Begum Rokeya (1880-1932) was a famous writer and a social worker. She lived in undivided Bengal in the early 20th century. She believed that women should have the same rights and opportunities as men have in the society. So she fought for their cause throughout her life.

Begum Rokeya was born in a village called Pairabondh, Rangpur in 1880. Her father Jahiruddin Muhammad Abu Ali Haider Saber was an educated landlord. Rokeya was married to Khan Bahadur Sakhawat Hussain in 1896. Her husband was the Deputy Magistrate of Bhagalpur, now a district in the Indian State of Bihar. He was very cooperative, and always encouraged Rokeya to go on with her activities.

Many upper class Muslims of Bengal at that time learnt Arabic and Persian as medium of education and communication. But Rokeya had great love for her mother tongue. She learnt Bangla and English from her eldest brother Ibrahim. [Unit—05; Lesson—01]

Helen Keller was a great humanitarian. She deeply cared for the people who were sick and injured. These disabled people could not use a part of their body.

Helen worked for these disabled people all through her life.

Helen Keller was born in 1880 in Tuscumbia, Alabama. Her father was Captain Arthur Keller and mother Katherine Adams Keller. Her family was not rich and its main source of income was cotton plantation.

Helen was quite healthy when she was born. But in 1882 she had a high fever and she became blind, deaf and dumb. At that time her father was a newspaper editor. He saw Alexander Graham Bell about Helen. Bell, the inventor of telephone, was working with deaf children at that time. Later Bell met Helen and her parents. He suggested Perkins School for the blind in Boston for Helen.

Captain Arthur went to the director of the school Michael Anaganos. Mr Anaganos sent one of his best students called Annie Sullivan to help Helen in 1887. Annie greatly helped Helen to communicate. [Unit — 05, Lesson — 03]

Helen Keller started her formal Education in 1890. She began to take classes at the Horace Mann School for the deaf in Boston. From 1894 to 1896, she attended the Wright Humason School for the deaf in New York City. There she worked to improve her communication skills and studied regular academic subjects. Helen gradually made up her mind to attend college. In 1896 she attended the Cambridge School for Young Ladies, Massachusetts. Later, she was admitted to Redcliffe College. Here she learnt reading through a special technique called Braille. She also learnt here how to type. Annie Sullivan was always with her for help. She sat by her in the class and interpreted lectures and texts.

In 1904, Helen received a BA degree with honours from that college. Helen Keller spent the rest of her life trying to make it easier for disabled people to learn. Helen Keller died on June 1, 1968, a few weeks short of her 88th birthday. [Unit — 05, Lesson — 04]

It was Zishan’s grandparents’ house in the village. The night sky was clear. The full moon was shining brightly. All the family members had delicious supper and sat in the yard. Zishan’s cousins, Jahid and Shima, were very excited. They are the same age. They were also studying at a village school. Their grandparents gladly joined them. They were sitting on a bamboo mat. Everybody felt relaxed. They were talking, laughing and joking. The children’s voices were the loudest. Jahid described how he played for his school in the Upazila Inter-School Tournament.

“What sports do you take part in, Zishan?” asked Jahid. Zishan could not answer. There was no playground in his school and around his house. Shima also told them how she won the first prize for 100 metre sprint in her school annual sports. She sang a beautiful Bhawaiya. Everybody clapped their hands in delight.

Julie’s aunt Mrs Jahanara Khan told some funny jokes that made them laugh their head off. The family gathering went on far into the night.

It was a large lovely garden, with soft green grass. Here and there over the grass stood beautiful flowers. Also there were fruit trees around the garden.

One day the Giant came back. He went to see his friend in a distant land and stayed with them for seven years. When he arrived he saw children playing in his garden.

“What are you doing here?” cried the Giant in a very gruff voice. The children ran away.

Every afternoon the children came back from school and used to go and play in the Giant’s garden.

“My own garden is my own garden,” said the Giant. “Anyone can understand that. And I will allow nobody to play in it.” So he built a high wall all round the garden and put up a notice board. “TRESPASSERS WILL BE PUNISHED.”

Then came the spring. And all over the country there were flowers and there were birds. Only in the garden of the Giant it was still winter. Here there were no birds singing, no flowers blossoming. There were only snow and frost and north wind in it. “I cannot understand why the spring is so late in coming,” said the Giant. He was sitting at the window of his big castle and looking out at his cold, dry, lifeless garden. “I hope there will be a change in the weather.” But neither spring nor summer came to his garden.
