প্রদত্ত প্রম্পট (Official Beginning Prompt):

“Sheikh Saadi was a great poet in Iran. He used to lead a very simple life. Once on his way to the court of the king of Iran, he took shelter in a nobleman’s house for a night. He was then in a very simple dress. The nobleman could not recognize him…”

পূর্ণাঙ্গ সৃজনশীল সমাপ্তি ও গল্প (Complete Coherent Story):

The nobleman treated Sheikh Saadi very coldly and served him ordinary food in a casual manner. Saadi ate quietly and left the following morning without uttering any complaint.

A few months later, Sheikh Saadi was invited to the court once again. This time, he was adorned in a magnificent royal robe made of rich silk and wore precious ornaments. On his journey, night fell, and he again sought shelter at the very same nobleman’s house.

Recognizing the regal attire, the nobleman welcomed him with extravagant hospitality, bowed with utmost deference, and escorted him to an opulent dining hall. A grand feast featuring rich pilau, roast meat, and delicious sweets was served before him.

When the meal began, Sheikh Saadi did not eat a morsel. Instead, he took spoonfuls of the delicious dishes and began stuffing them into the wide pockets of his rich robe, saying, “Eat, my fine dress! Eat, rich coat! This sumptuous feast is prepared for you, not for me.”

The nobleman was dumbfounded and asked in utter bewilderment, “Respected Sir, why are you feeding your clothes instead of eating yourself?”

Sheikh Saadi replied with calm dignity, “A few months ago, I visited your house in humble, worn clothes, and you served me coarse scraps. Today, I am the exact same human being, yet you treat me like royalty solely because of my luxurious garments. It is evident that your honor is meant for my dress, not for me.”

The nobleman realized his foolishness, hung his head in profound shame, and begged Sheikh Saadi’s forgiveness. From that day on, he resolved never to judge any person by outward appearance.

পূর্ণাঙ্গ সৃজনশীল সমাপ্তি ও গল্প (Complete Coherent Story):

The wise god granted King Midas his coveted wish. Overjoyed, Midas went out into his royal garden to test his new power. He touched an oak branch, and it instantly turned into solid gold. He touched a stone, a rose, and a palace pillar—each transformed into pure, gleaming gold. Midas felt like the most powerful monarch alive.

Soon, he felt hungry and ordered a lavish feast. But the moment he lifted a piece of bread to his mouth, it turned into hard metal. When he tried to drink a goblet of cool water, it turned into liquid gold that choked his throat. Panic gripped his heart as he realized he could neither eat nor drink.

Just then, his beloved little daughter ran into the room to comfort her distressed father. Without thinking, Midas embraced her tenderly. To his horror, the warm, smiling child turned into a cold, lifeless statue of solid gold before his very eyes.

Midas fell to his knees in agony, weeping bitter tears. He realized that all the gold in the universe could not replace the laughter of his darling daughter or a single drop of cool water. He raised his hands toward the heavens and pleaded, “O Lord, take away this dreadful golden touch! Save my daughter!”

Moved by his sincere repentance, the god instructed him to wash in the waters of the River Pactolus and sprinkle that water over everything he had turned to gold. Midas hurried to the river, bathed his hands, and sprinkled the sacred water over his daughter. To his immense joy, the rosy cheeks of his little girl returned to life. Midas renounced his greed and lived in humble gratitude ever after.

The crow felt exhausted and parched, but it refused to surrender to despair. It paused and began to think deeply. Looking around the courtyard, it noticed a heap of small pebbles lying near a stone wall. A brilliant idea flashed through its sharp mind.

The crow flew to the pile, picked up a pebble in its beak, and dropped it into the jar. Plop! Then it picked another, and another, and dropped them in one by one. With each stone dropped, the water at the bottom began to rise slowly toward the neck of the jar.

The crow worked patiently without tiring. After dropping dozens of pebbles, the cool water finally reached the very brim of the pitcher. Delighted, the clever bird quenched its burning thirst with sweet, fresh water and flew away triumphantly into the blue sky.

“Once there lived two friends in a certain village. They were very intimate to each other. They promised not to be departed from each other even in the face of danger. Once they were walking through a jungle. It was deep and full of wild beasts. No sooner had they crossed a little distance than they saw a bear coming…”

পূর্ণাঙ্গ সৃজনশীল সমাপ্তি ও গল্প (Complete Coherent Story):

The sudden appearance of the ferocious bear terrified both friends. One of the friends was agile and knew how to climb trees. Thinking solely of his own safety, he quickly leaped toward a tall tree and scrambled up into the high branches, leaving his companion helpless on the ground below.

The second friend could not climb trees. However, he kept his presence of mind and remembered a piece of jungle lore: bears never touch or eat a dead human body. Without losing a second, he threw himself flat upon the grassy earth, closed his eyes, and held his breath, pretending to be lifeless.

