Once there was ……………. tree was happy.

एक बार एक मादा वृक्ष था और वह एक छोटे से बच्चे को प्यार/दुलार करता था। बच्चा प्रतिदिन आता था, सेब खाता था और उसके साथ खेलता था। वह उसकी टहनियों पर झूलता था और सेब खाता था। बच्चा वृक्ष को बहुत प्यार करता था। इसलिए वृक्ष खुश था।

समय बीतता गया। बच्चा बड़ा हो गया। वृक्ष प्रायः अकेला रहता था। एक दिन बच्चा वृक्ष के पास आया। वृक्ष ने कहा, “आओ, बच्चे, आओ। मेरे तने पर चढ़ जाओ, मेरी टहनियों पर झूलो, सेब खाओ और खुश रहो।” बच्चे ने कहा, “मैं इतना बड़ा हो गया हूँ कि मैं चढ और खेल नहीं सकता।

मुझे मनोरंजन के लिए कुछ चीजें खरीदने के लिए कुछ पैसे चाहिएं। क्या तुम मुझे कुछ पैसे दे सकते हो ?” वृक्ष ने कहा, “मेरे पास पैसे नहीं है परन्तु तुम मेरे सेब ले सकते हो और उन्हें ले जाकर शहर में बेच सकते हो तब तुम्हारे पास कुछ पैसा आ जायेगा और तुम खुश रहोगे।”

बच्चे ने वैसा ही किया और चला गया। वृक्ष खुश था। बच्चा लम्बे समय तक वापिस नहीं आया। वृक्ष उदास था। एक दिन बच्चा वापिस आया। वृक्ष ने खुशी से कहा, “आओ, बच्चे, आओ। मेरे तने पर चढ़ जाओ, मेरी टहनियों पर झूलो, सेब खाओ और खुश रहो।” बच्चे ने कहा, “मैं इतना व्यस्त हूँ कि मैं वृक्षों पर नहीं चढ़ सकता।

मैं शादी करना चाहता हूँ। मुझे एक घर चाहिए। क्या तुम मुझे एक घर दे सकते हो ?” वृक्ष ने कहा, “तुम मेरी शाखाओं को काट . सकते हो। घर बना लो और खुश रहो। “बच्चे ने उसकी शाखाओं को काटा और ले जाकर अपना घर बना लिया। वृक्ष खुश था।

क्या तुम मुझे एक नाव दे सकते हो जो मुझे दूसरे शहर ले जाये ?” वृक्ष ने कहा, “मेरा तना काट लो और नाव बना लो। तब तुम नाव चला कर दूर जा सकते हो और खुश रह सकते हो।” बच्चे ने वही किया और नाव पर चला गया। वृक्ष खुश हो गया परन्तु वास्तव में वह खुश नहीं था।

बहुत समय बाद वह बच्चा जो अब बूढ़ा आदमी बन चुका था वापिस लौट आया। वृक्ष ने कहा, “बच्चे, मुझे खेद है, मेरे पास तुम्हें देने के लिए कुछ नहीं है। काश! मैं तुम्हें कुछ दे पाता। मैं केवल एक पुराना ढूंठ हूँ।” बालक (बूढ़ा आदमी) ने कहा, “मुझे अब कुछ नहीं चाहिए।

मैं तो केवल बैठने और आराम करने के लिए एक शांत जगह चाहता हूँ। मैं बहुत थक चुका हूँ।” “अच्छा, एक पुराना लूंठ बैठने और आराम करने के लिए अच्छी जगह है। आओ, बच्चे बैठ जाओ और आराम करो।” बालक आराम करने के लिए ढूंठ पर बैठ गया। इससे वृक्ष बहुत ही खुश हो गया।

The Cracked Pot Summary in Hindi

There was a water ………. of my crack.”

