Try, try again; (āϚেāώ্āϟা āϕ⧰া, āφāĻ•ৌ āϚেāώ্āϟা āϕ⧰া;)

If at first you don’t succeed, (āϝāĻĻি āĻĒ্ā§°āĻĨāĻŽāĻŦাā§°āϤে āϤুāĻŽি āϏāĻĢāϞ āύোāĻšোā§ąা,)

Try, try again; (āϚেāώ্āϟা āϕ⧰া, āφāĻ•ৌ āϚেāώ্āϟা āϕ⧰া;)

If you would at last prevail, (āϝāĻĻি āϤুāĻŽি āĻļেāώāϤ āϜāϝ়ী āĻš’āĻŦ āĻŦিāϚ⧰া,)

Try, try again; (āϚেāώ্āϟা āϕ⧰া, āφāĻ•ৌ āϚেāώ্āϟা āϕ⧰া;)

What should you do in that case? (āϤেāύে āĻ…ā§ąāϏ্āĻĨাāϤ āϤুāĻŽি āĻ•ি āϕ⧰া āωāϚিāϤ?)

Try, try again. (āϚেāώ্āϟা āϕ⧰া, āφāĻ•ৌ āϚেāώ্āϟা āϕ⧰া।)

If you find your task is hard, (āϝāĻĻি āϤুāĻŽি āĻĻেāĻ–া āĻĒোā§ąা āϝে āϤোāĻŽাā§° āĻ•াāĻŽāϟো āĻ•āĻ িāύ,)

Time will bring you your reward- (āϏāĻŽāϝ়ে āϤোāĻŽাāĻ• āϤোāĻŽাā§° āĻĒুā§°āϏ্āĻ•াā§° āφāύি āĻĻিāĻŦ-)

Try, try again; (āϚেāώ্āϟা āϕ⧰া, āφāĻ•ৌ āϚেāώ্āϟা āϕ⧰া;)

All that other folks can do, (āφāύ āϏāĻ•āϞো āĻŽাāύুāĻšে āϝিāĻŦোā§° āϕ⧰িāĻŦ āĻĒাā§°ে,)

Why, with patience, should not you? (āϧৈā§°্āϝ্āϝ āϧ⧰িāϞে āϤুāĻŽি āĻ•িāϝ় āύোā§ąাā§°িāĻŦা?)

Try, try again. (āϚেāώ্āϟা āϕ⧰া, āφāĻ•ৌ āϚেāώ্āϟা āϕ⧰া।)

The Sky is Falling (āφāĻ•াāĻļāĻ–āύ āĻ–āĻšি āĻĒā§°িāĻ›ে)

