Lesson 9: Hridoy Gets a Letter from His Cousin

A. Read the Letter.

Jonakipur High School P.O. Jonakipur Dist. Nilphamari

12 May 2013 Dear Hridoy,

Thank you for your letter of 1 May. It gives us such an exciting piece of news! I cannot still believe that there could be a shop without a shopkeeper. I told about it to my relatives, friends, classmates, and, of course, my teacher, Miss Nishat. Everybody was surprised. Miss Nishat liked the idea so much that she immediately talked about it to our Headteacher. We had already a meeting in our school with teachers and students. At the beginning of the meeting, the Headteacher asked me to talk about the Morality Shop in your school. At first, I read out part of your letter, and then I explained how such a shop in your school is greatly helping you —the students, teachers, and the community at large. The Headteacher was quite positive about the usefulness of such a shop. He formed a committee with Miss Nishat and two other teachers and some senior students to draw up a plan for opening a morality shop in our school. Isn’t it great? You will be glad to know that I am on the committee too.

I’m coming to see your Morality Shop with a friend of mine next weekend. See you then. Give my regards to Aunt and Uncle.

All the best, Riah
