āĻĒāĻĸ়াā§° āφāĻ—āϤে

Have you read any adventurous story?

āϤুāĻŽি āĻ•োāύো āĻĻুঃāϏাāĻšāϏিāĻ• āĻ•াāĻšিāύী āĻĒāĻĸ়িāĻ›াāύে?

Have you read any book of Mark Twain?

"Tom, Tom!" Aunt Polly was searching for Tom everywhere inside the house.

"āϟāĻŽ, āϟāĻŽ!" āĻĒেāĻšীāϝ়েāĻ• āĻĒāϞিāϝ়ে āϘ⧰⧰ āĻ­িāϤ⧰āϤ āϏāĻ•āϞোāϤে āϟāĻŽāĻ• āĻŦিāϚাā§°ি āφāĻ›িāϞ।

"Well, if I get hold of you, I'll..." Aunt said.

āĻĒেāĻšীāϝ়েāĻ•ে āĻ•’āϞে, "āĻŦাā§°ু, āϝāĻĻি āĻŽāχ āϤোāĻŽাāĻ• āϧ⧰িāĻŦ āĻĒাā§°োঁ, āĻŽāχ..."

She was really tired of this boy and of his mischief.

āϤাāχ āĻāχ āϞ'ā§°াāϟো āφ⧰ু āϤাā§° āĻĻুāώ্āϟাāĻŽিā§° āĻĒā§°া āϏঁāϚাāĻ•ৈāϝ়ে āφāĻŽāύি āĻĒাāχāĻ›িāϞ।

Just then she heard a little noise behind her.

āĻ িāĻ• āϏেāχ āϏāĻŽāϝ়āϤে āϤাāχ āύিāϜ⧰ āĻĒিāĻ›āĻĢাāϞে āĻāϟা āϏ⧰ু āĻļāĻŦ্āĻĻ āĻļুāύিāĻŦāϞৈ āĻĒাāϞে।

She turned just in time and caught hold of him.

āϤাāχ āĻ িāĻ• āϏāĻŽāϝ়āϤে āϘূā§°ি āϚাāϞে āφ⧰ু āϤাāĻ• āϧ⧰ি āĻĒেāϞাāϞে।

"What are you doing here?" Aunt said.

"āϤুāĻŽি āχāϝ়াāϤ āĻ•ি āϕ⧰ি āφāĻ›া?" āĻĒেāĻšীāϝ়েāĻ•ে āϏুāϧিāϞে।

"Nothing Aunt, just nothing," Tom replied.

"āĻāĻ•ো āύাāχ āĻĒেāĻšী, āĻāĻ•োā§ąেāχ āύাāχ," āϟāĻŽে āωāϤ্āϤ⧰ āĻĻিāϞে।

"What is there in your mouth? Oh, it's jam. Now I understand what you were doing here," Aunt Polly gave him a stern look.

"āϤোāĻŽাā§° āĻŽুāĻ–āϤ āϏেāχāϟো āĻ•ি? āĻ…’, āĻāχāϟো āϜে’āĻŽ। āĻāϤিāϝ়া āĻŽāχ āĻŦুāϜিāϞোঁ āϤুāĻŽি āχāϝ়াāϤ āĻ•ি āϕ⧰ি āφāĻ›িāϞা," āĻĒেāĻšী āĻĒāϞিāϝ়ে āϤাā§° āĻĢাāϞে āĻ•āĻ োā§° āĻĻৃāώ্āϟিā§°ে āϚাāϞে।

Suddenly Tom said, "Oh, look behind you, Aunt."

āĻšāĻ াāϤে āϟāĻŽে āĻ•'āϞে, "āĻ…', āĻĒেāĻšী, āφāĻĒোāύাā§° āĻĒিāĻ›āĻĢাāϞে āϚাāĻ“āĻ•āϚোāύ।"

Aunt whirled around and Tom fled before Aunt could realize what had happened.

āĻĒেāĻšীāϝ়েāĻ• āϘূā§°ি āϚাāϞে āφ⧰ু āĻ•ি āϘāϟিāĻ›ে āϏেāϝ়া āĻĒেāĻšীāϝ়েāĻ•ে āĻŦুāϜি āĻĒোā§ąাā§° āφāĻ—āϤেāχ āϟāĻŽ āĻĒāϞাāχ āĻ—'āϞ।

But in spite of all his mischief Aunt Polly loved him.

āĻ•িāύ্āϤু āϤাā§° āχāĻŽাāύ āĻĻুāώ্āϟাāĻŽিā§° āĻĒিāĻ›āϤো āĻĒেāĻšী āĻĒāϞিāϝ়ে āϤাāĻ• āĻŽā§°āĻŽ āϕ⧰িāĻ›িāϞ।

Tom was the only son of her dead sister.

