Once upon a time there lived a family of hawks in a forest.
āĻāϏāĻŽāϝ়āϤ āĻāĻāύ āĻ ā§°āĻŖ্āϝāϤ āĻļেāύ āĻā§°াāĻā§° āĻāĻা āĻĒā§°িāϝ়াāϞ āĻŦাāϏ āĻā§°িāĻিāϞ।
They lived on a tree near a lake.
āϏিāĻšঁāϤে āĻāĻা āĻš্ā§°āĻĻā§° āĻাāώ⧰ āĻāĻোāĻĒা āĻāĻāϤ āĻŦাāϏ āĻā§°িāĻিāϞ।
There were a male hawk, a female hawk and their kids hawk in their family.
āϏিāĻšঁāϤ⧰ āĻĒā§°িāϝ়াāϞāϤ āĻāĻা āĻŽāϤা āĻļেāύ, āĻāĻāύী āĻŽাāĻāĻী āĻļেāύ āĻā§°ু āϏিāĻšঁāϤ⧰ āĻĒোā§ąাāϞি āĻļেāύ āĻāĻিāϞ।
They were a happy family.
āϏিāĻšঁāϤ āĻāĻা āϏুāĻী āĻĒā§°িāϝ়াāϞ āĻāĻিāϞ।
A lion, a kingfisher and a turtle also lived in that forest.
āϏেāĻ āĻ ā§°āĻŖ্āϝāĻāύāϤ āĻāĻা āϏিংāĻš, āĻāĻা āĻŽাāĻā§°োāĻা āĻā§°ু āĻāĻা āĻাāĻāĻ āĻŦাāϏ āĻā§°িāĻিāϞ।
One day the female hawk suggested to her husband, the male hawk, to make friends with the lion, the kingfisher and the turtle.
āĻāĻĻিāύ āĻŽাāĻāĻী āĻļেāύāĻāύীāϝ়ে āϤাāĻā§° āĻিā§°িāϝ়েāĻ āĻŽāϤা āĻļেāύāĻোāĻ āϏিংāĻš, āĻŽাāĻā§°োāĻা āĻā§°ু āĻাāĻāĻোā§° āϏৈāϤে āĻŦāύ্āϧুāϤ্āĻŦ āĻā§°িāĻŦāϞৈ āĻĒā§°াāĻŽā§°্āĻļ āĻĻিāϞে।
The male hawk readily agreed to that good idea and made friends with them.
āĻŽāϤা āĻļেāύāĻোā§ąে āϏেāĻ āĻাāϞ āϧাā§°āĻŖাāĻোāϤ āϞāĻে āϞāĻে āϏāύ্āĻŽāϤি āĻĻিāϞে āĻā§°ু āϏিāĻšঁāϤ⧰ āϏৈāϤে āĻŦāύ্āϧুāϤ্āĻŦ āĻā§°িāϞে।
The hawk family, the lion, the kingfisher and the turtle became happier than before after they met one another.
āĻļেāύ⧰ āĻĒā§°িāϝ়াāϞāĻো, āϏিংāĻš, āĻŽাāĻā§°োāĻা āĻā§°ু āĻাāĻāĻোā§ąে āĻāĻāύে āϏিāĻāύāĻ āϞāĻ āĻĒোā§ąাā§° āĻĒিāĻāϤ āĻāĻāϤāĻৈ āĻ āϧিāĻ āϏুāĻী āĻš'āϞ।
They started living a joyful life.
āϏিāĻšঁāϤে āĻāĻ āĻāύāύ্āĻĻāĻŽāϝ় āĻীā§ąāύ āϝাāĻĒāύ āĻā§°িāĻŦāϞৈ āĻā§°āĻŽ্āĻ āĻā§°িāϞে।
Suddenly, one morning some men came to the forest for hunting.
āĻšāĻ াāϤে, āĻāĻĻিāύ ā§°াāϤিāĻĒুā§ąা āĻিāĻুāĻŽাāύ āĻŽাāύুāĻš āĻিāĻাā§°ā§° āĻŦাāĻŦে āĻ ā§°āĻŖ্āϝāϞৈ āĻāĻšিāϞ।
They were not able to find anything till night.
āϏিāĻšঁāϤে ā§°াāϤিāϞৈāĻে āĻāĻো āĻŦিāĻাā§°ি āύাāĻĒাāϞে।
They went to the lake but there also they found nothing.
āϏিāĻšঁāϤে āĻš্ā§°āĻĻāĻোāϞৈ āĻ'āϞ āĻিāύ্āϤু āϤাāϤো āĻāĻো āύাāĻĒাāϞে।
They became tired and so they lay down under the tree, where the hawk family lived.