The heavy bear lumbered over to him. It sniffed around his ears, nostrils, and chest. The young man lay perfectly motionless like a corpse. Sensing no breath or heartbeat, the wild animal assumed he was dead and quietly wandered back into the thick forest.

After the beast was out of sight, the friend up in the tree slid down to the ground. Chuckling nervously, he asked, “My dear friend, I saw the bear whispering something closely into your ear! What wise advice did the beast impart to you?”

The friend stood up, brushed off the dust from his clothes, and looked him straight in the eye. “The bear gave me a very precious piece of advice,” he answered firmly. “It told me never to trust a selfish friend who abandons his companion at the first sign of danger.” With these words, he walked away alone, ending their false friendship.

“One day a crow stole a piece of meat. It flew away and sat on a branch of a tree to eat it peacefully. Suddenly a hungry fox was passing by the tree and noticed the meat in the crow’s beak…”

পূর্ণাঙ্গ সৃজনশীল সমাপ্তি ও গল্প (Complete Coherent Story):

The hungry fox’s mouth watered at the sight of the juicy meat. Being cunning, he knew he could not climb the tall tree to take it by force. Therefore, he decided to employ sweet flattery to outwit the proud bird.

The fox walked politely beneath the branch, looked up with an expression of great admiration, and said, “Good morning, most graceful Queen of birds! How radiant your feathers look today! Surely, a bird with such dazzling plumage and regal beauty must possess an equally sweet and enchanting singing voice. Won’t you sing a melodious song for your humble admirer?”

The foolish crow was overwhelmed with vanity. No one had ever praised its appearance or called its harsh voice melodious before. Blinded by pride and eager to prove its musical talent, the crow opened its beak wide and let out a loud, grating “Caw! Caw!”

The instant its beak opened, the precious piece of meat slipped from its grasp and tumbled to the ground. The clever fox leaped forward, snatched the meat in his jaws, and swallowed it greedily. Looking up with a mocking grin, the fox said, “Thank you for the breakfast, friend! You have feathers and vanity, but alas, you lack common sense!” The ashamed crow learned that flatterers always seek personal gain.

The poor ant was struggling desperately against the strong current and was about to drown. Seeing the helpless insect in distress, the kind dove plucked a broad green leaf from a branch and dropped it gently into the water right beside the ant.

The ant climbed onto the floating leaf, dried its drenched wings, and floated safely to the dry bank of the stream. Looking up toward the tree, the ant silently thanked the merciful bird for saving its life and vowed to return the kindness if ever given an opportunity.

A few days later, a cruel hunter entered the woods carrying a bow and arrow. He spotted the lovely dove resting peacefully on a high branch and began to take careful aim at her breast. The dove was completely unaware of the deadly peril lurking below.

Fortunately, the little ant noticed the hunter drawing his bowstring. Without hesitating, the ant crawled rapidly onto the hunter’s bare foot and bit him with all its might.

“Ouch!” the hunter yelled in sudden pain, dropping his bow and dropping his aim. The sharp noise alerted the dove instantly. She fluttered her wings and flew away safely into the distant sky. Thus, the tiny ant repaid the noble deed of the dove.

There is no tiger here!” The villagers felt deeply annoyed and warned him sternly never to play such dangerous pranks again. But the reckless boy repeated the same trick a few days later, laughing at their wasted effort.

One afternoon, a real royal Bengal tiger emerged silently from the thick forest. Its eyes burned like fiery coals, and it growled menacingly as it crept toward the cattle.

Terrified out of his wits, the cowboy scrambled up a tree and screamed at the top of his voice, “Help! Help! Tiger! Real tiger! Please come, villagers!”

The villagers heard his distant cries, but this time they shook their heads and smiled cynically. “That wicked boy is trying to deceive us again,” they muttered to one another. “We will not waste our energy running to his rescue.”

No one came to help. The ferocious tiger attacked the herd, killed several cows, and finally dragged the weeping boy down from the low branches and killed him on the spot. His habitual falsehood cost him his life.

The entire assembly burst into loud applause. The mice cheered enthusiastically and praised the young mouse as a genius strategist.

Amidst the joyful commotion, an old, grey-whiskered mouse who had been sitting quietly in a corner stood up slowly. He raised his paw for silence and said gently, “My dear young friend, your idea is truly ingenious and would certainly protect us all. But allow me to ask just one simple question: Who among us is brave enough to go up to the fierce cat and tie the bell around her neck?”

Robert Bruce was a famous king. Once his kingdom was invaded by his enemies. He fought courageously but lost the battle. In order to save his life from the opponent attack, he fled away from his kingdom and took shelter in a remote cave. The king was always in a pensive mood for the loss of his throne and the misery of his subjects.

