The script of half yearly exam has published today.
Bablu has gotten eight and half marks. Not just this, Dhiren sir has also written largely with the red pencil in the script,
‘Cow’ What a downfall.

Bablu overturned the script so that nobody can see the written thing ‘cow’. But Dhiren sir said with cloudy voice, stand up on this bench.

Bablu stood up on this bench.
‘Show your math script everybody what I have written. He showed the script everybody with black face. Somebody laughed sitting on the first bench. Dhiren sir started roaring. ‘Hey’ who is laughing! I shall sew your face.

Everybody stopped laughing within a moment. Everybody fear of Dhiren sir like a restraint. Everybody calls him a restraint sir secretly. There made again the giggling sound on the first bench Dhiren sir started roaring. If I hear the sound of laugh again. then I shall open your teeth with slaps: Hey! is it a theatre?theclass silented completely. Dhiren sir said, with subsiding voice, hey Bablu, you will have stood on the bench till the sell ring.

Bablu looked at the outside of the window apathetically. It’s not so difficult to stand on the bench for one hour . But every moment Bablu felt his body throny thinking that what will he say to his father after returning home. Father is not easy person at all. Master like Dhiren sir is also suckling baby to him needless to say that the earthquake will occur in the house today. Bablu started perspiring in this cold weather. Bablu couldn’t think. How did themath subject includein the study?What’s the benefit to learn math? Its all right, But climbing within a munite whats need of slip away within two munites? Bablu left a long breath.
The school broke up at5 P.M. without returning home Bablu sat in the veranda of the school with saddy face. ‘Go home little brother. Said the record keeper of the school namad Anis Mia.’ 

Bablu said, I shall stay here today.
‘what are you saying brother; what’s the matter?
‘It’s nothing. you run away.
 Anis Mia said with laugh.’ you have failed in the exam if nobody comes to receive you, you will not go. Right?’ Anis Mia started laughing opening his mouth. Bablu came out from the school quickly. He sat lonely under the berry tree.

The place is very silent. All around the place became pitch dark within a moment. May be to show fear to Bablu a large member of cricket started chirping together. The sound huh! huh!, started coming from the lake. The copse of the right side seems to move . Bablu started wiping his eyes incessantly in the long sleeve of his shirt.

‘Hey! boy, why are you crying?
Nothing is clearly visible in this dark. It seems to Bablu that someone who is very tall has stood near the copse. There is like a heavey bag in his hand. There is also a wallet tied with the less in his back.
‘Hey! little boy, what happens?’
Bablu said with sobbing voice , ‘I have gotten eight and half marks in the math exam.’
‘Oh! its the matter?’
Yes, and Dhiren sir has also writen the word cow’ in my script.
Bablu gave him the script. The man took the script coming forward. He is so tall. Inspite of being this darkness almost all the part of his face has been covered with a large sunglasses.
The man said seriously, ‘It is injusticed to write the word ‘cow’ on the script. It has been insinuated directly of the sense. After that what’s  need to write so largely like this? It was enough to write .secretely’
Bablu started crying loudly.
‘Uh! you will not cry. Its not a time to cry. we have to think now what to do? we have to think with cool head’.
Bablu said softly, ‘I shall rather go to school, nor home. I shall spend the rest of my life sitting under the berry tree.
Or, I shall go  to Bilat becoming a sailor.’
‘Your plan is not bad. But it is not right to do anything quickly. you have to think cold head. your name is unknown to me.’
‘My name is Bablu. I read in class vii. Who are you?’
‘My name is Hoiyetsoon’.
‘What did you say?’
‘May be I am a foreigner. so my name is little strange.’
‘What do you do?’
‘I am a tourist. I visit.’
Bablu said curiously, ‘where is your country’?
‘Come with me I am showing you.’
‘Hoiyetsoon showed him (B) at the sky with his finger. ‘you are watching that shadow, shadow that is milky way, Galaxy.’
Milky way Galaxy. Like a spring . There is a disk of the sun in the middle of this way. we called it ‘Noiyuttini’. I lived in the nine number planet.’
Bablu sat a little for from him. Is he a mad ! He is speaking like a good man.
‘Have you understood Bablu, actually we live so nearly. The world is also included in this milky way Galaxy. Ha ! Ha! Ha!’
‘Do you speak in Bengali?’
‘Uh! I have a translator instrument so I am speaking with you in Bengali.’
He showed him signly a round box. The box is hanging near his shoulder. A buzzing sound like a mosquito is coming from there.
By the help of this instrument the language of any intellectual  animal can be understand and can be speak in that language.
There are such a library of different types of sounds and various system of syntax in the neuron of animal brain this instrument can preserve.
Bablu felt a little fear. The man said that, ‘The crickets are chirping all around, ‘What are they saying you could understand?’ 

if I hang this instrument in your shoulder. may I?
Bablu said with fear, ‘yes, but is there any possibility to be pained? 
‘Uh! may be your head will be pained. Hang it.’
As soon as Hoiyetsoon settled the instrument in the shoulder of Bablu he (B) started listening the crickets ore speaking. ‘We want insects. we want insects to eat’
‘why there two ore not going? What are they doing? What are they doing’?
‘What are these two man doing?
‘We want insects, insects, insects’.
Bablu became paralysed. The man said, they don’t speak like human. They make sound closing their wings each other. There are such a media to exchange their contemplation in this animal planet! Bablu was not paying attention to his word. Because, he could listen clearly that there are whispering in the rest on the berry tree.

