piper of Hamelin A long time ago, in a small town called Hamelin in Germany,, people had a big problem. The town was full of rats. These rats were not normal; they were big and scary. They fight with dogs, killed cats, and even bit little babies. They destroy food, cut clothes, and made holes in walls. People were very unhappy because of the rats. The people didn’t know what to do, so they went to the Mayor and asked for help. The Mayor was also confused. He didn’t have any idea to get rid of the rats. Suddenly, a man wearing colorful clothes came to the town hall. He had a pipe in his hand. He said, I am the Pied Piper. If you pay me 1,000 guilders, I will take all the rats away from your town. The Town Mayor agreed to pay him the money. The Pied Piper walked into the streets and started playing music on his pipe. As soon as he started, all the rats came out of the houses and followed him. The Piper walked to the River Weser, and the rats followed him into the water. All the rats are died, and the town was free of them. After that, the Piper came back to the Mayor to get his payment. But the Mayor refused to pay the full 1,000 guilders. He only offered 500 guilders. The Piper got very angry, but he didn’t argue. Instead, he went back to the streets and played a different tune on his pipe. This time, it wasn’t the rats who followed him—it was the children of the town. The children were singing and dancing as they followed him. The Pied Piper led the children to a mountain. When they reached the top, a door opened in the mountain, and the Piper and the children went inside. The door closed, and they never came back. Only one child, who was slow and couldn’t walk fast, stayed behind and saw everything. The people of Hamelin were very sad. They realized that because the Mayor didn’t keep his promise, they lost all their children. The Pied Piper of Hamelin A long time ago, the town of  Hamelin  had a big problem with rats. The rats were everywhere. They attacked dogs, killed cats, and even bit babies. They took all the food and ruined important papers. The people didn’t know what to do. The mayor asked for help and promised a reward to anyone who could get the rats out. A man called the Pied Piper came and said he could help. He played a happy tune on his pipe, and all the rats followed him. He took them to a river, and they all jumped in. The town was finally free from the rats. When the Pied Piper asked for his reward, the mayor didn’t want to pay him. The Piper didn’t argue and quietly left. But later, he came back and played another tune. This time, all the children followed him, and they never came back.   Hamelin……….Pied Piper Hamelin used to an affluent city of Germany. The geographical setting was also charming. It was close to sea. The people living in the city were also peace loving. They had many entertaining sources within the city and they were very much sincere to their respective work. The only problem with rolling with them was the Rats living in the city with them. The rats were enormous in number and fearless. They lived in the entire nook and corner, furniture, al-mirah, and other usual and unusual places as well. The city dwellers so agitated about the troubles caused by these rats that they asked the honorable Mayor of the city to sort out a solution to get rid of this problem. So the Mayor arranged a Meeting on this problem. Representatives of all the aristocrats, peasants, traders and housewives attended the meeting. They opined different ideas to eradicate the problem. But, there was no suitable solution. However, they could not  agree to each other on this matter. Finding no other way, the mayor announced,” if anyone can solve the problem, he/ she will be rewarded with 1000 Frank.” All the people presented in the meeting stared at each other, but they did not know what to do. Suddenly, there was an attendant of Mayor, standing at the gate of Seminar Hall of the office of Mayor, with the news that there was someone standing outside. He said, “Sir, there is a man outside, who wants to meet you.” The Mayor said, “Okay, call him in.” Then the stranger was asked to attend before Mayor. The stranger entered in the Seminar Hall and said,” Hello, sir, I am the person who can release you from this problem.” The Mayor asked,” How do you know about this?” The stranger said,” It does not matter, I am pied piper, roam here and there. If you give me 1000 Frank, I can surely destroy all the rats leaving no one left.” The mayor and others stared at each other. The Mayor whispered something with his ither associates and took a decision. After a pause, the Mayor said,” Okay, I am agree with you at this disposal.” “ Please, go on and get all the rats dead.” “ After you have all the rats dead ,you will be given the promised money.” Soon, the piper came out of the Hall and brought out a Flute from his bag. He began to play the flute in a strange way. Afterward, the rats, hearing the music began to come out dancing one after another. The came out from shoes, tables, holes, books, shocks and other unusual places as well. The pied piper took all the rats and mice along with him to the sea. While playing on the flute, he jumped into the sea. The rats followed him and got drowned. Hence the tragic and troubled chapter for the dwellers of Hamelin came to an end. But who knows, what happens next? The pied piper went to the Town Hall and asked the Mayor to pay the promised money. But the Mayor denied paying all the money. He gave him only 500 Frank. He rebuked the piper and asked him to leave the city. The piper overwhelmed in grief and anger came out of the hall and decided to teach the Mayor a hard lesson and the dwellers as well. He the brought out another strange Flute and began to play ion it.  This time, the innocent boys and girls came out of the houses and began to follow him. There was a lame boy also following the piper. Soon the Piper crossed a river and took all the Children following him to a cave in a mountain. There was also a saying that the cave ends in nowhere. It was mysterious and nobody dared to go there. The piper went inside the cave along with the children but never came back. No one knows where about they went but the lame boy who came back finding no way and described the fact. Then there was no one to find out where the children were taken. Soon there was mourning around the city. They lost their children as a result of not giving the promised money to the mysterious stranger pied piper. The pied Piper of Hamelin It was a long time ago. There was a town in Germany called Hamelin. Hamelin was a small but beautiful town. There was a river on one side and a mountain on the other. The people of Hamelin grew crops in the fields nearby. People lived happily there. They had no worries. They had a mayor to look after their affairs. But suddenly the town was faced with a great problem. It became full of rats. The rats were very big and fierce. They fought the dogs, killed the cats and bit the babies in the cradles. They ate up the corn in the granaries. They ate up everything they annoyed. They became helpless. They tried to get rid of the problem but found no way. At last the people came to the town Hall and told the Mayor about their sufferings. The Mayor called up a meeting of his councilors. They talked about different plans. But they could not find any way to kill the rats. Just then, a tall and thin man with a long coat of many colours and a strange hat on his head entered the room. He had a pipe in his hand. “Who are you? What do you want?” the Mayor asked. “I’ a piper. You’ve a problem with rats. I can help you. I can kill the rats. “How?” they asked. “With my pipe”, he said. The Mayor asked. “How much do you want for it?” “One thousand guilders “said the piper. “We’ll give you ten thousand if you can help us to get rid of the rats,” the Mayor said. “All right, I’ll do it. But don’t forget your promise. The pied piper went to the street and took out a pipe from his pocket. Then he began to play the pipe. Soon the rats from every house of Hamelin came out tumbling. There were hundreds of thousands of them. The man went on playing hi pipe. He moved along the streets and the rats followed him. He went down to the bank to the river waser and waded into the river. And every rat that followed him drowned in the river. The piper came back to the Mayor and demanded the promised money. The mayor thought that the rats were all gone and there was no use giving so much money to the piper. He said,” that was only a joke. Take five hundred and go away.” “No, “said the piper,” I would not take less. “ he was very angry. The piper left the mayor’s office and stood in the street. He took up his pipe and began to play again. This time it was a different tune. But on hearing the tune, the children to the town began to dance. As the piper walked along the streets, they followed him singing and dancing. The piper was walking towards the mountain. As they came near the mountain, a door opened.  The piper and the children walked into the mountain and the door closed. Only one boy could not follow them because he was lame.