āϟāĻŽ āφāĻ›িāϞ āϤাāχ⧰ āĻŽৃāϤ āĻ­āύীāϝ়েāϕ⧰ āĻāĻ•āĻŽাāϤ্ā§° āĻĒুāϤ্ā§°।

She was very fond of him.

āϤাāχ āϤাāĻ• āĻŦā§° āĻŽā§°āĻŽ āϕ⧰িāĻ›িāϞ।

She decided to make him work the next day as it was a Saturday.

āĻĒিāĻ›āĻĻিāύাāĻ–āύ āĻļāύিāĻŦাā§° āĻšোā§ąাā§° āĻŦাāĻŦে āϤাāχ āϤাāĻ• āĻ•াāĻŽāϤ āϞāĻ—োā§ąাā§° āϏিāĻĻ্āϧাāύ্āϤ āϞ'āϞে।

She said to herself "Tom is to be kept busy so that he can't waste time idly."

āϤাāχ āύিāϜāĻ•ে āĻ•’āϞে "āϟāĻŽāĻ• āĻŦ্āϝāϏ্āϤ āϕ⧰ি ā§°াāĻ–িāĻŦ āϞাāĻ—িāĻŦ āϝাāϤে āϏি āĻāϞেāĻšুā§ąাāĻ­াā§ąে āϏāĻŽāϝ় āύāώ্āϟ āϕ⧰িāĻŦ āύোā§ąাā§°ে।"

She called Tom and ordered him to whitewash the fence the next day.

āϤাāχ āϟāĻŽāĻ• āĻŽাāϤিāϞে āφ⧰ু āĻĒিāĻ›āĻĻিāύাāĻ–āύ āϜেāω⧰াāϤ āϚূāĻŖ āϏাāύিāĻŦāϞৈ āφāĻĻেāĻļ āĻĻিāϞে।

It was a fine Saturday morning.

āϏেāχāϟো āφāĻ›িāϞ āĻāϟা āϏুāύ্āĻĻā§° āĻļāύিāĻŦাā§°ā§° ā§°াāϤিāĻĒুā§ąা।

Tom came out of the house with a bucket of whitewash and a long handled brush.

āϟāĻŽে āĻāĻŽাāϟি āϚূāĻŖ āφ⧰ু āĻāĻĄাāϞ āĻĻীāϘāϞ āύাāϞ⧰ āĻŦ্ā§°াāĻ› āϞৈ āϘ⧰⧰ āĻĒā§°া āĻ“āϞাāχ āφāĻšিāϞ।

He looked at the fence lazily and then dipped his brush and started whitewashing the topmost plank of the fence.

āϏি āĻāϞেāĻšুā§ąাāĻ­াā§ąে āϜেāω⧰াāĻ–āύāϞৈ āϚাāϞে āφ⧰ু āϤাā§°āĻĒিāĻ›āϤ āĻŦ্ā§°াāĻ›āĻĄাāϞ āϜুāĻŦুā§°িāϝ়াāχ āϜেāω⧰াāĻ–āύ⧰ āĻāĻ•েāĻŦাā§°ে āĻ“āĻĒā§°ā§° āĻ•াāĻ āĻĄাāϞāϤ āϚূāĻŖ āϏাāύিāĻŦāϞৈ āφ⧰āĻŽ্āĻ­ āϕ⧰িāϞে।

After doing this several times, he felt tired and bored.

āĻāχ āĻ•াāĻŽāϟো āĻ•েāχāĻŦাāĻŦাā§°ো āϕ⧰াā§° āĻĒিāĻ›āϤ, āϏি āĻ­াāĻ—ā§°ুā§ąা āφ⧰ু āĻŦিā§°āĻ•্āϤ āĻ…āύুāĻ­ā§ą āϕ⧰িāϞে।

He knew all his friends would be playing or swimming on that Saturday.

āϏি āϜাāύিāĻ›িāϞ āϝে āϏেāχ āĻļāύিāĻŦাā§°ে āϤাā§° āϏāĻ•āϞো āĻŦāύ্āϧুā§ąে āĻ–েāϞি āĻĨাāĻ•িāĻŦ āĻŦা āϏাঁāϤুā§°ি āĻĨাāĻ•িāĻŦ।

And he ...? Oh! How badly he wanted to go out and enjoy like the other boys!

āφ⧰ু āϏি...? āĻ…'! āφāύ āϞ'ā§°াāĻŦোā§°ā§° āĻĻā§°ে āĻŦাāĻšিā§°āϞৈ āĻ—ৈ āĻĢুā§°্āϤি āϕ⧰িāĻŦāϞৈ āϤাā§° āĻ•িāĻŽাāύ āϝে āĻŽāύ āĻ—ৈāĻ›িāϞ!

Just then Tom saw Jim.

