Child and Grandma Summary in Hindi

बच्चा और उसकी दादी माँ/नानी माँ इस व्यस्त संसार में अकेले महसूस करते हैं। परंतु उनकी यह भावना और सोच उनमें आपसी निकटता और प्रेम को गहरा कर देते हैं।

कविता में बच्चा कहता है कि वह इस विशाल संसार में तेजी से चलते बड़े-बड़े (व्यस्क) लोगों के बीच एक छोटा सा बच्चा है। आकाश में भी उसे मशीनें (हवाई जहाज़ आदि) दिखाई देती हैं। उसे लगता है कि वे बिना आंखों वाले पक्षी हैं।

इस विशाल परंतु विदेशी (अपनेपन से खाली) संसार में रहते हुए वे आहे भर-भर कर जीते हैं। यह अकेलापन उनमें प्रेम को बढ़ाता है। उसे अपनी दादी में अपनापन झलकता है और वह उसके झुरियों वाले चेहरे से लाड करने लगता है। वे एक-दूसरे को गले लगा कर खुश होते हैं। बच्चा चाहता है कि संसार हमेशा इसी तरह उसे अपनी दादी के पास ही रहने दे।

Frog Pala ……………………………….. near the pond.

ਡੱਡੂ ਪਾਲਾ ਅਤੇ ਉਸਦੀ ਪਤਨੀ ਬੀਰੋ ਇਕ ਤਾਲਾਬ ਦੇ ਇਕ ਪਿੰਡ ਵਿਚ ਰਹਿੰਦੇ ਸਨ । ਕੁਝ ਸਾਲ ਪਹਿਲਾਂ, ਤਾਲਾਬ ਦੇ ਚਾਰੇ ਪਾਸੇ ਬਹੁਤ ਸਾਰੇ ਦਰੱਖ਼ਤ ਲੱਗੇ ਹੋਏ ਸਨ । ਇਹ ਰਹਿਣ ਲਈ ਇਕ ਠੰਡੀ ਅਤੇ ਸ਼ਾਂਤ ਜਗ੍ਹਾ ਸੀ, ਪਰੰਤੂ ਹੁਣ ਤਲਾਬ ਦੇ ਚਾਰੇ-ਪਾਸੇ ਜ਼ਿਆਦਾ ਭੀੜ-ਭਾੜ ਦੇ ਨਾਲ ਉੱਚੀਆਂ-ਉੱਚੀਆਂ ਇਮਾਰਤਾਂ ਵੀ ਬਣ ਗਈਆਂ ਸਨ । ਹੁਣ ਉਹ ਜਗ੍ਹਾ ਸ਼ੀਤਲ ਅਤੇ ਸ਼ਾਂਤ ਨਹੀਂ ਰਹੀ ਸੀ ।

ਪਾਲਾ ਤਾਲਾਬ ਦੇ ਚਾਰੇ ਪਾਸੇ ਤੇਜ਼ ਰਫ਼ਤਾਰ ਜ਼ਿੰਦਗੀ ਤੋਂ ਖੁਸ਼ ਸੀ, ਪਰੰਤੂ ਬੀਰੋ ਤਾਲਾਬ ਦੇ ਨਾਲ ਫੈਲੀ ਗੰਦਗੀ ਤੋਂ ਤੰਗ ਆ ਗਈ ਸੀ ।

Pala said …………………………………………………………… going to face.”

ਪਾਲਾ ਨੇ ਕਿਹਾ, “ਪਿਆਰੇ, ਇਮਾਰਤਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਦੇਖੋ ਕਿੰਨੀਆਂ ਉੱਚੀਆਂ ਹਨ | ਸਾਡਾ ਪਿੰਡ ਤਰੱਕੀ ਵੱਲ ਜਾ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ ।’’ ਬੀਰੋ ਬੜ-ਬੜਾਈ, “ਤਰੱਕੀ ! ਕਿਉਂ, ਤੈਨੂੰ ਨਹੀਂ ਲੱਗਦਾ ਕਿ ਸਾਡੀ ਸਿਹਤ ਦਾਅ ‘ਤੇ ਲੱਗੀ ਹੈ ?” ਪਾਲਾ ਨੇ ਕਿਹਾ, “ਤੂੰ ਕੀ ਕਹਿ ਰਹੀ ਹੈ ?” ਬੀਰੋ ਨੇ ਕਿਹਾ, “ਤੈਨੂੰ ਆਪਣੇ ਚਾਰੇ ਪਾਸੇ ਦੇਖਣਾ ਚਾਹੀਦਾ ਹੈ। ਲੋਕਾਂ ਦੇ ਕੋਲ ਪੂਰੀਆਂ ਸੁਵਿਧਾਵਾਂ ਨਾਲ ਯੁਕਤ ਸੁੰਦਰ ਮਕਾਨ ਹਨ, ਪਰੰਤੂ ਉਹ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦਾ ਸਹੀ ਉਪਯੋਗ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਰ ਰਹੇ ।”