It became full of rats. The rats were so big and fierce that they fought the dogs, killed the cats and bit the babies in the cradles. People left no stone unturned to protect themselves and their belonging from the attack of the rats. So, they went to the Mayor and told him to do something. The Mayor of the town called a meeting of the councilors and elite persons to discuss the problem. The meeting came to a close without result. At that time, a strange person with a colorful flute in hand appeared before the meeting. He declared that he would drive the rats from the town. He demanded one thousand guilders for the job. The Mayor accepted his demand. Then the strange man went out on the road. He started playing his flute. Hearing the sound of his flute, the rats jumped out to the roads in thousands. The man started walking and the rats followed him. He suddenly stopped beside the river. The rats jumped into the current of the river and all were drowned. He went to the Mayor and demanded the promised money. But the Mayor refused to give him a thousand guilders. Becoming angry, the pied piper stepped into the street and started playing another tune.

Ans.     Slow & Steady Wins The Race Long ago there lived a hare in a forest. A tortoise also lived nearby. The hare was proud of his speed. He always teased the tortoise. One day, as the hare was heading home, he encountered the tortoise also making his way back. The tortoise was moving peacefully, not bothering the hare at all. Suddenly, the hare stopped him and mocked, "You slowpoke! I feel sorry for how slow you are." Hearing this, the tortoise responded calmly, "Even though you're as fast as the wind, I can still beat you in a race." The hare, thinking this was impossible, agreed to the challenge. They decided that the fox would choose the course and set the finish line. On the appointed day, they started the race together. The tortoise moved steadily without stopping, maintaining a slow but consistent pace. The hare, confident in his natural speed, didn't take the race seriously. He lay down by the side of the road and fell fast asleep. When he finally woke up, he ran as fast as he could, but it was too late. He saw the tortoise had already reached the finish line and was peacefully resting after her long journey. The hare learned a valuable lesson: slow and steady wins the race. The hare and the tortoise Once upon a time, in a dense forest, there resided a haughty hare, who was immensely proud of his remarkable speed. He always boasted about it and mocked the tortoise, his neighbor, for being sluggish. The hare often belittled the tortoise by saying, “You have legs just like mine, but I am certain that you cannot run as fast as I do, or perhaps you cannot run at all.” Listening to this constant taunt, the tortoise got irked and responded by saying, “You can surely run fast, no doubt about that, but I think you can talk even faster than you can run.” Feeling challenged, the hare readily agreed to run a race with the tortoise. However, the hare was confident that the tortoise would not stand a chance against his swift speed. In a tone of ridicule, the hare said, “Friend tortoise, you are merely wasting your time and mine as well. You know my speed, and it would be as easy as picking some soft grass from the field to beat you in the race.” Undeterred, the tortoise responded by saying, “Indeed, I am aware of your speed, but there is one thing that I know, which you do not. And that’s precisely what I am going to take advantage of.”   After this, they both approached a wise fox and asked him to officiate their race. The fox agreed and laid down some rules for the race, and set the destination as well. Finally, the race commenced, and the hare began at a breakneck pace, leaving the tortoise far behind. The hare was supremely confident of his victory and stopped midway to rest, thinking to himself, “What a fool I am! I have run so fast for nothing. Why did I exert myself in the hot sun while that slow-moving tortoise is nowhere in sight? I should start running again when he is about to catch me, and until then, I can rest for a while.” As the hare was exhausted, he dozed off. On the other hand, the tortoise ran continuously, as fast as he could, without any pause. On his way, he stumbled upon the sleeping hare and silently moved ahead. When the hare woke up, he realized that the tortoise had already crossed the finish line, and he had lost the race. Feeling ashamed and embarrassed, the hare conceded defeat. The tortoise won the race, and he felt extremely content and proud of his accomplishment. From that day on, the hare learned that deeds matter more than words and that being overconfident could lead to one's downfall.       Moral :   A HARE AND A TORTOISE    One day a hare met a tortoise on the way. He laughed at the tortoise and said, “You have as many legs as I have. But I am sure; you cannot run as fast as I can. Perhaps, you cannot run at all.” The tortoise became very angry. He answered quietly. “You can run quite fast, no doubt. But I think, you can talk even faster than you can run.” “However, I agree to run a five mile race with you.” At this the hare was much amused. So she said, “come along, let’s fixed a date for the race.”   They fixed a date. A fox came to see the race. The tortoise and the hare came to the starting point; the race began. The hare began to run very fast. She jumped and jumped. She ran a mile in a few minutes. Soon she found the tortoise far behind her. Then she stopped. She said to herself, “ What’s the use of going so fast? Perhaps, the tortoise has gone only a few yards by this time. So, I can very well have a good sleep before he comes up.” Saying so, the hare went to sleep in a bush. In the meantime, the tortoise walked on and on. He did not stop anywhere. When he came to bush, he saw the lazy hare lying fast asleep. He smiled and quietly passed by her. Many hours passed. The hare woke up. She saw that it was already evening. She immediately got on her feet. She began to run very fast. But alas! The tortoise had already gone far. She came in sight of the goal. But the tortoise was already crossing the winning post.

But I am sure you can’t run as fast as I can. Perhaps, you can’t run at all.” At this, the tortoise became very angry and said, “You can run fast, no doubt. Run at all. But I think you can talk even faster than you can run.” Then the tortoise made a proposal to run a race with the hare. The hare gladly accepted his proposal and said, “Listen friend tortoise, you are simply going to waste your time my time as well. You have a good idea about my speed. To beat you to me is as easy as taking some tender grass from the filed”. The tortoise replied. “I know your speed but there is still something that I know but you don’t know. I am going to capitalize on that.” However, they both went to a fox and asked him to be the judge of their race is over. “However, they both went to a fox and asked him to be the judge of their contest.

