The pied piper of Hamlin
A long time ago the town of Hamlin was faced with a great problem. It became full of rats. The Rates were so
big and so fierce that they fought the dogs, killed the cats and bit the babies in the cradles. They ate up the
corn in the granaries. At last the Mayor of the town was informed about the problem by the people. But the
Mayor failed to find a definite solution to remove the violent rats. However, there came a pied piper who
offered the Mayor to remove the rats in lieu of thousand guiders. The Mayor and his councilors accepted this
proposal. The pied piper through his magical blow of pipe took all the rats to nearby the river. When the piper
played the pipe , all the rats of the town followed him into river and drowned. After completing his task, the
piper demanded his money. But the Mayor refused to pay all the money except only a little amount. The pied
piper became very angry and playing different tune .He hallucinated all the children of Hamlin. Like the rats
they followed him laughing and dancing. At last the children reached at a certain hill and entered into the den
of it from where they never came back. The pied piper in this way took the revenge on the people of Hamlin.
Dear Sir,
We, the inhabitants of Homna Uplazilla, would like to draw your kind attention to the flood that has recently
visited this area. The fold has broken all the records of the past. The miseries of the affected people know no
bounds. Thousands of people have become homeless. Many of them have taken shelter of rooftops. Boats and
embankments. They are now living under the open sky without food or cloth. Cholera, diarrhea, typhoid,
dysentery etc. Have broken out in an epidemic form. Crops have been greatly damaged. The sconce is very
pathetic. The affected people are badly in need of foods, shelters, clothes, medicines, pure water etc
immediately. Reliefs from the govt. and NGOs are too little to meet the huge demand. So, more relief goods are
badly needed for the distressed people.
In the above circumstances, we earnestly request you to send sufficient relief good to the flood affected
people of this area immediately to lessen their sufferings and oblige thereby.
Yours truly,
The inhabitants of Dulalpur union.
Television
Television is one of the greatest discoveries of modern science. John Bayard invented the television in 1925.
The word television has come from the Latin word tele and greek word vision. Tele means distance or far and
vision means sight. Therefore television means far sight.
Television is one of the most modern means of communication ideas and thoughts. We hear the speeches of the
world famous personality. It serves much more than a radio. It is like a stage where performers are seen and
heard. It gives us news on national and international matters.
Television is a source of recreation. After days hard works we sit before a television set and hear music and
songs. We enjoy drama, dance and many other things.
Television has a great education value. It teaches the illiterate and students. We hear and enjoy debates,
lectures on various important topics, discussion on science and speeches through television. It has broken the
wall between the literate and illiterate.
Now a days people need not go to stadium to enjoy a game. They sit before television and enjoy football,
cricket and other games and sports.
Television has made the world small. It has conquered time and distance. People need not spend huge money to
go abroad. We get familiar with the customs and traditions, fashions and dresses and culture of the people of
different part of the world through television.
Television has some demerits also. Young people most often watch the exciting films on violence and crime.
They also see the obscene films and naked dances. All these things leave a damaging effect on their mind.
Television is an important medium of mass communication. It plays an important role in our daily life.
