Chapter Summary / Overview (āĻŽূāϞ āĻাā§ą)
"Bitopan's New Friend" is an imaginative and educational story about a boy named Bitopan who dislikes science and thinks it is completely useless. Upset because his science teacher scolded him for not paying attention, Bitopan falls asleep at his study table. In his dream, his science book magically jumps out from the shelf and begins talking to him. The book sadly asks why Bitopan ignores it, despite the fact that it helps him live a comfortable life.
When Bitopan expresses his confusion, the science book explains that everything from toothpaste, soaps, fans, mobiles, televisions, to medicines are all gifts of science. Realizing how deeply connected science is to our daily survival, Bitopan feels sorry. He accepts the science book as his dear new friend and promises to pay attention in class. Finally, he wakes up from his dream when his mother calls him, completely changing his perspective toward the subject.

It is evening time.
āĻāϝ়া āϏāύ্āϧিāϝ়া āϏāĻŽāϝ়।
Bitopan is at his study.
āĻŦিāϤোāĻĒāύ āϤাā§° āĻĒāĻĸ়া āĻŽেāĻāϤ āĻāĻে।
He is a good student. He studies regularly and gets good marks.

But today he does not want to study. He is very upset.
āĻিāύ্āϤু āĻāĻি āϤাā§° āĻĒāĻĸ়িāĻŦāϞৈ āĻŽāύ āϝোā§ąা āύাāĻ। āϏি āĻŦā§° āĻšāϤাāĻļ āĻšৈ āĻāĻে।
His science teacher was angry with him in the class because he did not pay attention when he was teaching.
āĻļ্ā§°েāĻŖীāϤ āϤাā§° āĻŦিāĻ্āĻাāύ āĻļিāĻ্āώāĻে āϤাā§° āĻāĻĒā§°āϤ āĻং āĻā§°িāĻিāϞ āĻাā§°āĻŖ āϤেāĻঁ āĻĒāĻĸ়াāĻ āĻĨāĻাā§° āϏāĻŽāϝ়āϤ āϏি āĻŽāύোāϝোāĻ āĻĻিāϝ়া āύাāĻিāϞ।
But what to do? Bitopan does not like science.
āĻিāύ্āϤু āĻি āĻā§°িāĻŦ? āĻŦিāϤোāĻĒāύে āĻŦিāĻ্āĻাāύ āĻাāϞ āύাāĻĒাāϝ়।
He finds it boring and useless.
āϏি āĻāϝ়াāĻ āĻāĻŽāύিāĻĻাāϝ়āĻ āĻā§°ু āĻ āϞাāĻāϤিāϝ়াāϞ āĻŦুāϞি āĻাāĻŦে।
What will happen if he knows about light, force, photosynthesis and so on?
āĻĒোāĻšā§°, āĻŦāϞ, āϏাāϞোāĻāϏংāĻļ্āϞেāώāĻŖ āĻāĻĻিā§° āĻŦিāώāϝ়ে āĻাāύিāϞে āϤাā§° āĻি āϞাāĻ āĻš'āĻŦ?
Bitopan feels very tired. He closes his eyes.
āĻŦিāϤোāĻĒāύ⧰ āĻŦā§° āĻাāĻā§° āϞাāĻিāĻে। āϏি āϤাā§° āĻāĻু āĻĻুāĻা āĻŦāύ্āϧ āĻā§°িāϞে।
After a while, suddenly he sees his science book jump from the shelf and stand in front of him.
āĻিāĻু āϏāĻŽāϝ়ā§° āĻĒিāĻāϤ, āĻšāĻ াāϤে āϏি āĻĻেāĻিāϞে āϝে āϤাā§° āĻŦিāĻ্āĻাāύ āĻিāϤাāĻĒāĻāύ āĻেāϞāĻĢā§° āĻĒā§°া āĻাঁāĻĒ āĻŽাā§°ি āϤাā§° āϏāύ্āĻŽুāĻāϤ āĻĨিāϝ় āĻšৈāĻে।
It looks very sad.
āĻāϝ়াāĻ āĻŦā§° āĻĻুāĻী āϝেāύ āϞাāĻিāĻিāϞ।
'Why don't you like me Bitopan? I always try to help you to get a comfortable life.
'āϤুāĻŽি āĻŽোāĻ āĻিāϝ় āĻাāϞ āύাāĻĒোā§ąা āĻŦিāϤোāĻĒāύ? āĻŽāĻ āϏāĻĻাāϝ় āϤোāĻŽাāĻ āĻāĻ āĻā§°াāĻŽāĻĻাāϝ়āĻ āĻীā§ąāύ āĻĒাāĻŦāϞৈ āϏāĻšাāϝ় āĻā§°িāĻŦāϞৈ āĻেāώ্āĻা āĻā§°োঁ।
But you don't care," the science book says.
āĻিāύ্āϤু āϤুāĻŽি āĻ্ā§°ূāĻ্āώেāĻĒেāĻ āύāĻā§°া," āĻŦিāĻ্āĻাāύ āĻিāϤাāĻĒāĻāύে āĻ'āϞে।
Bitopan feels very nervous. He doesn't know what to say.
āĻŦিāϤোāĻĒāύ āĻŦā§° āĻāϝ় āĻাāϞে। āϏি āĻি āĻ'āĻŦ āĻāĻো āĻাāĻŦি āĻĒোā§ąা āύাāĻ।
He stammers and says "Actually I...I, don't understand you and don't find any relevance of you in our life.
āϏি āĻĨোāϤা-āĻŽোāĻা āĻাāĻ āĻ'āϞে "āĻāĻāϞāϤে āĻŽāĻ...āĻŽāĻ, āϤোāĻŽাāĻ āĻŦুāĻি āύাāĻĒাāĻঁ āĻā§°ু āĻāĻŽাā§° āĻীā§ąāύāϤ āϤোāĻŽাā§° āĻোāύো āĻĒ্ā§°াāϏংāĻিāĻāϤা āĻŦিāĻাā§°ি āύাāĻĒাāĻঁ।
You are of no use to me."
āϤুāĻŽি āĻŽোā§° āĻোāύো āĻাāĻŽā§° āύāĻšāϝ়।"
This time the science book says confidently, "You are saying this because you don't know anything about me.
āĻāĻāĻŦাā§° āĻŦিāĻ্āĻাāύ āĻিāϤাāĻĒāĻāύে āĻāϤ্āĻŽāĻŦিāĻļ্āĻŦাāϏেā§°ে āĻ'āϞে, "āϤুāĻŽি āĻāĻ āĻāĻĨা āĻৈāĻা āĻাā§°āĻŖ āϤুāĻŽি āĻŽোā§° āĻŦিāώāϝ়ে āĻāĻো āύাāĻাāύা।