Six times he had mobilized his loyal soldiers and launched fierce battles against the invaders, but each time his army was beaten back with heavy casualties. He felt utterly despondent and thought of abandoning the struggle altogether.

While lying in the dark cave, a small movement caught his eye. He noticed a tiny spider trying to swing from one rocky ledge to another in order to weave its web. The distance was wide, and each time the spider swung forward, it slipped and fell down.

Bruce watched intently. The spider failed on its first attempt, second attempt, and third attempt. It tried four, five, and six times—failing each time just like Bruce had failed in his six battles.

“Surely the little creature will give up now,” Bruce thought.

To his astonishment, the spider did not lose courage. Gathering all its strength, it made a seventh leap with supreme determination. This time, the silk thread caught the opposite rock, and the spider successfully completed its web.

A wave of fresh hope surged through Bruce’s heart. He exclaimed, “If a tiny spider can succeed after six failures, why should I, the King of Scotland, surrender?”

Bruce immediately left the cave, rallied his loyal countrymen, and attacked the enemy forces with renewed vigor. Inspired by his fearless leadership, the Scottish army achieved a glorious victory and liberated their motherland.

Bruce learned that perseverance and unyielding courage can overcome the greatest adversities in life.

The fairy took pity on him. She dove beneath the surface and soon returned holding an axe crafted entirely of sparkling gold. “Is this splendid axe yours?” she inquired. The woodcutter looked at it, shook his head, and replied honestly, “No, kind fairy, this is not my axe. I am a poor man; I cannot claim an axe of gold.”

The fairy dove a second time and brought up an axe made of polished silver. “Then this silver axe must surely belong to you?” she asked. The woodcutter replied with humility, “No, fairy, this silver axe does not belong to me either.”

For the third time, she plunged into the deep stream and emerged holding the plain, rusty iron axe. The woodcutter’s eyes shone with pure joy. “Yes! That is my axe! Thank you, kind fairy!” he cried out in gratitude.

Deeply impressed by his upright conscience and incorruptible honesty, the fairy smiled warmly. “I am overjoyed by your truthfulness,” she proclaimed. “Take your iron axe, and accept both the golden and silver axes as rewards for your noble integrity.” The honest woodcutter returned home happily and lived in comfort for the rest of his days.

Then the old farmer smiled gently and instructed, “Now, untie the rope and hand one single stick to each brother.”

The sons did so. “Now break your sticks,” the father commanded. With minimal effort, each son snapped his individual stick in two with a simple crack.

The wise father looked tenderly into their eyes and explained, “My dear sons, learn this vital truth from these sticks. As long as you remain united in brotherhood and stand by one another, no enemy on earth can cause you harm.

পূর্ণাঙ্গ সৃজনশীল সমাপ্তি ও গল্প (Complete Coherent Story):

Rafiq carried the heavy leather bag inside his modest tin-roofed shack. His heart beat wildly as he unzipped it and found stacks of currency notes totaling two lakh taka alongside dazzling gold ornaments. At that very moment, his young daughter was burning with fever and coughing in the corner, with no money for proper medicine.

For a split second, a tempting thought whispered in his mind that this fortune could cure his child and change his destiny forever. But Rafiq’s pious conscience immediately rejected the dishonest impulse. “This wealth does not belong to me,” he whispered firmly. “I will not feed my family with stolen sustenance.”

Searching through the pockets of the bag, he discovered a business visiting card bearing a doctor’s name and residential address in Dhanmondi. Early the next morning, Rafiq paddled his rickshaw across the city and knocked on the gates of the gentleman’s residence.

The owner, a retired government officer, was weeping with anxiety, believing his life’s savings were lost forever. When Rafiq handed over the bag untouched, the gentleman and his wife were stunned beyond words.

Tears streaming down his face, the gentleman embraced the humble rickshaw puller. He rewarded Rafiq with fifty thousand taka, took full responsibility for his daughter’s medical treatment in a specialized hospital, and bought him an auto-rickshaw to secure his family’s livelihood. Rafiq’s uncompromising integrity proved that honesty is the true crown of human dignity.

“Once two cats found a piece of bread. They could not agree how to divide it equally. So they began to quarrel. While they were quarrelling, a sly monkey came there holding a pair of scales…”

পূর্ণাঙ্গ সৃজনশীল সমাপ্তি ও গল্প (Complete Coherent Story):

Unable to settle the division of the stolen bread, the two foolish cats agreed to accept the sly monkey as their impartial judge. The monkey brought out a pair of brass scales and broke the bread into two pieces, intentionally making one piece noticeably larger than the other.

He placed the pieces on the opposite pans. Naturally, the heavier side tipped the balance downward. “Ah, this piece is heavier,” observed the monkey with an air of grave concern. “Let me bite off a little to make them equal.”

