Dear jamil,
Just now I have received your letter, in your letter you have wanted to know
about an interesting book that I have read recently.
You know, I am a book lover. So every moment I complete reading different
types of books. Yesterday I read a book named “Ami Topu” by Dr. Md.
Jafor Iqbal. It is so attractive and interesting. The theme of the book is
about the life style, thinking, concept of the teenagers and how survive in
this society with full of suffering and sorrow. It is the life story of Topu. The
language is smooth and the plot is well-planned. The story is full of humour
and confusion and excites the readers to think. Now I strongly recommend
this story book to you because I am sure you can learn a lot from the book.
No more today, convey my salam to your parents and love to your younger
brother.

never mind the hunters. I know scores of tricks to dodge the hunters.
Do you also know any such trick”? The cat said, “1 only know how to climb
a tree in time of danger.”
The fox was vain and looked at the cat with contempt. He said, “Ah! Poor
soul, is that all? How can you escape death if your single trick fails? Shall I
teach you some sure tricks?” Just then the cat saw a huntsman approaching
with a pack of hounds. It said, “Look! there come the hounds. Good bye.”
It climbed up the nearest tree and cleverly saved her life. The hounds came
upon the vain fox very soon. The fox ran for his life but the hounds overtook
him before long and tore him to pieces.

Moral: Nature cannot be changed.

ONE WINTER a Farmer found a Snake stiff and frozen with cold. He had
compassion on it, and taking it up, placed it in his bosom. The Snake was quickly
revived by the warmth, and resuming its natural instincts, bit its benefactor,
inflicting on him a mortal wound. "Oh," cried the Farmer with his last breath, "I
am rightly served for pitying a scoundrel."

Moral:

The greatest kindness will not bind the ungrateful
