How The Little Kite Learned to Fly Bengali Meaning | Lesson 6 | Class 6 English
“I never can do it”, the little kite said,
“আমি কখনই এটি করতে পারি না”, ছোটো ঘুড়িটি বলেছিল,
As he looked at the other things high over his head.
যখন সে তার মাথার উঁচুতে অন্যান্য জিনিসগুলির দিকে তাকাল।
“I know I should fall if I tried to fly.”
“আমি জানি উড়তে চেষ্টা করলে আমার পড়ে যাওয়া উচিত।”
“Try”, said the big kite,” only try!
“চেষ্টা কর”, বড় ঘুড়ি বলল, “শুধু চেষ্টা কর!
Or I fear you never will learn at all.”
অথবা আমার আশঙ্কা তুমি কখনই কিছু শিখবে না।”
But the little kite said: “I’m afraid I’ll fall.”
কিন্তু ছোটো ঘুড়িটি বলল: “আমি ভয় পাচ্ছি আমি পড়ে যাব”
The big kite nodded: “Ah, well, goodbye;”
বড় ঘুড়ি মাথা নাড়াল: “আহা, ভাল, বিদায়;”
I am off.” And he rose toward their tranquil sky.
আমি চলে গেলাম। “এবং সে তাদের শান্ত আকাশের দিকে উঠল।
Then the little kite’s paper stirred at the sight.
তারপর ছোটো ঘুড়ির কাগজটি দৃষ্টিতে আন্দোলিত হল।
And trembling he shook himself free for flight
এবং ভয়ে কাঁপতে কাঁপতে ওড়ার জন্য সে নিজেকে মুক্ত করে দিলো
First whirling and frightened, then braver grown,
প্রথমে পাক খেল এবং ভয় পেল, তারপরে সাহস বেড়ে গেল,
Up, up he rose through the air alone,
বাতাসে সে একা উপরে, আরও উপরে উঠতে লাগল।
Till the big kite looking down could see
যতক্ষণ না বড় ঘুড়িটি নিচে তাকিয়ে দেখতে পেল
The little one rising steadily.
ছোটোটি স্থিরভাবে উপরে উঠছে।
Then how the little kite thrilled with pride,
তারপর ছোটো ঘুড়িটি কেমন করে গর্বে শিহরিত হয়েছিল,
As he sailed with the big kite side by side!
যখন সে বড় ঘুড়িটির সঙ্গে পাশাপাশি চলছিল!
While far below he could see the ground,
সেই সময় অনেক নিচে সে মাটি দেখতে পেল,
And the boys like small spots moving round.
আর ছেলেরা ছোট ছোট দাগের মতো ছোটাছুটি করছে।
They rested high in the quiet air,
তারা শান্ত বাতাসে উঁচুতে বিশ্রাম নিল,
And only the birds and clouds were there.
এবং সেখানে শুধুমাত্র পাখি এবং মেঘ ছিল।
“Oh, how happy I am,” the little kite cried.
“ওহ, আমি কত খুশি” ছোটো ঘুড়িটি চিত্কার করে বলল।
“And all because I was brave and tried.”
“এবং এই সব সম্ভব হল কারণ আমি সাহসী ছিলাম এবং চেষ্টা করেছিলাম।”