He took a greedy bite from the larger piece and chewed it deliberately. But now, that side became lighter than the other! “Dear me, now the second piece is heavier,” said the monkey, biting off a chunk from the other half.

The process repeated itself again and again. The two cats watched with growing alarm as their loaf of bread shrank with every bite into tiny crumbs.

Finally, the cats pleaded, “Sir Judge, please stop! We are satisfied with whatever small portions remain. Give them back to us.”

The monkey laughed mockingly, “I have wasted my precious time and legal expertise to settle your dispute. The remaining crumbs are my rightful judicial fee!” With that, he popped the last pieces into his mouth and scampered up a tree, leaving the two foolish cats hungry and regretful.

পূর্ণাঙ্গ সৃজনশীল সমাপ্তি ও গল্প (Complete Coherent Story):

The tiny mouse had pleaded for its life, saying, “O King of the jungle, spare my humble life! Someday, I may be able to repay your mercy.” The mighty lion had laughed heartily at the ridiculous idea that a little rodent could ever help the monarch of beasts, but he generously lifted his paw and let it go free.

A few months later, the lion was roaming the forest when he stepped into a hunter’s snare. Thick, sturdy hemp ropes snapped shut around him, pulling him up against a tree trunk. The lion roared in furious rage, thrashing with all his tremendous power, but the heavy ropes only tightened around his limbs. Exhausted, he let out deep roars of despair.

The little mouse recognized the roar of its benefactor from afar. It scurried swiftly through the bushes and found the trapped lion in agony. “Do not fear, noble King,” squeaked the mouse. “I will set you free!”

Using its razor-sharp teeth, the mouse began gnawing diligently at the thick knots. Thread by thread, strand by strand, it severed the heavy cords. Within half an hour, the entire net fell apart, and the lion stepped out into freedom.

The majestic lion looked down at his tiny savior with profound gratitude. He learned that no creature is too small to be valuable, and true kindness is never wasted.

Shravan Kumar gently rested the shoulder sling carrying his blind parents beneath the cool shade of a tree in the forest of Ayodhya. Hearing their faint whispers of parched thirst, he took an earthen pot and walked quietly to the bank of the Sarayu River.

As he plunged the pot beneath the surface, the water filled it with a distinct gurgling sound: “Ghar… ghar…”

Nearby, King Dasharatha of Ayodhya was hunting in the dense forest. The king possessed the unique skill of shooting arrows guided solely by sound (Shabdabhedi Bana). Mistaking the gurgling noise for a wild elephant or deer drinking water in the dark, the king released a deadly hunting arrow.

The arrow pierced Shravan Kumar’s chest with fatal precision. A agonizing cry of human distress echoed through the woods: “Ah! My poor parents! Who will give them water now?”

Horrified, King Dasharatha rushed through the bushes and found the dying youth bathed in blood. Overwhelmed with remorse, the king knelt beside him weeping. Shravan Kumar looked up with fading eyes and whispered, “O King, I do not grieve for my own life. But my aged, blind parents are waiting under yonder tree, dying of thirst. Please take this water to them before you tell them of my death.”

With those selfless words on his lips, Shravan Kumar breathed his last. His supreme filial love has remained an eternal symbol of devotion throughout the ages.

পূর্ণাঙ্গ সৃজনশীল সমাপ্তি ও গল্প (Complete Coherent Story):

The caravan of merchants had not traveled far across the lonely desert when a fierce gang of heavily armed robbers ambushed them. The bandits brandished swords, beat the travelers, and plundered all their merchandise, gold, and baggage.

One of the robbers approached young Abdul Quader, who was standing quietly by his camel. Seeing the boy in simple clothes, the bandit asked casually, “Hey boy, do you have anything of value with you?”

Young Abdul Quader replied calmly and fearlessly, “Yes, I have forty gold dinars.”

The robber laughed, thinking the boy was joking, and walked away. Soon, a second robber asked the same question, and Abdul Quader gave the identical reply. Perplexed, the bandits brought the truthful boy before their ruthless gang leader.

The chief glared down and barked, “Is it true that you possess gold coins?”

Abdul Quader unbuttoned his coat and pointed to the inner lining, where forty gleaming dinars were sewn securely. The chief was astonished. “Why did you reveal your hidden treasure when no one would ever have searched your humble coat?”

Abdul Quader replied with serene conviction, “When leaving home, my beloved mother made me promise never to tell a lie, no matter the danger. How could I disobey my mother and commit a sin before Almighty Allah for the sake of mere gold?”

The boy’s words struck the hardened robber chief like a bolt of lightning. Tears flowed down his rugged cheeks. “Alas!” the chief cried out. “A young child remains so steadfast in his promise to his mother, while I have spent my entire life violating the laws of my Creator!”

