Father’s Help by R.K. Narayan

Unit-I

About author:

Rasipuram Krishnaswami Iyer Narayanaswami, popularly known as R.K. Narayan was born on 10th October 1906 in Madras Presidency (now in Chennai, Tamil Nadu). He is one of the leading figures of early Indian literature in English. His notable works include Malgudi Days and The Guide. He was awarded the Sahitya Academy award in 1958 for The Guide.

The story, an edited excerpt from Malgudi Days, is about a young boy called Swaminathan who is unwilling to go to school but is forced by his father to attend school. The story explores how, through the events that follow, Swami’s original reservations about his teacher, Samuel, get transformed considerably. This famous writer died on 13th May 2001 at the age of 94 years in Chennai, Tamil Nadu.

Text:

Lying in bed, Swami realized with a shudder that it was Monday morning. It looked as though only a moment ago it was Friday. Already Monday was there. He hoped he didn’t have to go to school.

At nine o'clock, Swaminathan wailed, “I have a headache.”

Mother generously suggested that Swami might stay at home. At 9:30, when he ought to have been in the school prayer hall, Swami was lying on the bench in his mother’s room.

Father asked him, “Have you no school today?”

“Headache,” Swami replied.

Nonsense! Dress up and go.”

“Headache!”

Loaf about less on Sundays and will be without a headache on Monday.”

Swami knew how strict his father could be. So he changed his tactics. “I can’t go so late to the class.”

“You’ll have to. It is your own fault.”

“What will the teacher think if I go so late?”

“Tell him you had a headache and so are late.”

“He will scold me if I say so.”

“Will he? Let us see. What is his name?”

“Samuel!”

“Does he always scold the students?”

“He is a very angry man. He is especially angry with boys who come in late. I wouldn’t like to go late to Samuel’s class.”

“If he is so angry, why not tell your headmaster about it?”

“They say that even the headmaster is afraid of him.”

বঙ্গানুবাদ

 বিছানায় শুয়ে, স্বামী একটি ঝাঁকুনি অনুভব করল এবং উপলব্ধি করতে পারল যে এটা সোমবারের সকাল। এটা মনে হচ্ছিল এক মুহুর্ত আগে ছিল শুক্রবার। এর মধ্যেই সোমবার এসে গেল। সে আশা করেছিল যে, তাকে বিদ্যালয়ে যেতে হবে না।

সকাল 9 টার সময় স্বামীনাথন চিৎকার করে কান্না করতে করতে বলল যে তার মাথা ব্যাথা করছে।

মা উদারভাবে পরামর্শ দিলেন যে স্বামী আজকে বাড়িতে থাকতে। সকাল সাড়ে 9 টায়, যখন তার বিদ্যালয়ের প্রার্থনার ঘরে থাকার কথা ছিল, তখন স্বামী মায়ের ঘরের বেঞ্চের ওপর শুয়ে ছিল।

বাবা স্বামীকে জিজ্ঞাসা করলেন, আজকে তোমার স্কুল নেই?

মাথা ব্যাথা, স্বামী উত্তর দিল।

বোকা কোথাকার! স্কুল ড্রেস পরো এবং স্কুলে যাও।

মাথা ব্যাথা!

রবিবারে একটু কম ঘুরে বেড়াও তাহলে সোমবারে তোমার মাথা ব্যাথা হবে না। স্বামী জানত যে, বাবা কতটা কঠোর হতে পারেন। তাই সে তার কৌশল বদলে ফেলল। আমি এত দেরি করে স্কুলে যেতে পারব না।

তোমাকে যেতে হবে, এটা তোমার নিজের দোষ।

শিক্ষক মহাশয়রা কি ভাববেন যদি আমি এত দেরি করে স্কুলে যায়?

তুমি তাঁদেরকে বলবে যে তোমার মাথা ব্যাথা করছিল, তাই এত দেরি।

তিনি আমাকে বকবেন যদি আমি এইসব বলি।

তিনি তোমাকে বকবেন? চলো দেখা যাক। তাঁর নাম কী?

স্যামুয়েল।

তিনি কি সর্বদা ছাত্রছাত্রীদের বকেন?

তিনি একজন খুব রাগী মানুষ। বিশেষ করে, তিনি সেই ছেলেদের প্রতি রেগে যান, যারা দেরি করে আসে। আমি স্যামুয়েলের ক্লাসে দেরি করে যেতে চাই না।

যদি তিনি এতটায় রাগী হন তবে তোমরা প্রধান শিক্ষক মহাশয়কে এব্যাপারে বলছো না?

সবাই বলা বলি করে যে, এমনকি প্রধান শিক্ষক মহাশয়ও তাঁকে ভয় পান।