Once upon a time, there lived a rabbit in a forest. It was very timid. It would tremble even at the slightest sound. On a sunny morning, he was having a nap under a mango tree. Suddenly, a ripe mango fell from the tree on its head. “Ouch…!! What was that?” He was startled. He looked around but could not find anything. He jumped up in fright and started to run. The timid rabbit thought that the sky had hit him. He cried aloud, “Oh my God! The sky is falling. Run fast, run fast, save your life.”(āĻāϏāĻŽāϝ়āϤ āĻāĻ–āύ āĻšাāĻŦিāϤ āĻāϟা āĻļāĻšাāĻĒāĻšু āĻŦাāϏ āϕ⧰িāĻ›িāϞ। āϏি āĻŦā§° āĻ­āϝ়াāϤুā§° āφāĻ›িāϞ। āϏাāĻŽাāύ্āϝ āĻļāĻŦ্āĻĻāϤো āϏি āĻ•ঁāĻĒি āωāĻ িāĻ›িāϞ। āĻāĻĻিāύ ā§°াāϤিāĻĒুā§ąা ā§°’āĻĻāϘাāχ āĻŦāϤ⧰āϤ āϏি āĻāϜোāĻĒা āφāĻŽ āĻ—āϛ⧰ āϤāϞāϤ āϟোāĻĒāύি āĻŽাā§°ি āφāĻ›িāϞ। āĻšāĻ াā§Ž āĻ—āϛ⧰ āĻĒā§°া āĻāϟা āĻĒāĻ•া āφāĻŽ āϤাā§° āĻŽূā§°āϤ āϏ⧰ি āĻĒā§°িāϞ। “āφāĻš…!! āϏেāχāϟো āĻ•ি āφāĻ›িāϞ?” āϏি āωāϚāĻĒ āĻ–াāχ āωāĻ িāϞ। āϏি āϚাā§°িāĻ“āĻĢাāϞে āϚাāϞে āĻ•িāύ্āϤু āĻāĻ•ো āĻĻেāĻ–া āύাāĻĒাāϞে। āĻ­āϝ়āϤে āϏি āϜঁāĻĒিāϝ়াāχ āωāĻ িāϞ āφ⧰ু āĻĻৌā§°িāĻŦāϞৈ āϧ⧰িāϞে। āĻ­āϝ়াāϤুā§° āĻļāĻšাāĻĒāĻšুāϟোā§ąে āĻ­াāĻŦিāϞে āϝে āφāĻ•াāĻļāĻ–āύে āϤাāĻ• āĻ–ুāύ্āĻĻা āĻŽাā§°িāĻ›ে। āϏি āĻĄাāϙ⧰āĻ•ৈ āϚিāĻžā§°িāϞে, “āĻšে āĻ­āĻ—ā§ąাāύ! āφāĻ•াāĻļāĻ–āύ āĻ–āĻšি āĻĒā§°িāĻ›ে। āĻŦেāĻ—াāχ āĻĻৌā§°া, āĻŦেāĻ—াāχ āĻĻৌā§°া, āύিāϜ⧰ āĻĒ্ā§°াāĻŖ ā§°āĻ•্āώা āϕ⧰া।”)

 A small squirrel was busy collecting nuts. He wasted no time. Grabbing the nuts, he also started to run away. The birds on the tree also heard the rabbit shouting and they too started to fly along with them. Soon all the animals of the forest-foxes, wolves, deer, elephants, leopards, and monkeys followed them shouting with all their might.

When the king saw all the animals rushing towards his den, he too became anxious. He wanted to know why all the animals were running in that strange manner. The lion king asked, “What happened? Why are you all frightened? I am surprised at your strange behaviour. The timid rabbit said to the king, “Your Majesty, the sky is falling! We are searching for a safe place. Where will we go? Please, do something for us.” The king of the forest asked, “Where did you see the sky falling?” The rabbit said, “I was sleeping under a mango tree, Your Majesty.

