If a person desires to pursue higher studies, he needs to learn it because most of the books of higher education are written in English. Information on any topic is more available in English than in any other language in the world. If one knows the tongue, one has an easy access to it.

Story: The Pied Piper of Hamelin
The Pied Piper of Hamelin
Long long ago there was a certain village in Germany. Its name was Hamelin. The villagers there were very worried because the village was full of dangerous rats. The rats were huge in size and even they killed the cats, and destroyed corns, food, clothes and etc. The villagers were very irritated because of the rats. Then, they went to the mayor and shared their problem with him. Immediately, he called on a meeting of the councilors. During their meeting, they heard a knock at the door. The door was opened. A strange man was there at the door. He was a piper. He assured them to solve their problem of rats. At that time, the mayor promised him to give a valuable reward, if he succeeded. The following day the piper played his flute in a pleasing way that all the rats came out and started following him. After some time he reached a river and all the rats jumped into it and drowned. Afterwards, he went back to the mayor for his reward. But at the moment, he insulted him and disagreed to give him the money. Then, the piper returned empty-handed (খালি হাতে). The following day, the piper played another tune, and all the children of the village began to follow him dancing. They went behind the mountain and never returned.
Story: The Hare and the Tortoise
The Hare and the Tortoise
Once there lived a hare in a forest. He was very proud of running fast. One afternoon he was taking rest. Suddenly, he saw a tortoise walking past him. He laughed at the slow pace of the tortoise. Being angry, the tortoise proposed a race. And the hare agreed. A day was fixed for the race and all the animals and the birds of the forest were present there. The race started. Then and there, the hare left the tortoise far behind and he thought of taking some rest again in a bush. When the hare was napping, the tortoise never stopped walking. He kept on plodding. Soon, he was about to touch the finishing line. At that time, the hare woke up and saw the tortoise touching the finishing rope. Moral: “Slow but steady wins the race.”
