वह भेड़िए के पास आई और उससे लड़ाई के लिए तैयार हो गई। चाँदनी अपनी टाँगों पर खड़ी होकर बहादुर सिपाही की तरह व्यवहार करने लगी। यद्यपि चाँदनी हार गई और मर गई फिर भी वह विजेता बनी रही है।

यह एक कहानी है जिसमें यह बताया गया है कि हाथी की सैंड कैसे बनी। एक बार हाथी का एक बच्चा गोलू, जिसकी सूजी नाक थी। वह शुतुरमुर्ग, लकड़बग्घा, लंगूर सबका मजाक उड़ाता था। उसके प्रश्नों का कोई जवाब किसी के पास नहीं था।

एक दिन गोलू पता लगाना चाहता था कि मगरमच्छ दोपहर के भोजन में क्या खाजा है। वह लिपोपो नदी पर पता लगाने गया। जब गोलू नदी के किनारे पहुँचा तो उसको लगा कि मगरमच्छ जैसे लकड़ी का तना हो।

पर गोलू ने मगरमच्छ से ही मगरमच्छ के बारे में पूछा। जैसे ही गोलू पास गया, मगरमच्छ ने उसे नाक से पकड़ा। अजगर, जो उसका पीछा कर रहा था, उसने सुझाव दिया कि वह जोर लगाए। इस कारण गोलू की नाक लंबी हो गई। गोलू ने वहाँ नदी के किनारे बैठ कर अपनी नाक को ठंडा किया। अजगर ने गोलू को सलाह दी और उसे इस बात से अनुभव कराया कि सूंड उसके लिए बहुत फायदेमंद रहेगी। सूंड की सहायता से वह मक्खी उड़ा सकता है, घास के ढेर को उठा सकता है और किनारे से कीचड़ निकाल सकता है। अब गोलू खुशी से घर चला गया।

The Desert Summary in Hindi

एक मरुभूमि (रेगिस्तान) को सूखा, गर्म, एवं जलहीन व असीमित रेत का विस्तार माना जाता है। यह सुंदर भी हो सकता है। वर्षा के दौरान मरुभूमि में फूल खिल जाते हैं और बहुत ही सुंदर दृश्य प्रदान करते हैं।

एक मरुभूमि में पहाड़, पहाड़ियाँ एवं मरूद्यान होते हैं। मरुद्यान मरुभूमि को जिंदगी प्रदान करते हैं। कई रेगिस्तान जो बिना पानी के हैं, वहाँ पर रेत के टीले बन जाते हैं।

यहाँ पर पाए जाने वाले जानवरों और पौधों ने अपने आप को कम पानी की स्थिति में भी ढाल लिया है। ऊँट को रेगिस्तान का जहाज कहा जाता है। ऊँट ने अपने आप को इन परिस्थितियों में पूर्ण रूप से ढाल लिया है। उनको पसीने बहाने की कोई जरूरत नहीं होती। रेगिस्तान में पाए जाने वाले छोटे जानवर गर्मी में धरती के नीचे रहते हैं और जानवरों के मांस खाकर नमी प्राप्त करते हैं।

रेगिस्तानी क्षेत्रों में शुष्कपन और तापमान में अंतर बहुत ही सामान्य बात है। वायु में आर्द्रता एक कंबल या आवरण का काम करती है। पर मरुभूमि में इस परत की कमी होती है। इसलिए मरुभूमि को पृथ्वी का एक महत्त्वपूर्ण हिस्सा समझना चाहिए।

Bringing Up Kari Summary in Hindi

इस कहानी का लेखक जब नौ वर्ष का था तब उसे पाँच महीने के हाथी कारी को ध्यान के लिए सौंपा गया। दोनों एक साथ बड़े हुए। कारी ने एक बच्चे की जिंदगी भी बचाई। हर सुबह लेखक कारी को नहलाने ले जाता था जिसका वह आनंद लेता था।

