27. The Liberation War    

The name of our country is Bangladesh. Before 1971 it was known as East Pakistan. Then we were the part of then Pakistan. They started to oppress us in many ways. They did not give our rights. On 25th March 1971 the Pakistani army invaded our mother land. They killed many people and injured a lot. Many women were tortured by them. Many people fled to India to survive. But people could not bear any more. They made themselves ready to protect the invaded army. Many common people, with the help of Indian government, fought against them. They fought for Liberation. So it is called Liberation War of Bangladesh. Then Sheikh Mujub was the leader and General Ataul Gani Osmani was the Army Chief. People fought for nine month and after nine month we received our liberation. But it took lives of more than thirty lakh of people. Now we are a free nation. We remember the freedom fighter with great respect.

28. Independence Day  

26 March, our Independence Day, is the biggest state festival. The day is celebrated every year in the country with great enthusiasm and fervour. It is a national holiday. All offices, educational institutions, shops and factories remain closed on this day. The day begins with 31 gunshots. Early in the morning the President and the Prime Minister on behalf of the nation place floral wreaths at the National Musolium at Savar. Then diplomats, political parties, social and cultural organizations, and freedom fighters pay homage to the martyrs. People from all walks of life also come there with rallies and processions. There are several cultural programmes throughout the day highlighting the heroic struggle and sacrifice in 1971.

29. Independence Day     

On 26 March, 1971 the independence of Bangladesh was declared and so this day is regarded as our Independence Day. It is a red letter day in our national history. The barbarous Pak army launched an inhumane attack on the innocent and peace-loving citizens of Bangladesh on the 25 March, 1071. They killed thousands of men and women and raped innumerable women. They also killed hundreds of intellectuals of the country. Hundreds of villages were razed to the ground and a large number of schools and colleges were destroyed by the occupation army. Our roads, railways, water-ways and air-ways were disrupted. Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was taken to an unknown place of west Pakisthan. The Bangladeshis realized their actual position when the independence of Bangladesh was declared on 26 March 1071. After nine months’ hard struggle, Bangladesh emerged as an independent country. On this day we pay profound tribute to the memory of the martyrs who laid down their lives for the sake of our independence. The government, different organizations and institutions chalk out various programmes to celebrate the day. Every year the day is observed in a befitting manner. The national flag is hoisted on all important offices, buildings, institutions and shops. All important places are well-decorated. In different places of Bangladesh, I think 26 March, 1971 initiated the Liberation War of Bangladesh. This is a symbol of our determination to survive as a prestigious nation. So, 26 March will be ever remembered and celebrated as the Independence Day in the history of Bangladesh.

30. May Day   

May Day or International Workers Day is observed on May 1 all over the world today to commemorate the historical struggle and sacrifices of the working people to establish an eight-hour workday. It is a public holiday in almost all the countries of the world. Since the Industrial Revolution(1) in the 18th and 19th centuries in Europe and the US, the workers in mills and factories had been working a long shift, fourteen or even more hours a day. On May 1st in 1886, inspired by the trade unions(2), half of the workers at the McCormic Harvester Company in Chicago went on strike demanding an eight-hour workday. Two days later, a workers’ rally was held near the McCormic Hervester Company and about 6000 workers had joined it. The rally was addressed by the labour leaders. They urged the workers to stand together, to go on with their struggle and not to give in to their bosses. Just at this moment some strikebreakers started leaving the meeting place. The strikers went down the street to bring them back. Suddenly about 200 policemen attacked them with clubs and revolvers. One striker was killed instantly, five or six others were seriously wounded and many of them were badly injured. The events of May 1, 1886 is a reminder that workers will continue to be exploited until they stand up and speak out to gain better working conditions, better pay and better lives.

31. Water Pollution    

Water pollution has become an important issue now a day. We know that water is one of the most important elements of human life and living being. But this most important water is polluted in various ways. Though water is most important for human beings, they are responsible for water pollution. Man pollutes water by throwing waste into it. There are many mills and factories in our country and most of them are situated near any river. They throw their waste products into rivers and pollute water. Bush and rubbish of urban area are also thrown into river. Water vehicles have no good sanitation system. They throw their human waste and other waste into water. At the same time many super tanker are damaged and water is polluted seeping water in the river. In country side and river ride, many latrines are hanging on the river. This is also the reason of water pollution. Farmers use chemical fertilizers for more production. These chemicals get mixed with rainy water and fall into river, canal and pond. For producing more fishes, people use cow dung and chemicals in the pond. It is also responsible for water pollution. But we should not remain idle in this situation. Because water is a must for human life. We all should be careful to keep our water pollution free.

31. The Six Blind Men    

Once there were six men. They were very curious to unknown things. But unfortunately they all were blind. One day they were passing through a jungle. There they met a teacher. They requested the teacher to teach them some thing. The teacher had an elephant. The blind men wanted to know what an elephant is and they wanted to feel it by touching. The teacher took them to the elephant. One of the blind men touched the leg of the elephant. He thought that an elephant is like tree. Who touched the ear, he thought that an elephant is like a fan. Who touched the trunk he thought that an elephant is like a pipe. By this way the six blind men received six types of ideas about an elephant. Next the teacher explained them that all of them were right but none of them could feel the real elephant because it was too big.

33. The Magician    

Once there was a famous magician named Frankel. He had a student named Hans. Hans was only 18 years old. Frankel wanted to teach Hans. He advised Hans to be patient and to do his work attentively. His duty was to clean the room. But Hans was very anxious. He wanted to learn magic soon. One day Hans entered the laboratory and found nobody. He thought of applying some magic though he had little knowledge. He took an object and followed the instruction from a book. Suddenly there came a brush which had legs and hands. The brush fetched water and flooded the floor. Hans ordered the brush to stop but it didn’t. Then Hans cut the brush into two pieces. The two pieces got new legs and hands. Next the two brushes became four. Hans was very afraid. The brushes were not following his instruction. Suddenly Mr. Frankel came there and took the situation under control. He again advised Hans to be patient and taught him that ‘a little learning is a dangerous thing’.