भारत में एक पनहारा (पानी लाने वाला) था। उसके पास दो बड़े बर्तन (घड़े) थे। प्रत्येक घड़ा एक डंडे के सिरे पर लटका रहता था। वह इन घड़ों को अपने कंधे पर उठाता था। वह इन दोनों घड़ों में अपने मालिक को पानी पहुँचाता था। इनमें से एक घड़े में एक दरार थी परन्तु दूसरा घड़ा बिल्कुल ठीक था। नदी से दूर उसके मालिक के घर तक चलतेचलते दरार वाला घड़ा सदा आधा (भरा) रह जाता था। परन्तु दूसरा घड़ा पानी से पूरा भरा रहता था।

नि:सदेह ठीक घड़े को अपने ऊपर गर्व था। वह उस कार्य के लिए पूर्ण था जिसके लिए उसे बनाया गया था। परन्तु बेचारा दरार वाला घड़ा अपनी दरार के लिए शर्मिंदा था। उसे इस बात का दुःख था कि वह केवल आधा पानी ही ला सकता है। दो साल तक प्रतिदिन ऐसे ही चलता रहा। पनहारा अपने मालिक के घर केवल डेढ़ घड़ा पानी ही पहुंचाता था।

दो वर्षों बाद, एक दिन दरार वाला घड़ा पनहारे से बोला, “मैं अपने आप से शर्मिंदा हूँ। और मैं आपसे माफी मांगना चाहता हूँ।” पनहारे ने कहा, “क्यों ? तुम्हें किस बात की शर्मिंदगी है।” घड़े ने उत्तर दिया, “इन दो सालों में मैंने दूसरे घड़े की अपेक्षा अपनी दरार की वजह से कम पानी दिया है। मेरा पानी तुम्हारे मालिक के घर तक बहता रहता है। तुम्हें मेरी दरार के कारण अपनी मेहनत का पूरा मूल्य नहीं मिल पाता।”

The water bearer ………………………… beautiful flowers.”

पनहारे ने दरार वाले पुराने घड़े के प्रति खेद प्रकट किया। उसने घड़े से कहा, “मैं चाहता हूँ कि आज जब हम वापिस मालिक के घर की ओर आएं तो तुम रास्ते के साथ-साथ सुन्दर फूलों की ओर ध्यान देना ।”
जब वे नदी से लौटे, दरार वाले घड़े ने रास्ते में सुन्दर जंगली फूलों को ध्यान से देखा जिन्हें धूप की गर्मी मिल रही थी। वह सुन्दर फूलों को देखकर खुश हुआ, परन्तु पंगडंडी के अंत में उसे अब भी बुरा महसूस हुआ क्योंकि उसका आधा पानी फिर से निकल गया था। उसने अपनी गलती के लिए पनहारे से माफ़ी मांगी।

पनहारे ने घड़े से कहा, “क्या तुमने ध्यान दिया कि पगडंडी के रास्ते में फूल केवल तुम्हारी ओर ही थे। दूसरे घड़े की ओर एक भी फूल नहीं था। मुझे तुम्हारी दरार के बारे में पता था। मैंने रास्ते पर तुम्हारी ओर ही फूलों के बीज बोये थे और प्रतिदिन नदी से वापिस आते हुए दरार से बहता हुआ पानी इन पर गिरता था। तुम्हारे बिना, जैसे कि तुम (छेद वाले) हो, हम इन सुन्दर फूलों को नहीं देख सकते थे।

How Beautiful is the Rain Summary in Hindi

कवि कहता है कि गर्मियों की वर्षा बहुत ही सुंदर और सुहावनी होती है। यह सुंदर तथा दर्शनीय दृश्य प्रस्तुत करती है। धूल-मिटी के मौसम के बाद इसका पानी तपती हुई तंग तथा चौड़ी गलियों में बहने लगता है। वर्षा छतों पर खटखट की आवाज़ पैदा करती है। ऐसे लगता है जैसे बहुत से जानवर अपने खुर नीचे पटक रहे हों।

वर्षा का पानी तेज़ गति से संघर्ष करता हुआ छत की पाईप में से निकलता है। यह खिड़की के शीशों पर बड़ी ऊंची लहर की तरह नीचे की ओर बहता है। गड्ढों में से यह मटमैला होकर शोर करता (गरजता) हुआ निकलता है। ऐसे लगता है, जैसे कोई नदी की तेज़ धारा बह रही हो। ऐसी वर्षा स्वागत योग्य है।

Kabuliwala Summary in Hindi

Little Mini ……………………….. five-year-old.