The king asked each of the animals one by one if they had seen the sky falling. The animals replied in one voice – “No, your Majesty!” The king then ordered all the animals to follow him. “Let’s go to the mango tree under which the rabbit was sleeping.” All the animals followed the king. On reaching the spot, he saw a mango lying on the ground. Immediately, the Lion King understood what had happened. He picked up the mango and said to the animals, “Ha! Ha! Ha! This is the sky which fell from the tree and hit the head of the rabbit.” The Lion King cleared his throat and said in a majestic voice, “Don’t we all know that the rabbit is timid and he’s scared of everything! But why did you all take leave of your senses?” “You should always think before you act.” All the animals felt ashamed and said sorry to the king.(ā§°āϜাāχ āϜāύ্āϤুāĻŦোā§°āĻ• āĻāϜāύ āĻāϜāύāĻ•ৈ āϏুāϧিāϞে āϝে āϏিāĻšঁāϤে āφāĻ•াāĻļāĻ–āύ āĻ–āĻšি āĻĒā§°া āĻĻেāĻ–িāĻ›িāϞ āύেāĻ•ি। āϜāύ্āϤুāĻŦোā§°ে āĻāĻ•েāĻŽুāĻ–ে āωāϤ্āϤ⧰ āĻĻিāϞে – “āύাāχ āĻĻেāĻ–া, āĻŽāĻšাā§°াāϜ!” āϤেāϤিāϝ়া ā§°āϜাāχ āϏāĻ•āϞো āϜāύ্āϤুāĻ• āϤাā§° āĻĒিāĻ›ে āĻĒিāĻ›ে āφāĻšিāĻŦāϞৈ āφāĻĻেāĻļ āĻĻিāϞে। “āĻŦ’āϞা āϏেāχ āφāĻŽ āĻ—āĻ›āϜোāĻĒাā§° āĻ“āϚ⧰āϞৈ āϝাāĻ“ঁ āϝাā§° āϤāϞāϤ āĻļāĻšাāĻĒāĻšুāϟো āĻļুāχ āφāĻ›িāϞ।” āϏāĻ•āϞো āϜāύ্āϤু ā§°āϜাā§° āĻĒিāĻ›ে āĻĒিāĻ›ে āĻ—’āϞ। āĻ াāχāĻ–āύāϤ āωāĻĒāϏ্āĻĨিāϤ āĻšৈ āϏি āĻŽাāϟিāϤ āĻāϟা āφāĻŽ āĻĒā§°ি āĻĨāĻ•া āĻĻেāĻ–িāϞে। āϞāĻ—ে āϞāĻ—ে āϏিংāĻš ā§°āϜাāχ āĻŦুāϜি āĻĒাāϞে āĻ•ি āϘāϟিāĻ›িāϞ। āϏি āφāĻŽāϟো āϤুāϞি āϞৈ āϜāύ্āϤুāĻŦোā§°āĻ• āĻ•’āϞে, “āĻšা! āĻšা! āĻšা! āĻāχāĻ–āύেāχ āĻšৈāĻ›ে āφāĻ•াāĻļāĻ–āύ āϝিāĻ–āύ āĻ—āϛ⧰ āĻĒā§°া āϏ⧰ি āĻļāĻšাāĻĒāĻšুāϟোā§° āĻŽূā§°āϤ āĻĒā§°িāĻ›িāϞ।” āϏিংāĻš ā§°āϜাāχ āĻĄিāĻ™িāϟো āϚাāĻĢা āϕ⧰ি āĻāϟা āĻ—াāĻŽ্āĻ­ীā§°্āϝāĻĒূā§°্āĻŖ āĻŽাāϤেā§°ে āĻ•’āϞে, “āφāĻŽি āϏāĻ•āϞোā§ąে āϜাāύো āύāĻšāϝ় āϝে āĻļāĻšাāĻĒāĻšুāϟো āĻ­āϝ়াāϤুā§° āφ⧰ু āϏি āϏāĻ•āϞো āĻ•āĻĨাāϤে āĻ­āϝ় āĻ–াāϝ়! āĻ•িāύ্āϤু āϤোāĻŽাāϞোāĻ•ে āĻ•িāϝ় āύিāϜ⧰ āĻ•াāĻŖ্āĻĄāϜ্āĻžাāύ āĻšেā§°ুā§ąাāϞা?” “āϤোāĻŽাāϞোāĻ•ে āĻ•াāĻŽ āϕ⧰াā§° āφāĻ—āϤে āϏāĻĻাāϝ় āϚিāύ্āϤা āϕ⧰িāĻŦ āϞাāĻ—ে।” āϏāĻ•āϞো āϜāύ্āϤুā§ąে āϞাāϜ āĻĒাāϞে āφ⧰ু ā§°āϜাā§° āĻ“āϚ⧰āϤ āĻ•্āώāĻŽা āĻ–ুāϜিāϞে।)

Activity 22. a) Let’s listen to the story: (āφāĻšাঁ āφāĻŽি āϏাāϧুāϟো āĻļুāύো:)

Once upon a time, there was a brave king. āĻāϏāĻŽāϝ়āϤ āĻāϜāύ āϏাāĻšāϏী ā§°āϜা āφāĻ›িāϞ।

His name was Robert Bruce. āϤেāĻ“ঁā§° āύাāĻŽ ā§°āĻŦাā§°্āϟ āĻŦ্ā§°ুāϚ āφāĻ›িāϞ।

Ans (The Correct Sequence 1 to 4) :

