• Dhunu : We lose our farm in the flood every year. Why do you still farm ? It happened last time too.

  Mother : Work is religion for us. Hard work is the only thing we have.

• Dhunu : How did you learn to swim ?

  Mother : We were fishing on the other bank. I couldn't swim yet, I didn't know what to do. My friends encouraged me to swim back and kept telling me i could do it. So i swam but then they were far away. I swam and swam... .three times i sank before reaching the bank. That's how i learnt.

  Dhunu : You learnt just like that.

  Mother : You can also learn if you show courage.

  Dhunu : Why father could not swim ?

  Mother : He never stopped being afraid. That is why he drowned in the flood.