Overcome with remorse, the chief fell at the boy’s feet, repented sincerely, returned every item of stolen wealth to the merchants, and disbanded his criminal gang to lead a righteous life.

পূর্ণাঙ্গ সৃজনশীল সমাপ্তি ও গল্প (Complete Coherent Story):

Realizing that his touch brought death to everything he loved, King Midas spent the darkest night of his life weeping beside the golden statue of his daughter Marigold. The cold glimmer of the gold mocked his helplessness. He felt the gnawing pangs of starvation and the dry torment of dehydration, but dared not touch any morsel.

When morning dawned, the god Dionysus reappeared in the palace hall. Midas flung himself upon the floor, clutching the god’s feet. “I am cured of my madness!” he cried out in broken sobs. “Take all my kingdom, take my crown, strip me of every ounce of gold, but give me back my living, breathing daughter!”

The god smiled compassionately, seeing that the king’s heart had been thoroughly cleansed of the poison of greed. He directed him to the sacred spring of Pactolus in the mountains.

Midas ran barefoot up the rocky trails, reached the source, and submerged his head into the rushing waters. A visible golden essence washed away from his fingertips into the river sands, leaving the waters permanently laced with gold dust.

He filled an earthen jar with the river water and raced back to the palace. With trembling hands, he sprinkled the drops over Marigold. Instantly, the golden stiffness melted away, the warm flush of life returned to her cheeks, and she opened her eyes, embracing her father with tears of joy. Midas discarded all golden decorations from his life and lived in joyful simplicity.

As the miller and his son walked beside the donkey, a group of village women laughed, “Look at those fools! Walking on foot when they have a sturdy donkey to ride!” Hearing this, the miller placed his young son on the donkey’s back while he walked alongside.

A mile down the road, some elderly men criticized, “What a disrespectful youth! Riding comfortably while his poor, aged father trudges in the dust!” Ashamed, the boy dismounted, and the miller climbed onto the animal’s back.

Further ahead, a group of travelers cried out, “Look at that cruel father! Lounging on the donkey while his little boy can barely keep up!” Wanting to please them, the miller pulled his son up behind him so both rode together.

Near the town gate, a townsman shouted indignantly, “What heartless cruelty! Overloading that poor, exhausted beast! You two are better suited to carry the donkey than have it carry you!”

Perplexed and desperate to satisfy public opinion, the father and son tied the donkey’s legs to a long pole and raised it onto their shoulders. As they carried the struggling animal across a wooden bridge, the crowd burst into roars of mocking laughter.

Frightened by the commotion, the donkey kicked violently, broke the ropes, fell over the railing into the deep river, and drowned. The miller and his son returned home empty-handed, learning the bitter lesson that compromising one’s own judgment to satisfy idle gossip leads to total disaster.

The blind man smiled with serene calmness, set down his heavy pitcher for a moment, and replied softly: “My dear young friend, it is true that this burning lamp cannot give sight to my blind eyes. But I carry it not for myself, but for thoughtless and careless people like you. In this pitch-black night, you might not notice a blind man walking in the shadows, and in your carelessness, you might collide with me, break my earthen pitcher, and spill my precious water.”

পূর্ণাঙ্গ সৃজনশীল সমাপ্তি ও গল্প (Complete Coherent Story):

Seven-year-old Benjamin returned home whistling with triumphant delight. However, when his older brothers and sisters saw the cheap toy, they asked him how much money he had paid for it.

When Benjamin proudly confessed that he had handed over every single copper penny in his pockets, they burst into loud laughter. They explained that the simple whistle was worth only a fraction of a penny and pointed out all the wonderful books, candies, and useful tools he could have bought with the rest of his coins.

Benjamin felt so mortified that he burst into tears of humiliation. The thought of his foolish purchase caused him far more sorrow than the whistle ever brought him joy.

However, Benjamin Franklin never forgot that childhood lesson. Throughout his illustrious career as a statesman, scientist, and philosopher, whenever he observed people sacrificing their health for fleeting pleasure, accumulating unnecessary luxuries, or compromising their honor for cheap political fame, he would say to himself: “Alas, that man is paying far too much for his whistle!” The lesson taught him prudent stewardship and wise judgment for life.

পূর্ণাঙ্গ সৃজনশীল সমাপ্তি ও গল্প (Complete Coherent Story):

Six times King Robert Bruce had marshaled his loyal troops against the mighty army of the English king, and six times his forces had been crushed. Exiled, hunted, and broken in spirit, Bruce lay in a damp, isolated cave, questioning whether freedom was truly achievable.

His gaze fell upon a tiny spider attempting to cast its silk thread across a wide fissure in the rocky ceiling to weave its web. The tiny creature swung forward with all its energy, but fell short and tumbled down. It climbed back up and tried a second time—only to fail again.

