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।
