The Clay Bird Page #2

---

it tries to fly but fails

The bird's trapped

in the body's cage

- Milon are you home?

- Who's there?

Uttam, Shaheen, sit down.

What's new?

Take a look at this!

"Martial Law declared.

Dictator Ayub Khan steps down.

"Constitution suspended."

Bravo!

Bravo Bangalees!

"General Yahya is Pakistan's

new head of state.

"The Governor is forced to resign.

"General Yahya promises

elections within a year."

Will he keep his word,

or will he be another dictator?

- Better he keeps his word.

- We'll see.

Wake up!

Prayer is better than sleep.

Wake up!

Get ready!

Silence!

Quiet!

What Arabic lesson were we on?

Oh yes, I remember.

Conjugate the verb "to do"

in the present tense. Anwar?

He does, two boys do,

three or more do, she does....

two girls do, three or more do...

Who can give me a sentence

with subject, object, verb

and preposition?

Zaid beats Omar with the stick.

You boy.

Explain the different noun forms

in this sentence.

Zaid is active, ends with "oon"

Omar, the subject, ends with "aan",

and the stick is...

"Stick" is an exception to the rule.

It should end with "ee"

but in this case,

stick ends with "aa".

Got it?

- Where are you from?

- Near Kumarganj.

My uncle lives there.

- What's the name of your village?

- Fulpur.

Fulpur. Pretty name!

Rokon!

Here is my robe. Wash it well.

Is your home far away?

Yes, very far.

Sir, what's your village like?

My daughter is very restless.

She's a bit older than you.

She likes to play by the pond.

There is a big tree there.

When its flowers fall on the water

it looks like a red carpet.

She always bathes there,

dunking her head below the water.

She disappears for a while,

but then, she comes up again

her hair draped in red flowers.

Will you go home for Eid?

No, it's too far

for the few vacation days I get.

But you should both go back home.

I won't go.

I'll go.

You've always used allopathy.

Try homeopathy for a month and see.

Allah willing, his tonsillitis

will never return.

Please come have a seat,

Khan Bahadur.

Are you feeling better?

By the grace of Allah

and the means of your medicine,

- I'm much better.

- It's all Allah's will.

In fact,

allopathy treats only the illness

while homeopathy treats the patient.

You're right about that.

For example, fever.

We think it's an illness

but it isn't.

It's just a symptom.

What's needed is to treat

the root of all disease.

You see,

how anarchy

was threatening our country.

A little tear gas and gunfire

at demonstrations couldn't stop it.

We needed real medicine:

Martial law!

Now see, the troublemakers

have been cut down to size.

Don't you agree?

Ma, Anu's come!

Isn't it pretty?
