Bengali

লিপি একটি ছোট মেয়ে। তার বয়স এখন নয় বছর। সে তার বাবা-মায়ের সাথে সুখনাগরে থাকে। প্রতি বছর গ্রামে একটি বড় মেলা বসে। মেলাটি এখন চলছে। লিপির বাবা নানা ধরণের মুখোশ তৈরি করেন। তিনি সেগুলো মেলায় বিক্রি করেন।

English

"Can you take me to the fair today?" Lipi asks her father. "You know I have to sell masks all day. So I will be very busy," her father replies. But Lipi repeatedly asks him to take her along. At last her father agrees.

Bengali

"তুমি কি আজ আমাকে মেলায় নিয়ে যাবে?" লিপি তার বাবাকে জিজ্ঞাসা করে। "তুমি জানো আমাকে সারাদিন মুখোশ বিক্রি করতে হবে। তাই আমি খুব ব্যস্ত থাকব," তার বাবা উত্তর দেন। কিন্তু লিপি তাকে বারবার সাথে নিয়ে যাওয়ার জন্য বলতে থাকে। অবশেষে তার বাবা রাজি হন।

English

Little Lipi has never been to a fair. So she is very excited today. "I have never seen so many people together!" she exclaims in wonder. A small crowd has gathered in front of her father's shop. Some of them are buying masks. She is delighted to see that the masks are selling well. Her father is also happy. Beside her father's shop, a person sits selling dolls. The dolls are made of burnt clay.

Bengali

ছোট্ট লিপি কখনও মেলায় যায়নি। তাই আজ সে খুব উত্তেজিত। "আমি একসাথে এত লোক কখনও দেখিনি!" সে বিস্ময়ের সাথে বলে ওঠে। তার বাবার দোকানের সামনে ছোটখাটো ভিড় জমেছে। তাদের মধ্যে কেউ কেউ মুখোশ কিনছে। সে দেখে আনন্দিত হয় যে মুখোশগুলো ভালো বিক্রি হচ্ছে। তার বাবাও খুশি। তার বাবার দোকানের পাশে, একজন লোক পুতুল বিক্রি করতে বসেছে। পুতুলগুলো পোড়ামাটির তৈরি।

English

Looking inside the shop, Lipi notices a girl her age. "Who is the girl, father?" she asks. "She is Mansur's daughter," replies her father, "You may go and talk to her. But do not go anywhere else." "Ok, father," says Lipi and goes to the girl. "What is your name?" Lipi asks. "Rubina," she answers. "I am Lipi. Are you in the same class as me?" Lipi asks her. Soon, they are friends.

Bengali

দোকানের ভেতরে তাকিয়ে, লিপি তার বয়সী একটি মেয়েকে লক্ষ্য করে। "মেয়েটি কে, বাবা?" সে জিজ্ঞাসা করে। "সে মনসুরের মেয়ে," তার বাবা উত্তর দেন, "তুমি গিয়ে তার সাথে কথা বলতে পারো। কিন্তু অন্য কোথাও যেও না।" "ঠিক আছে, বাবা," লিপি বলে এবং মেয়েটির কাছে যায়। "তোমার নাম কি?" লিপি জিজ্ঞাসা করে। "রুবিনা," সে উত্তর দেয়। "আমি লিপি। তুমি কি আমার সাথে একই ক্লাসে পড়?" লিপি তাকে জিজ্ঞাসা করে। শীঘ্রই, তারা বন্ধু হয়ে যায়।

English

After a while, Lipi hears someone calling her name. It is Sujoy, her classmate. He has come to the fair with his father. He is elated to see Lipi. He buys a doll from Mansur uncle's shop. He also buys the mask of a tiger from Lipi's father.

Bengali

কিছুক্ষণ পর, লিপি শোনে কেউ তার নাম ধরে ডাকছে। সে সুজয়, তার সহপাঠী। সে তার বাবার সাথে মেলায় এসেছে। লিপিকে দেখে সে খুব আনন্দিত হয়। সে মনসুর চাচার দোকান থেকে একটি পুতুল কেনে। সে লিপির বাবার কাছ থেকে একটি বাঘের মুখোশও কেনে।

English

Lipi looks around the fair. She sees the huge merry-go-round. People riding it are shouting in joy. Close by, a puppet show is about to start. Lipi looks at food stalls a little further from their shop. "Father, I want to have alu kabli and jilabis," she says. She also hears a group of bauls sing some distance away. She knows that bauls are the folk singers of Bengal.

Bengali

লিপি মেলার চারপাশ দেখে। সে বিশাল নাগরদোলা দেখে। যারা ওটাতে চড়ছে তারা আনন্দে চিৎকার করছে। কাছেই, একটি পুতুল নাচ শুরু হতে যাচ্ছে। লিপি তাদের দোকান থেকে একটু দূরে খাবারের দোকানগুলোর দিকে তাকায়। "বাবা, আমি আলুকাবলি এবং জিলাপি খেতে চাই," সে বলে। সে কিছুটা দূরে বাউলদের একটি দলকে গান গাইতে শোনে। সে জানে যে বাউলরা বাংলার লোকসংগীত শিল্পী।

English

Lipi's father buys her a doll and a huge gas balloon. She has fun riding the merry-go-round. Her father even allows her to buy some colourful glass bangles. Lipi enjoys having alu-kabli and phuchka. She takes some jilabis home. Her father buys a nice saree for her mother. Lipi is very happy. She wishes to visit the fair again next year.

Bengali

লিপির বাবা তাকে একটি পুতুল এবং একটি বিশাল গ্যাস বেলুন কিনে দেন। সে নাগরদোলায় চড়ে মজা পায়। তার বাবা তাকে কিছু রঙিন কাঁচের চুড়ি কেনার অনুমতিও দেন। লিপি আলুকাবলি এবং ফুচকা খাওয়া উপভোগ করে। সে কিছু জিলাপি বাড়ির জন্য নিয়ে যায়। তার বাবা তার মায়ের জন্য একটি সুন্দর শাড়ি কেনেন। লিপি খুব খুশি। সে আগামী বছর আবার মেলায় আসার ইচ্ছা পোষণ করে।