The hare smiled and said to himself, “I am really a fool; I have run so fast for nothing. The hare smiled and said to himself, “I am really a fool. I have run so fast in the hot sun with the slow speed tortoise? I will start again when the tortoise will about to catch me and before that I can take rest for a while. “The hare took rest and at one point he fell asleep. On the contrary, the tortoise continued running as fast he could. On the way he found the hare sleeping and silently ran past him. While the hare as sleeping, the tortoise came near the destination. In the meantime, the hare woke up and started running very fast. But he was too late. When he reached near the destination, he found the tortoise sitting on the last line i.e. the goal.

Soon Galileo made more powerful telescopes with which he made many amazing discoveries about the sun, the moon, and stars. গ্যালিলিও 1564 সালের 15 ফেব্রুয়ারি ইতালির পিসায় জন্মগ্রহণ করেন। তার বাবা ছিলেন একজন দক্ষ সঙ্গীতজ্ঞ এবং গণিতবিদ। ছেলেকে কাপড়ের ব্যবসায়ী বানাতে চেয়েছিলেন। কিন্তু গ্যালিলিওর ব্যবসার প্রতি কোনো রুচি ছিল না। তিনি তার বাবাকে পিসা ইউনিভার্সিটিতে মেডিসিন এবং ফিলোসফি পড়তে দিতে রাজি করান। তিনি খুব অল্প বয়সেই বিজ্ঞানের জন্য একটি অস্বাভাবিক প্রতিভা দেখিয়েছিলেন। মাত্র সতেরো বছর বয়সে, তিনি একটি গুরুত্বপূর্ণ বৈজ্ঞানিক আইন আবিষ্কার করেছিলেন - পেন্ডুলামের আইন। 1609 সালে, গ্যালিলিও চশমা প্রস্তুতকারক হ্যান্স লিপারশেয়ের উদ্ভাবিত একটি টেলিস্কোপের কথা শুনেছিলেন। যেদিন তিনি ডাচ টেলিস্কোপের কথা শুনেছিলেন সেদিনই তিনি কাজ শুরু করেছিলেন এবং নিজের একটি তৈরি করেছিলেন। শীঘ্রই গ্যালিলিও আরও শক্তিশালী টেলিস্কোপ তৈরি করেছিলেন যার সাহায্যে তিনি সূর্য, চাঁদ এবং তারা সম্পর্কে অনেক আশ্চর্যজনক আবিষ্কার করেছিলেন। Galileo Put the following parts of the story in correct order to make the whole story. I. At the time, the Christian church thought that any idea that the Earth was not the center of the universe went against the Bible. II. Galileo became convinced that the Earth and all other planets orbit the sun. III. In 1609, Galileo made a small telescope. IV. Galileo himself played the organ and the flute, but it was his contribution to science that made him famous. V. A book published by the astronomer Copernicus in 1543, setting out such a theory, was officially banned by the church. VI. He also observed that the planet Venus has phases like the moon. VII. Galileo was born in 1564 in Pisa, Italy. VIII.

Honesty Never Goes Unrewarded: Once there lived a farmer   In a small, rural village lived a poor but worthy farmer who, with the modest income from his meager few acres of land, managed to support himself, his wife and their seven children. As he walked through his fields one day, he pondered his circumstances, realizing that as his children grew older and required more, their family expenses continued to increase. In an effort to brainstorm how he could earn additional funds, he happened upon a purse lying on the ground before him.   Initially, the farmer considered that someone must have lost the purse, and he could not keep it for himself. Nevertheless, he picked it up and opened it, revealing a substantial sum of money inside. Rushing home to share his discovery with his wife, she greedily suggested they keep the money for themselves and use it to better their family's situation. However, the farmer's moral compass pointed in a different direction. He recognized that the money was not rightfully theirs and insisted that they find the owner of the lost purse.   After a few days, the farmer successfully located the rightful owner and promptly returned the lost item, along with its contents. The owner, a very wealthy man, was deeply moved by the farmer's honesty and integrity. Impressed by the farmer's character, the wealthy man appointed him as his caretaker.   Overjoyed by this newfound opportunity, the farmer began his new job with a sense of pride and honor. His honesty had not only earned him the admiration of others, but it had also paved the way for a brighter future. The farmer learned that doing what is right is often rewarded in ways beyond measure, and his unwavering moral compass had led him to a newfound success and prosperity.  সততার পুরস্কার এক সময়ের কথা, এক গরিব কিন্তু সৎ কৃষক একটি গ্রামে বাস করত। তার ছোট্ট একটি জমি ছিল, এবং তিনি যা আয় করতেন, তা দিয়ে তার স্ত্রী ও সাত সন্তানকে কোনোভাবে চালিয়ে নিচ্ছিলেন। জীবন ছিল খুবই কঠিন, আর তিনি প্রায়ই চিন্তা করতেন কীভাবে তার পরিবারের জন্য আরও টাকার ব্যবস্থা করবেন, কারণ তার সন্তানরা বড় হচ্ছিল এবং তাদের চাহিদাও বাড়ছিল। একদিন, মাঠে হাঁটতে হাঁটতে তিনি মাটিতে একটি থলে পড়ে থাকতে দেখলেন। থলেটি তুলে নিয়ে খুলে দেখেন, ভেতরে অনেক টাকা! তিনি তাড়াতাড়ি বাড়ি ফিরে তার স্ত্রীকে টাকা ভর্তি থলেটি দেখালেন। তার স্ত্রী খুশি হয়ে বললেন, “এই টাকা আমরা রেখে দিই, আমাদের সমস্যাগুলো সমাধান হয়ে যাবে।” কিন্তু কৃষক তা মানলেন না। তিনি বললেন, এই টাকা আমাদের নয়, এটি যার হারিয়েছে, তাকে ফিরিয়ে দিতে হবে। কয়েকদিন পর, কৃষক জানতে পারলেন যে থলেটি গ্রামের এক ধনী মানুষের। কৃষক যখন টাকাটা ফিরিয়ে দিলেন, ধনী ব্যক্তি খুবই খুশি হলেন এবং কৃষকের সততায় মুগ্ধ হলেন। কৃতজ্ঞতা জানাতে তিনি কৃষককে তার দেখাশোনার চাকরি দিলেন। কৃষক সেই কাজটি গ্রহণ করলেন, এবং কিছুদিনের মধ্যেই তার পরিবার সুখে দিন কাটাতে লাগল। এই গল্পটি আমাদের শেখায় যে সততা সবসময় ভালো ফল বয়ে আনে। যদিও কৃষক ছিলেন গরিব, তার সততাই তাকে সুখ এবং সফলতা এনে দিল। Ad Ad