āĻ িāĻ• āϏেāχ āϏāĻŽāϝ়āϤে āϟāĻŽে āϜিāĻŽāĻ• āĻĻেāĻ–িāϞে।

Jim worked for Aunt Polly.

āϜিāĻŽে āĻĒেāĻšী āĻĒāϞিā§° āĻŦাāĻŦে āĻ•াāĻŽ āϕ⧰িāĻ›িāϞ।

He came with a tin pail to fetch water from the town pump.

Though Tom hated this work, he found Jim's work better than his that day because there could be other children playing near the town pump.

āϝāĻĻিāĻ“ āϟāĻŽে āĻāχ āĻ•াāĻŽāϟো āϘিāĻŖ āϕ⧰িāĻ›িāϞ, āϤāĻĨাāĻĒিāĻ“ āϏি āϏেāχāĻĻিāύা āϤাā§° āĻ•াāĻŽāϤāĻ•ৈ āϜিāĻŽā§° āĻ•াāĻŽāϟোā§ąেāχ āĻŦেāĻ›ি āĻ­াāϞ āϝেāύ āĻĒাāϞে āĻ•াā§°āĻŖ āϚāĻšā§°ā§° āĻĒাāĻŽ্āĻĒāϟোā§° āĻ“āϚ⧰āϤ āφāύ āϞ'ā§°া-āĻ›োā§ąাāϞীāϝ়ে āĻ–েāϞি āĻĨাāĻ•িāĻŦ āĻĒাā§°ে।

He made a plan and offered Jim to fetch water for him.

āϏি āĻāϟা āĻĒā§°িāĻ•āϞ্āĻĒāύা āϕ⧰িāϞে āφ⧰ু āϜিāĻŽāĻ• āϤাā§° āĻšৈ āĻĒাāύী āφāύিāĻŦāϞৈ āĻĒ্ā§°āϏ্āϤাā§ą āĻĻিāϞে।

But before they could come to a conclusion Jim heard the sound of Aunt Polly's slippers and he flew down the street with his pail.

āĻ•িāύ্āϤু āϤেāĻ“ঁāϞোāĻ•ে āĻ•োāύো āϏিāĻĻ্āϧাāύ্āϤāϤ āωāĻĒāύীāϤ āĻšোā§ąাā§° āφāĻ—āϤেāχ āϜিāĻŽে āĻĒেāĻšী āĻĒāϞিā§° āϚেāĻŖ্āĻĄেāϞ⧰ āĻļāĻŦ্āĻĻ āĻļুāύিāϞে āφ⧰ু āϏি āĻŦাāϞ্āϟিāϟো āϞৈ ā§°াāϏ্āϤাā§°ে āĻĻৌā§°ি āĻĒāϞাāϞ।

Poor Tom! He again started whitewashing the fence.

āĻŦেāϚেā§°া āϟāĻŽ! āϏি āφāĻ•ৌ āϜেāω⧰াāĻ–āύāϤ āϚূāĻŖ āϏাāύিāĻŦāϞৈ āφ⧰āĻŽ্āĻ­ āϕ⧰িāϞে।

A few minutes later he saw Ben come up the road.

He was eating an apple.

āϏি āĻāϟা āφāĻĒেāϞ āĻ–াāχ āφāĻ›িāϞ।

Tom did not pay attention to him and pretended as if he were absorbed in his work.

āϟāĻŽে āϤাā§° āĻĢাāϞে āĻ—ুā§°ুāϤ্āĻŦ āύিāĻĻিāϞে āφ⧰ু āĻāύেāĻ•ুā§ąা āĻ­াāĻ“ āϧ⧰িāϞে āϝেāύ āϏি āύিāϜ⧰ āĻ•াāĻŽāϤ āĻŽāĻ—্āύ āĻšৈ āφāĻ›ে।

Ben came near him and teased him for working on a holiday.

Tom suddenly looked at him in surprise.

āϟāĻŽে āĻšāĻ াāϤে āφāϚ⧰িāϤ āĻšৈ āϤাā§° āĻĢাāϞে āϚাāϞে।

"Oh, Ben! I didn't notice you," Tom said.

"āĻ…', āĻŦেāύ! āĻŽāχ āϤোāĻŽাāĻ• āĻŽāύ āϕ⧰াāχ āύাāĻ›িāϞো," āϟāĻŽে āĻ•'āϞে।

Ben told him that he was going for a swim.

āĻŦেāύে āϤাāĻ• āĻ•'āϞে āϝে āϏি āϏাঁāϤুā§°িāĻŦāϞৈ āĻ—ৈ āφāĻ›ে।

He thought Tom would be jealous of it.

But Tom said, "Oh no! I can't leave this chance to whitewash. It's so enjoyable!"

