Summary / Overview (āĻŽূāϞ āĻাā§ą)
The lesson A Precious Gift is presented as a heartfelt letter written by a boy named Nishant to his friend Rishika. In the letter, Nishant shares a life-changing incident involving his father, who met with a serious accident and lost a life-threatening amount of blood. His father's life was saved only because his uncle and a friend donated matching blood in time. This experience made Nishant realize the importance of blood donation and how ordinary people can save lives, just like doctors.
The lesson also provides valuable scientific knowledge about blood transfusion. It highlights the groundbreaking discovery of blood groups (A, B, O, and AB) by the Austrian scientist Karl Landsteiner in 1900, which made safe transfusions possible and earned him a Nobel Prize. The chapter encourages healthy individuals to donate blood, explaining that the human body easily replenishes the donated blood, making it a safe and incredibly precious gift to society.

Dear Rishika,
āĻŽā§°āĻŽā§° āĻāώিāĻা,
I'm so glad to have received your letter!

I was a little bit tense, but your letter cheered me up as it always does.
āĻŽāĻ āĻ āϞāĻĒ āĻিāύ্āϤিāϤ āĻšৈ āĻāĻিāϞোঁ, āĻিāύ্āϤু āϤোāĻŽাā§° āĻিāĻ িāĻāύে āĻŽোāĻ āϏāĻĻাāϝ়ā§° āĻĻā§°েāĻ āĻāύāύ্āĻĻিāϤ āĻā§°িāϞে।
Do you know, you are the only friend with whom I communicate through letters?
āϤুāĻŽি āĻাāύাāύে, āϤুāĻŽি āĻāĻāĻŽাāϤ্ā§° āĻŦāύ্āϧু āϝাā§° āϞāĻāϤ āĻŽāĻ āĻিāĻ িā§°ে āĻāĻĨা āĻĒাāϤোঁ?
With others, I chat or send messages on WhatsApp.

But the joy I get by reading your letters is something special.
āĻিāύ্āϤু āϤোāĻŽাā§° āĻিāĻ িāĻŦোā§° āĻĒāĻĸ়ি āĻŽāĻ āϝি āĻāύāύ্āĻĻ āĻĒাāĻঁ āϏেāϝ়া āĻিāĻŦা āĻŦিāĻļেāώ।
You know, my mother always encourages me to write letters.
āϤুāĻŽি āĻাāύা, āĻŽাāϝ়ে āĻŽোāĻ āϏāĻĻাāϝ় āĻিāĻ ি āϞিāĻিāĻŦāϞৈ āĻā§āϏাāĻšিāϤ āĻā§°ে।
She tells me, though it seems outdated now, in their time they used to write letters to their friends or relatives who live in other places.
āϤেāĻঁ āĻŽোāĻ āĻāϝ়, āϝāĻĻিāĻ āĻāϤিāϝ়া āĻāĻāĻো āĻĒুā§°āĻŖি āϝেāύ āϞাāĻে, āϤেāĻঁāϞোāĻā§° āϏāĻŽāϝ়āϤ āϤেāĻঁāϞোāĻে āĻāύ āĻ াāĻāϤ āĻĨāĻা āϤেāĻঁāϞোāĻā§° āĻŦāύ্āϧু āĻŦা āĻāϤ্āĻŽীāϝ়āϞৈ āĻিāĻ ি āϞিāĻিāĻিāϞ।
At first, I found it quite queer.
āĻĒ্ā§°āĻĨāĻŽāϤে, āĻŽোā§° āĻāĻāĻো āĻŦā§° āĻ āĻĻ্āĻুāϤ āϞাāĻিāĻিāϞ।
But after I started writing to you, I could also feel the warmth and joy that writing a letter and receiving one could give.
āĻিāύ্āϤু āϤোāĻŽাāϞৈ āĻিāĻ ি āϞিāĻিāĻŦāϞৈ āĻā§°āĻŽ্āĻ āĻā§°াā§° āĻĒিāĻāϤ, āĻŽāĻāĻ āĻিāĻ ি āϞিāĻা āĻā§°ু āĻĒোā§ąাā§° āĻŽā§°āĻŽ āĻā§°ু āĻāύāύ্āĻĻ āĻ āύুāĻā§ą āĻā§°িāĻŦ āĻĒাā§°িāĻোঁ।
Now, let me tell you why I was tense.
āĻāϤিāϝ়া āĻŽāĻ āĻāĻঁ āĻŽāĻ āĻিāϝ় āĻিāύ্āϤিāϤ āĻšৈ āĻāĻিāϞোঁ।
Last week something happened that gave me a new realization.
āϝোā§ąা āϏāĻĒ্āϤাāĻšāϤ āĻāύেāĻুā§ąা āĻিāĻŦা āĻāĻা āĻāĻিāĻিāϞ āϝিāϝ়ে āĻŽোāĻ āĻāĻ āύāϤুāύ āĻāĻĒāϞāĻŦ্āϧি āĻĻিāĻিāϞ।
Today, I want to share it with you.