छोटी मिनी पाँच वर्ष की थी और बड़ी बातूनी थी। उसका हर समय बात किए बिना गुजारा नहीं था। उसकी माँ प्राय: मिनी की कभी न रुकने वाली बातों से परेशान रहती थी और उसे चुप कराने का प्रयास करती थी। परंतु कोई सोच भी नहीं सकता था कि मिनी चुप हो जाएगी। अपने पिता जी के साथ उसकी बातचीत सदा बहुत ही सजीव होती थी।

एक दिन मिनी दौड़ती हुई अपने पिता के अध्ययन कक्ष में आई। वह अपने पिता को बाजुओं में भरकर बोली, “पिता जी, आप क्या सोचते हैं ? भोला कहता है कि बादलों में एक हाथी है जो अपनी सूंड से पानी बिखेरता है, इसलिए वर्षा होती है।” इससे पहले कि उसके पिता उत्तर देते वह “ए काबुलीवाला ए काबुलीवाला” चिल्लाते हुई खिड़की की ओर दौड़ी।

मिनी ने काबुलीवाला को आवाज़ दी, परंतु जब उसने (काबुलीवाला ने) उसकी ओर देखा तो वह डर गई और दौड़ कर अपने पिता के पास चली आई। उसने सुन रखा था कि काबुलीवाले बच्चों को पकड़ लेते हैं और उन्हें अपने थैले में डाल कर ले जाते है। काबुलीवाला मिनी के घर आया। मिनी का पिता इस बात से विश्वस्त होना चाहता था कि मिनी बाहर जा कर उससे मिले। शीघ्र ही मिनी को उसका डर जाता रहा। उन्हें लम्बी दाढ़ी वाले बड़े पठान को पांच वर्षीय बच्ची से मीठी-मीठी बातें करते देख बहुत खुशी हो रही थी।

The Kabuliwala was…………………..dors long ego.

काबुलीवाला अब हर रोज़ मिनी के घर आने लगा। वे कई घंटे बातें करते और एक-दूसरे के साथ मज़ाक करते। “काबुलीवाला, ओ काबुलीवाला ! तुम्हारे थैले में क्या है ?” मिनी पूछती। “एक हाथी,” काबुलीवाला उत्तर देता और दोनों ठहाका मार कर हंसने लगते। वर्ष में एक बार रहमान जो काबुलीवाले का नाम था, अपने देश वापिस चला जाता था। जाने से पहले वह लोगों से उधार के पैसे इकट्ठे करता था। यद्यपि रहमान व्यस्त रहता था, फिर भी वह मिनी से मिलने के लिए सदा समय निकाल लेता।

एक दिन गली में बहुत अधिक शोर मच गया। रहमान ने एक आदमी को जिसने उसके पैसे देने थे, छुरा मार दिया था। इस अपराध में उसे जेल भेज दिया गया। समय गुजरता गया और मिनी शीघ्र ही अपने पुराने मित्र, काबुलीवाला को भूल गई। वह एक बहुत ही सुन्दर स्त्री के रूप में बड़ी हो रही थी।

उसके पिता ने मिनी के विवाह का प्रबन्ध किया। मिनी का उस रात विवाह हो रहा था। जब उसके पिता अपने अध्ययन कक्ष में बैठे थे, एक आदमी आया और उसने उनको आदरपूर्वक सलाम किया। पहले तो वह उस व्यक्ति को पहचान नहीं पाये। शीघ्र ही उन्हें यह महसूस हुआ कि वह काबुलीवाला रहमान है। मिनी के पिता ने उसे बताया कि घर में कुछ रस्में चल रही हैं, इसलिए वह किसी और दिन आए।

जाते-जाते वह मुड़ा और बोला, ” श्रीमान् जी, क्या मैं छोटी बच्ची से मिल सकता हूँ ?” . वह अब भी मिनी को छोटी-सी बच्ची समझ रहा था जो “काबुलीवाला, ओ काबुलीवाला” पुकारती हुई उसके पास दौड़ी चली आती थी। वह सोच रहा था कि वह बहुत पहले की तरह बातें करेंगे और हंसेंगें।

Mini’s father told him …………….. once again.