1. Once upon a time there was a brave king who won many battles. He lost a battle once. He was upset. So, he ran away from the battlefield, and hid in a cave. (āĻāϏāĻŽāϝ়āϤ āĻāϜāύ āϏাāĻšāϏী ā§°āϜা āφāĻ›িāϞ āϝিāϝ়ে āĻŦāĻšুāϤো āϝুāĻĻ্āϧāϤ āϜāϝ়āϞাāĻ­ āϕ⧰িāĻ›িāϞ। āϤেāĻ“ঁ āĻāĻŦাā§° āĻāĻ–āύ āϝুāĻĻ্āϧāϤ āĻšাā§°িāϞ। āϤেāĻ“ঁā§° āĻŦā§° āĻĻুāĻ– āϞাāĻ—িāϞ। āϏেāϝ়েāĻšে, āϤেāĻ“ঁ āϝুāĻĻ্āϧāĻ•্āώেāϤ্ā§°ā§° āĻĒā§°া āĻĒāϞাāχ āĻ—ৈ āĻāϟা āĻ—ুāĻšাāϤ āϞুāĻ•াāχ āĻĨাāĻ•িāϞ।)

2. He saw a spider inside the cave. It was trying to spin a cobweb, but failed. It tried hard again and again. Each time the spider climbed higher it fell down. But it didn’t lose patience and hope. (āϤেāĻ“ঁ āĻ—ুāĻšাāϟোā§° āĻ­িāϤ⧰āϤ āĻāϟা āĻŽāϕ⧰া āĻĻেāĻ–িāϞে। āχ āĻāĻ–āύ āĻŽāϕ⧰াāϜাāϞ āĻ—ুঁāĻ িāĻŦāϞৈ āϚেāώ্āϟা āϕ⧰ি āφāĻ›িāϞ, āĻ•িāύ্āϤু āĻŦিāĻĢāϞ āĻšৈāĻ›িāϞ। āχ āĻŦাā§°ে āĻŦাā§°ে āĻ•āĻ োā§° āϚেāώ্āϟা āϕ⧰িāĻ›িāϞ। āĻĒ্ā§°āϤিāĻŦাā§°েāχ āĻŽāϕ⧰াāϟোā§ąে āϝিāĻŽাāύেāχ āĻ“āĻĒā§°āϞৈ āĻŦāĻ—াāχāĻ›িāϞ, āϏিāĻŽাāύেāχ āϤāϞāϞৈ āĻĒā§°ি āĻ—ৈāĻ›িāϞ। āĻ•িāύ্āϤু āχ āϧৈā§°্āϝ্āϝ āφ⧰ু āφāĻļা āĻā§°ি āĻĻিāϝ়া āύাāĻ›িāϞ।)

3. With strong will and perseverance it worked harder and harder. It did not give up and finally completed the cobweb only because of its hard labour. This hard work of the spider inspired the king. (āĻĒ্ā§°āĻŦāϞ āχāϚ্āĻ›া āĻļāĻ•্āϤি āφ⧰ু āύেā§°াāύেāĻĒেā§°া āĻĒ্ā§°āϚেāώ্āϟাā§°ে āχ āĻ•্ā§°āĻŽাāύ্āĻŦāϝ়ে āĻ…āϧিāĻ• āĻ•āĻ োā§° āĻĒā§°িāĻļ্ā§°āĻŽ āϕ⧰িāĻ›িāϞ। āχ āĻšাā§° āĻŽāύা āύাāĻ›িāϞ āφ⧰ু āĻ…ā§ąāĻļেāώāϤ āĻ•েā§ąāϞ āύিāϜ⧰ āĻ•āĻ োā§° āĻĒā§°িāĻļ্ā§°āĻŽā§° āĻŦাāĻŦেāχ āĻŽāϕ⧰াāϜাāϞāĻ–āύ āϏāĻŽ্āĻĒূā§°্āĻŖ āϕ⧰িāĻŦ āĻĒাā§°িāϞে। āĻŽāϕ⧰াāϟোā§° āĻāχ āĻ•āĻ োā§° āĻĒā§°িāĻļ্ā§°āĻŽে ā§°āϜাāĻ• āĻ…āύুāĻĒ্ā§°াāĻŖিāϤ āϕ⧰িāϞে।)

4. The king understood that he shouldn’t be frustrated. He should try to get back his kingdom once again for his countrymen. One must work hard to succeed in life.
