A journey by boat
Introduction:
Bangladesh is a land of rivers. So, it is very easy
to enjoy a journey by boat . A journey by boat is very interesting and
enjoyable in our country.
Time and Occasion:
During the last autumn vacation my father asked me
to go to my sister's house at Daudkandi 20 miles away from our house. So, I got
a chance to make a journey by boat. Two other friends joined me.
Description Of the journey:
We hired a fine boat. We started our journey from
Homna Ghat a 10am. There were two boatmen. The sky was clear. The river was clam
and full to the brim. At first the boatmen plied the boat with oars. When the
wind was favorable they set sail. Soon the boat began to move fast. There were small waves in the river. The boat
began to dance with the waves. The boatmen were singing. It was a
"Bhatiali" Song. It filled us with joy.
Scenery Enjoyed:
We enjoyed the scenery of the river. We saw many
boats big or small plying up and down. We saw some steamers and launches plying
through the river. Fishermen were catching fish in the river. Boys and girls
were swimming . Women were going home with jars filled with water. There were
green fields on both sides of the river. Cattle were grazing here and there.
Destination:
At about 4 pm we reached the ghat of my sister's
house. My sister was very glad to see us. She received us cordially. Thus our
journey came to an end.
Conclusion:
It was the most pleasant journey in my life. I
enjoyed it so much that the memory of the journey will remain ever fresh in my
heart.