नहाने के पश्चात्, लेखक उसके लिए नरम और स्वादिष्ट टहनियाँ लेने चला जाता। एक दिन लेखक को बहुत अजीब आवाज सुनाई दी। वह बहुत तेज दौड़ा और उसने देखा कि हाथी पानी में संघर्ष कर रहा था। कारी ने लेखक को पानी में धक्का दे दिया ताकि लड़का बचाया जा सके। लेखक ने उसे बचाने की बहुत कोशिश की पर फिर भी पानी का बहाव धक्का दे रहा था। कारी ने अपनी सूंड से धक्का दिया और वह तीर की तरह ऊपर आ गया। आखिर में कारी ने दोनों को किनारे पर धक्का दिया। . कारी एक बच्चे की तरह था और बहुत शरारती था। एक दिन उसने केले चख लिए और तवसे उसने केले चुराने के लिए सभी उपाय अपनाया। लेखक उसके माता-पिता ने सारे फल चुराने के लिए उसे दोषी ठहराया। पर आखिर में पाया कि कारी ही सारे फल खा रहा था। लेखक बहुत नाराज हुआ और उसे डाँटा।

लेखक ने हाथी को सिखाने की पूरी कोशिश की। उसने उसे चलना और बैठना सिखाया। कान खींचकर बैठना सिखाया गया और सैंड को आगे को खींचकर चलना सिखाया गया। लेखक जानता था कि हाथी को बैठना सिखाना बहुत जरूरी था. क्योंकि तभी उसकी पीठ तक पहुँचा जा सकता था।

सबसे मुश्किल और महत्त्वपूर्ण बात थी ‘मास्टर कॉल’ सिखाना। ‘मास्टर कॉल’ एक तरह की अजीब पुकार होती है जो कि देखभाल करने वाले के लिए हाथी को घर तक पहुँचने में सहायक होती है अगर वह जंगल में खो जाए।

The Tiny Teacher Summary in Hindi

चींटी एक सबसे सामान्य और छोटा कीड़ा है। चींटी बहुत छोटी और मेहनती है। चींटी स्पर्शक के द्वारा दूसरी चींटी से बात करती है। काली और लाल चींटी सबसे अधिक पाई जाती हैं। यह धरती के नीचे बांबी (आंट-हिल) में रहती हैं। इनमें सैकड़ों कमरे और रास्ते होते हैं जिनमें रानी अंडे देती है। कार्यकर्ता, सिपाही, सफाई कर्मचारी के रहने के लिए अलग जगह होती है। चींटी की जिंदगी बहुत शांतिपूर्वक होती है।

रानी पूरे समुदाय की माँ होती है। रानी गर्मी वाले दिन अपनी उड़ान लेती है। सिपाही अंडों की रक्षा करती हैं। अंडे रेशम के कीड़े में बदल जाते हैं। चींटी अपना कर्तव्य, बूढ़ी चींटी से जो कार्यकर्ता, सिपाही, निर्माता और सफाई कर्मचारी का काम करती हैं, उनसे सीखती है। तब छोटी चींटी दुनिया में जाने को तैयार हो जाती है।

चींटी भंग और हरी मक्खी को अपने घोंसले में रखना चाहती हैं। कुछ मीठी सुगंध प्रदान करती हैं और कुछ मीठा तरल प्रदान करती हैं।
मनुष्य अभी भी चींटी से बहुत पीछे है और उसे चींटी से मेहनत, अनुशासन, सफाई और कर्त्तव्यनिष्ठा की सीख लेनी चाहिए।

Fair Play Summary in English

Munshi Premchand has narrated the story of two friends Jumman Shaikh and Algu Choudhry. Jumman got some property from his aunt on the understanding that she would stay with him and he would look after her. When this understanding is violated, she approaches the village panchayat. Algu is made the head Panch. He gives the verdict in favour of aunt. Consequently, a friend turns a foe. Ther Jumman also gets a chance to settle the score, when he is made a head Panch by Sahu who does not want to pay the remaining money of a bullock sold to him by Algu. But when Jumman really becomes a head panch, he becomes impartial. He gives the verdict in favour of Algu. Thus justice triumphs.
