“Oh, let me go ashore just for one day,” he begged the captain when they had sighted land.
“ওহ, আমাকে কেবল একদিনের জন্য উপকূলে যেতে দিন,” সে ক্যাপ্টেনকে অনুরোধ করল যখন তারা স্থলভূমি দেখতে পেল।
One quiet afternoon, he lay fast asleep and fell to dreaming again. Unknown to him, the ship stood offshore from his old farm.
In Jon’s dream the seasons turned rapidly and as each turned, so did Jon in his bed. Consequently, the cap on his head twisted round and about.
Consequently, the cap on his head twisted round and about. It called up a squall from the clear sky that hit the ship without a warning.
The wind had been whirling about the boat tearing the sails and snapping the spars.
“It’s his fault,” the sailors cried. They shouted in anger and fear and tried to rip the cap off his head.
Well, they were unsuccessful, for it was a fairy cap. They pulled it and twisted it and so the squall became a storm, the mightiest they had ever seen.
The captain ordered his men to bring Jon before him.
The captain ordered his men to bring Jon before him.
কিন্তূ টুপিটির দ্বারা ডাকা বাতাসগুলি জাহাজটিকে তিনবার পাক খাওয়াল।
As Jon went under the waves, the cap came off his head. Soon the storm stopped, and Jon swam ashore.
টুপিটি তাঁকে অনুসরণ করল। যখন সে স্থলভাগে পৌঁছল, জন টুপিটি নিল এবং দৌড়ে বাড়ি গেল তার ময়ের কাছে এবং খামারে।
Again in the winter, when the snow lay heavy on the fields, he began to dream of the sea.
Jon went to the wardrobe, got out the fairy cap and stared at it for a long moment.
Tucking it in his shirt, he ran out to the field.
He placed the wind cap under a stone where he knew the fairy man would find it. Then he left again for the seas.
For the rest of his life, Jon spent half the year on a ship and half on the shore till at last he owned his own boat and a hundred acre farmland.
From then on he came to be known as Captain Turtle for he was as much at home on the water as he was on the land.
