 Father’s Help LCQ
SUMMARY 

Swaminathan is a young school going boy. On one  Monday morning, he was quite unwilling to attend school and pretended to be suffering from headache. Though his mother was willing to allow him to stay at home, his father who was very strict was not ready to accept any excuse and insisted him on going to school. Swaminathan thought of trying his best to avoid school. Finally he said that he would not attend late the class of Samuel, the mathematics teacher who gets particularly angry with the boys who comes late in school. Father suggester  that he would complain to the headmaster about it. Swami, in reply, told that even the headmaster was afraid of him. At this, Swami’s father did something unexpected. Writing a long letter about Samuel, the mathematics teacher, he put it into a sealed envelope and told Swami to give it to the headmaster.
As he entered the gate of the school, an idea occurred to him. He decided to give the letter to the headmaster at the end of the school. He reconsidered the description he had given to his father about his teacher and felt guilty. At the end of the school, he felt relieved when he could not deliver the letter as the headmaster was on leave.

স্বামীনাথন হল একটি অল্পবয়সি ছেলে যে স্কুলে যায়।সোমবার সকালে একটুও স্কুলে যেতে তার ইচ্ছে করছিল না এবং তাই সে মাথা যন্ত্রণার ভান করল। যদিও তার মা তাকে বাড়িতে থেকে যেতে দিতে রাজি হলেন।তার বাব,  যিনি ছিলেন খুব কড়া, কোন অজুহাত শুনতে চাইলেন না এবং তাকে স্কুলে যেতে জোর করলেন। স্বামীনাথন প্রাণপণ চেষ্টা করল তার স্কুলে যাওয়া আটকাতে বললো যে সে স্কুলে যাবে না কারণ প্রথমেই স্যামুয়েলের ক্লাস এবং তিনি বিশেষত সেই সব ছেলেদের উপর রাগ করেন যারা তাঁর ক্লাসে দেরি করে ঢোকে। বাবা উপদেশ দিলেন যে একথা হেডমাস্টারকে বলা উচিত তার। স্বামী তার উত্তরে বলল, যে এমনকি হেডমাস্টারও স্যামুয়েলকে ভয় পান। এই শুনে স্বামীর বাবা আচমকা একটা কাজ করে ফেললেন। অঙ্কের টিচার স্যামুয়েলের সম্বন্ধে এত লম্বা চিঠি লিখে খামে ভরে তা বন্ধ করে স্বামীকে বললেন হেডমাস্টারের হাতে খামটা দিতে।
যেই না স্বামী স্কুলের গেট দিয়ে ঢুকলো একটা কথা তার মাথায় এল। সে ঠিক করল, স্কুলের ছুটির পর সে চিঠিটা হেডমাস্টারকে দেবে। সারাদিনের মধ্যে স্যামুয়েলে এমন কিছু করে ফেলতেও পারে যার জন্য চিঠিটা উপযুক্ত জবাব হিসেবে প্রমাণিত হবে। সে যখন বার ভাবল যে তার শিক্ষকের কি পরিচয় সে তার বাবার কাছে তুলে ধরেছে, তখন তার নিজেকে অপরাধী মনে হচ্ছিল। স্কুলের শেষে সে স্বস্তি পেল যখন সে চিঠিটা হেডমাস্টারকে দিতে গিয়ে দেখল যে তিনি ছুটিতে আছেন।    

CENTRAL IDEA

The story tells us about the thoughts and feelings of a young mind. Children have their own world and they think in their own way. Their moods and ideas change frequently without causing any harm to anybody.

গল্পটি একটি বালকের মনের ভাবনা ও অনুভবগুলি তুলে ধরে। বাচ্চাদের একটি নিজস্ব দুনিয়া আছে এবং তারা নিজেদের মতো করেই ভাবে ও দেখে। তাদের মেজাজ ও ধারনা প্রায়শই বদলাতে থাকে, কারোর কোনো ক্ষতি না করে।
