किसी समय, कुत्ते, स्वयं अपने मालिक हुआ करते थे और भेड़ियों की तरह स्वतंत्र रहते थे, जब तक एक वैसा कुत्ता पैदा नहीं हुआ जो उस प्रकार के जीवन से नाखुश था। वह परेशान हो गया था और अकेला भोजन की तलाश में घूमता हुआ ऊब गया था और वह उन (जीवों) से भयभीत था जो उससे ज्यादा ताकतवर थे।।

वह चलता ही गया और उसे अपना संबंधी, एक बड़ा भेड़िया मिला जो उतना ही शक्तिशाली था जितना वह डरावना था।
“कुत्ते, तुम कहाँ जा रहे हो?” भेड़िया ने पूछा।
‘मैं किसी की तलाश में हूँ जिसकी नौकरी कर सकूँ। भेड़िया, क्या आप, मेरा मालिक बनना पसंद करेंगे?’

‘मुझे नहीं कहने का कोई कारण नजर नहीं आता। ‘भेड़िये ने उत्तर दिया, और यह बात तय होने के बाद, वे दोनों इकट्ठे चल दिए।

वे चलते ही चलते गए, और अचानक भेड़िया ने अपनी नाक ऊपर की तरफ उठाई, सूंघा और तत्काल, रास्ते से हट गया और झाड़ियों के बीच छलाँगें लगाता हुआ, घने जंगल में जा पहुंचा।
कुत्ते को बड़ा आश्चर्य हुआ।

‘मालिक, आपके साथ क्या बीत गई है?’ उसने पूछा-‘किस चीज ने आपको इतना भयभीत कर दिया है?’
“क्या तुम्हें दिखाई नहीं देता है? वहाँ एक भालू है और वह हम दोनों को खा सकता है-तुम्हें और मुझे।”

यह देख (जान) कर कि भालू, भेड़िया से अधिक बलवान है, कुत्ते ने उस (भालू) की नौकरी करने की मन में ठान ली, और उसने भेड़िया को छोड़ दिया और भालू से उसका मालिक बनने की प्रार्थना की। भालू, इस बात पर तत्काल सहमत हो गया और बोला। “आओ चलते हैं और गायों के किसी झंड की तलाश करते हैं। मैं एक गाय को मार दूंगा और तब हम दोनों भरपेट भोजन कर सकेंगे।”

वे चलते गए और तुरंत उन्हें गायों का एक झंड दिखाई पड़ा परंतु ज्यों ही वे उनके पास पहुँचने ही वाले थे, एक भयानक शोर को सुनकर वे रुक गए। गायें जोर से रंभा रही थीं और आतंकित होकर सभी दिशाओं में भाग रही थीं।

भालू ने एक पेड़ के पीछे से (दूर तक) देखा और फिर वह भी तेज रफ्तार से भागता हुआ गहरे जंगल में पहुँच गया।
“अब, मुझे यहाँ क्यों आना पड़ा?” उसने कुत्ते को बताया। “वहाँ शेर था जो इस क्षेत्र के जंगल पर शासन करता है।”
“शेर? वह कौन है?”
“क्या तुम्हें पता नहीं है? वह पृथ्वी पर बलिष्टतम जंगली जानवर है।”
“ठीक है, तब तो भालू, मैं आपको अलविदा कहूँगा। मुझे वैसा मालिक चाहिए जो पृथ्वी पर दूसरों से अधिक बलशाली हो।” और शेर से यह पूछने के लिए कि क्या वह उसका मालिक बन जाएगा, कुत्ता उससे दूर चला गया।

शेर इस बात को मान गया और कुत्ता उसके साथ ठहरा रहा और काफी लंबे समय तक उसकी सेवा की। वह बढ़िया जीवन था, और उसे किसी बात की शिकायत नहीं थी, क्योंकि शेर से बढ़कर जंगल में कोई दूसरा जंगली जानवर बलवान नहीं था और कुत्ते को छूने या किसी प्रकार से रुष्ट करने की किसी में हिम्मत नहीं थी।

“क्या बात है, मालिक, क्या कुछ परेशानी आ गई है?” कुत्ते ने आश्चर्ययुक्त होकर पूछा।

