Listen to The Silence Under the Sink by Clara Evans as a bilingual audiobook with synchronized read-along text in English and Bengali.
Arthur lived in a cozy little house near the green hills. For three long weeks, a strange sound had ruined his peace. Every night, a steady drip came from under his kitchen sink. Drip, splash, drip, splash, the sound echoed in the dark. It was not a huge leak, but it was very annoying. Arthur tried to ignore the noise, but he could not sleep well. He often woke up at midnight thinking about the wasted water. Today was Saturday, and he finally had enough free time. He decided that today was the day to fix the old pipe. Arthur put on his comfortable cotton trousers and a blue shirt. He walked into his kitchen and looked at the sink cupboard. His loyal dog companion, Barnaby, followed him into the room. Barnaby wagged his tail and sat quietly near the wooden table. Arthur opened his heavy toolbox and placed it on the floor. He needed to clear the space under the sink before starting. He removed several jars of dried lentils, rice, and chamomile tea. He also moved a box of handmade oat soaps to the counter. Next, Arthur turned on a small electric flashlight to see better. He knelt down on the wooden floor and looked inside the cupboard.