āϏিāĻšঁāϤ āĻাāĻā§°ি āĻĒā§°িāϞ āĻā§°ু āϏেāϝ়েāĻšে āϝিāĻĄাāϞ āĻāĻāϤ āĻļেāύ⧰ āĻĒā§°িāϝ়াāϞāĻো āĻŦাāϏ āĻā§°িāĻিāϞ, āϤাā§° āϤāϞāϤে āĻļুāĻ āĻĒā§°িāϞ।
But they could not sleep because the flies and the mosquitoes disturbed them.
āĻিāύ্āϤু āϏিāĻšঁāϤে āĻļুāĻŦ āύোā§ąাā§°িāϞে āĻাā§°āĻŖ āĻŽাāĻি āĻā§°ু āĻŽāĻšāĻŦোā§°ে āϏিāĻšঁāϤ⧰ āĻোāĻĒāύিāϤ āĻŦ্āϝাāĻাāϤ āĻāύ্āĻŽাāĻāĻিāϞ।
They got up and built a fire on the shore of the lake to drive away the flies and the mosquitoes.
āϏিāĻšঁāϤে āĻāĻ ি āĻŽাāĻি āĻā§°ু āĻŽāĻšāĻŦোā§° āĻেāĻĻিāĻŦāϞৈ āĻš্ā§°āĻĻā§° āĻĒাā§°āϤ āĻুāĻ āĻ্āĻŦāϞাāϞে।
But the fumes awoke the hawks and the kids hawk cried out.
āĻিāύ্āϤু āϧোঁā§ąাāĻ āĻļেāύāĻŦোā§°āĻ āĻāĻাāĻ āĻĻিāϞে āĻā§°ু āĻĒোā§ąাāϞি āĻļেāύāĻŦোā§°ে āĻিāĻā§°ি āĻāĻ িāϞ।
The hunters heard that cry and decided to catch the young hawks for their breakfast.
āĻিāĻাā§°ীāĻŦোā§°ে āϏেāĻ āĻিāĻā§° āĻļুāύিāϞে āĻā§°ু āϏিāĻšঁāϤ⧰ ā§°াāϤিāĻĒুā§ąাā§° āĻāĻšাā§°ā§° āĻŦাāĻŦে āĻļেāύ⧰ āĻĒোā§ąাāϞিāĻŦোā§° āϧ⧰িāĻŦāϞৈ āϏিāĻĻ্āϧাāύ্āϤ āϞ'āϞে।
They shouted with joy and talked to one another.
āϏিāĻšঁāϤে āĻāύāύ্āĻĻāϤ āĻিāĻā§°ি āĻāĻ িāϞ āĻā§°ু āĻāĻāύে āϏিāĻāύ⧰ āϞāĻāϤ āĻāĻĨা āĻĒাāϤিāϞে।
They put more wood on the fire and the fire blazed up.
āϏিāĻšঁāϤে āĻুāĻāϤ āĻ āϧিāĻ āĻā§°ি āĻĻিāϞে āĻā§°ু āĻুāĻ āĻĻāĻĒāĻĻāĻĒāĻৈ āĻ্āĻŦāϞি āĻāĻ িāϞ।
The fumes almost reached the nest.
āϧোঁā§ąা āĻĒ্ā§°াāϝ় āĻŦাঁāĻšāĻো āĻĒাāϞেāĻৈ।
The hawks overheard their conversation and decided to ask their friends for help.
āĻļেāύāĻŦোā§°ে āϏিāĻšঁāϤ⧰ āĻāĻĨা-āĻŦāϤ⧰া āĻļুāύিāϞে āĻā§°ু āϏāĻšাāϝ়ā§° āĻŦাāĻŦে āϏিāĻšঁāϤ⧰ āĻŦāύ্āϧুāĻŦোā§°āĻ āϏুāϧিāĻŦāϞৈ āϏিāĻĻ্āϧাāύ্āϤ āϞ'āϞে।
The male hawk at first flew speedily to the kingfisher.
āĻŽāϤা āĻļেāύāĻো āĻĒ্ā§°āĻĨāĻŽে āĻŦেāĻেā§°ে āĻŽাāĻā§°োāĻাāĻোā§° āĻāĻā§°āϞৈ āĻā§°ি āĻ'āϞ।
He narrated the whole story to the kingfisher.
āϏি āϏāĻŽāĻ্ā§° āĻাāĻšিāύীāĻো āĻŽাāĻā§°োāĻাāĻোāĻ āĻŦিā§ąā§°ি āĻ'āϞে।
The kingfisher at once came at the location and with its wings it beat the water of the lake and sprinkled water on the fire.
