Prose Passage: Ramer Sumati
(by Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay – translated)
Ram was a very mischievous boy in his childhood. He had no interest in
studies and hated going to school. Whenever the private tutor arrived, Ram
would hide under the stairs. There was no end to the complaints from neighbors.
But Ram’s mother was very affectionate. She always said, “My Ram is not a bad
boy. He will understand in time.”
One day, an old man from the neighborhood said to Ram’s mother, “Send your
son to school, or he will bring sorrow when he grows up.” The mother smiled
gently and replied, “He is still a child. One day, he will come to his senses.”
