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 ।

Solution:
Steps of Construction.
1. Draw a line l and mark a point A on it.

2. Place the compasses pointer on the zero mark of the ruler. Open it to place the pencil point upto the 8.4 cm mark.
3. Now without changing the opening of compasses, place the pointer on A and draw an arc to cut the line l at point B.
4. Thus AB = 8.4 cm.
5. Now open the compasses equal to AC = 5.3 cm.
6. Place the metal point of compasses on A. Then point with pencil point draw an arc, interecting the line l at C.
7. Now AC = 5.3 cm.
8. By measurement BC = 3.1 cm.

4. Draw two line segments AB and CD of lengths 8.4 cm and 4.5 cm respectively. Construct the line segments of the following lengths:

Question (i)
AB + CD
Solution:
AB + CD = 8.4 cm + 4.5 = 12.9 cm. We can construct a line segment AD of length 12.9 cm. Using a ruler and compasses.

Steps of Construction:

1. Draw line segment AB = 8.4 cm and segment CD = 4.5 cm line.

2. Draw a line l longer than combined length of AB and CD i. e. 12.9 cm. Mark a point A on it.

3. Take the compasses and measure AB. Without changing the opening of the compasses place its needle at A and draw an arc intersecting line l at B.

4. Again adjust the 8.4 cm compass and measure the line segment CD.
5. Without changing the opening of the compasses place the pointer at B on the line l and draw an arc cutting the line l at P.

6. Then AP is the required line segment whose length is equal to the sum of lengths of line segments AB and CD.
7. On measurement AP = 12.9 cm.

Verification:
AP= AB + BP
= AB + CD
= 8.4 cm + 4.5 cm
= 12.9 cm.

Question (ii)
AB – CD
Solution:
Steps of Construction:

1. Draw a line l and mark point A on it.
2. Take the compasses and measures AB. Without changing the opening of the compasses place its needle at A and draw an arc intersecting l at B.

3. Again adjust the compasses and measure the line segment CD.
4. Without changing the opening of the compasses place the pointer at B and draw an arc intersecting AB at Q.
5. AQ is the required line segment whose length is equal to difference of lengths of line segments AB and CD.

6. On measurement AQ = 3.9 cm.

Verification:
AQ = AB – OB
= AB – CD
= 8.4 cm – 4.5 cm
= 3.9 cm.

Question (iii)
2 CD.
Solution:
Steps of Construction.

1. Draw a line l and mark point P on it.

2. Open out the compasses and adjust measure CD without changing the opening of the compasses place the needle at point P and draw an arc intersecting line l at point X such that PX = CD.

3. Now again without changing the opening of compasses place the needle at point X and draw an arc cutting the line l at Q. Such that XQ = CD.

Thus, PQ is the required line segment which is equal to 2 CD.
4. Measure PQ, PQ = 9 cm.
Verification.
Now, PQ = PX + XQ
= CD + CD = 2CD
= 2 × 4.5 cm = 9 cm
Hence, PQ = 2 CD.

5. Draw two line segments PQ and RS of lengths 6.4 cm and 3.6 cm respectively. Construct the line segments of the following lengths:

Question (i)
PQ + RS
Solution:
Steps of Construction.

1. Draw line segment PQ = 6.4 cm and line segment RS = 3.6 cm.

2. Draw a line l longer than combined length of PQ and RS i. e. 10 cm. Take a point P on it.

3. Take the compasses and measure PQ. Without changing the opening of the compasses place its needle at P and draw an arc cutting line l at Q.

4. Again adjust the compasses and measure the line segment RS.
5. Without changing the opening of the compasses place the pointer at Q on the line l and draw an arc cutting the line l at R.

Thus PT is the required line segment whose length is equal to the sum of line segments PQ and RS.
7. Measure PT = 10 cm.

Verification:

PT = PQ + QT
= PQ + RS
= 6.4 cm + 3.6 cm
= 10 cm

Question (ii)
PQ – RS
Solution:
Steps of Construction:

1. Draw a line l and mark a point P on it.

2. Take the compasses and measure PQ. Without changing the opening of the compasses place its needle at P and draw an arc intersecting l at Q.

3. Again adjust the compasses and measure the line segment RS.
4. Without changing the opening of the compasses place the pointer at Q and draw an arc intersecting PQ at T.

5. PT is the required line segment whose length is equal to difference of lengths of line segments PQ and RS.
6. Measure PT, PT = 2.8 cm
Verification:
PT = PQ – QT
= PQ – RS
= 6.4 cm – 3.6 cm
= 2.8 cm.

Question (iii)
2 PQ
Solution:
Steps of Construction:

1. Draw a line l and mark a point A on it.

2. Take the compasses and measure PQ. Without changing the opening of the compasses place its needle at point A and draw an arc intersecting line l at point B such that AB = PQ.

3. Now again without changing the compasses, place the needle at point B and draw an arc cutting the line l at C such that BC = PQ.

4. Then AC is the required line segment whose length is equal to 2 PQ.
5. Measure AC, AC = 12.8 cm

Verification:
AC = AB + BC
= PQ + PQ
= 2PQ = 2 × 6.4 cm
= 12.8 cm.