Bruce watched with mounting fascination. Three, four, five, six times the persistent spider leaped into empty air, and six times it slipped and fell—mirroring Bruce’s own six heartbreaking military defeats.

“Surely the creature will give up in despair,” Bruce whispered.

Instead, the tiny spider rested for a moment, gathered all its remaining vitality, and sprang forward for the seventh time. With supreme tenacity, the silk thread caught the opposite ledge, anchored firmly, and the spider began weaving its web in triumph.

A surge of electrifying determination swept through Bruce’s soul. “If a tiny, fragile insect can conquer failure on its seventh attempt, shall a King of Scotland surrender?” he cried aloud.

Bruce emerged from the cave, rallied the clans of Scotland, and met the English army at the historic Battle of Bannockburn. Inspired by their king’s indomitable spirit, the Scottish warriors won a decisive victory and established their nation’s independence.

The poor cobbler took the heavy bag containing a hundred shiny gold coins home and hid it under the floorboards beneath his bed. But that very night, a strange transformation overcame his peaceful life.

Every rustle of the wind outside sounded like a burglar attempting to break into his hut. He tossed and turned in agony, unable to sleep for fear of being robbed. The following morning, he was too suspicious to sing his cheerful songs, fearing his neighbors would guess he had hidden treasure. Day by day, his cheerful smile vanished, replaced by anxiety, suspicion, and dark circles under his eyes.

After a week of sleepless misery, the cobbler could bear the burden no longer. He dug up the bag of gold coins and rushed straight back to the rich banker’s mansion.

Placing the bag on the mahogany desk, the cobbler said with deep relief: “Respected Sir, take back your hundred gold coins! I was poor, but I was happy, healthy, and slept like a king. Your gold brought me sleepless nights and constant fear. Keep your fortune, and give me back my carefree songs and sweet, tranquil sleep!” The cobbler walked out singing, having realized that true wealth resides in a peaceful conscience.

A little later, the scholar asked, “Do you know anything about geology or the ancient history of nations?” The boatman shook his head in ignorance. “Then half of your life is completely wasted!” said the scholar with disdain.

Suddenly, dark storm clouds engulfed the sky. Fierce gales whipped across the river, generating towering waves that violently tossed the small wooden boat. Within moments, a giant swell struck the vessel, cracking its wooden hull. Water rushed in rapidly, and the boat began to capsize in the middle of the turbulent river.

The boatman stripped off his shirt and turned to the trembling scholar, whose face was pale with terror. “Sir!” shouted the boatman above the roar of the tempest. “Do you know how to swim?”

“No! No! I never learned to swim! Please save me!” cried the helpless scholar.

The boatman dived into the surging water, shouting back: “Then, respected scholar, your entire life is lost!” Practical survival skills proved far more valuable than academic arrogance.

Soon, harsh winter arrived. Bitter frost covered the meadows, freezing snow buried every plant, and an icy wind swept through the leafless forest. The grasshopper found himself shivering with cold and starving with hunger. He searched desperately, but could not find a single leaf or grain.

Perishing from exhaustion, he crawled to the warm ant colony and knocked on the door, begging for a few crumbs to save his life.

An ant peered out from the cozy burrow and asked, “What were you doing during the long, bountiful months of summer when food was abundant?”

“I was too busy singing and enjoying the music,” admitted the weeping grasshopper.

“Well,” the ant replied sternly, “since you sang and danced all summer, you may go and dance the winter away!” and shut the door. The grasshopper learned too late that foresight and hard work are the only guarantees against ruin.

When the professor inspected the phone and found everything intact, he was moved to tears by the young girl’s uncompromising integrity.

Shafi: The biggest advantage is flexibility and safety. Students can attend lectures from the comfort of their homes, saving valuable commuting time and transport expenses.

Nafi: That’s true. Moreover, recorded lectures allow students to review difficult topics multiple times before exams.

Shafi: Exactly. But we must also acknowledge its serious drawbacks. What challenges do you face?

Nafi: Poor internet connectivity and high data costs in rural areas create a digital divide. Many poor students cannot afford expensive smartphones.

Shafi: Furthermore, continuous staring at screens causes eye strain, headaches, and physical lethargy among students.

Nafi: Also, the real interactive environment and discipline of a physical classroom cannot be entirely replaced by a virtual screen.

Shafi: I completely agree with you. A blended approach combining physical classes with digital resources is ideal for our education system.

Nafi: Well said, Shafi. Thank you for sharing such balanced thoughts.

Rashed: Do you read English newspapers every single day?

Fahim: Yes, I do. Reading newspapers has become a daily habit for me.

Rashed: Why do you attach so much importance to reading newspapers? Isn’t our textbook syllabus enough?

