LESSON – 13
HE IS MY BROTHER
Once upon a time there was a
small hill. A path went up the hill.
It went through thick and lovely
woods of pine and fir trees. People
often walked on it to a holy place.
One day when the sun shone
high in the sky, many people were
seen climbing up the hill. They were
climbing slowly and carefully.
A girl also climbed the hill with
them. Her name was Meena. Meena was twelve years old. She
carried a small boy on her back.He was four years old. His hair was
curly. His eyes were black and his face was as fresh as the morning
dew.
As the sunshine danced through the trees, Meena climbed the
hill slowly and steadily. Meena was happy. The boy was also happy.
A man in the group looked at Meena. He felt sorry for her. He
asked her, “My child, why are
you carrying the boy on your
back? Don‖t you feel his load?”
Meena looked at him in
wonder. She could not
understand him. (Her brother
was unable to walk). Meena
asked, “Load? Of course not!
He is my brother!”
अनुवाद
एक बार एक छोटी पहाड़ी थी । एक रास्ता पहाड़ी के ऊपर गया। यह देवदार और चीड़ के मोटे और सुंदर जंगल से होकर गुज़रता था। अक्सर लोग वहाँ पवित्र स्थान पर जाते थे। एक दिन जब सूरज आसमान में ऊंचा चमक रहा था, तो कई लोग पहाड़ी पर चढ़ते देखे गए। वे धीरे-धीरे और सावधानी से चढ़ रहे थे। एक लड़की भी उनके साथ पहाड़ी पर चढ़ी। उसका नाम मीना था। मीना बारह साल की थी। उसने एक छोटे लड़के को अपनी पीठ पर बिठाया था। वह चार साल का था। उसके बाल घुंघराले थे। उसकी आँखें काली थीं और उसका चेहरा सुबह की ओस की तरह ताजा था। जैसे ही धूप ,पेड़ों के बीच नाची , मीना पहाड़ी पर धीरे-धीरे और तेजी से चढ़ती गई। मीना खुश थी। लड़का भी खुश था। समूह के एक व्यक्ति ने मीना को देखा। उसे उस पर तरस आ गया। उसने उससे पूछा, "मेरे बच्चे, तुम लड़के को अपनी पीठ पर क्यों ले जा रही हो? क्या तुम्हें उसका भार महसूस नहीं होता है?" मीना ने आश्चर्य से उसकी ओर देखा। वह उसे नहीं समझ सकी। (उसका भाई चलने में असमर्थ था)। मीना ने पूछा "भार? निश्चित रूप से नहीं यह/वह मेरा भाई है!"