ਪਾਲਾ ਨੇ ਕਿਹਾ, “ਤੂੰ ਕਹਿਣਾ ਕੀ ਚਾਹੁੰਦੀ ਹੈ ?” ਬੀਰੋ ਨੇ ਉੱਤਰ ਦਿੱਤਾ, “ਉਹ ਪਾਖਾਨੇ ਦੀ ਵਰਤੋਂ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਰ ਰਹੇ ।” ਪਾਲਾ ਨੇ ਹੈਰਾਨੀ ਨਾਲ ਕਿਹਾ, “ਕੀ !” ਬੀਰੋ ਅੱਗੋਂ ਕਹਿੰਦੀ ਹੈ, “ਉਹ ਘਰ ਦੇ ਨੇੜੇ ਖੁਲ੍ਹੀ ਜਗ੍ਹਾ ਵਿੱਚ ਮਲ-ਤਿਆਗ ਕਰਦੇ ਹਨ । ਦੁਰਗੰਧ ਆਉਂਦੀ ਹੈ । ਮੈਂ ਇਸ ਦੁਰਗੰਧ ਤੋਂ ਤੰਗ ਆ ਚੁੱਕੀ ਹਾਂ । ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਆਉਣ ਵਾਲੇ ਖ਼ਤਰੇ ਤੋਂ ਵੀ ਡਰ ਨਹੀਂ ਲੱਗਦਾ ।”

Pala said …………………………………… deadly problem.

ਪਾਲਾ ਨੇ ਕਿਹਾ, “ਬੀਰੋ, ਕਿਸ ਤਰ੍ਹਾਂ ਦਾ ਖ਼ਤਰਾ ?” ਬੀਰੋ ਬੋਲੀ, “ਬਿਮਾਰੀਆਂ ! ਅਸੀਂ ਪਿੰਡ ਦੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੋ ਬੱਚਿਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਕਿਵੇਂ ਭੁੱਲ ਸਕਦੇ ਹਾਂ ਜਿਹੜੇ ਦਸਤ ਅਤੇ ਸੰਕ੍ਰਮਣ ਦੇ ਨਾਲ ਮਰ ਗਏ ਸਨ | ਘੱਟੋ ਘੱਟ ! ਮੈਂ ਤਾਂ ਨਹੀਂ ! ਮੈਂ ਹੈਰਾਨ ਹਾਂ ਕਿ ਆਦਮੀ ਚੰਗੀ ਸਿਹਤ ਦੇ ਤੌਰ ਤਰੀਕੇ ਲਈ ਕਿਵੇਂ ਇੰਨਾ ਅਗਿਆਨੀ ਹੋ ਸਕਦਾ ਹੈ ?” ਉਹ ਬੋਲੀ ਜਾਂਦੀ ਹੈ, ਮੈਂ ਪੱਕਾ ਕਰ ਲਿਆ ਹੈ, ਕਿ ਮੈਂ ਇਸ ਨੂੰ ਹੁਣੇ ਅਤੇ ਜ਼ਰੂਰ ਸਹਿਣ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਰਾਂਗਾ ।

ਪਾਲਾ ਨੇ ਪੁੱਛਿਆ, “ਤੂੰ ਕੀ ਕਰੇਗੀ ?”

