Bolo and Squawky at the Seaside Story in English
Bolo and Squawky at the Seaside
They had been flying over the mountains of Wales, and Bolo was skimming down
toward some little islands, which from high up in the air looked like small
green rocks.
"This is it !"
Squawky was very tired, but of course he wouldn't say so. Instead he just
remarked, in a faint voice:
"What, here already?"
Suddenly they were standing on the edge of a low cliff. There were lots of
flowers, especially white campions and red campions. They reminded Squawky of
raspberries and cream. They were pretty.
There were some blue flowers, squills.
But there were no houses, and no people.
It was rather bare and lonely.
"Where is Seaside?" Squawky said.
From Squawky by Stephen Potter
Bolo and Squawky at the Seaside Story in Bangla
সমুদ্রতীরে বোলো এবং স্কোয়াকি
তারা ওয়েলসের পাহাড়ের উপর দিয়ে উড়ছিল, এবং বোলো কিছু ছোট দ্বীপের দিকে নেমে
আসছিল, যেগুলো উঁচু থেকে দেখলে ছোট সবুজ পাথরের মতো লাগছিল।
"এই তো এসে গেছি!"
স্কোয়াকি খুব ক্লান্ত ছিল, কিন্তু অবশ্যই সে তা বলবে না। পরিবর্তে সে শুধু ক্ষীণ
স্বরে মন্তব্য করল:
"কী, এত তাড়াতাড়ি এখানে?"
হঠাৎ তারা একটি নিচু খাদের ধারে দাঁড়িয়ে ছিল। সেখানে প্রচুর ফুল ছিল, বিশেষ করে
সাদা ক্যাম্পিয়ন এবং লাল ক্যাম্পিয়ন। ফুলগুলো স্কোয়াকির রাস্পবেরি এবং ক্রিমের
কথা মনে করিয়ে দিচ্ছিল। সেগুলো সুন্দর ছিল।
কিছু নীল ফুল ছিল, স্কুইল।
কিন্তু সেখানে কোনো বাড়ি ছিল না, এবং কোনো মানুষও ছিল না।
জায়গাটা বেশ খালি এবং নির্জন ছিল।
"সমুদ্রতীর কোথায়?" স্কোয়াকি বলল।