Fahim: Textbooks provide theoretical knowledge, but newspapers provide practical and current knowledge of the entire globe.

Rashed: How does it help a secondary school student specifically?

Fahim: It keeps us informed about international politics, scientific breakthroughs, sports, commerce, and national policies.

Rashed: Does it also assist in learning English language skills?

Fahim: Immensely! Reading standard articles enriches our vocabulary, exposes us to modern idioms, and improves our sentence construction.

Tanvir: Wa Alaikum Assalam. Yes, Fahad, it states that smoking kills thousands of citizens in Bangladesh every single month.

Fahad: It is heartbreaking to see so many young teenagers taking up smoking out of peer pressure or curiosity.

Tanvir: Absolutely. They fail to realize that cigarette smoke contains over four thousand toxic chemicals, including lethal nicotine, carbon monoxide, and tar.

Fahad: What fatal health hazards does smoking cause to human organs?

Tanvir: Smoking directly damages the lungs, causing lung cancer, chronic bronchitis, and emphysema. It also increases the risk of heart attacks and brain strokes tenfold.

Fahad: What about passive smoking? Non-smokers suffer just as severely when exposed to secondhand smoke in public places.

Tanvir: Exactly! Pregnant women, infants, and elderly people are victimized without having ever touched a cigarette.

Fahad: Don’t you think the government should strictly enforce a nationwide ban on public smoking and tobacco advertisements?

Tanvir: Definitely! Sale of cigarettes near educational institutions must be outlawed with heavy fines, and massive public awareness campaigns must be launched.

Fahad: Furthermore, high taxation should be imposed on tobacco products to discourage young buyers.

Tahmid: Because trees are our greatest life-savers. Without trees, human existence on Earth would be entirely impossible.

Sakib: Could you elaborate on how trees maintain our ecological balance?

Tahmid: Trees absorb poisonous carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and release pure oxygen, which we breathe every second.

Sakib: They also provide us with food, timber, and medicinal herbs, don’t they?

Tahmid: Yes! Beyond that, trees prevent soil erosion, shield our coastal belt from deadly cyclones, and induce rainfall to prevent droughts.

Tahmid: That is why global warming, erratic weather, and rising sea levels are threatening our country so severely.

Ripon: Illiterate citizens struggle to adopt modern agricultural technology, hygiene practices, and vocational training, keeping poverty alive.

Rana: What practical measures should we undertake to eradicate this curse?

Ripon: First, primary education must be enforced strictly so that no child drops out of school due to poverty.

Sabbir: It is deeply shameful. Copying in the examination has become an infectious moral disease among certain students.

Tanvir: Why do students resort to such shameful unfair means instead of studying honestly?

Sabbir: Mainly due to laziness, lack of consistent preparation throughout the year, and an unhealthy obsession with marks rather than real learning.

Tanvir: What disastrous consequences does copying bring upon a student’s future?

Sabbir: An unfair certificate obtained by copying is completely worthless. Such a student possesses no genuine knowledge and fails miserably in job interviews and practical life.

Tanvir: Moreover, it destroys their personal integrity, self-respect, and moral character.

Sabbir: Exactly! A nation whose students cheat in exams can never produce competent doctors, honest engineers, or capable leaders.

Tanvir: What steps should be taken to eliminate copying entirely from our examination centers?

Bakul: First, traffic laws must be strictly enforced, and corrupt practices in issuing driving licenses must be eradicated immediately.

Nayon: Unfit and overloaded vehicles must be banned from all highways permanently.

Bakul: In addition, highways should be widened into four lanes with clear road dividers, and pedestrian foot-overbridges should be constructed.

Shuvo: It also enables women to become financially independent and contribute directly to the national economy through employment and entrepreneurship.

Mizan: Yes, in education, healthcare, administration, and the garment industry, our educated women are performing with outstanding excellence.

Shuvo: Therefore, eradicating child marriage and ensuring free higher secondary education for all girls must remain our top national priority.

Mizan: Well spoken, Shuvo. Female education is not a privilege; it is the cornerstone of national progress.

Tanvir: Hello Zubair, did you hear about the unfortunate youth from our neighborhood who was arrested yesterday?

Zubair: Hello Tanvir. Yes, it was heartbreaking to learn that he had become a helpless victim of drug addiction.

Tanvir: Drug addiction is a devastating curse that is silently ruining thousands of promising young lives across our society.

Zubair: Why do young people fall into the deadly trap of drugs like Yaba, heroin, and synthetic narcotics?

Tanvir: Often out of frustration, unemployment, broken family relationships, or dangerous peer pressure from bad companions.

Zubair: What terrible damage does drug addiction inflict on the human body and mind?

