Lessons 4-5

The next day was awful. Babul's family couldn't stop crying. Nipa and grandfather were missing.

Babul's father went out to look for them. He found Nipa in a field. She was holding onto a

tree and she was covered in mud. She could not remember anything. He took Nipa at home

and began

looking for his father. He looked in the fields, the buildings and in the trees. Many people in

Bangladesh were missing after Cyclone Aila, and Babul's grandfather was one of them.

The family never found him.

After Cyclone Aila, people worked together. Nipa's school became the shelter for the

survivors. Babul and his family went to live in the school. The government of Bangladesh

and workers from NGOs came to help, but things were very hard. There wasn't enough

safe drinking water or food, so many people became ill. In time, people repaired their

homes and rebuilt their villages and bridges. They planted new trees and new crops

in their fields. Babul feels happy when he looks at the trees and his sister Nipa, but he

feels sad about his grandfather. His grandmother says, "Don't be sad, Babul.

Grandfather wanted us to live for the future."
