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।

ਇਸ ਦੇ ਬਾਅਦ ਉਸਦੀ ਦੁਕਾਨ ‘ਤੇ ਇਕ ਗਾਹਕ ਆਇਆ | ਉਸਨੂੰ ਜੁੱਤੇ ਪਸੰਦ ਆ ਗਏ ਅਤੇ ਉਸ ਦੀ ਸਾਧਾਰਨ ਕੀਮਤ ਤੋਂ ਜ਼ਿਆਦਾ ਕੀਮਤ ਦਿੱਤੀ । ਹੁਣ ਚਰਮਕਾਰ ਬਹੁਤ ਖੁਸ਼ ਸੀ, ਕਿਉਂਕਿ ਉਸਦੇ ਕੋਲ ਇੰਨਾ ਧਨ ਹੋ ਗਿਆ ਕਿ ਉਹ ਦੋ ਜੋੜੀ ਜੁੱਤੇ ਦੇ ਲਈ ਚਮੜਾ ਖ਼ਰੀਦ ਸਕਦਾ ਸੀ ।

ਬੌਣੇ ਗੀਤ ਵਿਚ ਆਪਣੀ ਖ਼ੁਸ਼ੀ ਪ੍ਰਗਟ ਕਰਦੇ ਹਨ ਅਤੇ ਪਤੀ-ਪਤਨੀ ਦਾ ਧੰਨਵਾਦ ਕਰਦੇ ਹਨ ।

ਉਹ ਨੱਚਦੇ ਹੋਏ ਦਰਵਾਜ਼ੇ ਤੋਂ ਬਾਹਰ ਨਿਕਲ ਗਏ ਅਤੇ ਫਿਰ ਕਦੇ ਨਹੀਂ ਆਏ । ਚਰਮਕਾਰ ਸਦਾ ਦੇ ਲਈ ਖ਼ੁਸ਼ੀ-ਖੁਸ਼ੀ ਰਹਿਣ ਲੱਗਾ | ‘

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।