Question (iv)
2 RS
Solution:
Steps of Construction

1. Draw a line l and mark a point A on it.

2. Take the compasses and measure RS. Without changing the compasses, place the needle at point A and draw an arc intersecting the line l at point B such that AB = RS.

3. Again without changing the opening of compasses, place the needle at point B and draw an arc cutting line l at C such that BC = RS.
4. Then AC is the required line segment whose length is equal to 2RS.

5. Measure AC, AC = 7.2 cm

Verification:
AC = AB + BC
= RS + RS
= 2 RS = 2 × 3.6 cm
= 7.2 cm.

Question (v)
3 RS.
Solution:
Steps of Construction.

1. Draw a line l and mark point A on it.

2. Take the compasses and measure RS. Without changing the compasses, place the needle at point A and draw an arc cutting the line l at point B such that AB = RS.

3. Again, without changing the opening of the compasses, place the needle at point B and draw an arc cutting line l at C such that BC = RS.

4. Once again, without changing the opening of the compasses, place the needle at point C and draw an arc cutting line l at D such that CD = RS. Then AD is the required line segment whose length is equal to 3 RS.

5. Measure AD, AD = 10.8 cm
Verification:
AD = AB + BC + CD
= RS + RS + RS
= 3RS = 3 × 3.6 cm
= 10.8 cm

6. Draw a line segment PQ of any length. Now without measuring it draw a copy of PQ.
Solution:
Steps of Construction.

1. Draw given line segment PQ

2. Draw a line l and mark a point A on it.

3. Take the compass and measure PQ. Without disturbing the compasses, place the needle of the compasses at point A on l and draw an arc, which intersect the line l at point B.

4. Then AB is the required line segment which is equal to the length of PQ. Thus AB = PQ

प्रश्न 1.
विराम चिल से क्या अभिप्राय है ? हिन्दी में प्रचलित चिह्न को स्पष्ट करें।
उत्तर:
बातचीत करते समय हम अपने भावों को स्पष्ट करने के लिए कहीं-कहीं ठहरते हैं। लिखने में भी ठहराव प्रकट करते हैं। ठहराव को प्रकट करने के लिए जो चिह्न लगाए जाते हैं, वे विराम चिह्न कहलाते हैं।

मुख्य विराम चिह्न

1. पूर्ण विराम (।) :
(क) हर वाक्य के अन्त में लगाया जाता है। जैसे-गोपाल आठवीं कक्षा में पढ़ता है।
(ख) कविता में वाक्य की पूर्णता-अपूर्णता नहीं देखी जाती। इसका प्रयोग पद या पंक्ति के अन्त में किया जाता है।

2. अल्प-विराम-(,) : बोलने वाला जहाँ बहुत थोड़ी देर के लिए रुकता है, वहाँ अल्प-विराम लगता है; जैसे-मैं, कमला और गीता कल मन्दिर जाएंगी।

3. प्रश्न-सूचक चिह्न-(?) : प्रश्न-सूचक वाक्य के अन्त में प्रश्न-सूचक चिह्न लगाया जाता है; जैसे-इस समय भारत के प्रधानमन्त्री कौन हैं ?

4. उद्धरण चिह्न-(“”) : किसी के कथन को उसी रूप में दिखाने के लिए उद्धरण चिह्न लगाया जाता है; जैसे-महात्मा गांधी जी ने कहा था, “सच्चाई की अन्त में विजय होती है।”

5. विस्मयादि बोधक चिहन-(!) : विस्मयादि बोधक चिह्न अव्ययों के बाद लगते हैं; जैसे- अहो! हाय! आदि।

6. निर्देशक-(-) : इसका प्रयोग कथोपकथन (बातचीत) में बोलने वाले के नाम के आगे आता है। माता-पुत्र! इधर आओ, मेरी बात सुनो। आचार्य-बालको! भारत को कब आज़ादी मिली थी ?

7. योजक-(-) : दो शब्दों को जोड़ने के लिए योजक चिहन का प्रयोग होता है; जैसे-माता-पिता की सेवा करो।

8. कोष्ठक चिह्न-() :
(क) किसी शब्द के अर्थ को स्पष्ट करने के लिए कोष्ठक चिहन का प्रयोग होता है; जैसे- क्या तुम मेरे कहने का तात्पर्य (मतलब) समझ गए ?
(ख) विभाग सूचक अंक या अक्षरों के लिए भी इसी चिह्न का प्रयोग होता है; जैसेसंज्ञा के तीन भेद हैं-(1) व्यक्तिवाचक (2) जातिवाचक और (3) भाववाचक।

9. लाघव चिह्न-(०) : जहाँ शब्द को पूरा न लिखकर उसका संक्षिप्त रूप लिन दिया जाए वहाँ लाघव चिह्न का प्रयोग होता है; जैसे-लाला लाजपत राय-ला० लाजपत राय लिखा जाता है। पंडित जवाहर लाल नेहरू-पं० जवाहर लाल नेहरू लिखा जाता है।