ਬੀਰੋ ਨੇ ਘੋਸ਼ਣਾ ਕੀਤੀ, “ਮੈਂ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਜਾਗਰੂਕਤਾ ਫੈਲਾਵਾਂਗੀ ਕਿ ਪਾਖਾਨੇ ਦੀ ਵਰਤੋਂ ਕਰੋ । ਮੈਂ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਦੱਸਾਂਗੀ ਕਿ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਘਰਾਂ ਅਤੇ ਉਸਦੇ ਆਲੇ-ਦੁਆਲੇ ਦੀ ਸਾਫ਼-ਸਫ਼ਾਈ ਰੱਖਣ ਦੇ ਕੀ ਲਾਭ ਹਨ । ਕੀ ਤੂੰ ਮੇਰੀ ਸਹਾਇਤਾ ਕਰੇਗਾ ?” ਪਾਲਾ ਬੋਲਿਆ, “ਬਿਨਾ-ਸ਼ੱਕ ! ਕਾਰਜ ਕਰਨ ਵਿਚ ਨਾ ਤਾਂ ਦੂਸਰੀ ਸੋਚ ਹੁੰਦੀ ਹੈ ਅਤੇ ਨਾ ਹੀ ਕਿਸੇ ਦੀ ਆਗਿਆ ਦੀ ਜ਼ਰੂਰਤ ਹੁੰਦੀ ਹੈ ।

ਦੋਵੇਂ ਬਹੁਤ ਹੀ ਖੁਸ਼ ਸਨ ਕਿਉਂਕਿ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਇਕ ਜਾਨਲੇਵਾ ਸਮੱਸਿਆ ਦਾ ਹੱਲ ਮਿਲ ਗਿਆ ਸੀ ।

Two Frogs Summary in Hindi

Frog Pala ……………….. near the pond.

मेंढ़क पाला और उसकी पत्नी बीरो एक तालाब के पास एक गांव में रहते थे। कुछ वर्ष पहले, तालाब के चारों ओर बहुत से पेड़ थे। यह रहने के लिए एक शीतल तथा शांत जगह थी। परंतु अब तालाब के चारों ओर बहुत अधिक भीड़-भाड़ के साथ ऊंची-ऊंची इमारतें बन गईं थीं। अब वह जगह शीतल तथा शांत नहीं रही थी।

पाला तालाब के चारों ओर तेज़ रफतार जिंदगी से खुश था परंतु बीरो तालाब के पास फैली गंदगी से तंग आ गई थी।

Pala said ……………………..going to face.”

पाला ने कहा, “प्रिय, इमारतों को देखो, कितनी ऊंची हैं! हमारा गांव तरक्की की ओर जा रहा है।” बीरो बड़बड़ाई, “तरक्की! क्यों, तुम्हें नहीं लगता कि हमारा स्वास्थ्य दाव पर लगा है ?” पाला ने कहा, “तुम क्या कह रही हो ?” बीरो ने कहा, “तुम्हें अपने चारों ओर देखना चाहिए। लोगों के पास पूरी सुविधाओं से युक्त सुंदर मकान हैं परंतु वे उनका सही उपयोग नहीं कर रहे।”

पाला ने कहा, “तुम कहना क्या चाहती हो ?” बीरो ने उत्तर दिया, “वे शौचालय का उपयोग नहीं कर रहे।” पाला ने हैरान होकर कहा, “क्या!” बीरो आगे बोली, “वे घर के समीप खुले में मलत्याग करते हैं। यहां दुर्गंध आती है। मैं इस दुर्गंध से ऊब (तंग आ) चुकी हूँ। उन्हें आने वाले खतरे से भी डर नहीं लगता।”

Pala said ………………………… deadly problem.

पाला ने कहा, “बीरो, किस प्रकार का खतरा ?” बीरो बोली, “बीमारियां! हम गांव के उन दो बच्चों को कैसे भूल सकते हैं जो दस्त और संक्रमण से मरे थे। कम से कम, मैं तो नहीं! मैं हैरान हूँ कि आदमी अच्छे स्वास्थ्य के तौर-तरीकों के प्रति कैसे इतना अनजान हो सकता है ?” वह बोलती गई, “मैंने निश्चय कर लिया है कि मैं इसे अब और अधिक सहन नहीं करूँगी।” पाला ने पूछा, “तुम क्या करोगी ?”

बीरो ने घोषणा की, “मैं लोगों में जागरूकता फैलाऊंगी कि शौचालय का उपयोग करो। मैं उन्हें बताऊंगी कि घर एवं उसके आसपास साफ़-सफ़ाई रखने के क्या लाभ हैं? क्या तुम मेरी सहायता करोगे ?” पाला बोला, “नि:संदेह ! अच्छे कार्य करने में न तो दूसरी सोच होती है और न ही किसी की अनुमति की आवश्यकता होती है।” दोनों बहुत ही खुश थे क्योंकि उन्हें एक जानलेवा समस्या का हल मिल गया था।

The Elves and the Shoemaker Summary in Hindi

Once there ………………… help him.

