A conversation


Ri threw a toy at SSM and then the following conversation took place:

SSM: Ri, aamra shob bhaalo toh, aamra ei rom jinish chure phele na. (Good human beings like us do not throw things at others)

Ri: Hmm.

SSM: Chure phelle lok e laage. (It could hurt people)

Ri: Hmm.

SSM: Lok e byaatha paaye. (It could cause pain to people)

Ri: Hmm.

SSM: Laagle toh lok kaadbe. (People cry when you hurt them)

Ri: Hmm.

SSM: Tumi ki chao lok kaade? (Do you want people to cry?)

Ri: Na.

SSM: Lok baaje chele bolle tomar ki bhalo lagbe? (Will you like it if people call you a bad boy?)

Ri: Na.

SSM: Ar phelbe na toh? (You won't throw things again, right?)

Ri: Na.

SSM: Good boy!

A long pause... Ri is still staring very seriously at SSM... And then...

...Ri(very slowly): Lok kothay? (where are the people?)


And I burst out laughing.
