3. How did the fairy help Jhinuk in her dream?

The fairy visited Jhinuk in her dream and understood her desire to meet her father. She used her glittering magic wand to transport Jhinuk instantly to Kolkata.

4. What did Jhinuk experience when she first arrived on a busy Kolkata road in her dream?

In a moment, the fairy's magic placed Jhinuk on a busy road. She was surrounded by tall buildings, heavy moving traffic, and people hurrying about. The environment was very different from Alipurduar. The loud blaring of horns was so intense that it startled her.

5. Describe Jhinuk's visit to the Kolkata port as shown by the fairy.

After the busy road, the fairy waved her wand again to show Jhinuk a river. At the river, Jhinuk saw large ships anchored. The fairy explained that this was the Kolkata port. It was a peaceful yet impressive sight compared to the noisy streets she had just seen.

6. What was significant about Jhinuk's visit to Eden Gardens?

When the fairy took Jhinuk to Eden Gardens, she saw a vast green field. Jhinuk immediately remembered that the famous cricketer Sourav Ganguly had played there. It shows that Jhinuk was aware of the city's landmarks and famous personalities through the stories her father told her.

7. Detail the experience of Jhinuk inside the Esplanade Metro station.

Jhinuk and the fairy entered the Esplanade Metro station. They used moving stairs (escalators) to go underground. Jhinuk saw the train come into the station, and they boarded it. She was thrilled to finally experience the underground train she had only heard about in stories.

8. How did Jhinuk find her father in the dream?

As Jhinuk ran towards her father in the dream, she heard a familiar voice telling her to wake up. When she opened her eyes, it was morning, and her father was actually standing before her, smiling. It turned out he had managed to finish his work and come home after all.

10. Compare the environment of Alipurduar and Kolkata as described in the text.

Alipurduar is described as a "pretty city" that is quiet and surrounded by "distant hills." In contrast, Kolkata is depicted as a "busy" place with "tall buildings," "moving traffic," "hurrying people," and "loud blaring of horns." While Alipurduar is peaceful, Kolkata is full of energy and modern infrastructure like the Metro Rail.

11. Why is the story titled 'A Dream Journey'?

The story is titled 'A Dream Journey' because the majority of the adventure takes place within Jhinuk's dream. Since she couldn't go to Kolkata in reality that weekend, her imagination, personified by a fairy, took her on a magical tour of the city's famous spots while she was asleep.

12. What does the text tell us about College Street?

According to the text, College Street is a famous road in Kolkata. It is unique because it is lined with bookshops on both sides of the street. It is a place where people go to find various kinds of books, and in the story, it is where Jhinuk's father was spotted.

13. How do we know Jhinuk loves her father very much?

We know Jhinuk loves her father because she eagerly waits for his weekend visits. When she hears he might not come, she becomes very sad and loses her appetite, eating dinner silently. Even in her magical dream with a fairy, her ultimate wish was not just to see sights, but to meet her father.

14. What are 'moving stairs' and where did Jhinuk see them?

Moving stairs are escalators. Jhinuk encountered them at the Esplanade Metro station in her dream. They are used to carry passengers from the ground level to the underground platforms where the Metro trains run.

15. Describe the character of the fairy in the story.

The fairy is a kind and magical character. She is described as "beautiful" and "smiling warmly." She is helpful because she uses her magic wand to fulfill Jhinuk's wish to see Kolkata and meet her father, acting as a gentle guide throughout the dream journey.

16. What would you do if a fairy granted you three wishes, based on the chapter's writing practice?

Based on the writing practice in the text, one might wish for a grand library filled with every book ever written, the ability to talk to animals, and a magical treehouse that could travel to any place in the world. These wishes reflect a love for learning, nature, and adventure.

17. Why would someone like to visit College Street? Someone would like to visit College Street because it is a paradise for book lovers. As mentioned in the writing practice, seeing so many bookshops together in one place is a wonderful experience. It allows people to explore both old and new books that might not be available elsewhere.

18. Explain the phrase "startled her" in the context of the story.

The phrase "startled her" means to suddenly shock or alarm someone. In the story, Jhinuk was used to the quiet hills of Alipurduar. When she was suddenly transported to a busy Kolkata street, the "loud blaring of horns" was so sudden and noisy that it frightened or surprised her momentarily.

