Did You Know? (কিবা জানানে?)

Trees can actually communicate with each other! They use an underground network of fungi (often called the 'Wood Wide Web') to share nutrients and even send warning signals to other trees if they are being attacked by insects.

Bulbul is busy playing in his room.

বুলবুল তাৰ কোঠাত খেলি ব্যস্ত হৈ আছে।

It is Sunday today.

আজি দেওবাৰ।

He wakes up late on Sundays.

সি দেওবাৰে পলমকৈ সাৰ পায়।

In the morning he loves to spend most of the time by playing video games and watching TV.

ৰাতিপুৱা সি বেছিভাগ সময় ভিডিঅ' গেম খেলি আৰু টিভি চাই কটাবলৈ ভাল পায়।

His mother Mrs Hazarika does not like this habit of her son.

তাৰ মাক শ্ৰীমতী হাজৰিকাই পুতেকৰ এই অভ্যাসটো ভাল নাপায়।

She always asks Bulbul to enjoy the holidays by playing outside.

তেওঁ সদায় বুলবুলক বাহিৰত খেলি বন্ধৰ দিনবোৰ উপভোগ কৰিবলৈ কয়।

The campus of their house is very beautiful.

সিহঁতৰ ঘৰৰ চৌহদটো বৰ ধুনীয়া।

There are many trees, big and small.

তাত সৰু-ডাঙৰ বহুতো গছ আছে।

The flowering plants are even more beautiful and colourful.

ফুলৰ গছবোৰ আৰু অধিক ধুনীয়া আৰু ৰঙীন।

Bulbul loves them, no doubt, but he does not find anything special on the trees and the animals around.

বুলবুলে সেইবোৰ ভাল পায়, কোনো সন্দেহ নাই, কিন্তু সি চৌপাশৰ গছ-গছনি আৰু জীৱ-জন্তুবোৰৰ মাজত কোনো বিশেষত্ব বিচাৰি নাপায়।

Mrs Hazarika is a little worried about this attitude of her son.

শ্ৰীমতী হাজৰিকা তাইৰ পুতেকৰ এই মনোভাৱক লৈ অলপ চিন্তিত।

She decides to teach him a lesson today.

তেওঁ আজি তাক এটা শিক্ষা দিয়াৰ সিদ্ধান্ত লয়।

It's breakfast time.

এয়া ৰাতিপুৱাৰ আহাৰৰ সময়।

They usually eat 'roti' and mixed vegetables for breakfast.

তেওঁলোকে সাধাৰণতে ৰাতিপুৱাৰ আহাৰত 'ৰুটি' আৰু ভাজি খায়।

Bulbul is still playing in his room.

বুলবুলে এতিয়াও তাৰ কোঠাত খেলি আছে।

He is hungry and waiting for his mother to call out him for breakfast.

তাৰ ভোক লাগিছে আৰু মাকৰ মাতলৈ ৰাতিপুৱাৰ আহাৰৰ বাবে অপেক্ষা কৰি আছে।

"What happened today? It's getting late! I am starving!"

"আজি কি হ'ল? পলম হৈছে! মোৰ বৰ ভোক লাগিছে!"

He goes out of his room and sees everybody having breakfast.

সি তাৰ কোঠাৰ পৰা ওলাই যায় আৰু সকলোকে ৰাতিপুৱাৰ আহাৰ খাই থকা দেখে।

He is confused and sits on his chair.

সি বিভ্ৰান্ত হয় আৰু তাৰ চকীত বহে।

But no food is served in front of him.

কিন্তু তাৰ সন্মুখত কোনো খাদ্য পৰিৱেশন কৰা হোৱা নাই।

"Ma! Give me food immediately."

"মা! মোক লগে লগে খাবলৈ দিয়া।"

Mrs Hazarika says, "Bulbul, whom do you thank for the food you eat?"

শ্ৰীমতী হাজৰিকাই কয়, "বুলবুল, তুমি খোৱা খাদ্যৰ বাবে কাক ধন্যবাদ দিয়া?"

"Why? I thank you Ma for the food I eat!"

"কিয়? মই খোৱা খাদ্যৰ বাবে মই তোমাক ধন্যবাদ দিওঁ মা!"

She again says, "No, you must not thank me for the food, instead you should thank the plants and animals for the food!"

তেওঁ আকৌ কয়, "নহয়, খাদ্যৰ বাবে তুমি মোক ধন্যবাদ দিব নালাগে, তাৰ পৰিৱৰ্তে তুমি খাদ্যৰ বাবে গছ-গছনি আৰু জীৱ-জন্তুবোৰক ধন্যবাদ দিব লাগে!"

She places a plate of 'Roti-Sabji' in front of him.

তেওঁ তাৰ সন্মুখত এখন 'ৰুটি-ভাজি'ৰ কাঁহী ৰাখে।

She says, "If you notice carefully, you will know that the roti and vegetables on your plate come from plants.

তেওঁ কয়, "যদি তুমি ভালদৰে মন কৰা, তুমি জানিব পাৰিবা যে তোমাৰ কাঁহীৰ ৰুটি আৰু শাক-পাচলি গছৰ পৰা আহে।

Again the cup of milk, it's a gift from the cow."