It was about 4.30 p.m.
āϤেāϤিāϝ়া āĻĒ্ā§°াāϝ় ā§Ē:ā§Šā§Ļ āĻŦাāĻিāĻিāϞ।
I was taking some rest after coming back from school.
āĻŽāĻ āϏ্āĻুāϞ⧰ āĻĒā§°া āĻāĻšি āĻ āϞāĻĒ āĻিā§°āĻŖি āϞৈ āĻāĻিāϞোঁ।
Suddenly my mother came running and told me in a shaky voice that someone from the police station had called her and informed her that my father had had an accident.
āĻšāĻ াāϤে āĻŽা āĻĻৌā§°ি āĻāĻšিāϞ āĻā§°ু āĻঁāĻĒা āĻঁāĻĒা āĻŽাāϤেā§°ে āĻŽোāĻ āĻ'āϞে āϝে āĻĨাāύাā§° āĻĒā§°া āĻোāύোāĻŦাāĻ āϤেāĻঁāĻ āĻĢোāύ āĻā§°ি āĻāύাāĻāĻে āϝে āĻĻেāĻāϤাā§° āĻĻুā§°্āĻāĻāύা āĻšৈāĻে।
He was admitted to a hospital.

We all rushed to the hospital.

My uncle was also with us.
āĻŽোā§° āĻুāĻĄ়াāĻ āĻāĻŽাā§° āϞāĻāϤ āĻāĻিāϞ।
The doctor told us that my father had lost so much blood that he was in danger of losing his life.

We all felt helpless.
āĻāĻŽি āϏāĻāϞোā§ąে āĻ āϏāĻšাāϝ় āĻ āύুāĻā§ą āĻā§°িāĻিāϞোঁ।
The doctor said that unless he was given blood he would not survive.

Luckily my uncle's and his best friend's blood group matched with my father's.
āĻাāĻ্āϝāĻ্ā§°āĻŽে āĻŽোā§° āĻুāĻĄ়া āĻā§°ু āϤেāĻঁā§° āĻāĻাāĻāϤāĻৈ āĻাāϞ āĻŦāύ্āϧুā§° āϤেāĻā§° āĻ্ā§°ুāĻĒ āĻĻেāĻāϤাā§° āϞāĻāϤ āĻŽিāϞি āĻ'āϞ।
They donated the required amount of blood and my father was saved.

Before this incident, I hadn't realized that other people could also save someone's life apart from the doctors.
āĻāĻ āĻāĻāύাā§° āĻāĻāϤে, āĻŽāĻ āĻāĻĒāϞāĻŦ্āϧি āĻā§°া āύাāĻিāϞোঁ āϝে āĻĄাāĻ্āϤ⧰⧰ āĻāĻĒā§°িāĻ āĻāύ āĻŽাāύুāĻšেāĻ āĻাā§°োāĻŦাā§° āĻীā§ąāύ āĻŦāĻাāĻŦ āĻĒাā§°ে।
It was such a great realization for me!