मिनी के पिता ने एक बार फिर उसे बताया कि घर में रस्में चल रही हैं। तब काबुलीवाले ने उन्हें मिनी के लिए सूखी किशमिश, अखरोट और बादामों का एक छोटा-सा पैकेट देते हुए कहा, “ये छोटी बच्ची को दे दें। मेरी भी उस जैसी एक बच्ची है, मैं उसके बारे में सोच कर आपके पास ये मेवे लाया हूँ।”

मिनी के पिता अपने आंसू न रोक पाए। उन्होंने महसूस किया कि गरीब काबुलीवाला भी पिता है। उन्होंने मिनी को बुलाया जो दुल्हन की पोशाक में बाहर आई। काबुलीवाला यह देख कर स्तब्ध रह गया कि वह जि छोटी सी मिनी को जानता था वह बड़ी हो कर एक सुन्दर स्त्री बन गई है।

अचानक उसने महसूस किया कि उसकी अपनी पुत्री भी बड़ी हो गई होगी और वह रोने लगा। मिनी के पिता ने कुछ पैसे निकाले और रहमान को देते हुए बोले, “जाओ, जाकर अपनी पुत्री से मिलो। भगवान करे तुम्हें हर खुशी प्राप्त हो।” मिनी के पिता को विवाह के खर्चे घटाने पड़े। वह अब मिल्ट्री बैंड या बिजली की व्यवस्था नहीं कर सकते थे परन्तु उन्हें इस बात की प्रसन्नता थी कि उनके धन से बहुत समय पहले अपनी इकलौती बच्ची से जुदा हुआ पिता पुनः उससे मिल जाएगा।

My Furry Friend Summary in English

The poet brought a furry puppy in home. He was black and white in colour. His eyes were soft brown. He looked very happy and slept day and night. Though the puppy was small in size, his tummy was very fat. He nibbled at everything it found in the house.

He tore down his toys and made a funny noise. He enjoyed family talks and growled when he was asked to go away. Next he was fully grown and always looked angry. He would not allow you to touch his food. Meat was his favourite food. He was always hungry for it and ate it greedily.

My Furry Friend Summary in Hindi

कवि एक छोटा सा रोएंदार (फर वाला) पिल्ला घर ले आया। देखने में यह एक चूहे जितना लगता था। इसका रंग काला और सफेद था। इसकी हल्की-भूरी आंखें थीं और इसका पेट मोटा था। यह हर समय सोया रहता था और बहुत ही खुश दिखाई देता था।

पिल्ले की आदतें अजीब थीं और वह अजीब हरकतें करता था। वह चूहे की तरह चीज़ों को कुतरता था और उसे जो कुछ भी मिलता था खा जाता था। वह बहुत ही फुर्तीला था और हर समय लड़ने को तैयार रहता था। वह अपने खिलौने तोड़-फोड़ देता था और अजीब शोर करता था।

पिल्ले को कवि तथा परिवार की बातचीत सुनने में आनंद आता था। इसलिए वह उनके बीच आ बैठता था। भगाने पर भी वह नहीं जाता था और गुर्राने लगता था। अब पिल्ला कुत्ता बन चुका था और हर समय गुस्से में रहता था। वह खाने का बहुत शौकीन था और हर समय मांस खाने को मांगता था। जब भी उसे उसका मनपसंद खाना दिया जाता था, वह तेज़ी से उठ खड़ा होता था। उसके बाद वह अपने खाने को हाथ भी नहीं लगाने देता था।

Reading a short passage

The Right Way to Brush Not many of us know how to brush out teeth properly. Proper burshing takes at least two minutes twice a day. Brushing should be gentle. Use small headed tooth brush beacuse it can reach all the areas of the mouth. You must clean the outer surfaces of your upper teeth and then your lower teeth. You must clean the inner surfaces of your upper teeth and then your lower teeth. Also clean the chewing surfaces. You must not forget to brush your tongue too. Brushing of tongue removes bacteria and freshens the breath. You must replace your toothbrush every three months.

The Farmhouse Cows Summary in Hindi

Rajinder got very ………………………. simply delicious !”