एक बार एक चर्मकार था। वह इतना गरीब हो गया कि उसके पास अपने परिवार को चलाने के लिए एक जोड़ी जूते बनाने के चमड़े के अतिरिक्त कुछ नहीं बचा। इसलिए उसने शाम को जूते बनाने के लिए बड़े ध्यान से चमड़ा काटा। वह बहुत दु:खी था। उसने सोने से पहले भगवान से प्रार्थना की और कहा कि वह उसकी मदद करें।

In the morning…………… became rich.

सुबह उसे मेज़ पर जूतों की एक शानदार जोड़ी मिली। वह हैरान रह गया। उसने जूतों को हाथ में लिया और ध्यान से देखा। वे इतनी सफाई से बने थे कि उन पर एक भी भद्दी सिलाई नहीं थी। जूतों की जोड़ी वास्तव में एक श्रेष्ठ कृति (अद्भुत नमूना) थी।

इसके बाद उसकी दुकान पर एक ग्राहक आया। उसे जूते पसंद आ गए और उसने उनकी सामान्य से भी अधिक कीमत दे दी। अब चर्मकार बहुत खुश था, क्योंकि उसके पास इतना धन हो गया था कि वह दो जोड़ी जूतों के लिए चमड़ा खरीद सकता था।

रात को उसने चमड़ा काटा और सुबह उसे सुन्दर जूते तैयार मिले। ऐसा बहुत रातों तक चलता रहा। शाम को जितना भी चमड़ा वह काटता था, सुबह तक खूबसूरती से (जूतों के रूप में) तैयार मिलता था। शीघ्र ही चर्मकार अमीर बन गया।

One evening ……………. said the shoemaker.

एक शाम आदमी ने अपनी पत्नी से कहा, “आओ रात को देखते हैं कि कौन हमारी मदद कर रहा है।” औरत को विचार पसंद आया। उसने एक मोमबत्ती जला दी। मोमबत्ती की ज्योति से कमरे में रोशनी हो गई। तब वे कमरे के एक कोने में परदे के पीछे छिप गए।

आधी रात को दो जादुई बौने नाचते हुए कमरे में आए। उन्होंने पुराने और फटे हुए कपड़े पहने हुए थे। वे चर्मकार की मेज़ पर बैठ गए। उन्हें कुशलपूर्वक टांके लगाते, सीते और हथौड़ा चलाते देखकर चर्मकार हैरान रह गया। जादुई बौनों ने काम समाप्त किया और भाग गए।

औरत ने कहा, “उन बौनों ने हमें अमीर बनाया है। हमें उनकी निःस्वार्थ सेवा के लिए उनका धन्यवाद करना चाहिए। मैं उनके लिए छोटी-छोटी कमीजें, कोट, वास्कट, पैंट और जुराबों की जोड़ी बनाऊंगी।” चर्मकार ने कहा, “ठीक है, मैं उनके लिए दो जोड़ी छोटे जूते बनाऊँगा।”

When everything ………….. forever.

जब सब कुछ तैयार हो गया तो उन्होंने अपने उपहार मेज़ पर रख दिए और छिप गए। आधी रात को बौने आए। वे उपहार देखकर बहुत खुश हुए। दोनों बौने नए कपड़े पहन कर तैयार हो गए। तब खुशी से वे नाचने और गाने लगे। (बौने गीत में अपनी खुशी व्यक्त करते हैं और पति-पत्नी का धन्यवाद करते हैं।)

वे नाचते हुए दरवाज़े से बाहर निकल गए और फिर कभी नहीं आए। चर्मकार सदा के लिए खुशीखुशी रहने लगा।

नोट : जब कोई क्रिया भूतकाल में किसी समय पर शुरू हुई हो, और बोलने के समय तक जारी रही हो, तो उसके लिए Present Perfect Tense (has / have + V₃) का प्रयोग किया जाता है।
जब कोई क्रिया भूतकाल में घटित हो किन्तु उसके प्रभाव अथवा परिणाम को वर्तमान में महसूस किया जा रहा हो, तो उसके लिए भी Present Perfect Tense का प्रयोग किया जाता है।

(b) बीते अनुभव की ओर संकेत करने के लिए:

• My father has worked in this school.
• I have seen the Taj Mahal in moonlight.
• I have studied in this school.