After some days, the fruit seller asked the grocer to return his balance and weights. The grocer was very greedy and dishonest. He said, “I am very sorry. I cannot give back those. The mice have eaten up your scales and weights. The lame excuse of the dishonest grocer made the fruitseller very angry. But he controlled his temper and wanted to teach him a good lesson. So, he hit upon a plan. Some days later, the fruit seller went to the grocer and said, “Would you please send your son with me? I am going to town to bring some goods. The grocer allowed his son to go with the seller. The next day the fruit seller came back home from the town alone. The son of the grocer was not with him. So, the grocer asked the fruit seller, “Where is my son?” The seller replied, “A crow has picked your son away.” The grocer got furious hearing this surprising answer. He shouted loudly and said, “How a tiny crow can bring a grown up boy?” The fruit seller replied with a gentle smile, “Just like the way the mouse can eat up the iron scales and weights.” Hearing this, the grocer realized his fault. He returned the balance and weights and asked for his pardon. At last the fruitseller gave back the son to the grocer. In this way, the fruit seller teaches the grocer a good lesson. Moral of the story: Don’t be dishonest and greedy and never try to cheat with other. The Grocer and the Fruit Seller One day, a grocer borrowed a balance and some weights from a fruit seller. After a few days, the fruit seller asked the grocer to return his balance and weights. The grocer, however, was very greedy and dishonest. He said, "I am so sorry, but I can't give them back. The mice have eaten your scales and weights." The fruit seller became very angry upon hearing this excuse, but he didn't show his anger. Instead, he decided to teach the grocer a lesson. He thought of a clever plan. A few days later, the fruit seller visited the grocer and said, "Could you please send your son with me? I am going to the town to buy some goods and I could use his help." The grocer agreed and allowed his son to go with the fruit seller. The next day, the fruit seller returned from the town alone. The grocer immediately asked, "Where is my son?" The fruit seller calmly replied, "A crow carried your son away." The grocer was shocked and shouted loudly, "How can a tiny crow carry a grown boy?" The fruit seller smiled gently and said, "Just like how a small mouse can eat up the big scales and weights." The grocer was stunned. He finally understood the point the fruit seller was making. His excuse about the mice eating the scales and weights was just as unbelievable as the idea of a crow carrying away a boy. The grocer felt ashamed of his dishonesty. Realizing his mistake, he returned the balance and weights to the fruit seller and asked for his forgiveness. In the end, the fruit seller forgave the grocer, gave back the grocer’s son, and taught him an important lesson about honesty. The grocer learned that excuses can sometimes be hard to believe, and he promised to never be dishonest again. Ad Ad

Honesty Never Goes Unrewarded: Once there lived a farmer   In a small, rural village lived a poor but worthy farmer who, with the modest income from his meager few acres of land, managed to support himself, his wife and their seven children. As he walked through his fields one day, he pondered his circumstances, realizing that as his children grew older and required more, their family expenses continued to increase. In an effort to brainstorm how he could earn additional funds, he happened upon a purse lying on the ground before him.   Initially, the farmer considered that someone must have lost the purse, and he could not keep it for himself. Nevertheless, he picked it up and opened it, revealing a substantial sum of money inside. Rushing home to share his discovery with his wife, she greedily suggested they keep the money for themselves and use it to better their family's situation. However, the farmer's moral compass pointed in a different direction. He recognized that the money was not rightfully theirs and insisted that they find the owner of the lost purse.   After a few days, the farmer successfully located the rightful owner and promptly returned the lost item, along with its contents. The owner, a very wealthy man, was deeply moved by the farmer's honesty and integrity.

After some days, the fruit seller asked the grocer to return his balance and weights. The grocer was very greedy and dishonest. He said, “I am very sorry. I cannot give back those. The mice have eaten up your scales and weights. The lame excuse of the dishonest grocer made the fruitseller very angry. But he controlled his temper and wanted to teach him a good lesson. So, he hit upon a plan. Some days later, the fruit seller went to the grocer and said, “Would you please send your son with me? I am going to town to bring some goods. The grocer allowed his son to go with the seller. The next day the fruit seller came back home from the town alone. The son of the grocer was not with him. So, the grocer asked the fruit seller, “Where is my son?” The seller replied, “A crow has picked your son away.” The grocer got furious hearing this surprising answer. He shouted loudly and said, “How a tiny crow can bring a grown up boy?” The fruit seller replied with a gentle smile, “Just like the way the mouse can eat up the iron scales and weights.” Hearing this, the grocer realized his fault. He returned the balance and weights and asked for his pardon. At last the fruitseller gave back the son to the grocer. In this way, the fruit seller teaches the grocer a good lesson. Moral of the story: Don’t be dishonest and greedy and never try to cheat with other. The Grocer and the Fruit Seller One day, a grocer borrowed a balance and some weights from a fruit seller. After a few days, the fruit seller asked the grocer to return his balance and weights. The grocer, however, was very greedy and dishonest. He said, "I am so sorry, but I can't give them back. The mice have eaten your scales and weights." The fruit seller became very angry upon hearing this excuse, but he didn't show his anger. Instead, he decided to teach the grocer a lesson. He thought of a clever plan. A few days later, the fruit seller visited the grocer and said, "Could you please send your son with me? I am going to the town to buy some goods and I could use his help." The grocer agreed and allowed his son to go with the fruit seller. The next day, the fruit seller returned from the town alone. The grocer immediately asked, "Where is my son?" The fruit seller calmly replied, "A crow carried your son away." The grocer was shocked and shouted loudly, "How can a tiny crow carry a grown boy?" The fruit seller smiled gently and said, "Just like how a small mouse can eat up the big scales and weights." The grocer was stunned. He finally understood the point the fruit seller was making. His excuse about the mice eating the scales and weights was just as unbelievable as the idea of a crow carrying away a boy. The grocer felt ashamed of his dishonesty. Realizing his mistake, he returned the balance and weights to the fruit seller and asked for his forgiveness. In the end, the fruit seller forgave the grocer, gave back the grocer’s son, and taught him an important lesson about honesty. The grocer learned that excuses can sometimes be hard to believe, and he promised to never be dishonest again. Ad Ad

As he walked through his fields one day, he pondered his circumstances, realizing that as his children grew older and required more, their family expenses continued to increase. In an effort to brainstorm how he could earn additional funds, he happened upon a purse lying on the ground before him.   Initially, the farmer considered that someone must have lost the purse, and he could not keep it for himself. Nevertheless, he picked it up and opened it, revealing a substantial sum of money inside. Rushing home to share his discovery with his wife, she greedily suggested they keep the money for themselves and use it to better their family's situation. However, the farmer's moral compass pointed in a different direction. He recognized that the money was not rightfully theirs and insisted that they find the owner of the lost purse.   After a few days, the farmer successfully located the rightful owner and promptly returned the lost item, along with its contents.

