পাঠ করা রামধনু Article: Little Nino's Pizzeria

posted by hornean

My dad, Nino, makes the best পিজা in the world.
I’m his best helper.

I help knead the পিজা dough,

I help stir the পিজা sauce,

and I help grate the cheese.

When the customers are finished, I know how to pick up their plates

and carry out the dirty dishes.

I help give the extra pizzas to hungry people in the alley who have no homes.

And…I help my dad serve our পিজা pies!

People come from all over town to eat at Little Nino’s.
They wait in long lines because our restaurant is so small.

One night a man came to see my dad after the last pizza.
What did he want?

That night my dad told my mom we would be making lots আরো money now.

The পরবর্তি day, my dad locked up Little Nino’s. Soon he opened a big, fancy, expensive restaurant. He called it Big Nino.

I tried to help in the dining room. But the waiters tripped over me and spilled a lot of food.

I tried to help in the kitchen, but François the chef pushed me away.

I asked my dad how I could help, but he was too busy to even notice me.

No matter how I tried to be helpful, I was always in the way.

So I went home.

I missed Little Nino’s.

But then one night my dad came প্রথমপাতা from Big Nino extra-tired. He said…

“I miss cutting tomatoes, and chopping onions, and kneading dough.…”

“I’m tired of so much paperwork and money talk,” he shouted. “I want…

I WANT TO MAKE PIZZA!”

And then he looked at me.
“Tony—my best helper!”

So the পরবর্তি দিন we went back to Little Nino’s. Soon we reopened it, and the man from Big Nino got a new person to be in charge there.

My dad, Nino, still makes the best পিজা in the world.
But he changed the name of our restaurant.

Little Tony’s!

On The দিন আপনি Were Born

posted by hornean

On the eve of your birth
word of your coming
passed from animal to animal.

The reindeer told the Arctic terns,
who told the humpback whales,
who told the Pacific salmon,

who told the monarch butterflies,
who told the green turtles,
who told the European eel,
who told the busy garden warblers,

and the marvelous news migrated worldwide.

While আপনি waited in darkness,
tiny knees curled to chin,
the Earth and her creatures
with the Sun and the Moon
all moved in their places,
each ready to greet you
the very first moment
of the very first দিন আপনি arrived.

On the দিন আপনি were born
the round planet Earth
turned toward...

Dinosaur Bob and his Adventures with the Family Lazardo

posted by hornean

Every year, before the start of the baseball season, the Lazardo family took a trip far from their প্রথমপাতা in Pimlico Hills. One afternoon, while on safari in Africa, young Scotty Lazardo wandered away from camp. He returned with a dinosaur.
"Look what I caught!" he said.
"Can we keep him?" pleaded Scotty's sisters, Zelda and Velma.
"I don't see why not." ব্যক্ত Dr. Lazardo.
"He looks kind of like my uncle Bob," ব্যক্ত Mrs. Lazardo.
Jumbu, their bodyguard, ব্যক্ত nothing.
Scotty patted the dinosaur on the nose. "Bob?" he tried.
The dinosaur smiled and wagged his giant tail.
So they named him Bob.

With Bob along,...
