The Foolish Bear (मूर्ख भालू)

PSEB 5th Class English Solutions Chapter 5 Raja Birbal 4
One day, a bear felt hungry. So, he came out of his den to look for food. He went to the river to catch some fish. He stood by the river and saw enough fish to eat. He caught a small fish, but then he thought, “This is too small to fill my stomach. I must catch a bigger fish.” So, he let the small fish go and waited for some time.

Then again a small fish came and he let it go thinking that the small fish would not fill his belly. This way he caught many small fish, but let all of them go off. By sunset, the bear could not catch any big fish. He slowly began to feel tired. So he remained empty stomach and thought, “All those small fish, together would have filled up my belly, but now it is too late.” He remained hungry that day.

ਬੀਰਬਲ ਮੁਸਕਰਾਇਆ । ਉਸਨੇ ਲੱਕੜੀ ਦੇ ਕੋਲੇ ਦਾ ਟੁੱਕੜਾ ਚੁੱਕਿਆ ਅਤੇ ਅਕਬਰ ਦੁਆਰਾ ਲਗਾਈ ਗਈ ਲਾਈਨ ਦੇ ਅੱਗੇ ਇਕ ਹੋਰ ਲਾਈਨ ਲਗਾ ਦਿੱਤੀ । ਇਹ ਪਹਿਲੀ ਲਾਈਨ ਤੋਂ ਲੰਬੀ ਸੀ । ਇਸ ਤਰ੍ਹਾਂ ਅਕਬਰ ਦੀ ਲਾਈਨ ਛੋਟੀ ਹੋ ਗਈ ।

ਸਮਰਾਟ ਅਕਬਰ ਨੇ ਪ੍ਰਭਾਵਿਤ ਹੋ ਕੇ ਕਿਹਾ, “ਤੂੰ ਦਰਬਾਰ ਵਿਚ ਸਭ ਤੋਂ ਚਾਲਾਕ ਬੁੱਧੀਮਾਨ) ਹੈਂ।”

महेश दास का जन्म 1528 में हुआ। बाद में, वह मुग़ल सम्राट अकबर के दरबार में सलाहकार बन गया। सम्राट ने उसे राजा बीरबल का नाम दिया। वह अकबर के नौ रत्नों (नवरत्नों) में से एक था। वह अपनी बुद्धिमत्ता (हाज़िर-जवाबी) के लिए जाना जाता था।

एक दिन सम्राट ने अपने दरबारियों को बुलाया और कहा, “मेरे पास तुम्हारे (सुलझाने के) लिए एक समस्या है। जो भी उसे हल करेगा उसे सोने से भरे पाँच बैग मिलेंगे।”

तब अकबर अपने सिंहासन से नीचे उतर आया। उसने संगमरमर के फर्श पर कोयले के एक ट्रकडे से मोटी काली लाइन खींच दी। अकबर पीछे हट गया और उसने अपने दरबारियों से काली लाइन को देखने के लिए कहा। प्रत्येक ने उस लाइन को ध्यानपूर्वक देखा। सम्राट ने कहा, “तुम्हें इस लाइन को छोटा करना है परन्तु तुम इसे छू नहीं सकते। इसमें कुछ जोड़ना भी नहीं अथवा इसके किसी भाग को मिटाना भी नहीं।”