Tanvir: It completely destroys brain cells, causes kidney and liver failure, and leads to severe psychological disorders and depression.

Zubair: Not only that, an addict loses all moral judgment and often resorts to theft, robbery, and violence to pay for daily drugs, destroying family peace.

Tanvir: What comprehensive steps must be taken to defeat this deadly menace?

Zubair: The government must smash international drug trafficking cartels with an iron hand and enforce the death penalty for kingpins.

Tanvir: Furthermore, we need specialized, compassionate rehabilitation centers to treat addicted youth and reintegrate them into society.

Second Citizen: Good morning. I am inspecting these apples and fish. I fear they have been treated with toxic formalin and chemicals.

First Citizen: Food adulteration has truly become an invisible, silent killer in our country.

Second Citizen: It is terrifying! Greedy, unscrupulous traders mix deadly carbide to ripen bananas and mangoes artificially, and spray toxic chemicals on fish and meat to keep them looking fresh.

First Citizen: Even milk, spices, mustard oil, and sweetmeats are adulterated with poisonous industrial dyes, brick dust, and urea.

Second Citizen: What catastrophic medical consequences are people suffering as a result?

First Citizen: Doctors report that the alarming surge in kidney failure, liver cirrhosis, stomach cancer, and heart disease across Bangladesh is directly linked to adulterated food.

Second Citizen: Pregnant women and innocent children are the most vulnerable victims of this heartless commercial greed.

First Citizen: What must the authorities do to eradicate this crime against humanity?

Second Citizen: Mobile courts must operate continuously throughout the year, conducting random laboratory tests in wholesale and retail bazaars.

First Citizen: Corrupt hoarders and adulterators must be sentenced to rigorous life imprisonment, and their businesses permanently confiscated.

Second Citizen: The public must also become vigilant, boycott suspicious markets, and support certified organic farming.

First Citizen: Human life is precious; no one should be allowed to poison our nation for temporary profit.

First Customer: Assalamu Alaikum, brother. Look at the price list in the grocery market today! It is shocking.

Second Customer: Wa Alaikum Assalam. It is completely unbearable! The prices of essential commodities like rice, lentils, edible oil, and vegetables are skyrocketing every single day.

First Customer: A poor laborer earning five hundred Taka a day cannot even afford basic rice and potatoes for his family.

Second Customer: How can low-income and fixed-salary families survive in the face of such relentless inflation?

First Customer: What is causing this unnatural, continuous price hike?

Second Customer: While global fuel prices and transport costs have contributed, the primary culprit is illegal market syndicates and artificial hoarding by greedy wholesalers.

First Customer: Exactly! Middlemen hoard essential food stocks in secret warehouses, create artificial shortages, and fleece helpless consumers.

Second Customer: Extortion along transport highways also inflates the cost of vegetables before they even reach city markets.

First Customer: What steps should the government take immediately to bring relief to the common people?

Second Customer: The Trading Corporation of Bangladesh (TCB) must expand open-market truck sales of subsidized food in every ward and village.

First Customer: Furthermore, consumer rights protection directorates must conduct strict daily raids to smash corrupt trading cartels and enforce fair retail prices.

Second Customer: If the syndicates are broken, prices will return to normal, and the poor can breathe a sigh of relief.

Siam: Hello Tahsin. Yes, I followed the news closely. The reports on global warming and rising sea levels are deeply alarming for Bangladesh.

Tahsin: Our country contributes less than one percent of global carbon emissions, yet we are among the most severely affected victims of climate change.

Siam: That is the cruel injustice of global climate crisis. How is Bangladesh currently experiencing these impacts?

Tahsin: Rising sea levels are submerging low-lying coastal areas in Khulna, Satkhira, and Barishal, pushing saline water into freshwater agricultural lands and drinking wells.

Siam: Furthermore, the frequency and ferocity of devastating cyclones, river erosion, and flash floods have intensified dramatically.

Tahsin: Millions of coastal farmers and fishermen are losing their ancestral homesteads, becoming helpless climate refugees in city slums.

Siam: What must the international community do to fulfill their climate obligations?

Tahsin: Developed industrialized nations must drastically slash their carbon emissions and fulfill their promised billions in climate adaptation funds to vulnerable nations.

Siam: What domestic resilience measures should Bangladesh implement?

Tahsin: We must build stronger coastal embankments, preserve the mangrove barrier of the Sundarbans, and innovate saline-tolerant and flood-resistant rice varieties.

Siam: Protecting our planet is an urgent collective moral duty for all mankind.

Antora: Without education, we cannot use our natural resources properly.

Shanta: You are right. Science and technology depend entirely on education.

Antora: Look at developed countries; they all have very high literacy rates.

Shanta: So, we must ensure that every child in our country goes to school.

Antora: Government and wealthy people should work together on this.
