হাতি আর ব্যাঙের মধ্যে কথা

DIALOGUE BETWEEN MIGHTY ELEPHANT AND GROUP OF FROGS

There is a fable indicating even a mighty elephant have to get insulted when it falls in crisis. Below is an audio version of the same story  rendered in poem by me. The language is bangla. English translation is given also below.

When the elephant fell in the mud

Frogs jumping with joy kicked him and asked

What made him to slip in frog’s territory with such a thud

Increasing own beauty with application of mud

Let his consort appreciate when she arrives

Who had been asked to rush in by drive

The elephant said I’m sorry

Bellyful of mahua made me merry

Could not keep balance due to intoxication

Don’t call my wife as I know what will be her reaction

So pull my tusk and start your chorus whole night

Will enable me to stand upright

If I can stand up ever

May announce will drink never.
