Faria and Raihan are cousins. Faria lives in a village and Raihan lives in a city. During summer vacation, Raihan visits his grandparent's house. Faria is showing Raihan around. Their conversation goes like that -

Faria: Hey Raihan, do you like my village?

Raihan: Very much. I really like the calmness here.

Faria: That's true. Okay, let's go to our school.

Raihan: That's great! I'll love that.

Faria: Here is my school. (Standing in front of the school)

Raihan: Let's get inside, will that be all right?

Faria: It will be just fine.

Raihan: Look at that!! So nice, I must say. (Pointing to a large body of water)

Faria: That's a "Dighi", my dear cousin. Don't you have one in yours?

Raihan: We have a small one, a pond you can say and it is surrounded by a multi- storied school building.

Faria: This's our school garden (pointing to a garden), we all love it.

Raihan: We have a tiny one too (smiling).

Faria: So, what do you like most about your school?

Raihan: We have a huge library. Do you have a library here?

Faria: Yes, but it's a small one. You know what, here, one thing I don't like at all. It is muddy roads in the rainy season.

Raihan: Our school is next to a very busy road. The vehicles and their horns make me crazy. Also, it's very risky to cross the road. Hey, look how many birds!

Faria: Yeah, they nest in the nearby trees.

Raihan: We don't have too many trees around our school, so unfortunate.

Faria: Let's go to the playground.

Raihan: That's your playground! Where does it end? If we had such a big one in our school!

Faria: A playground is a must in a school. I will love to see your school.

Raihan: Sure, visit us on your next vacation. I'll show you.

Faria: Won't it be great if we find a school that has all the good things from both of our schools?

Raihan: 'A dream school' that will be......
