There was a
big pond in a certain village.It was filled to brim with water.Many dogs took
their shelter in the pond.Some of them put their heads out of the water and
coaked loudly.One day some naughty boys were playing by the side of the
pond.When they heard the frogs croaking,some of them started to throw stones
into the pond for fun.These stones hurt some of the frogs.All the frogs at once
went down into water.But the boys did not leave the place.They remained
standing there with stones in their hands.They went on pelting the frogs with
stones when they raised their heads above the water.So an old frog raised his
head out of the water and said, “Dear boys,don’t throw stones at us,please.”
“We’re playing,” said the boys, laughing. “I understand that,”said the old
frog. “But the stones you throw hit and hurt us.What’s play to you is death to
us.”

Exercise is good for health
Once there
was an old king.He did not like physical labour.As a result he grew bulky and
could not move from one place to another.He called in a doctor.The doctor was
very clever and from a close observation he could learn from the fact that
idleness is the main reason behind the obesity of the king.He told the king
that he was in great danger and therefore it is essential to get immediate
treatment.Hearing the king turned pale.He repeatedly requested the doctor to
give him medicine of his illness.He then gave the king a club and told him to
brandish the club in the morning and in the evening for at least one hour.The
king had no way before him except doing so.So he started brandishing the club
regularly.Every time he became so tired but did not stop his job.Sweet trickled
down his body and at one point he used to lie strait on the earth.After a month
the doctor came to visit his patient.He found the king fresh and healthy.He
told him that physical labour is the best medicine to keep fit.The
king,however,thanked the doctor for prescribing the right medicine.

As I was

stopped me and asked me the way to “Nur munjil” I was very surprised because
that is my house. I told him to come with me and follow me .He came with me and
I Knocked at the door of my house .My mother opened the door and she could
recognize the stranger .This very man was nobody but one of my paternal uncles
.He joined the liberation war in 1971 .Then he expressed everything in detail
what had happened after the liberation war. With an inquisitive mind I was
following his speeches. He fought against enemies with great courage. Suddenly
he got a severe hit at his head and he lost his previous memories. The days
after that incident were a bleakest picture of his life .He turned into a
complete insane .He was roaming here and there with a strange mad look in his
eyes. A few days earlier in a certain moment he could regain his memory .Now
the moment of ‘Nur Monjil’ has become obvious to him .After a long period
he has come back here and has got his near and dear ones. I was listening to
him with a rapt attention.I felt a profound respect for this enlightened man
.He deserves a special room in the very core of my heart where I would
like to adorn him with a sense of pride and honour.

Jamal is an
SSC examinee. He is not attentive to his lessons especially to English because
he is very weak in english.Moreover, he is lazy. So, his preparation in English
is not good. A month ago before his examination he managed a short suggestion
of probable questions on English. On the day of examination of English he
started for the examination hall a bit earlier. He entered the examination hall
with a trembling heart. After the examination hall he saw most examinees were
in the examination hall. Within a short time the invigilator entered the
examination hall. He gave the answer script to all the students. After that Jamal
got the question paper and read it thoroughly at first. But alas! he forgot all
the answer that he learnt by cramming.moreover,he found the questions uncommon.
He could not write English off hand. He felt terribly sorry realizing his own
folly and left the hall with a heavy heart. He now decided to read more
attentively and regularly.

receive your majesty where you have been sending me.At this the king turned
pale. ‘Drive this wretch away and let him not come again’shouted the king.