Do you know that this process of channelling blood from one person to another is called a transfusion of blood.
āϤুāĻŽি āĻাāύাāύে āϝে āĻāĻāύ āĻŦ্āϝāĻ্āϤিā§° āĻĒā§°া āĻāύ āĻāĻāύ āĻŦ্āϝāĻ্āϤিāϞৈ āϤেāĻ āϏ⧰āĻŦā§°াāĻš āĻā§°া āĻāĻ āĻĒ্ā§°āĻ্ā§°িāϝ়াāĻোāĻ ā§°āĻ্āϤ āϏāĻ্āĻাā§°āĻŖ (transfusion of blood) āĻŦুāϞি āĻোā§ąা āĻšāϝ়।
Victims of accidents and patients who lose their blood due to any surgical procedure or other reasons are given such transfusion of blood.

Blood for such a transfusion is preserved in blood banks.

Whenever there is a need, one can get blood from the blood banks.

To keep the blood fresh for use, it is kept in cold chambers.

You know, any healthy person can donate blood.

In fact, hundreds of people donate their blood at regular intervals to various blood banks in our cities and towns.
āĻĒ্ā§°āĻৃāϤāϤে, āĻāĻŽাā§° āĻāĻšā§° āĻā§°ু āύāĻā§°āĻŦোā§°ā§° āĻŦিāĻিāύ্āύ āĻŦ্āϞাāĻĄ āĻŦেংāĻāϤ āĻļ āĻļ āϞোāĻে āύিāϝ়āĻŽীāϝ়াāĻৈ āϤেāĻ āĻĻাāύ āĻā§°ে।
This is such a noble cause!
āĻāĻāĻো āĻিāĻŽাāύ āĻāĻ āĻŽāĻšā§ āĻাāĻŽ!
So many lives can be saved if they get blood in time just like my father!

Actually, the human body is a remarkable machine; it functions in such a way that whatever blood has been taken from it is soon substituted by new blood replenished by the body's internal mechanism.
āĻāĻāϞāϤে, āĻŽাāĻ¨ā§ą āĻļā§°ীā§°āĻো āĻāĻ āĻāĻā§°িāϤ āϝāύ্āϤ্ā§°; āĻ āĻāύেāĻĻā§°ে āĻাāĻŽ āĻā§°ে āϝে āĻāϝ়াā§° āĻĒā§°া āϝিāĻিāύি āϤেāĻ āϞোā§ąা āĻšāϝ় āϏেāϝ়া āĻ āϤি āϏোāύāĻাāϞেāĻ āĻļā§°ীā§°ā§° āĻিāϤ⧰ুā§ąা āĻĒ্ā§°āĻ্ā§°িāϝ়াā§° āĻĻ্āĻŦাā§°া āύāϤুāύ āϤেāĻেā§°ে āĻĒুāύ⧰ āĻĒূā§°āĻŖ āĻšৈ āϝাāϝ়।
So, it is totally harmless for a healthy person to donate blood.

Then, tell me, who would not love to present such a precious gift?

However, doctors test the blood before a transfusion.

If the blood group matches and if there are no other harmful substances in the blood then only such blood is considered to be fit for a transfusion.

This method of taking out blood and giving it to needy patients was developed in 1914.
āĻŽাāύুāĻšā§° āĻĒā§°া āϤেāĻ āĻāϞিāϝ়াāĻ āĻĒ্ā§°āϝ়োāĻāύ āĻšোā§ąা ā§°োāĻীāĻ āĻĻিāϝ়াā§° āĻāĻ āĻĒāĻĻ্āϧāϤিāĻো ⧧⧝⧧ā§Ē āĻāύāϤ āĻā§ąিāώ্āĻাā§° āĻā§°া āĻšৈāĻিāϞ।
Before that also doctors had tried this process but in vain.

Those early doctors who tried a transfusion of blood found that some patients died after such transfusion and some others survived.

