“Fine, thank you.”

2.                  “My sons,” said the old man, “A great treasure lies hidden in the estate I am about to leave you.” “Where is it hidden?” said the sons. “I am about to tell you,” said he. “But you must dig for it.” “Sure, we will”

3.                  “What’s your dream? Do you have any dream?” said Zayed. Robi said tenderly, “Yes, I have a dream. My dream is a full plate of rive”. “Come with me,” said Zayed holding his hand. “I’ll try my best to become regular from now.”

4.                  “Where is my son?” said the grocer. “A crow carried your son away,” said the fruit seller. “You liar. How can a crow carry away such a big boy?” “Just the same way as mice can eat away the balance and weights,” said the fruit seller.

5.                  “Good morning, Swapna”, said Ripon, “How much preparation have you taken for Test Exam?” “A great preparation”, replied she. “I can stand first”. “Wah, what a lucky girl! said Ripon, “But my preparation is not very nice.”

7.                  The giant looked at the fisherman and said. “Speak to me more politely or I’ll kill you.” “Why should you kill me?” asked the fisherman. “I’ve just freed you. Have you forgotten that?” “No, answered the giant, “But that’ll not stop me from killing you?”

8.                  “How can I help you?” said the police officer. “Last night while I was going home by a baby taxi, two snatchers suddenly rode into my baby taxi,” said Srijon. “Did they take anything from you?” “Yes they snatched away my cell phone and two thousand taka.” “Let me record your complaint.” “Thank you very much.”

9.                  “I’ll pay for it,” he said. “I broke it. I brought the axe down careless.” “But no one hits accurately every time, Jerry. Moreover, the fault was in the wood of the handle. I’ll see the man who I have bought it from,” I told him.

10.              “Will you buy my hair?” asked Della. “I buy hair,” said Madame. “Take your hat off and let’s have a sight at the looks of it.” “Twenty dollars,” said Madame. “Give it to me quick,” said Della.

11.               “Have you seen your mother, Jerry?” “I see her every summer. She sends for me.” “I wanted to cry out.” “Why are you not with her? How can she let you go away again?” He said, “She comes up here from Mannville whenever she can. She does not have a job now.

12.               “May I come in, sir?” A boy standing at the door said to him. Then without waiting for his reply the boy entered the room and said, “Sir, I have come from Palashpur with a letter from Mr Ajit Bose.” “Ajit Bose? How is he?” he said smiling. “He is not well. He has been suffering from a serious illness for two years,” the boy said. “How sad it is! May God cure him,” he said.
