It's
a beautiful spring day. Maria wakes up early feeling happy. She knows that it
is a nice day because she can smell the flowers. She can feel the soft warmth
of the sun and can hear the birds singing.
Maria
cannot see the spring day, she can't see the lovely flowers, or the blue sky.
She can't see the new green leaves on the trees. She cannot see the colours
because she is visually impaired. She has been visually impaired since birth.
But
Maria is happy. She goes to a school where she is learning to read using the
Braille. Braille is a kind of script in which the words are written in raised
dots. Maria is learning to read by touching the raised dots with her fingers.
She loves to go to school. Maria's teacher says that she is a quick learner.
Maria
has a dream. She wants to get the highest education from a university. Then she
wants to set up a school of her own. She has another dream too. She wants to be

experiences.

There
are many birds found in our country. Birds have feathers. They have wings and
most of them can fly. The penguin and the ostrich are two of the few birds
which cannot fly. They aren't found in Bangladesh. The humming birds are the
smallest birds in the world. They are not found in Bangladesh.
The
crow, the sparrow, the doel, the shalik, the kingfisher are the common birds of
Bangladesh. We also see cuckoo in the spring. Its voice is very sweet. That's
why people like and love this bird most. Parrots and mynah birds can talk.
People keep these birds as pets. They keep them in cages. Birds are not happy
in cages.
Birds
are warm blooded. Most birds are very light. Their bodies are shaped like
aeroplanes. Birds have strong wing and chest muscles and very light hollow
bones. These help the birds fly.
After
a male and female bird mate, they build a nest. Birds build their nests in all
kinds of places. Usually, the nests are high up in trees. Some birds, sparrows,
build their nests in walls and cliffs. The cuckoo does not build a nest. The
female cuckoo lays her eggs in crow's nest.
Most
birds lay two or three eggs. Eggs have to be kept warm, so one of the birds
sits on them. Soon the baby birds hatch. The chicks are usually blind and bald.
They have to be fed by the adult birds.