राजिन्दर के माता पिता ने शहर से गांव में जाने के लिए गांव में एक खेत (फार्म) खरीदा था, इसलिए वह बहुत खुश था। यहाँ सब कुछ भिन्न था। यहाँ पर व्यस्त सड़कों के विपरीत छोटी-छोटी हरी-भरी गलियां (सड़कें), ऊँची इमारतों के विपरीत बड़े-बड़े पेड़ और ढेर सारे पशु-पक्षी थे।

राजिन्दर ने जानवरों को गिना और अपनी माता से कहा, “माँ, खेतों में बत्तीस बकरियां और छ: छोटे-छोटे बच्चे हैं। खेत पर नौ घोड़े हैं और मैंने सुबह दो खरगोश तथा लगभग बारह बत्तखें भी देखी हैं। मैं उन्हें ठीक ढंग से नहीं गिन पाया क्योंकि वे एक स्थान पर नहीं टिक पा रही थीं। मुर्गियां भी नहीं टिक रही थीं।” माता ने पूछा, “गायों के बारे में क्या?” “क्या तुमने उन्हें गिना है?”

राजिन्दर ने कहा, “मुझे गाय पसन्द नहीं हैं। उनके सींग बड़े-बड़े होते हैं और वे मुझ पर गरजती (गुस्सा करती) हैं। माता ने कहा, “अरे, नहीं। शेर गरजते हैं। गाय तो केवल भाएं-भाएं (Moo) करती हैं।” राजिन्दर ने कहा, “ठीक है, मुझे तो यह शेर की आवाज जैसी लगती है।” “मैं गायों को बिल्कुल भी पसंद नहीं करता ।

वे बुरी होती हैं।” माता ने कहा, ” नहीं, वे बहुत अच्छी मित्र होती हैं। वे हमें स्वादिष्ट उपहार देती हैं।” उन्होंने एक दूध का जग नीचे उतारा। उन्होंने उसे एक प्याले में डालकर राजिन्दर को दिया। वह उसे पी गया। उसने सिर हिलाकर मां से पूछा, “तो, क्या यह गाय से मिला है? अच्छा, पर यह तो स्वादिष्ट था।”

At lunch time …………………………. out of it.

दोपहर के भोजन के सश्चश्चमय माता जी ने राजिन्दर को सेब वाला एक मीठा पकवान खाने को दिया। उसने कसटर्ड के लिए, इधर-उधर देखा जो साधारणतया उसकी माँ उसके लिए इस पकवान के साथ बनाती थी। वह नहीं था। माता ने राजिन्दर को मोटी गाढ़ी मलाई से भरा एक छोटा सा जग दिया और कहा, “गाय ने तुम्हारे लिए यह उपहार भेजा है।” कितना प्यारा था यह। राजिन्दर ने इसे अपने सेबों पर डाल लिया।

ये पहले से अधिक स्वादिष्ट लग रहे थे। छोटे बच्चे ने कहा, “तो ये भी गाय से मिलती है! अच्छा, तो यह एक दयालु जानवर होगा।” माता जी ने कहा, “हाँ, यह तो है। ये सभी चीजें गाय के दूध से बनती हैं।” राजिन्दर यह जानकर हैरान था कि गाय हमें इतना सारा दूध देती है जिससे उसकी मां इतनी सारी चीजें बना लेती है। चाय के समय माता जी ने ब्रैड के एक पीस घर का बना जैम लगाकर मेज़ पर परोसा। सामान्यत: यहाँ पर ब्रेड के स्लाइस (टुकड़े) और मक्खन होता था। राजिन्दर देखो, “गाय ने मेरे लिए भी एक उपहार भेजा है।”

माता जी ने यह कहते हुए पनीर वाले बर्तन का ढक्कन उठाया। राजिन्दर ने उसके अंदर घर में बने पनीर का बड़ा सा ढेर देखा। माँ ने अपने लिए पनीर का एक टुकड़ा काटा और कहा यह बहुत स्वादिष्ट है। राजिन्दर ने कहा, “क्या मैं अपने ब्रेड पर भी थोड़ा सा लगा सकता हूँ।” राजिन्दर ने कहा, “ओह! मेरे भगवान ! कितना अच्छा मित्रों जैसा जीव है गाय ! अब न तो मैं इससे घृणा करूँगा और न ही इससे डरूँगा।”

माँ ने कहा, “इसका कोई कारण भी नहीं है।” राजिन्दर ने कहा, “मैं गायों के खेतों की ओर जाने वाले गेट पर जाऊँगा और वहाँ खड़े होकर गायों का धन्यवाद करूँगा। मैं नहीं जानता था कि वे इतनी दयालु होती हैं !” और अब राजिन्दर गायों से बिल्कुल भी भयभीत नहीं है और वह उन्हें बहुत पसंद करता है। वह कहता है कि ये उसकी मित्र हैं। आप क्या कहते हैं ?

