Grønnsaksmusikk.

I Bangladesh har man en god del grønnsaker vi ikke dyrker eller får tak i i Norge. Denne grønnsaken heter "laou", og kan bli ganske stor. Derfor har noen laga en morsom sang der man synger om å lage et musikkinstrument av grønnsaken. Denne lærte jeg i Gopalgonj, og den går som følger..

In Bangladesh you find some vegetables that we don't grow or that is not avaliable in Norway. This vegetable is called "laou", and can grow quite big in size. Therefore someone has made a song where one sings about making a musical instrument of this vegetable. This song was taught to me during my stay in Gopalgonj, and it goes like this..