Ans.     Tit For Tat An English poet was staying in Italy for the benefit of his health. During his stay he received an unpaid letter from one of his friends in England. The poet had to pay double postage to take delivery of the letter. But it contained nothing but the sentence "I am well". The poet was greatly irritated by the trivial news he received, especially considering he had to pay double postage for it. He found it rather amusing but decided it was time to teach his friend a valuable lesson. With this in mind, he devised a clever plan. He obtained a hefty stone and carefully packaged it in an elegant box. Inside, he wrapped the stone with a piece of paper containing some words. Then, he sent the box to his friend as an unpaid parcel, with the instruction "Carriage to be paid on delivery." When the parcel arrived at his friend's doorstep, the friend assumed it must contain something valuable due to the hefty charge for carriage. Without hesitation, he gladly paid the fee, including the double postage. With eager anticipation, he opened the box, only to find an ordinary stone inside. His heart sank as he realized the deception. Attached to the stone was a piece of paper with a message that read, "Learning that you are well, this heavy stone has rolled out from my heart." It dawned on the friend that this was nothing but a form of revenge, a classic case of "tit for tat." Through this clever prank, the poet effectively conveyed his message to his friend, teaching him the consequence of sending trivial news at a high cost. It served as a reminder that actions have consequences, and sometimes, a taste of one's own medicine is the most effective lesson of all. Tit For Tat একজন ইংরেজ কবি তার স্বাস্থ্যের জন্য ইতালিতে অবস্থান করছিলেন। ইংল্যান্ডে থাকাকালীন তিনি তার এক বন্ধুর কাছ থেকে একটি অবৈতনিক চিঠি পেয়েছিলেন। চিঠিটি পৌঁছে দেওয়ার জন্য কবিকে দ্বিগুণ ডাক খরচ দিতে হয়েছিল। কিন্তু তাতে "আমি ভালো আছি" বাক্যাংশ ছাড়া আর কিছুই ছিল না। কবি তুচ্ছ খবর পেয়ে খুবই বিরক্ত হয়েছিলেন, বিশেষ করে ভেবেছিলেন যে এর জন্য তাকে দ্বিগুণ ডাক খরচ দিতে হবে। তিনি এটি বেশ মজাদার বলে মনে করেছিলেন কিন্তু সিদ্ধান্ত নিয়েছিলেন যে এখনই তার বন্ধুকে একটি মূল্যবান শিক্ষা দেওয়ার সময়। এই বিষয়টি মাথায় রেখে, তিনি একটি চতুর পরিকল্পনা করেছিলেন। তিনি একটি মোটা পাথর পেয়েছিলেন এবং সাবধানে এটি একটি মার্জিত বাক্সে প্যাক করেছিলেন। ভিতরে, তিনি পাথরটিকে কিছু শব্দ সম্বলিত একটি কাগজ দিয়ে মুড়েছিলেন। তারপর, তিনি বাক্সটি তার বন্ধুর কাছে অবৈতনিক পার্সেল হিসাবে পাঠিয়েছিলেন, যেখানে লেখা ছিল "ডেলিভারির সময় গাড়ি দিতে হবে।" যখন পার্সেলটি তার বন্ধুর দোরগোড়ায় পৌঁছায়, বন্ধুটি ধরে নেয় যে পরিবহনের জন্য মোটা চার্জের কারণে এতে মূল্যবান কিছু থাকতে হবে। দ্বিধা ছাড়াই, তিনি আনন্দের সাথে দ্বিগুণ ডাক খরচ সহ ফি পরিশোধ করেছিলেন। অধীর আগ্রহে সে বাক্সটি খুলল, কিন্তু ভেতরে একটা সাধারণ পাথর দেখতে পেল। প্রতারণা বুঝতে পেরে তার হৃদয় ভেঙে গেল। পাথরের সাথে একটি কাগজের টুকরো লাগানো ছিল, যাতে লেখা ছিল, "তুমি ভালো আছো জেনে, এই ভারী পাথরটি আমার হৃদয় থেকে বেরিয়ে এসেছে।" বন্ধুর মনে পড়ল যে এটি প্রতিশোধের এক রূপ, "অপরাধের বিনিময়ে" একটি ক্লাসিক উদাহরণ। এই চতুর কৌতুকের মাধ্যমে, কবি কার্যকরভাবে তার বন্ধুর কাছে তার বার্তা পৌঁছে দিয়েছিলেন, তাকে উচ্চ মূল্যে তুচ্ছ খবর পাঠানোর পরিণতি শিখিয়েছিলেন। এটি একটি স্মরণ করিয়ে দেয় যে কর্মের পরিণতি হয়, এবং কখনও কখনও, নিজের ওষুধের স্বাদই সবচেয়ে কার্যকর শিক্ষা। Ad Ad