Rosy’s meeting with Nessy Summary in Hindi

Rosy had come ………………….. believed them.

रोज़ी अपनी आंटी टीना से मिलने स्कॉटलैंड आई जो कि यूनाइटिड किंगडम के उत्तर में है। उसकी आंटी लॉच नैस् (Loch Ness) के निकट रहती थी। लॉच नैस् एक गहरी झील है। रोज़ी अपनी आंटी के घर पर बोर होने लगी। उसने कहा, “आंटी टीना, मैं नीचे झील पर जाना चाहती हूँ। मैं बोर हो रही हूँ।” उसकी आंटी ने कहा, “अवश्य, रोज़ी तुम जा सकती हो। तुम वहाँ क्या करोगी ?”

रोज़ी ने कहा, “मैं पानी में पत्थर फेंकूगी और लहरों को देखूगी। टीना की आंटी ने कहा “झील के बहुत नज़दीक मत जाना। वह बहुत गहरी और खतरनाक है।” रोजी दरवाज़े से बाहर की ओर भागी और फिर झील की ओर। वह एक बोर्ड के आगे से निकली जिस पर लिखा था-“Loch Ness-Home of the Famous Loch Ness Monster”.

(प्रसिद्ध लॉच नैस् दानव का घर।) रोज़ी ने बोर्ड पढ़ा और मुस्कराई। उसके माता-पिता ने उसे बताया था कि ऐसा कुछ . नहीं होता। यह एक काल्पनिक कथा थी। रोज़ी उन पर विश्वास करने लगी थी। .

Reaching the Lakeshore …………….. said Nessy.

झील के किनारे पहुँचकर उसने चारों ओर कुछ छोटे पत्थरों की तलाश की ताकि वह उन्हें झील में फेंक सके। उसने कुछ पत्थर इकट्ठे किये और उन्हें गिन कर अपनी जेब में डाल लिया। उसने बैठने के लिए एक सुन्दर स्थान की तलाश की और उसे झील के निकट एक बड़ी चट्टान मिल गई। वह पत्थरों को दूर से दूर फेंकने लगी। हर पत्थर जैसे ही पानी को छूता उसमें से पाक (SPLASH) की आवाज़ आती।

उसे पानी की आवाज़ अच्छी लगती और वह गोलगोल लहरों को देखकर आनन्द लेती। वह उन्हें धीरे-धीरे दूर जाते और पानी में समाते देखकर खुश होती। उसने एक और पत्थर फेंका। पाक (SPLASH) की आवाज़ आई। उसे आवाज़ और दृश्य अच्छे लगे। वह एक के बाद एक पत्थर फेंकती रही। वहाँ पानी बहुत अधिक गहरा लगता था।

उसने एक और पत्थर फेंका। अचानक उसे ‘Eeks’ की आवाज़ सुनाई दी। रोज़ी हैरान रह गई। उसने पूछा, “कौन है वहाँ ?” कोई उत्तर नहीं मिला। उसने एक और पत्थर फेंका। एक आवाज़ आई “Eeks ! पत्थर फेंकने बंद करो।” झील में कौन है यह देखने के लिए रोज़ी ने झील में देखा। उसने पानी में एक बहुत बड़ा (विशालकाय) जानवर देखा।

वह डायनासोर जैसा था। वह हरे रंग का था। उसके छोटे-छोटे सींग थे। वह अपना सिर झील के किनारे से रगड़ रहा था। जानवर ने कहा, “तुम झील में पत्थर क्यों फेंक रही हो ? चोट लग रही है।” रोज़ी ने डर कर जीव की ओर देखा। उसने कहा, “माफ़ करना”। जानवर ने कहा, “अच्छा, तो ठीक है।” जानवर ने रोजी को देखा और उसके चेहरे पर दुःख के भाव देखे। विशाल जीव ने कहा, “मैं नैसी (Nessy) हूँ।

लोग मुझे लॉच नैस् मास्टर (Loch Ness Monster) कहकर पुकारते हैं। तुम कौन हो ?” रोज़ी बोलने वाले इस जीव से थोड़ा डर गई। वह शांत रही। नैसी ने कहा, “डरो मत। मैं किसी को कोई हानि नहीं पहुँचाती। उसने कहा, “परन्तु तुम तो बहुत ही विशाल हो।” नैसी ने कहा, “मेरे आकार के बारे में मत सोचो। क्या मैंने कभी यहाँ किसी को नुकसान पहुंचाया है ?” रोज़ी ने कहा, “मुझे नहीं पता। मैं स्कॉटलैंड की नहीं हूँ।” नैसी ने कहा, “अच्छा मुझे अपना नाम बताओ।”

“I’m Rosy. ……………………………… felt relaxed.