Bitopan looks puzzled.
āĻŦিāϤোāĻĒāύে āĻŦিāĻ্ā§°াāύ্āϤ āĻšৈ āĻাāϞে।
The science book says again, "See, you brush your teeth in the morning with a toothbrush and toothpaste, take bath with a soap, use fans, lights, mobiles, watch television, travel by a car, aeroplane- all these are possible only because of the knowledge of science.
āĻŦিāĻ্āĻাāύ āĻিāϤাāĻĒāĻāύে āĻāĻৌ āĻ'āϞে, "āĻোā§ąা, āϤুāĻŽি ā§°াāϤিāĻĒুā§ąা āĻুāĻĨāĻŦ্ā§°াāĻ āĻā§°ু āĻুāĻĨāĻĒেāώ্āĻেā§°ে āĻĻাঁāϤ āĻŦ্ā§°াāĻ āĻā§°া, āĻাāĻŦোāύেā§°ে āĻা āϧোā§ąা, āĻĢেāύ, āϞাāĻāĻ, āĻŽ'āĻŦাāĻāϞ āĻŦ্āĻ¯ā§ąāĻšাā§° āĻā§°া, āĻĻূā§°āĻĻā§°্āĻļāύ āĻোā§ąা, āĻাāĻĄ়ী, āĻā§°াāĻাāĻšাāĻেā§°ে āĻ্ā§°āĻŽāĻŖ āĻā§°া- āĻāĻ āϏāĻāϞোāĻŦোā§° āĻেā§ąāϞ āĻŦিāĻ্āĻাāύ⧰ āĻ্āĻাāύ⧰ āĻŦাāĻŦেāĻ āϏāĻŽ্āĻā§ą āĻšৈāĻে।

Alas! Bitopan has never thought of it before.

Last month when he had a fever, his mother gave him some medicines and he immediately felt relieved.