(c) भूतकाल में घटी हुई कोई ऐसी घटना जिसके वर्तमान महत्त्व पर वक्ता बल देना चाहता हो; जैसे:
1. He has come to my house many a time.
(और इसलिए उसका फिर यहां आना कोई आश्चर्य की बात नहीं है।)

2. This disease has killed many children..
(और इसलिए इस सम्बन्ध में कुछ किया जाना चाहिए।)

3. He has travelled round the world.

(और इसलिए वह अब यहां नहीं है।)

यह बात ध्यान रखने योग्य है कि भूतकाल में घटित किसी घटना के लिए Present Perfect Tense का प्रयोग कभी नहीं किया जाता है जब इसके घटित होने के समय का उल्लेख वाक्य में करना हो। ऐसी स्थिति में Simple Past Tense (अर्थात् V₂) का ही प्रयोग किया जाता है।

उदाहरण के रूप में हमें यह नहीं कहना चाहिए कि:-

• He has come here yesterday.
• He has passed this examination in 1992.

हमें यह कहना चाहिए कि-

• He came here yesterday.
• He passed this examination in 1992.

5. Past Continuous Tense (was / were + V₁ -ing)

1. He was writing a letter when I saw him.
2. I was reading a novel yesterday afternoon.

Past Continuous Tense तथा Past Indefinite Tense के अन्तर को अच्छी प्रकार से समझ लेना चाहिए। निम्नलिखित नियम याद रखिए:
Past Indefinite Tense – for completed activity
Past Continuous Tense → for continuity in past

Past Continuous Tense का प्रयोग उस स्थिति में किया जाता है जब हमारी मुख्य रुचि क्रिया के समय (time of action) में न हो, अपितु क्रिया के जारी रहने (continuity of action) में हो। क्रिया के पूरा होने में हमारी रुचि कम होती है और क्रिया के जारी रहने की स्थिति पर अधिक बल होता है। यदि हमारी रुचि क्रिया के पूरा होने (completed activity) में हो, तो Past Indefinite Tense का प्रयोग किया जाता है।

Completed activity Past Indefinite Tense (V2)	Continuing activity Past Continuous Tense (was / were + V1-ing)
1. He came into the room 2. I saw her 3. I dropped my watch	while I was writing. as I was passing yesterday. while I was winding it.

Exercise

Fill in the blanks with the correct Tense form (Past Simple or Past Progressive) of the verbs given in brackets:

2. went
3. lay/was lying
4. was going
5. was moving
6. was standing
7. began
8. was crying.

6. Past Perfect Tense (had + V₃)

Past Perfect Tense का प्रयोग निम्नलिखित स्थितियों में किया जाता है:
(a) ऐसी क्रिया के लिए जो भूतकाल में किसी निश्चित समय (moment) से पहले, या किसी निश्चित समय तक पूरी हो चुकी हो।
1. The patient had died before the doctor came.
2. I had finished my work by evening.

(b) किसी असन्तुष्ट इच्छा को प्रकट करने के लिए।
1. I wish my father had been here at this time.
2. I wish I had worked harder.

(c) Present Perfect अथवा Simple Past वाले किसी वाक्य को Direct कथन से Indirect कथन में बदलने के लिए भी इस Tense का प्रयोग किया जाता है।
1. He said, “The train arrived late.” (Simple Past)
He said that the train had arrived late. (Past Perfect)

2. He said, “I have left my parents.” (Present perfect)
He said that he had left his parents. (Past Perfect)

यदि किसी वाक्य में भूतकाल में घटित दो घटनाओं का वर्णन हो, तो उनमें से जो घटना पहले घटी हो उसके लिए Past Perfect Tense का प्रयोग किया जाता है, और जो घटना अपेक्षाकृत रूप से बाद में घटी हो तो उसके लिए Past Indefinite Tense का प्रयोग किया जाता है।

Past Perfect Tense का प्रयोग तभी किया जाना चाहिए यदि भूतकाल में होने वाली कोई क्रिया किसी अन्य क्रिया की अपेक्षा पहले पूरी होने का भाव रखती हो।। (Past Perfect Tense is never used except to show the priority of one past event to another.)

Earlier action Past Perfect (had + V3)	Later action Past Indefinite (V2)