“मुझे, इधर आते हुए किसी आदमी की महक (गंध) आ रही है,” शेर बोला। “इसलिए, इसी में फायदा है कि हम भाग जाएँ नहीं तो हम मुसीबत में पड़ जाएँगे।”
“अरे, अच्छा, तब तो मैं आप को अलविदा कहूँगा, शेर। मुझे वैसा मालिक चाहिए जो पृथ्वी पर दूसरों से अधिक बलवान हो।”

और कुत्ता उस आदमी से मिलने के लिए दूर चला गया और वह उसी के साथ ठहरा रहा और वफादारी से उसकी सेवा की। यह बात बहुत समय पहले घटित हुई थी, परंतु अभी तक कुत्ता, मनुष्य का सर्वाधिक वफादार नौकर है और वह किसी दूसरे मालिक को नहीं जानता है।

और अपने वायदे के अनुसार उस छोटे देव (यक्ष) ने पैट्रिक का गृहकार्य करना प्रारंभ कर दिया। केवल (उसमें) एक त्रुटि रह गई। देव को हर समय यह ज्ञान नहीं होता था कि वह क्या करे और उसे मदद की जरूरत पड़ती थी। मेरी सहायता करो! मेरी । सहायता करो! वह कह देता था और पैट्रिक को सहायता करनी पड़ती थी-किसी न किसी तरीके से।

‘इस शब्द को मैं नहीं जानता हूँ’. पैट्रिक के गृहकार्य को पढ़ते हुए छोटा यक्ष किकियाता था। ‘मेरे वास्ते एक शब्दकोश ला दो। नहीं, और अधिक अच्छा होगा कि आप शब्द को शब्दकोश में देखें और उसके प्रत्येक अक्षर को बोलकर सुनाएँ।’

Word-meaning:

यक्षों को मानव इतिहास की तनिक भी जानकारी नहीं होती है, उनके लिए यह एक रहस्य होता है। इसलिए, छोटा यक्ष जो पहले से शोर मचा रहा था, थोड़ा अधिक ऊँचा बोला ‘पुस्तकालय में चले जाओ। मुझे पुस्तकों की जरूरत है। अधिक से अधिक पुस्तक और उन्हें पढ़ने में भी आप मेरी सहायता कर सकते हैं।’

यथार्थ में, प्रतिदिन, वह छोटा यक्ष, हर तरह से परेशानी का कारण बन गया। पैट्रिक, पहले से अधिक कठोर परिश्रम कर रहा था और क्या यह बात नीरस थी। वह रात-भर काम करता रहता
था, उसने स्वयं को कभी उतना थका हुआ महसूस नहीं किया था | और सूजी हुई तथा धुंधली आँखों से स्कूल जाता था।

Word-Meaning:
Finally-in the end, अन्त में। Arrived-approached, came, आ पहूँचा, Quietly, silently, चुपचाप। Slyly-artfully चतुराई से।

9. Patrick ……………….. it himself!
पैट्रिक को ‘ए’ दर्जा मिला; उसके सहपाठी हैरान हो गए। उसके अध्यापक मुस्कुराए और उसकी प्रशंसा करने लगे। और उसके माता-पिता? उन्हें आश्चर्य हुआ कि पैट्रिक को क्या हो (पा) गया था। वह अब आदर्श बालक है। अपने कमरे की सफाई करता था, अपने सभी काम करता था, प्रसन्नचित्त रहता था, कभी अविनीत नहीं होता था, ऐसा प्रतीत होता था कि उसने समचा नया दृष्टिकोण विकसित कर लिया था।

जैसा आपने देखा है. फिर भी अंत में पैट्रिक सोचता था कि उसने यह छोटे यक्ष से अपना सारा गृहकार्य करा लिया था परंतु मैं इस रहस्य को केवल तुम्हारे और अपने बीच रखूगा। यह यक्ष ने नहीं किया था। इसे स्वयं पैट्रिक ने किया था!

If I were a baby crocodile, I would certainly tell Makara that he was wrong. I would tell him about the evil results of his hasty, stupid and cruel decisions.

The rats would eat up the eggs of the lizards and the crocodiles in the absence of snakes. Huge frogs, insects and rats would cause a nuisance in the absence of lizards. I would convince him about the fact that each of the creatines has its own utility in this strange world.