Honesty Never Goes Unrewarded: Once there lived a farmer   In a small, rural village lived a poor but worthy farmer who, with the modest income from his meager few acres of land, managed to support himself, his wife and their seven children. As he walked through his fields one day, he pondered his circumstances, realizing that as his children grew older and required more, their family expenses continued to increase. In an effort to brainstorm how he could earn additional funds, he happened upon a purse lying on the ground before him.   Initially, the farmer considered that someone must have lost the purse, and he could not keep it for himself. Nevertheless, he picked it up and opened it, revealing a substantial sum of money inside. Rushing home to share his discovery with his wife, she greedily suggested they keep the money for themselves and use it to better their family's situation. However, the farmer's moral compass pointed in a different direction. He recognized that the money was not rightfully theirs and insisted that they find the owner of the lost purse.   After a few days, the farmer successfully located the rightful owner and promptly returned the lost item, along with its contents. The owner, a very wealthy man, was deeply moved by the farmer's honesty and integrity. Impressed by the farmer's character, the wealthy man appointed him as his caretaker.   Overjoyed by this newfound opportunity, the farmer began his new job with a sense of pride and honor. His honesty had not only earned him the admiration of others, but it had also paved the way for a brighter future. The farmer learned that doing what is right is often rewarded in ways beyond measure, and his unwavering moral compass had led him to a newfound success and prosperity.  সততার পুরস্কার এক সময়ের কথা, এক গরিব কিন্তু সৎ কৃষক একটি গ্রামে বাস করত। তার ছোট্ট একটি জমি ছিল, এবং তিনি যা আয় করতেন, তা দিয়ে তার স্ত্রী ও সাত সন্তানকে কোনোভাবে চালিয়ে নিচ্ছিলেন। জীবন ছিল খুবই কঠিন, আর তিনি প্রায়ই চিন্তা করতেন কীভাবে তার পরিবারের জন্য আরও টাকার ব্যবস্থা করবেন, কারণ তার সন্তানরা বড় হচ্ছিল এবং তাদের চাহিদাও বাড়ছিল। একদিন, মাঠে হাঁটতে হাঁটতে তিনি মাটিতে একটি থলে পড়ে থাকতে দেখলেন। থলেটি তুলে নিয়ে খুলে দেখেন, ভেতরে অনেক টাকা! তিনি তাড়াতাড়ি বাড়ি ফিরে তার স্ত্রীকে টাকা ভর্তি থলেটি দেখালেন। তার স্ত্রী খুশি হয়ে বললেন, “এই টাকা আমরা রেখে দিই, আমাদের সমস্যাগুলো সমাধান হয়ে যাবে।” কিন্তু কৃষক তা মানলেন না। তিনি বললেন, এই টাকা আমাদের নয়, এটি যার হারিয়েছে, তাকে ফিরিয়ে দিতে হবে। কয়েকদিন পর, কৃষক জানতে পারলেন যে থলেটি গ্রামের এক ধনী মানুষের। কৃষক যখন টাকাটা ফিরিয়ে দিলেন, ধনী ব্যক্তি খুবই খুশি হলেন এবং কৃষকের সততায় মুগ্ধ হলেন। কৃতজ্ঞতা জানাতে তিনি কৃষককে তার দেখাশোনার চাকরি দিলেন। কৃষক সেই কাজটি গ্রহণ করলেন, এবং কিছুদিনের মধ্যেই তার পরিবার সুখে দিন কাটাতে লাগল। এই গল্পটি আমাদের শেখায় যে সততা সবসময় ভালো ফল বয়ে আনে। যদিও কৃষক ছিলেন গরিব, তার সততাই তাকে সুখ এবং সফলতা এনে দিল। Ad Ad

He wanted to find an honest man to collect taxes. Many people applied for the job, but the Sultan found it difficult to identify the most honest person among them. Confused, he sought the advice of his wise counselor. The counselor suggested a clever plan to test their honesty.   The Sultan invited all the applicants to the palace. On the way to the hall room, he had some coins scattered along the passage. The applicants walked through the passage to reach the hall. When they arrived, the Sultan greeted them and gave an unexpected command. “Before I choose the tax collector,” he said, “I want you all to dance for me.”   At first, the applicants were surprised and hesitated. Then, one by one, they all refused to dance. The Sultan noticed their unease. Their faces were pale, and they avoided eye contact. The reason soon became clear — every one of them, except one man, had taken the coins from the passage. They feared that if they danced, the coins in their pockets would jingle and reveal their dishonesty.   The only man who stepped forward to dance had taken no coins. He danced confidently and without hesitation because he had nothing to hide. The Sultan watched him closely and smiled.   After the test, the Sultan declared, “This man is the most honest among you all. He will be the tax collector.” The others were ashamed, and some tried to explain, but the Sultan silenced them. “I placed the coins on the passage to test your integrity,” he said. “An honest man does not take what is not his. This man passed the test, and his honesty will serve the kingdom well.”   The chosen man performed his duties with fairness and integrity, and the Sultan was pleased with his decision. This story teaches us that honesty is always rewarded and that true integrity can withstand any test. একজন সৎ ব্যক্তির খোঁজ একদা এক দেশে একজন সুলতান থাকতেন। তিনি কর আদায়ের জন্য একজন সৎ ব্যক্তি খুঁজে পেতে চেয়েছিলেন। অনেকেই এই চাকরির জন্য আবেদন করেছিলেন, কিন্তু সুলতান তাদের মধ্যে সবচেয়ে সৎ ব্যক্তিকে শনাক্ত করতে অসুবিধা বোধ করেছিলেন। বিভ্রান্ত হয়ে তিনি তার বিজ্ঞ পরামর্শদাতার পরামর্শ নেন। পরামর্শদাতা তাদের সততা পরীক্ষা করার জন্য একটি চতুর পরিকল্পনার পরামর্শ দেন। সুলতান সমস্ত আবেদনকারীদের প্রাসাদে আমন্ত্রণ জানান। হলরুমে যাওয়ার পথে, পথের ধারে কিছু মুদ্রা ছড়িয়ে ছিটিয়ে ছিল। আবেদনকারীরা হলরুমে পৌঁছানোর জন্য পথ দিয়ে হেঁটে যাচ্ছিলেন। তারা পৌঁছানোর পর, সুলতান তাদের অভ্যর্থনা জানান এবং একটি অপ্রত্যাশিত আদেশ দেন। "আমি কর আদায়কারীকে বেছে নেওয়ার আগে," তিনি বলেন, "আমি চাই তোমরা সবাই আমার জন্য নাচো।" প্রথমে, আবেদনকারীরা অবাক হয়েছিলেন এবং দ্বিধাগ্রস্ত হয়েছিলেন। তারপর, একে একে, তারা সকলেই নাচতে অস্বীকৃতি জানান। সুলতান তাদের অস্বস্তি লক্ষ্য করেন। তাদের মুখ ফ্যাকাশে হয়ে গিয়েছিল এবং তারা চোখের যোগাযোগ এড়িয়ে চলেছিল। শীঘ্রই কারণটি স্পষ্ট হয়ে ওঠে - একজন ব্যক্তি ছাড়া তাদের প্রত্যেকেই পথ থেকে মুদ্রাগুলো নিয়ে গিয়েছিল। তারা ভয় পেত যে যদি তারা নাচতে থাকে, তাহলে তাদের পকেটের মুদ্রাগুলো ঝনঝন করে তাদের অসততা প্রকাশ করবে। যে ব্যক্তি নাচতে এগিয়ে এসেছিল সে কোনও মুদ্রা নেয়নি। সে আত্মবিশ্বাসের সাথে এবং দ্বিধা ছাড়াই নাচছিল কারণ তার কাছে লুকানোর কিছু ছিল না। সুলতান তাকে ঘনিষ্ঠভাবে দেখে হাসলেন। পরীক্ষার পর, সুলতান ঘোষণা করলেন, "এই ব্যক্তি তোমাদের সকলের মধ্যে সবচেয়ে সৎ। সে হবে কর আদায়কারী।" অন্যরা লজ্জিত হলেন, এবং কেউ কেউ ব্যাখ্যা করার চেষ্টা করলেন, কিন্তু সুলতান তাদের চুপ করিয়ে দিলেন। "আমি তোমাদের সততা পরীক্ষা করার জন্য প্যাসেজের উপর মুদ্রাগুলো রেখেছিলাম," তিনি বললেন। "একজন সৎ ব্যক্তি যা তার নয় তা গ্রহণ করে না। এই ব্যক্তি পরীক্ষায় উত্তীর্ণ হয়েছে, এবং তার সততা রাজ্যের জন্য ভালোভাবে কাজ করবে।" নির্বাচিত ব্যক্তি ন্যায্যতা এবং সততার সাথে তার দায়িত্ব পালন করেছিলেন এবং সুলতান তার সিদ্ধান্তে খুশি হয়েছিলেন। এই গল্পটি আমাদের শেখায় যে সততা সর্বদা পুরস্কৃত হয় এবং প্রকৃত সততা যেকোনো পরীক্ষায় টিকে থাকতে পারে। Ad Ad