āĻ•িāύ্āϤু āϟāĻŽে āĻ•'āϞে, "āĻ…' āύāĻšāϝ়! āĻŽāχ āϚূāĻŖ āϏāύাā§° āĻāχ āϏুāϝোāĻ—āϟো āĻā§°িāĻŦ āύোā§ąাā§°োঁ। āĻāχāϟো āĻŦāĻšুāϤ āφāύāύ্āĻĻāĻĻাāϝ়āĻ•!"

Saying this he was again absorbed in his work.

This time Ben was tempted and said, "Please let me whitewash a little, Tom."

āĻāχāĻŦাā§° āĻŦেāύ āĻĒ্ā§°āϞোāĻ­িāϤ āĻš'āϞ āφ⧰ু āĻ•'āϞে, "āĻ…āύুāĻ—্ā§°āĻš āϕ⧰ি āĻŽোāĻ•ো āĻ…āϞāĻĒ āϚূāĻŖ āϏাāύিāĻŦāϞৈ āĻĻিāϝ়াāϚোāύ, āϟāĻŽ।"

"No, no, I can't. It has to be done very carefully, Ben. Everyone can't do it."

"āύāĻšāϝ়, āύāĻšāϝ়, āĻŽāχ āύোā§ąাā§°োঁ। āĻāχāϟো āĻŦā§° āϏাā§ąāϧাāύে āϕ⧰িāĻŦ āϞাāĻ—িāĻŦ, āĻŦেāύ। āϏāĻ•āϞোā§ąে āĻāχāϟো āϕ⧰িāĻŦ āύোā§ąাā§°ে।"

Ben got more tempted.

āĻŦেāύ āφ⧰ু āĻŦেāĻ›ি āĻĒ্ā§°āϞোāĻ­িāϤ āĻšৈ āĻĒā§°িāϞ।

"Please Tom, only once. I'll give you my apple in return," Ben pleaded.

"āĻ…āύুāĻ—্ā§°āĻš āϕ⧰ি āϟāĻŽ, āĻŽাāϤ্ā§° āĻāĻŦাā§°। āĻŽāχ āχāϝ়াā§° āĻŦিāύিāĻŽāϝ়āϤ āϤোāĻŽাāĻ• āĻŽোā§° āφāĻĒেāϞāϟো āĻĻিāĻŽ," āĻŦেāύে āĻ…āύুā§°োāϧ āϕ⧰িāϞে।

Tom was pleased at the success of his plan. He said, "Okay, but be careful."

āϟāĻŽে āϤাā§° āĻĒā§°িāĻ•āϞ্āĻĒāύাā§° āϏāĻĢāϞāϤাāϤ āφāύāύ্āĻĻিāϤ āĻš'āϞ। āϏি āĻ•'āϞে, "āĻ িāĻ• āφāĻ›ে, āĻ•িāύ্āϤু āϏাā§ąāϧাāύ āĻš'āĻŦা।"

Ben started whitewashing the fence with great enthusiasm.

Thus when Ben painted the fence in the sun, Tom sat comfortably in the shade of a tree and started munching on the partly eaten apple.

āĻāύেāĻĻā§°ে āĻŦেāύে ā§°'āĻĻāϤ āϜেāω⧰াāĻ–āύāϤ āϚূāĻŖ āϏাāύি āĻĨাāĻ•োঁāϤে, āϟāĻŽে āĻ—āϛ⧰ āĻ›াঁāϤ āφ⧰াāĻŽেā§°ে āĻŦāĻšি āφāϧাāĻ–োā§ąা āφāĻĒেāϞāϟো āϚোāĻŦাāĻŦāϞৈ āϧ⧰িāϞে।

He was pleased and satisfied to see that his plan had worked.

After some time Ben saw Billy Fisher coming towards them.

By now Ben became tired.

He felt for some rest.

āϏি āĻ…āϞāĻĒ āϜিā§°āĻŖি āϞ'āĻŦ āĻŦিāϚাā§°িāϞে।

So, he wanted to play the same trick on Billy Fisher.

āϏেāϝ়েāĻšে, āϏি āĻŦিāϞি āĻĢিāĻ›াā§°ā§° āϞāĻ—āϤো āĻāĻ•েāχ āĻĢিāĻ•িā§° (āĻ•ৌāĻļāϞ) āϕ⧰িāĻŦ āĻŦিāϚাā§°িāϞে।

Ben tempted Billy to whitewash the fence.

But Tom was watching the whole thing.

He asked Billy Fisher to give him something in return for getting the chance of whitewashing.

Billy had to give a kite to Tom for this opportunity.

Another boy Johnny Miller also took the chance of whitewashing offering Tom a dead rat.

By the afternoon Tom collected twelve marbles, a piece of chalk, a tin soldier, a couple of tadpoles, a kitten, the handle of a knife and six firecrackers.