19. What is the significance of Sourav Ganguly in the story?

Sourav Ganguly is mentioned to highlight the importance of Eden Gardens. By mentioning him, the story connects a real-life legendary figure to the fictional dream, making the description of the "vast green field" more relatable and significant for a child like Jhinuk.

20. Was the dream journey entirely different from reality? Explain.

The journey was a mix of fantasy and reality. While the fairy and the instant travel were fantasy, the locations (Eden Gardens, Metro Rail, College Street) and the final outcome (her father arriving home) were real. The dream acted as a bridge between Jhinuk's longing and the happy reality of her father's arrival.

CLASS 5 BUTTERFLY

Lesson 4: Memory in Marble

1. Let’s Read (চলো পড়ি)

Tarun, a class five student, was given a task to write a paragraph on the Taj Mahal. Worried, he asked his grandfather for help. His grandfather told him the story of Prince Khurram, son of Jehangir. One day, Khurram saw an extremely beautiful girl, Arjumand Banu Begum, in the Meena Bazaar and wanted to marry her.

তরুণ, পঞ্চম শ্রেণীর ছাত্র, তাজমহলের উপর একটি অনুচ্ছেদ লেখার কাজ পেয়েছিল। চিন্তিত হয়ে, সে তার দাদুকে সাহায্য করতে বলল। তার দাদু তাকে রাজকুমার খুররমের গল্প বললেন, যিনি ছিলেন জাহাঙ্গীরের পুত্র। একদিন, খুররম মীনা বাজারে এক অত্যন্ত সুন্দরী মেয়ে, আরজুমান্দ বানু বেগমকে দেখতে পান এবং তাকে বিয়ে করতে চান।

Prince Khurram was later known as Shah Jahan and became emperor in 1628. Arjumand Banu Begum was renamed Mumtaz Mahal, meaning “the brightest crown of the world.” When Mumtaz was on her deathbed, Shah Jahan promised her he would not marry again and would build the most beautiful mausoleum over her grave.

রাজকুমার খুররম পরে শাহজাহান নামে পরিচিত হন এবং ১৬২৮ সালে সম্রাট হন। আরজুমান্দ বানু বেগমের নতুন নাম হয় মমতাজ মহল, যার অর্থ “বিশ্বের সবচেয়ে উজ্জ্বল মুকুট।” মমতাজ যখন মৃত্যুশয্যায়, শাহজাহান তাকে প্রতিশ্রুতি দেন যে তিনি আর বিয়ে করবেন না এবং তার কবরের উপর সবচেয়ে সুন্দর সমাধিসৌধ নির্মাণ করবেন।

Shah Jahan was so sad after her death that he ordered the court to mourn for two years. He then started building the monument beside the river Yamuna. It took 22 years and 22,000 workers to build. The Taj Mahal was built entirely out of white marble. When Shah Jahan died in 1666, his body was placed next to the grave of Mumtaz Mahal. It is now considered one of the seven wonders of the World.

তার মৃত্যুর পর শাহজাহান এতই দুঃখিত হয়েছিলেন যে তিনি দরবারকে দুই বছর শোক পালনের আদেশ দেন। এরপর তিনি যমুনা নদীর তীরে স্মৃতিস্তম্ভটি নির্মাণ শুরু করেন। এটি তৈরি করতে ২২ বছর এবং ২২,০০০ কর্মী লেগেছিল। তাজমহল সম্পূর্ণরূপে সাদা মার্বেল দিয়ে তৈরি। ১৬৬৬ সালে শাহজাহান মারা গেলে, তার দেহ মমতাজ মহলের কবরের পাশে রাখা হয়। এটি এখন বিশ্বের সাতটি আশ্চর্যের মধ্যে একটি হিসাবে বিবেচিত হয়।

2. What We Learn (আমরা যা শিখি)

The Power of a Promise

Shah Jahan built the magnificent Taj Mahal to keep a promise he made to his dying wife. This teaches us the importance of keeping our promises and honoring our commitments.

