Answer:
An Unexpected Halt 🚍🌙
We were returning from an educational excursion by bus. It was a dark and quiet night, and everyone was tired. Suddenly, the bus stopped with a jerk. The driver informed us that the tyres were punctured. We had to wait for two hours at a lonely place. The silence of the night and the rustling of leaves made us nervous. Finally, the mechanic fixed the tyres, and we resumed our journey. Reaching home safely, we sighed in relief, realizing that even an unexpected delay could become a memorable adventure.
বাংলা অর্থ:
অপ্রত্যাশিত বিরতি 🚍🌙
আমরা একটি শিক্ষামূলক ভ্রমণ থেকে বাসে ফিরছিলাম। রাত ছিল নিস্তব্ধ, আর সবাই ক্লান্ত ছিল। হঠাৎ বাসটি থেমে গেল। চালক জানালেন, টায়ার পাংচার হয়েছে। নির্জন জায়গায় দুই ঘণ্টা অপেক্ষা করতে হলো। রাতের নীরবতা আর পাতার খসখস শব্দ আমাদের আতঙ্কিত করল। অবশেষে মিস্ত্রি টায়ার ঠিক করে দিল, আর আমরা আবার যাত্রা শুরু করলাম। বাড়ি পৌঁছে স্বস্তির নিঃশ্বাস ফেললাম, বুঝলাম—অপ্রত্যাশিত বিলম্বও কখনো স্মরণীয় অভিজ্ঞতা হতে পারে।
