Ice cream

-kishore krunik

Tapos woke up early in the morning. How of type joy is swinging inside his mind. He didn't realize that he fell asleep when he was thinking about so many things last night.

Today is Baishakhi fair. Father said he will take her to see Baishakhi fair. Aha! What fun it will be. How much to eat and Ride the swing.

Everyone in the house will go to the fair. They said they will take him to the fair. No, why did he suddenly think that he will not go with them? I will go with my father. Father loves him so much. Why did he feel that they are not good, they do not love him at all?

The hair on the head has grown quite a lot. Hair needs to be trimmed. Forty rupees to cut hair. There is a Scissor at home. Yes, hair should be cut with scissors. He tried at cut hair by Scissor, he As thinks as search Scissor from room, head scratched his by comb . Suddenly, the small mirror fell and broke push of hand. Mother came running and hit at the back by the bread made rulers. He cried out loud. He went out of the room crying and started crying.

When poverty plays than sorrow leave of luck at family. Nothing is not bought easily. Even after that, the mother's mood turned purple when she broke the mirror. Father is sleeping. Father does not say anything on the words of the mother. Mother scolded the father, "How dare, if you have taken him to the fair!" Father has no answer.

Tapos realized that his father would not take him to the Baishakhi festival. Tapos wiped his tears and entered uncle's room. Uncle’s son and daughter are talking about what to buy for the fair. Tapos said, I will also go to see the fair with you. Uncle entered the house after ironing clothes. Seeing iron done, Tapos felt that his clothes needed to be iron

He came to his own house and searched his father's pocket and did not find a single rupee. What else to do! Suddenly felt, in a movie, he saw pants to heat the dishes and do the iron.

He quickly took the clothes from the rack and put them on the bed. He went to the burning stove to heat the dish and heated the dish as soon as he put it on the clothes and immediately the back of the clothes got burnt. Tapos sighed in fear, what happened to the forehead! Mother will kill her if she sees it. Tapos quickly got busy hiding the clothes. He has no clothes. Tapos cried a lot. Howled and cried. Mother entered the house and saw Tapos crying. Mother's heartfelt love for her son, Comforted Tapos and sewed the clothes. But it was burnt in such a way that it could not be worn even after sewing. Tapos tried to put the clothes on somehow. On the other hand, cousin's son and daughter put on iron clothes and the preparations are almost over to go to the Baishakhi fair.

Now it's time to leave home. Called Tapas, Tapos put on his clothes and went in front of them, they were laughing and rolling. Tapos was very shy. Never felt such shame. He realized that they were very poor. Not good for them. The creator did not give equal power to everyone. They went to celebrate Baishakhi. Tapos no longer wants to go to the fair. I don't know why he thought that Baishakhi fair is not for people like them. Tapos entered the house. He lay down on the bed. After a while, the younger sister suddenly came and said seriously, "Big Brother, let's go to the fair." Let's go Big Brother.

Despite the reluctance of his heart, Tapos wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes and went to celebrate Boishakhi with his sister. How many types of alloy materials? Nagordola, Paparvaza, many different types of sweets, Murivaza etc. What to do, there is no money in the pocket. My sister wanted to eat Paparvaja. Tapos said, 'You don't have to eat fried potatoes, you will get Food Poisoning if you eat all this!'

The sister said seriously again, "Then I will eat sweets."

Tapas say, "Oh, if you eat that sweet on your forehead, your stomach will be stomach cramps!"

Sister says, 'How many people are eating!'

"They don't know!"

"Yes, you know everything!" said the sister and lowered her face.

"Listen, those foods are not for us, for those who have money!"

'I have a buck!'

"Where to see!"

The sister opened her fist and said, "Look at this." The sister giggled. Tapas also smiled. The world is in their hands. They went to each shop and asked for one rupee item. But nothing of a single rupee happened. Heartbroken, the siblings held hands and left for home from the fair. After walking for a while, I saw ice cream being sold.

The seller is saying loudly, one pich to one taka.' As soon as he heard the words, happiness flowed in the eyes of the siblings. Joy overflowed in the corner of the brother's mind. Happy bought ice cream with one rupee coin. Tapas said, 'Sister you eat.'

The sister said, "Take it too."

Tapos noticed that the water in the ice cream was falling.

Tapos says, 'I do one thing, you eat from the top of the ice cream, and I eat the water falling from the ice cream storm.

Sister started sucking from the top of the ice cream and Tapas made sure that not a single drop of ice cream water fell on the ground.

He lowered his face and started drinking the water that fell in the storm. Some people around were quite surprised, tears came to the ice cream seller's eyes, he went to give an ice cream for free but they shook their heads as if they would not take it.
