Oops, Oh and OK were pals.

One day, Oops got visitors – uncle Silly and cousin Funny.

Uncle Silly said, “What about some ice creams?”

Oops said “Oops!” Oh said “oh!” and uncle Silly thought they didn’t want ice cream.

He said. “We won’t go”.

Cousin Funny said “I’ll screammmmm!!!” so they all went for ice creams.

His name should be Punny not Funny, no?

Oops, Oh and OK dropped ice cream all over their shorts and T-shirts. Ugh-Yucky-Sticky.

This Time Teachers are the Students

August 12: About 55,000 teachers in West Bengal are going back to school. They are going to be taught English so that they can teach the language to their students.

The West Bengal government has realised that most primary school teachers in the state do not know the ABC of English. Rather, they don’t remember.

The reason is not hard to find. For 20 years the government had banned the teaching of English at the primary level. So children studying up to class V were taught in Bengali. As a result primary teachers were not required to know English, which was taught as a second language from a higher class onwards.

गड़बड़ घोटाला

यह कैसा है घोटाला
कि चाबी मे है ताला
कमरे के अंदर घर है
और गाय में है गोशाला।

दातों के अंदर मुंह है
और सब्जी में है थाली
रूई के अंदर तकिया
और चाय के अंदर प्याली।

टोपी के ऊपर सर है।
और कार के ऊपर रस्ता
ऐनक पे लगी हैं आंखें
कापी किताब में बस्ता।

सर के बल सभी खड़े हैं
पैरों से सूंध रहे हैं
घुटनों में भूख लगी है
और टखने ऊंघ रहे हैं।
