10.5 Read the story and answer the following questions in pairs/groups.
The bell rings for the start of the tiffin period, and the students of Kajla High School are rushing out of their classes to play. In the school playground, a group of boys starts to play cricket. In this group, there is a boy named Zahin. While playing he notices a boy sitting under the Banyan tree at the corner of the playground. But he doesnât think much of it. A well-struck ball runs toward the Banyan tree and stops just a few feet short of it. Zahin runs to collect the ball.
As he gets near the tree, he recognises the boy sitting under the tree as his classmateJamal. âHey, Jamal!â he says while collecting the ball and running back to rejoin the game. As they resume the play, Zahin recalls seeing Jamal sitting under the tree quite a few times observing them play.
They wrap up the play as the bell rings for the end of the tiffin period. After the class, Zahin gathers other members of the group. âHave you noticed Jamal sitting under the tree watching us play?â says Zahin. âYeah. What of it?â says one. âHe often does,ââ says another. âIt seems he is interested in joining us to play,â says Zahin. âBut he canât âĻ and we know the reason, right,â one mumble. âI have an idea,â says Zahin. Zahin shares his idea with the group.
The next day, Jamal is sitting under the tree as usual, but Zahinâs group is nowhere to be seen. Feeling a little disheartened Jamal stands up leaning against the tree. He starts to search for something besides the tree. âAh, there you are,â Jamal says to himself holding two crutches in his hands. As he starts to move toward class, he hears, âHey, Jamal!â Jamal turns and sees Zahin with the group.
âWe are playing chess today. Come join usâ. A bright smile forms on Jamalâs face as he joins the group to play. The next day, the group requests Jamal to do the scoring for them while playing cricket. Jamal happily accepts that. Jamal is so efficient in counting that the everyday score confusion is gone. Together with Jamal, the group enjoys both cricket and chess.

We will try to help her in studying.
Situation-2:Â Firstly, we will accept that Marche Chakma came from a different place, so it is normal that his Bangla pronunciation will not be appropriate like ours. That is why we will never make him feel embarrassed and resist others mocking her. We will also help her to learn our language. We will include him in our cultural festivals, games, picnics, and group discussions so that he can feel more welcome.
Situation-3:Â Firstly, we will not make him feel neglected in school. We can make the school environment friendly for him. Sometimes we can gift him something such as a pencil, eraser, colour pencil, toys etc, and we can share food with him. At festivals, we can invite him to our home, and we can also visit his house as well.
Situation-4:Â We can join her festivals to make her less alone. Besides, we can invite her to join our festivals.
