Paragraph: A Book Fair (Class 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, SSC, HSC)

A Book Fair

A book fair is a special kind of fair where various kinds of books are displayed and sold. It allows buying books at a cheap rate. The leading organizations of a book fair are Bangla Academy, Public Library, Biswa Sahitya Kendra, etc. Novels, dramas, poems, epic, stories, elegies, autobiographies, science fiction, dictionaries, rhymes, medical and technical books, etc., are available in a book fair. A book fair benefits people in many ways. They can buy books at a cheaper rate, collect uncommon and rare books, and do their research. Students can prepare their lessons well by buying books from a book fair. Recently, I visited a book fair at the Bangla Academy premises. It is an annual function and Bangla Academy authorities arrange the fair in memory of the language martyrs. It is termed “Amor Ekushey Boi Mela.” I was pleased with the lively environment when I entered the mela premises. Though it was burdened with people, there was no chaotic situation. I saw book lovers humming in the stalls without any trouble. According to my list, I collected some valuable books without any hazard. I was fortunate as I met some eminent writers of our country, and I took autographs.

Truthfulness of Hazrat Abdul Quadir Zilani

In his boyhood, Hazrat Abdul Quadir Zilani was going to Bagdad for education. On the eve of his departure from home, his mother said to him, “My son, never tell a lie and don’t get frightened in danger.” Bagdad was Jar away from his home. He began his journey in the company of a band of merchants.

The way was infested with robbers. After five days a gang of robbers fell upon the travelers. One of the robbers caught hold of the boy. The gang leader saw it and said, “Let the boy go. He has nothing with him.” At this, the boy said, “No, you are wrong. I have forty gold coins sewn in my sleeves.”

The leader asked him why he told them about his gold coins. The boy said in reply that at the time of his departure his mother forbade him to tell a lie. He could not disobey his mother. Hearing this, a change came into the gang leader. He gave up robbery with all his men. They began to lead a good and honest life. Being inspired by the truthful boy, they became good men. They decided to reform themselves and gradually gave up all their bad habits.

Wisdom of King Solomon

King Solomon was famous for his wisdom. He was called ‘Solomon the wise.’ One of his contemporaries was the Queen of Sheba. She heard Solomon’s name many times. She was very eager to test his wit.

So, one day she came to Solomon’s court. The Queen of Sheba was very wise. Hearing the name and fame of King Solomon, she decided to test his wisdom, and so she went to the court of King Solomon. She was warmly received in the king’s court. She brought two garlands of roses.

One of them was of natural roses, and the other was of artificial roses. The queen asked the king to identify the real one. As both of the garlands looked quite alike, Solomon thought for some time. Just at that moment, he saw some bees humming outside the window and told his men to open the window.

Then the bees came in and sat on the garland of natural roses. Then the king was able to identify the garland of real roses. The Queen of Sheba was greatly charmed by his wisdom.