আকৌ গাখীৰৰ কাপটো, এইটো গৰুৰ পৰা পোৱা এক উপহাৰ।"

He quickly understands what his mother is saying.

মাকৰ কথা সি লগে লগে বুজি পায়।

He instantly replies, "Ok Ma, from today I will always thank the plants and animals and you too, for the delicious food,"and he starts enjoying his food.

সি লগে লগে উত্তৰ দিয়ে, "ঠিক আছে মা, আজিৰ পৰা মই সুস্বাদু খাদ্যৰ বাবে গছ-গছনি আৰু জীৱ-জন্তুক আৰু লগতে তোমাকো সদায় ধন্যবাদ জনাম," আৰু সি তাৰ আহাৰ উপভোগ কৰিবলৈ লয়।

His mother again says, "You need not utter the expression 'Thank you'.

তাৰ মাকে আকৌ কয়, "তুমি 'ধন্যবাদ' শব্দটো উচ্চাৰণ কৰাৰ প্ৰয়োজন নাই।

You should be caring and loving towards them.

তুমি সিহঁতৰ প্ৰতি যত্নশীল আৰু মৰমীয়াল হ'ব লাগে।

You must love nature, its plants and animals the way you love me and cling to me.

তুমি মোক যিদৰে ভাল পোৱা আৰু মোৰ লগত লাগি থাকা, তেনেদৰেই প্ৰকৃতি, ইয়াৰ গছ-গছনি আৰু জীৱ-জন্তুকো ভাল পাব লাগিব।

Think of any food item. The source is either plants or animals!

যিকোনো খাদ্যবস্তুৰ কথা ভাবা। উৎসটো হয় গছ-গছনি নহয় জীৱ-জন্তু!

So, love nature, respect nature and try to care for them."

সেয়েহে, প্ৰকৃতিক ভাল পোৱা, প্ৰকৃতিক সন্মান কৰা আৰু সিহঁতৰ যত্ন ল'বলৈ চেষ্টা কৰা।"

Bulbul suddenly feels a deep affection for the plants and trees and also the animals because he knows that food brings us health and happiness.

বুলবুলে হঠাতে গছ-গছনি আৰু লগতে জীৱ-জন্তুবোৰৰ প্ৰতি গভীৰ মৰম অনুভৱ কৰে কাৰণ সি জানে যে খাদ্যই আমালৈ স্বাস্থ্য আৰু সুখ কঢ়িয়াই আনে।

Nature is also a great teacher.

প্ৰকৃতিও এগৰাকী মহান শিক্ষক।

We can learn life lessons from the plants and trees.

আমি গছ-গছনিৰ পৰা জীৱনৰ শিক্ষা ল'ব পাৰোঁ।

We see that when we prune trees, they grow more beautifully.

আমি দেখোঁ যে যেতিয়া আমি গছৰ ডাল কাটি দিওঁ, সেইবোৰ অধিক ধুনীয়াকৈ বাঢ়ি আহে।

Like this, we can also grow when we face any difficult situation.

এনেদৰে, আমি কোনো কঠিন পৰিস্থিতিৰ সন্মুখীন হ'লেও আগবাঢ়িব পাৰোঁ।

Every single plant is beautiful. They may have different colours, sizes and smells.

প্ৰতিজোপা গছ ধুনীয়া। সিহঁতৰ বেলেগ বেলেগ ৰং, আকাৰ আৰু গোন্ধ থাকিব পাৰে।

We human beings are also beautiful, though we look different from one another.

আমি মানুহবোৰো ধুনীয়া, যদিও আমি ইজনে সিজনৰ পৰা দেখিবলৈ বেলেগ।

Bulbul's science teacher always tells them these things in the class.

বুলবুলৰ বিজ্ঞান শিক্ষকে শ্ৰেণীত সদায় এই কথাবোৰ কয়।

While munching on his food, he recalls everything.

খাদ্য চোবাই খাওঁতে সি সকলো কথা মনত পেলায়।

After he is done, he says to his mother, "Ma, now I understand why you love the trees and flowers and animals so much.

তাৰ খোৱা শেষ হোৱাৰ পিছত সি মাকক কয়, "মা, মই এতিয়া বুজিলোঁ তুমি কিয় গছ আৰু ফুল আৰু জীৱ-জন্তুক ইমান ভাল পোৱা।

I promise that from today onwards I will try to spend my leisure time outside, playing and taking care of our beloved friend, 'Nature'."

মই কথা দিছোঁ যে আজিৰ পৰা মই মোৰ আজৰি সময়খিনি বাহিৰত খেলা-ধূলা কৰি আৰু আমাৰ প্ৰিয় বন্ধু 'প্ৰকৃতি'ৰ যত্ন লৈ কটাবলৈ চেষ্টা কৰিম।"

Mrs Hazarika smiles with satisfaction.

শ্ৰীমতী হাজৰিকাই সন্তুষ্টিৰে হাঁহে।
