The Purple Jar Part-3
The Purple Jar (Part-3)
A Read the last part of the story to see what happened to Rosamond’s beautiful purple jar.
Rosamond and her mother were going back to the chemist’s shop. As they were walking, Rosamond had to stop once again to take another stone out of the broken shoe, and she often limped with pain.
When they got back to the shop, Rosamond’s mother asked her to carefully examine the jar before she bought it. But Rosamond was so excited that she bought it even without looking at what was inside the jar.
Happily she came back home with her mother. Then Rosamond quickly brought some flowers from the garden and was going to put them into the jar. But as soon as she took the top off, she saw something dark inside, which gave off an unpleasant smell.
“What is it, Mamma? I didn’t want this black thing and the terrible smell.”
“Nor did I, my dear.”
“But what shall I do with it?”
“That I can’t tell.”
“Okay, Mamma, I must pour it out and fill the jar with fresh water.”
Then she made the jar empty. But to her great disappointment, she found that it was no longer a purple jar it was a plain white glass jar. With its coloured water gone, the jar did no longer look beautiful.
Rosamond cried with tears of disappointment in her eyes. She also cried for her folly. Every day her shoes grew worse and worse, and she could neither run, dance, jump, nor go shopping with her mother.
Thus Rosamond suffered for a whole month and learned a lesson the hard way. She hoped that she would be wiser in future.
The Purple Jar (Part-3) — Bangla অনুবাদ
রোজামন্ড এবং তার মা ঔষধের দোকানে ফেরার পথে হাঁটছিলেন। রোজামন্ড আবারও একবার থেমে গেল পাথর বের করার জন্য, কারণ তার পুরনো জুতোর ভাঙ্গা অংশে পাথর আটকে গিয়েছিল, এবং তার পায়ে ব্যথা হচ্ছিল।
দোকানে পৌঁছালে, রোজামন্ডের মা তাকে জারটি ভালো করে দেখতে বললেন কিনতে যাওয়ার আগে। কিন্তু রোজামন্ড এতটাই উত্তেজিত ছিল যে সে ভিতরে কী আছে, সেটা না দেখেই জারটি কিনে ফেলল।
সুখে বাড়ি ফিরল তারা। তারপর রোজামন্ড বাগান থেকে কিছু ফুল এনে জারটিতে ফুল দেওয়ার জন্য নিয়ে গেল। কিন্তু যখন সে ঢাকনা খুলল, তখন ভেতরে কিছু কালো জিনিস দেখল, যা থেকে দুর্গন্ধ বের হচ্ছিল।
“এটা কী, মম্মা? আমি এই কালো জিনিস আর ওই বাজে গন্ধ চাইনি।”
“আমিও চাইনি, প্রিয়।”
“তাহলে আমি এটা নিয়ে কী করব?”
“আমি বলতে পারছি না।”
“ঠিক আছে, মম্মা, আমাকে এটা ফেলে দিতে হবে এবং জারটিতে নতুন পানি ভরতে হবে।”
তাই সে জারটা খালি করল। কিন্তু তার বড় হতাশা হল, তখন সে দেখল আর এটা বেগুনি জার নয়, এটা সাধারণ সাদা কাঁচের জার। রঙিন পানি চলে যাওয়ায়, জার আর সুন্দর লাগছিল না।
রোজামন্ড হতাশার চোখে কাঁদতে লাগল। সে নিজের ভুলের জন্য কাঁদল। প্রতিদিন তার জুতো আরও খারাপ হতে থাকল, আর সে দৌড়াতে, নাচতে, লাফাতে বা মাকে নিয়ে কেনাকাটা করতে পারছিল না।
এইভাবে রোজামন্ড এক মাস ভোগান্তি সহ্য করল এবং কঠিনভাবে একটি শিক্ষা নিল। সে আশা করল ভবিষ্যতে সে আরও বুদ্ধিমান হবে।