শাহজাহান তার মৃত্যুপথযাত্রী স্ত্রীকে দেওয়া একটি প্রতিশ্রুতি রাখতে magnificently তাজমহল নির্মাণ করেছিলেন। এটি আমাদের প্রতিশ্রুতি রাখা এবং আমাদের অঙ্গীকার সম্মান করার গুরুত্ব শেখায়।

Love and Memory

The Taj Mahal is a symbol of Shah Jahan’s deep love for his wife, Mumtaz Mahal. It shows how art and architecture can be used to create a timeless memorial to remember a loved one forever.

তাজমহল শাহজাহানের তার স্ত্রী মমতাজ মহলের প্রতি গভীর ভালোবাসার প্রতীক। এটি দেখায় যে কীভাবে শিল্প এবং স্থাপত্যকে একজন প্রিয়জনকে চিরকাল স্মরণ করার জন্য একটি চিরন্তন স্মৃতিস্তম্ভ তৈরি করতে ব্যবহার করা যেতে পারে।

Hard Work and Dedication

Building the Taj Mahal took 22 years and 22,000 workers. This incredible feat of construction teaches us that great things can be achieved through long-term dedication, patience, and the hard work of many people.

তাজমহল নির্মাণে ২২ বছর এবং ২২,০০০ কর্মী লেগেছিল। এই অবিশ্বাস্য নির্মাণকার্য আমাদের শেখায় যে দীর্ঘমেয়াদী উৎসর্গ, ধৈর্য এবং অনেক মানুষের কঠোর পরিশ্রমের মাধ্যমে মহান জিনিস অর্জন করা যেতে পারে।

Jhinuk lives with her mother in Alipurduar. It is a pretty city surrounded by distant hills. Jhinuk’s father works in Kolkata. On some weekends, he comes to his home. During these visits, he tells her stories about Kolkata. Some of the stories amaze Jhinuk. Her father has told her of the Metro Rail in Kolkata. Jhinuk has been astonished to hear of trains that run underground.

ঝিনুক তার মায়ের সাথে আলিপুরদুয়ারে থাকে। এটি দূরবর্তী পাহাড় দ্বারা বেষ্টিত একটি সুন্দর শহর। ঝিনুকের বাবা কলকাতায় কাজ করেন। কিছু সপ্তাহান্তে, তিনি তার বাড়িতে আসেন। এই সফরের সময়, তিনি তাকে কলকাতা সম্পর্কে গল্প বলেন। কিছু গল্প ঝিনুককে অবাক করে দেয়। তার বাবা তাকে কলকাতার মেট্রো রেলের কথা বলেছেন। ঝিনুক মাটির নিচে চলা ট্রেনের কথা শুনে অবাক হয়েছে।

One weekend, Jhinuk was expecting her father to arrive. But on Friday evening, her mother told her, “Your father may not come tomorrow. He is busy with some urgent work.” Jhinuk felt very sad. She was missing her father very much. She had her dinner silently and went to sleep. Then she had a strange dream!

এক সপ্তাহান্তে, ঝিনুক তার বাবার আসার অপেক্ষা করছিল। কিন্তু শুক্রবার সন্ধ্যায়, তার মা তাকে বললেন, “তোমার বাবা হয়তো কাল আসবেন না। তিনি কিছু জরুরি কাজে ব্যস্ত।” ঝিনুক খুব দুঃখ পেল। সে তার বাবাকে খুব মিস করছিল। সে চুপচাপ রাতের খাবার খেয়ে ঘুমিয়ে পড়ল। তারপর সে একটি অদ্ভুত স্বপ্ন দেখল!

A beautiful fairy visited her in her dream. “I know you want to meet your father,” the fairy said. Jhinuk asked eagerly, “Will you take me to Kolkata, then?” The fairy smiled. She waved her glittering magic wand. And it was magic! In a moment Jhinuk found herself in a busy road. Around her she saw tall buildings, moving traffic and hurrying people. The loud blaring of horns startled her.

