I was reading through a joke in a magazine. It was in Bengali. I don’t know if any of you have heard it before but I tried rewrite it in English to share it with you all. I hope you would like it!
Once a teacher asked his student to write down a paragraph on cow. After some minutes the boy came back to the teacher and submitted the paragraph. The teacher asked him to read it aloud. Then the boy started to read it : “ The cow is a domestic animal. It has two eyes, four legs, two horns and a tail. It lives on grass. I have a cow. It’s color is black. It gives a lot of milk everyday. I drink that milk. I take my cow to the field everyday. I love my cow very much.”
The teacher wasn’t amazed at this dumb boy. He kept patience and gave the boy another topic. “Write a paragraph on your family” said the teacher. The teacher thought the boy will do good at this topic.
After a few moments the boy came back with his writing and read it aloud :
“ I have a nice family. There are 6 members in our family – my father, mother ,grandfather, grandmother , my brother and me. My mother and grandmother do the household works. My father and grandfather are farmers. We have another member in our family – my cow. The cow is a domestic animal. It has two eyes, four legs, two horns and a tail. It lives on grass. I have a cow. It’s color is black. It gives a lot of milk everyday. I drink that milk. I take my cow to the field everyday. I love my cow very much.”
The teacher still had patience. He thought and gave the boy another topic as his homework. The next day he came with his homework and submitted it to his teacher. Here is his homework below :
“My village”
The name of my village is “____” . It is a very big village. There are many families living there including mine. I have a nice family. There are 6 members in our family – my father, mother ,grandfather, grandmother , my brother and me. My mother and grandmother do the household works. My father and grandfather are farmers. We have another member in our family – my cow. The cow is a domestic animal. It has two eyes, four legs, two horns and a tail. It lives on grass. I have a cow. It’s color is black. It gives a lot of milk everyday. I drink that milk. I take my cow to the field everyday. I love my cow very much.

AReality , [v]elcome!
hoi rysperski! The cow also loved you! :P
Oi there,
I also love that cow!!
Mishaikh , thats the fact! The elements of joke are nothing but a part of our real life! And that is an art! Thank you (^_^) !
May be it is look like the silliness of the boy, but I tell you about one of my class mates, (he has now become a politician). He was one of the best debators in our school. He developed an art in his debating, whatever the topic was given to him for speech, he turned in to the "the life of prophet", and in so cleverly that there was never any irrelevancy to the given topic.
So, this may be an art on the part of that boy too.