‘Ah, What babbling these two man have started? Won’t they sleep to us?’

‘You are right. There is no common sense in human being. They are great fool.’
‘These birds started giggling saying this.’
The man said, ‘Let the instrument be put off now Bablu. You have no habit so you so you will feel headache.’
Bablu said ‘will they understand if I talk now with them?’
They may understand one or two. But ‘they couldn’t understand maximum. Obviously not of all. There are many intellectual animal in the world. Such as Whales.’
‘Is whale fish intelligent?’
‘Very much intelligent. They cannot make instrument because they have no hands only. Dolphin is also very intelligent. If they had hands then the style of the world be changed.’
‘Why they have no hand?’     
‘It’s a fancy of nature. Because of the whimsical of nature the intellectual animal like whales and Dolphin have to lead life like a beast.’
leaving a little sigh Hoiyetsoon took the instrument from Bablu’s shoulder.
‘Let your matter be think now. What did you think? Will you be a sailor of the ship?’
‘No.’
‘So what? Will you have sit under the berry tree?’
‘Uh! I shall go with you.’
‘Oh! Is it?’
‘Yes.’
‘But it’s not possible. We have no rocket or spaceship to now. We go from one place to another place by the process of replacing things. It’s not possible by you. But now I shall go to a moor of our Thursday planet. It’s called ‘Titan’. There are very intelligent animal.’
‘I shall also go Titan with you.’
‘It’s completely impossible.’ That place is full of dangerous clorine gass. There are also Sulfer Di-Oxide. Nothing will happen to me by it. But you will die within a manite.’
Bablu became stopped with a black face. The man said with a tranquil voice, ‘you rather study well. Because, there are many things to learn in you place. It will not enough to get eight and half marks in math.’
Bablu didn’t give any answer. The man said, ‘ Human brain is like a first class. They will pass us in the field of knowledge and science, if they wish.’
Bablu said with black face. ‘I don’t want to learn math’. Hoiyetsoon started laughing. He said laughingly, ‘Human being is so strange as a animal. They don’t say their mind language is separate. You are thinking that you will learn math attentively from now so that can make such type of instrument but you are speaking out another thing. Right?’
Bablu said slowly, ‘How did you understand?’
‘I have a small communicator instrument. What the intelligent animal are thinking it can be fell from so far with that instrument. Such as, if the instrument is hanged in your shoulder there you could understand that what your father and your Dhiren Sir are thinking at this moment. They both are searching you very busily with a hariken. After going home when the record-keeper Anis Mia of your school gave the news, your father has become restless. Do you want to understand the mind situation of you father?
Bablu moved his head, he wants to understand. when the man hanged the  instrument in his (B) shoulder, Bablu listened his father is saying heartly my mad son has been sitting lonely in which dark who knows’

He has gotten eight and half marks so what? Ah! poor Bablu! He couldn’t come to house because of my fear. No, I shall never be hot tempered. His father wipped his eyes thinking that.

Dhiren sir is also thinking the same word. Ah! where and in which dark the little boy has been sitting. To write the word ‘cow’ in the script has been a great fault. He is not going home to feel this shame. No, I need to behave more gently with the student. I shall not behave anger like this. Every day I shall teach math to Bablu for an hour.

Hoiyetsoon said  laughingly, ‘what did you listen to their mind language?
‘Hu!’
‘Haw you the plan to be a sailor of the ship yet now?
‘No.’
‘Good. very good. so M. Bablu, I have to go now.’
‘Please sit a little more.’
‘No, I can’t sit any more. your father and your sir is coming here. If they see me then the matter will not be good. I go now, right?
Before finishing his word father and Dhiren sir were seen. The record keeper Anis Mia is coming fast with a hariken in his hand. Bablu couldn’t see the man of foreign planet any more .

Baba gave a good slap after coming. ‘He said with angry voice, you have learnt wickedness in this age. without going home you are doing meditation sitting under the tree. I shall take the skin of your back today’
   Dhiren Sir said with subsiding voice; the exam has been worst. going home immediately you will sit taking a book but no. without this he has been sitting in the crowed of snakes. you will have nill- downed about a whole period in my class . Have I written the word ‘cow’ happily?’   
Bablu didn’t become angry in their word. Because , now he knows it certainly, that these are not the language of their mind. without this he saw clearly with the light of the hariken that his father’s eyes are wipped.
He was searching him with crying.