मैं रोज़ी हूँ। मैं अपनी आंटी टीने के यहां आई हूँ। मुझे यह स्थान बहुत ही नीरस और ठंडा लगा है। मुझे यह स्थान पसन्द नहीं है।”  नैसी हंसने लगी। उसकी हंसी बहुत ऊँची थी। रोज़ी ने डर कर नैसी को देखा। वह केवल उसकी लम्बी गर्दन और सिर को ही देख सकती थी। उसकी गर्दन पर तिकोने आकार की सीकें थी।

उसके मुंह से पौधों के टुकड़े लटक रहे थे। रोज़ी को उसके नुकीले दाँत दिखाई पड़े और यदि वह चाहती तो उसे एक ही बार (एक टुकड़े) में खा जाती। परन्तु उसके मुँह के पौधे यह बताते थे कि वह शाकाहारी है। रोज़ी ने राहत महसूस की। .

Why do people …………………………….. to be exciting!

रोज़ी ने पूछा, “लोग तुम्हें दानव क्यों कहते हैं ? क्या तुम वास्तव में दानव हो ?” नैसी ने रोज़ी को आश्वस्त किया, “नहीं, मैं दानव नहीं हूँ! लोग मुझे दानव इसलिए कहते हैं क्योंकि वे मेरे बारे में नहीं जानते। मैं डायनासोर के परिवार से संबंध रखती हूँ। मैं केवल पौधे खाती हूँ न कि छोटी बच्चियाँ। क्या तुम मेरी पीठ पर सवारी करना चाहोगी।” रोजी ने नैसी की ओर देखा। उसने पूछा, “तुम कितनी बड़ी हो ?” नैसी ने फिर से कहा,”अच्छा, मेरी लम्बाई 100 फीट से अधिक है।

मेरी पीठ पर (हम्प) कूबड़ है। मैं बहुत पतली हूँ। मेरे पैर और बाजू भी हैं परन्तु मैं उनका उपयोग केवल झील में तैरने और सरकने के लिए करती हूँ। क्या झील में मेरी पीठ पर सवारी करना चाहोगी।” रोजी ने सिर हिलाया। नैसी ने कहा, “मेरी पीठ पर चढ़ जाओ और इसे पकड़ लो।” रोजी ने उसके मज़बूत सींगों को पकड़ा और उसे उसकी पीठ पर बैठने का स्थान मिल गया। उसने उसकी एक सींक को मज़बूती से पकड़ लिया।

नैसी ने उससे पूछा, “क्या तुम तैयार हो ?” रोजी एकाएक रोमांचित हो उठी। उसने कहा, “नैसी, हाँ मैं तैयार नैसी ने झील में चक्कर लगाना शुरू किया। शीघ्र ही वे झील में सभी जगह तैरने लगे। रोज़ी ने नैसी को मज़बूती से पकड़ लिया। नैसी पानी के अन्दर और बाहर आने-जाने लगी। नैसी जब पानी के अन्दर जाती तो ‘हूश’ (Whoosh!) तथा जब बाहर आती तो ‘ही…’ (Wheeee!) की आवाज़ निकालती।

रोज़ी भी इसका आनन्द ले रही थी। उसने कहा, “मज़ा आ गया।” नैसी ने पूछा, “क्या तुम मेरी गुफा देखना चाहोगी।” रोजी ने उत्तर दिया, “जरूर देखना चाहूँगी परन्तु फिर किसी दिन। मुझे देर हो रही है। मेरी आंटी मेरा इन्तज़ार कर रही होगी।” नैसी ने कहा, “ठीक है, तो फिर मिलेंगे! तुम यहां पर कब तक रहोगी ?” रोज़ी ने बताया, “एक सप्ताह और ।