Finally, in 1900, the Austrian scientist Karl Landsteiner solved the mystery after years of hard work.
āĻļেāώāϤ, ⧧⧝ā§Ļā§Ļ āĻāύāϤ āĻ āώ্āĻ্ā§°িāϝ়াā§° āĻŦিāĻ্āĻাāύী āĻাā§°্āϞ āϞেāĻŖ্āĻĄāώ্āĻেāĻāύাā§°ে āĻŦāĻā§° āĻŦāĻā§° āϧ⧰ি āĻā§°া āĻāĻ োā§° āĻĒā§°িāĻļ্ā§°āĻŽā§° āĻŽূā§°āϤ āĻāĻ ā§°āĻšāϏ্āϝ⧰ āϏāĻŽাāϧাāύ āĻā§°ে।
Later in 1930, he received the Nobel Prize for medicine for this.
āĻĒিāĻāϤ ā§§ā§¯ā§Šā§Ļ āĻāύāϤ āϤেāĻঁ āĻāϝ়াā§° āĻŦাāĻŦে āĻিāĻিā§āϏা āĻŦিāĻ্āĻাāύ⧰ āύ'āĻŦেāϞ āĻŦঁāĻা āϞাāĻ āĻā§°ে।
Landsteiner showed that the particles in human blood varied from person to person.
āϞেāĻŖ্āĻĄāώ্āĻেāĻāύাā§°ে āĻĻেāĻুā§ąাāĻāĻিāϞ āϝে āĻŽাāύুāĻšā§° āϤেāĻā§° āĻāĻŖিāĻাāĻŦোā§° āĻāĻāύ⧰ āĻĒā§°া āĻāύāĻāύāϞৈ āĻŦেāϞেāĻ āĻŦেāϞেāĻ āĻšāϝ়।
Based on this, he divided human blood into four groups, A, B, O, and AB.
āĻāϝ়াā§° āĻāĻĒā§°āϤ āĻিāϤ্āϤি āĻā§°ি āϤেāĻঁ āĻŽাāύুāĻšā§° āϤেāĻāĻ āĻাā§°িāĻা āĻ্ā§°ুāĻĒāϤ āĻাāĻ āĻā§°িāĻিāϞ- A, B, O, āĻā§°ু AB।
So, a person cannot just take anyone's blood: their blood groups must match to start a transfusion.
āĻāϤিāĻে, āĻāĻāύ āĻŽাāύুāĻšে āϝিāĻোāύো āĻŽাāύুāĻšā§° āϤেāĻ āϞ'āĻŦ āύোā§ąাā§°ে: āϤেāĻ āϏāĻ্āĻাā§°āĻŖ āĻā§°āĻŽ্āĻ āĻā§°িāĻŦāϞৈ āϤেāĻঁāϞোāĻā§° āϤেāĻā§° āĻ্ā§°ুāĻĒ āĻŽিāϞিāĻŦ āϞাāĻিāĻŦ।
When the blood of the wrong group is transfused, the result will be life-threatening.

Thank God! my uncle's and his friend's blood group matched with my father's and everything was fine.

Another important thing is that some people cannot donate blood.

People who are diabetic or suffering from another blood-related disease cannot donate blood.

If the blood group of a particular person who wants to donate blood to another person does not match, he can donate a unit to the blood bank, no matter what his or her blood group is.

The blood bank in turn will arrange a matching unit available in the blood bank to the needy patient.

Writing Activity: Final English Stories
Suddenly, he got a clever idea. He ordered his guards, "Cut the child into two equal pieces and give half to each woman". Hearing this terrible order, the first woman remained completely silent. However, the second woman started crying out of fear for the baby's life. She immediately gave up her claim and begged the judge, "Please, my lord! Don't cut the child. Give the baby to her, but let him live".
The judge immediately knew who the real mother was. He decided to give the baby safely to the second woman because a real mother would never let her child die. He then punished the other woman for lying.
Moral: A mother's love is true and selfless. / Truth always wins.
However, he saw that there was very little water inside the jug. He tried to drink it, but his beak could not reach the water. He tried very hard but failed. He became sad and almost lost hope.
Just then, he saw a small mound of pebbles lying on the ground nearby. A clever idea came to his mind. He picked up the pebbles one by one with his beak and dropped them into the jug. Slowly, the water in the jug rose up. When the water reached the brim, the crow became very happy. He drank the water to his heart's content and flew away happily.
Moral: Where there is a will, there is a way.
