meghna river...meghna river...
Here’s a short story inspired by the Meghna River:
---
The Meghna River flowed in silence, carrying with it the whispers of centuries. Its wide arms embraced villages, green fields, and fishing boats that danced upon its waves. At dawn, the river blushed golden under the rising sun, while fishermen cast their nets with hopes tied to the water’s generosity.
Once, a little boy named Rahim stood by its bank every morning, barefoot on the damp soil. His father, a fisherman, often said, “The Meghna is more than water, it is life itself. It feeds us, carries us, and tells us stories if we listen.”
One stormy night, the river roared with fury, waves thrashing against the boats tied ashore. Rahim’s father fought the storm to save his catch, but when the dawn broke, only silence remained. Rahim stood at the riverbank again, but this time, the Meghna’s song felt different—sad, yet protective, as though it carried his father’s spirit within its endless depths.
Years later, Rahim grew into a strong fisherman himself. Every time he sailed into the Meghna, he spoke to the river as though speaking to his father. The water always replied—sometimes with fish, sometimes with storms, but always with love.
And so, the Meghna lived on, not just as a river, but as a keeper of memories, hope, and eternal connection between people and nature.

Would you like me to make this story short and poetic (like something you could use as a Facebook post/caption), or keep it as a longer
folk-tale style?