परन्तु कल मैं एडिनबर्ग (Edinburgh) के दर्शनीय स्थल देखने जा रही हूँ।”. नैसी ने कहा, “बहुत बढ़िया। तो हम परसों दोबारा मिलेंगे।” रोजी ने कहा, “ठीक है, कृपया मुझे वापिस झील के किनारे छोड़ दो।” उसी क्षण वे किनारे पर पहुंच गए और उन्होंने एक-दूसरे को अलविदा कहा। अब रोज़ी के पास स्कॉटलैंड में एक मित्र था। रोज़ी के जीवन में एक रोमांच आने लगा था।

The Peacock and the Crow Summary in Hindi

Once there lived …………………. was a crow.

एक बार एक कौआ था जिसे अपने काले पंख अच्छे नहीं लगते थे। वह मोर जैसा बनना चाहता था क्योंकि उसे मोर के रंग-बिरंगे पंख बहुत ही सुंदर लगते थे। वह दूसरे कौओं से कहता, “तुम बहुत ही नीरस और साधारण दिखते हो। देखो मोर कितने सुंदर हैं। काश मैं मोर होता।” एक दिन कौआ अपने पेड़ की शाखा पर बैठा था तभी उसने बहुत से मोर पंख ज़मीन पर पड़े देखे। पंख बहुत ही सुंदर लग रहे थे।

मोर के पंखों को देखकर उसे एक विचार सूझा। उसने सारे पंखों को इकट्ठा किया और उसे अपने पंखों तथा पूंछ पर लगा लिया। उसने कुछ पंख अपने सिर पर भी लगा लिए ताकि वह मोर जैसा दिखाई दे। वह अपनी परछाई देखने के लिए नदी की ओर उड़ चला। उसने खुशी से कहा, “वाह! अब मैं मोर जैसा सुंदर दिखता हूँ।”उसने अपने आप से कहा, “अब मैं मोर जितना सुंदर हूँ।”

उसने सोचा कि अब उसे मोरों के साथ रहना चाहिए। इसलिए वह मोरों के झुंड में शामिल होने के लिए चला गया परन्तु मोर उस पर हंसने लगे। उन्होंने उसे अपनाया नहीं। मोर जानते थे कि वह उनके जैसा नहीं है। वह एक कौआ है।

Peacock feathers ………………. was finally happy.

उन्होंने उससे कहा, “मोर पंख तुम्हें मोर नहीं बना देंगे।” उदासी और अपमान (शर्मिंदगी) से भर कर उसने सोचा कि उसके कौए दोस्त उसके नए पंखों को देखकर खुश होंगे। वह अपने साथी कौओं के पास वापिस आ गया। उसके साथी कौओं में से किसी ने भी उसे अपना स्वीकार नहीं किया। वह नहीं चाहते थे कि वह वापिस आए क्योंकि वह पहले उनकी बेइज्जती कर चुका था। वे यह भी जानते थे कि मोरों ने उसकी बेइज्जती की हैं।

उन्होंने भी उस पर हंसना शुरु कर दिया। उन्होंने उसके पंखों को देखा और उसके सामने उसका मजाक उड़ाने लगे। तभी एक बुद्धिमान बूढ़ा कौआ आ गया और उसे कहां, “हम जैसे हैं हमें अपने आप को वैसा ही स्वीकार करना चाहिए। आँख मूंद कर दूसरों की नकल मत करो। मौरो के पंख केवल मोरों के लिए ही अच्छे हैं। कौओं के लिए मोर पंख भारी हैं।

उन्हें अपने शरीर पर लगा कर तुम ठीक ढंग से नहीं उड़ सकते। मुझे आशा है कि तुम्हें अपना सबक मिल चुका है।” कौए ने अपनी गलती स्वीकार कर ली। यद्यपि वह सोचता था कि वह सुन्दर दिख रहा है फिर भी उसके लिए उड़ पाना कठिन था। उसने अपने पंखों पर लगे सभी मोर पंख उखाड़ फेंके।

उसने अपने आपको साधारण (सादा) रूप में स्वीकर कर लिया। तब वह अपने मित्रों के पास गया और उनसे अपने द्वारा की गई बेइज्जती के लिए माफी मांगी। उन्होंने उसे अपना लिया और वे मित्र बन गए। अंततः कौआ खुश हो गया ।