এক সুন্দরী পরী তার স্বপ্নে তাকে দেখতে এল। “আমি জানি তুমি তোমার বাবার সাথে দেখা করতে চাও,” পরীটি বলল। ঝিনুক আগ্রহের সাথে জিজ্ঞাসা করল, “তাহলে কি তুমি আমাকে কলকাতায় নিয়ে যাবে?” পরীটি হাসল। সে তার চকচকে জাদুর কাঠি নাড়ল। আর এটা ছিল জাদু! এক মুহূর্তের মধ্যে ঝিনুক নিজেকে একটি ব্যস্ত রাস্তায় খুঁজে পেল। তার চারপাশে সে দেখল উঁচু ভবন, চলমান যানবাহন এবং তাড়াহুড়ো করা মানুষ। হর্নের তীব্র শব্দ তাকে চমকে দিল।

The fairy waved her magic wand again. At once, Jhinuk saw a river in front of her. Large ships were anchored in the river. “This is the Kolkata port”, the fairy said. The beautiful fairy smiled warmly. “Let me take you to the Eden Gardens now”. Jhinuk saw before her a vast green field. Sourav Ganguly had played here, she remembered.

পরীটি আবার তার জাদুর কাঠি নাড়ল। সঙ্গে সঙ্গে ঝিনুক তার সামনে একটি নদী দেখতে পেল। নদীতে বড় বড় জাহাজ নোঙর করা ছিল। “এটি কলকাতা বন্দর”, পরীটি বলল। সুন্দরী পরী উষ্ণভাবে হাসল। “চলো এবার তোমাকে ইডেন গার্ডেন্সে নিয়ে যাই”। ঝিনুক তার সামনে একটি বিশাল সবুজ মাঠ দেখতে পেল। সৌরভ গাঙ্গুলী এখানে খেলেছেন, তার মনে পড়ল।

“Can you show me the underground trains?” Jhinuk asked. “Why not? Let us go right now”, the fairy answered. They entered the Esplanade Metro station. The moving stairs took them underground. The train came into the station and they got up. Jhinuk was thrilled. “Where will you take me next?” she asked breathlessly. Jhinuk said, “I want to meet my father.” The fairy waved her magic wand again. Jhinuk saw a road lined with bookshops on either side. “This is College Street”, the fairy said. Jhinuk suddenly spotted her father in a bookshop. She was delighted. She ran towards him.

“তুমি কি আমাকে পাতাল রেল দেখাতে পারবে?” ঝিনুক জিজ্ঞাসা করল। “কেন নয়? চলো এখনই যাই”, পরীটি উত্তর দিল। তারা এসপ্ল্যানেড মেট্রো স্টেশনে প্রবেশ করল। চলন্ত সিঁড়ি তাদের পাতালে নিয়ে গেল। ট্রেনটি স্টেশনে এসে থামল এবং তারা উঠে পড়ল। ঝিনুক রোমাঞ্চিত হল। “এরপর আমাকে কোথায় নিয়ে যাবে?” সে হাঁপাতে হাঁপাতে জিজ্ঞাসা করল। ঝিনুক বলল, “আমি আমার বাবার সাথে দেখা করতে চাই।” পরীটি আবার তার জাদুর কাঠি নাড়ল। ঝিনুক দেখল দু’পাশে বইয়ের দোকানে ভরা একটি রাস্তা। “এটা কলেজ স্ট্রিট”, পরীটি বলল। ঝিনুক হঠাৎ একটি বইয়ের দোকানে তার বাবাকে দেখতে পেল। সে খুব আনন্দিত হল। সে তার দিকে দৌড়ে গেল।

“Wake up Jhinuk, wake up”, said a familiar voice. Jhinuk wakes up from her dream. It is morning. Her father stands before her, smiling. So he could manage to come home, after all.

“জেগে ওঠো ঝিনুক, জেগে ওঠো”, একটি পরিচিত কণ্ঠ বলল। ঝিনুক তার স্বপ্ন থেকে জেগে উঠল। সকাল হয়ে গেছে। তার বাবা তার সামনে দাঁড়িয়ে হাসছেন। তাহলে তিনি শেষ পর্যন্ত বাড়ি আসতে পেরেছেন।

Explaining "A Dream Journey" to a 5-year-old:

"Once there was a little girl named Jhinuk who missed her daddy very much because he worked far away in Kolkata. One night, while she was sleeping, a beautiful fairy with a sparkly magic wand came into her dream! The fairy took Jhinuk on a magical trip to the big city. They saw giant ships in the water, a huge green field where people play cricket, and they even rode a special train that travels deep under the ground! Jhinuk was so happy to see all these things and even found her daddy in a bookshop. When she woke up the next morning, her daddy was actually there in her room, smiling at her. It was the best surprise ever!"