One day while walking through the jungle, he fell into a trap and lost his tail. Without a tail, he looked very strange and he felt ashamed. He also felt very unhappy and sad. But the fox was very cunning. He was thinking and thinking. At last, an idea crossed his mind. He invited all his neighboring foxes to come to a meeting under a tree. All of them arrived there in time and took their seats, Then the fox without a tail said, "My dear friends, listen to me, please. I've discovered a new thing. It's that our tails are completely useless. They look very odd and ugly. Also, they are always dirty. So, we all should cut off our tails, shouldn't we?" All the foxes listened to the cunning fox eagerly. Most of them agreed to cut off their tails. They were convinced by the cunning fox that they would look nice if they cut off their tails. So, they were almost ready to move on to the right action. I However, in the meeting, there was also an old and wise fox. He had been listening to the fox without a tail. He said to him, "My friend, your plan is very nice but very evil. Actually, you want us to cut off our own tails because you've lost your one." Hearing this, all other foxes could understand the evil plan of the cunning fox. They all shouted at him loudly and chased him. Guessing the unfavorable situation, the cunning fox ran away quickly and saved his life.   A Fox Without a Tail: Once there was a clever fox    The Fox Without a Tail Once there lived a very clever fox in a jungle. The fox that had been caught in a trap, succeeded at last, after much painful tugging, in getting away. But he had to leave his beautiful bushy tail behind him. For a long time he kept away from the other foxes, for he knew well enough that they would all make fun of him and crack jokes and laugh behind his back. But it was hard for him to live alone, and at last he thought of a plan that would perhaps help him out of his trouble. He called a meeting of all the foxes, saying that he had something of great importance to tell the tribe. When they were all gathered together, the fox without a tail got up and made a long speech about those foxes who had come to harm because of their tails. This one had been caught by hounds when his tail had become entangled in the hedge. That one had not been able to run fast enough because of the weight of his brush. Besides, it was well known, he said, that men hunt foxes simply for their tails, which they cut off as prizes of the hunt. With such proof of the danger and uselessness of having a tail, said Master Fox, he would advise every fox to cut it off, if he valued life and safety. When he had finished talking, an old fox arose, and said, smiling: "Master fox, kindly turn around for a moment, and you shall have your answer." When the poor fox without a tail turned around, there arose such a storm of jeers and hooting, that he saw how useless it was to try any longer to persuade the Foxes to part with their tails. Answer-2   In the heart of the jungle, resided a highly intelligent fox, whose wit was revered by all. One fateful day, while traversing through the wilderness, the fox unwittingly fell prey to a trap, losing its majestic tail in the process. The fox, crestfallen and ashamed of its appearance, was determined to come up with a plan to remedy its situation.   Seizing the opportunity, the cunning fox summoned all other foxes in the jungle to a meeting, where it revealed a purported discovery of great significance. In a resounding address, the fox asserted that the tail was nothing more than an encumbrance that hindered their agility, and suggested that they cut off their tails. Impressed by the speech, many of the foxes were enthralled by the idea and eagerly expressed their readiness to follow suit.   However, the wise elder fox, upon hearing the proposal, rose in fury and denounced the idea, warning the others not to heed the advice of the rogue fox, whose tail was lost in a trap, and who merely sought to camouflage its loss. The other foxes, incensed by the revelation, turned on the wily fox, who fled for its life in terror.   Thus, the crafty fox's plan was foiled, and the other foxes were saved from succumbing to its deceptive schemes. THE FOX WITHOUT A TAIL    Once upon a time there lived a very clever fox. He lived in a jungle in a very hot country just like Bangladesh. One day, when Mr. Fox was walking through the jungle, he fell into a trap. He landed on his tail. When he got out of the trap, he left his tail behind. Without his tail Mr. Fox looked very strange and he felt very sad and thought and thought, then Mr. Fox had a good idea. “ I’m going to ask all the foxes to come to a meeting in the jungle,” he said to himself. When the foxes knew about the meeting, they came quickly. “Mr. Fox is very clever,” they all said. “What’s he going to tell us?” When Mr. Fox saw all foxes there, he felt very important and pleased. “ Now listen, my friends,” he said, “ Why have I asked to come here? It’s because I’ve made a very important discovery. Do you want to know about it?”  The foxes felt very excited. “Yes, we do,” they all replied. “Then listen to me,” Mr. Fox said. After listening his idea, some of the foxes said  “what a good idea!” “When we cut off our tails, we’ll look beautiful.” Mr. Fox was very pleased when they said that “you’ll look nice and clean too.” He said, “Look, here’s a knife. I used it myself. Now you can use it too.” There was a wise old fox in the meeting. He heard all that the fox told them. Suddenly he stood up and said, “ You didn’t use a knife; you fell into a trap and lost your tail. Now you want us to lose our tails. Look, my brothers, does Mr. Fox look beautiful without his tail?”  “He looks strange,” said one fox.  “And foolish.” Said another. “When you cut off your tail, you’ll look strange and foolish too,” said the Wise Old Fox. “In fact it’s a foolish idea because you’ll look just like Mr. Fox.” Mr. Fox felt very ashamed and ran away. “Mr. Fox is clever, but not wise,” said the Wise Old Fox.

