Mother was surprised looking at the stranger. He was Bishamber, Phatik's maternal uncle she welcomed him and touched his feet. Bishamber came to see his sister after many years.
The brother asked about studies of the two boys. The sister said that Phatik was a nuisance for her. He was disobedient and wild. But Makhan was very good and gentle and very fond of reading. Bishamber kindly offered to take Phatik to Kolkata and educate him there with his own children. The windowed mother agreed readly.
Phatik agreed to go to Kolkata Joyfully. He was very eager for that. At night he lay awake most of the time. As he parting gift he gave Makhan his fishing-rod, his big kite and his marbles.
Phatik reached Kolkata with his uncle. He met his aunt for the first time. She was not happy seeing Phatik. Her own three boys were difficult to manage. Phatik soon realised that he was an unwelcome guest at his aunt's house. His cousin's mocked at him and his aunt always found fault with him.