āĻŽাāĻā§°োāĻাāĻো āϞāĻে āϞāĻে āϏেāĻ āĻ াāĻāϤ āĻāĻĒāϏ্āĻĨিāϤ āĻš'āϞ āĻā§°ু āϤাā§° āĻĄেāĻāĻাā§°ে āĻš্ā§°āĻĻā§° āĻĒাāύীāϤ āĻোāĻŦাāĻ āĻুāĻāϤ āĻĒাāύী āĻāĻিāϝ়াāϞে।
The fire was put out.
āĻুāĻ āύুāĻŽাāĻ āĻ'āϞ।
The hunters made another fire and the kingfisher again put it out.
āĻিāĻাā§°ীāĻŦোā§°ে āĻāĻৌ āĻুāĻ āĻ্āĻŦāϞাāϞে āĻā§°ু āĻŽাāĻā§°োāĻাāĻোā§ąে āĻĒুāύ⧰ āϏেāϝ়া āύুāĻŽুā§ąাāϞে।
It was done for three to four times. The kingfisher got very tired.
āĻāύেāĻĻā§°ে āϤিāύি-āĻাā§°িāĻŦাā§° āĻā§°া āĻš'āϞ। āĻŽাāĻā§°োāĻাāĻো āĻŦā§° āĻাāĻā§°ি āĻĒā§°িāϞ।
Then the male hawk went to the turtle. The turtle quickly came at the location.
āϤাā§° āĻĒিāĻāϤ āĻŽāϤা āĻļেāύāĻো āĻাāĻāĻোā§° āĻāĻā§°āϞৈ āĻ'āϞ। āĻাāĻāĻো āĻā§°āĻেāĻĻাāĻৈ āϏেāĻ āĻ াāĻ āĻĒাāϞেāĻšি।
When he saw the burning fire, he dived into the water, collected some mud and with it put the fire out.
āϝেāϤিāϝ়া āϏি āĻ্āĻŦāϞি āĻĨāĻা āĻুāĻāĻুā§°া āĻĻেāĻিāϞে, āϏি āĻĒাāύীāϤ āĻĄুāĻŦ āĻŽাā§°িāϞে, āĻিāĻু āĻŦোāĻা āϏংāĻ্ā§°āĻš āĻā§°িāϞে āĻā§°ু āϤাā§°ে āĻুāĻāĻুā§°া āύুāĻŽুā§ąাāϞে।
As soon as the hunters saw the turtle, they wanted to kill it.
āĻিāĻাā§°ীāĻŦোā§°ে āĻাāĻāĻোāĻ āĻĻেāĻা āĻŽাāϤ্ā§°āĻে āĻāϝ়াāĻ āĻŽাā§°িāĻŦ āĻŦিāĻাā§°িāϞে।
So the turtle dived deep into the water to protect itself. It feared to come out again.
āϏেāϝ়েāĻšে āĻাāĻāĻোā§ąে āύিāĻāĻে ā§°āĻ্āώা āĻā§°িāĻŦāϞৈ āĻĒাāύীā§° āĻāĻীā§°āϞৈ āĻĄুāĻŦ āĻŽাā§°িāϞে। āĻ āĻĒুāύ⧰ āĻāϞাāĻ āĻāĻšিāĻŦāϞৈ āĻāϝ় āĻā§°িāϞে।
This time the male hawk flew to the lion for help.
āĻāĻāĻŦাā§° āĻŽāϤা āĻļেāύāĻো āϏāĻšাāϝ়ā§° āĻŦাāĻŦে āϏিংāĻšāĻোā§° āĻāĻā§°āϞৈ āĻā§°ি āĻ'āϞ।
In the meantime the hunters lighted another fire.
āĻāĻĢাāϞে āĻিāĻাā§°ীāĻŦোā§°ে āĻāύ āĻāĻুā§°া āĻুāĻ āĻ্āĻŦāϞাāϞে।
When the lion heard the story he came roaring at the place.
āϏিংāĻšāĻোā§ąে āϝেāϤিāϝ়া āĻাāĻšিāύীāĻো āĻļুāύিāϞে, āϏি āĻā§°্āĻāύ āĻā§°ি āϏেāĻ āĻ াāĻ āĻĒাāϞেāĻšি।
On hearing the lion's roar, the hunters cried out with fear and ran away.
āϏিংāĻšā§° āĻā§°্āĻāύ āĻļুāύি āĻিāĻাā§°ীāĻŦোā§°ে āĻāϝ়āϤ āĻিāĻā§°ি āĻāĻ িāϞ āĻā§°ু āĻĻৌā§°ি āĻĒāϞাāϞ।
At last the kingfisher and the turtle also came on the scene.

They appreciated the efforts made by all and lived happily thereafter.