The Farmer and the Noble Man /   Humanitarian Duty Regardless of Rank : One day, a farmer was taking some sacks      Once upon a time, a farmer was travelling towards a mill with sacks of wheat, when his horse stumbled and one of the sacks fell to the ground. The sack was far too heavy for the farmer to lift, and he was left in a quandary as there was no one around to lend him a hand. Suddenly, a horseman appeared on the horizon, riding towards him. The farmer's heart leaped with joy when he realised that it was a nobleman, who lived in a magnificent house atop the hill. However, the farmer felt it was inappropriate to approach someone of such a high rank for help, and he hesitated to call out for aid.   The farmer was stuck in a difficult situation until the nobleman, who was a gentleman with a compassionate heart, stopped his horse in front of the farmer and alighted from it. He approached the poor man, and inquired in a gentle voice, "What seems to be troubling you? You appear to be quite upset." The farmer, being too proud to ask for help from a person of such high standing, tried to shrug off the nobleman's offer, replying, "It's nothing, sir. Please, continue on your way. I do not want to trouble you." However, the nobleman would not be dissuaded, and repeated his offer to assist the farmer.   The nobleman then spotted the fallen sack and exclaimed, "Oh! Now I understand what has happened. Let me help you to set it right. Give me a hand." The farmer, compelled by the nobleman's kindness, accepted his offer and together they hefted the sack back onto the horse's back. The farmer felt grateful and wanted to express his appreciation to the nobleman. However, the nobleman merely saw it as a humanitarian duty and advised the farmer to do the same for others in their time of need.   This encounter between the farmer and the nobleman reminds us that kindness and compassion should not be limited by one's rank or social status. The nobleman's altruism and willingness to help a stranger in need, regardless of his station in life, serves as a powerful example for all of us to follow.

Please you go your own way. I don't want to trouble you." The noble man said, "You must tell me what has happened. Do you need any help?" Then he looked around and saw the sack lying on the ground. The noble man then said, "Oh! Now I understand. I'll help you to get the sack in its place. Give me a hand." The farmer had to give in to the insistence of the nobleman. He held one end of the sack and asked the farmer to hold the other end. Together they lifted the sack and placed it once again on the horse's back. The farmer took off his cap and wanted to offer thanks to the nobleman. But the nobleman took it as a humanitarian duty and suggested him to do the same in other's distress. পদমর্যাদা নির্বিশেষে মানবিক কর্তব্য একদিন একজন কৃষক একটি মিলের কাছে গমের বস্তা নিয়ে যাচ্ছিলেন। মিলটি কয়েক কিলোমিটার দূরে ছিল। পথে ঘোড়াটি হোঁচট খেয়ে পড়ে গেল এবং একটি বস্তা মাটিতে পড়ে গেল। কৃষকের পক্ষে এটি তোলা খুব ভারী ছিল এবং তাকে সাহায্য করার জন্য আশেপাশে কেউ ছিল না। সে হতাশ হয়ে পড়ল। ইতিমধ্যে সে একজন ঘোড়সওয়ারকে তার দিকে আসতে দেখল। তার হৃদয় আনন্দে লাফিয়ে উঠল। আরোহী যত কাছে আসছিল, কৃষক তাকে চিনতে পারল। তিনি ছিলেন সেই সম্ভ্রান্ত ব্যক্তি যিনি পাহাড়ের চূড়ায় একটি বিশাল বাড়িতে থাকতেন। কৃষক ভাবল যে এত উচ্চ পদস্থ ব্যক্তির কাছ থেকে সাহায্য চাওয়া তার পক্ষে ঠিক নয়। তাই, সে আরোহীর কাছে যাওয়ার সাহস করল না। দরিদ্র লোকটি সম্পূর্ণ হতাশ হয়ে পড়েছিল। সম্ভ্রান্ত ব্যক্তি একজন ভদ্রলোক এবং অত্যন্ত উদার ছিলেন। তিনি কৃষকের সামনে থামলেন এবং ঘোড়া থেকে নেমে পড়লেন। তিনি স্বেচ্ছায় কৃষককে সাহায্য করার জন্য এগিয়ে এলেন। তিনি দরিদ্র কৃষককে মৃদু স্বরে জিজ্ঞাসা করলেন, "কি হয়েছে, প্রিয়? তুমি খুব বিচলিত দেখাচ্ছে।" কৃষক বলল, "কিছু না, মহাশয়। আপনি নিজের পথে চলে যান। আমি আপনাকে ঝামেলা করতে চাই না।" সম্ভ্রান্ত ব্যক্তি বললেন, "আপনাকে আমাকে বলতে হবে কী হয়েছে। আপনার কি কোনও সাহায্যের প্রয়োজন?" তারপর তিনি চারপাশে তাকিয়ে দেখলেন বস্তাটি মাটিতে পড়ে আছে। সম্ভ্রান্ত ব্যক্তি বললেন, "ওহ! এখন আমি বুঝতে পারছি। আমি আপনাকে বস্তাটি তার জায়গায় আনতে সাহায্য করব। আমাকে সাহায্য করুন।" কৃষককে সম্ভ্রান্ত ব্যক্তির জেদের কাছে নতি স্বীকার করতে হয়েছিল। তিনি বস্তার এক প্রান্ত ধরে কৃষককে অন্য প্রান্তটি ধরতে বললেন। তারা একসাথে বস্তাটি তুলে আবার ঘোড়ার পিঠে রাখলেন। কৃষক তার টুপিটি খুলে সম্ভ্রান্ত ব্যক্তিকে ধন্যবাদ জানাতে চাইলেন। কিন্তু সম্ভ্রান্ত ব্যক্তি এটিকে মানবিক কর্তব্য হিসেবে গ্রহণ করলেন এবং অন্যের কষ্টে একই কাজ করার পরামর্শ দিলেন। Ad Ad
