The ceiling depends on the wall
wall is dependent on the ground.
Everything in this world is sustained depends on something.

 Bangla: ছাউনি দেয়ালের উপর নির্ভরশীল 
দেয়াল ভূমির উপর উপর নির্ভরশীল। 
পৃথিবীর সবকিছুই কিছু না কিছুর উপর নির্ভর করে টিকে থাকে। 

 Norwegian: Taket er avhengig av veggen
veggen er avhengig av bakken.
Alt i denne verden er vedvarende avhenger noe.
