आप से ख़श था। वह आधा घंटा देरी से आया। मैं उसका बगीचे में इतंजार कर रहा था। मौसम सुहावना था। उसने कहा, “तुम्हारी मशीन देखने में सुन्दर है। वह कैसे चलती है ?”

मैंने कहा, “ऐसा मत करो, तुम उसे नुकसान पहुंचा दोगे।”
Word Meaning : Fork-pronged instrument = चिमटा, Violently-very hastly = बहुत तेजी से।
3. I did …………………………………. my dog.

मुझे समझ नहीं आया कि वह उसे क्यों हिला रहा था जबकि उसने उसके साथ कुछ नहीं किया था। इसके अलावा अगर उसे हिलाने की जरूरत थी तो हिलाने के लिए मैं सही व्यक्ति था। मुझे ऐसा लगा जैसे कि उसने मेरे कुत्ते को जोर से चोट दी है।
उसने कहा, “आगे का पहिया हिलता है।”
मैंने कहा, अगर तुम इसे न हिलाओ तो वह नही हिलता।” वह बिल्कुल नहीं हिलता था, वास्तव में कुछ भी हिलने जैसी चीज न थी।

हम आधे घंटे तक सिर नीचे कर के घूमते रहे, और सोलह ढूँढ लिए। उसने कहा कि वह आशा करता है अगर उन्हें सारे मिल जाते, क्योंकि अगर नहीं, तो मशीन को बहुत गम्भीर फर्क पड़ेगा। मैंने उन्हें अपनी टोपी में सुरक्षापूर्वक रख दिया। यह करना समझदारी की बात नहीं थी, मैंने स्वीकार किया।
Word Meaning : Grovelled-to lie prostrate = सिर नीचे करना, Hoped-wish for = आशा।
9. He then ………………… comes cheaper.”
उसने कहा कि जब वह यह कर रहा है तो वह मेरे लिए चेन को देख लेगा, और एकदम उसने गियर को निकालना शुरू कर दिया। मैंने उसे रोकने की कोशिश की। मैंने उससे बताया कि एक बार मेरे अनुभवी दोस्त ने औपचारिकता से कहा, अगर तुम्हारे गियर के साथ कुछ गलत हो जाए तो मशीन को बेच कर नई खरीद लेना, यह सस्ता रहेगा।

उसने कहा, “जो लोग ऐसा बोलते हैं वह मशीन के बारे में कुछ नहीं समझते। गियर निकालने से आसान कुछ नहीं है।”
मुझे स्वीकार करना पड़ा कि वह ठीक था। पाँच मिनट से कम में उपकरण यंत्र दो हिस्सों में हो गया, और पेंच ढूँढने के लिए रास्ते में झुका हुआ लेटा हुआ था। उसने कहा कि यह उसके लिए हमेशा रहस्य था जिस तरह से पेंच गायब हुए।

11. Common sense ……………….thegate!’
But I am weak when it comes to hurting other people’s feelings, and I let him muddle on.
मेरी सामान्य समझ मेरे कानों में कुछ फुसफुसा रही थी, “उसको रोको, इससे पहले कि वह कोई और शरारत करे। तुम्हारे पास अपनी संपत्ति को एक पागल के आक्रमण से बचाने का पूरा अधिकार है। उसको गर्दन से पकडकर गेट के बाहर निकाल दो।” पर जब दूसरे लोगों की भावनाओं से खेलने का समय आता है तो मैं कमजोर महसूस करता हूँ और मैंने उसे बेवकूफी करने दी।

अब वह चेन के बारे में देखेगा। उसने उसे तब तक कसा जब तक वह हिलनी बंद नहीं हो गई. आगे उसने उसे इतना ढीला कर दिया जैसे कि पहले से दुगनी ढीली हो गई। तब उसने कहा कि हमें अगला पहिया सही जगह वापस रखने के बारे में सोचना चाहिए।

13. I held ………………….. changed places. At length ……………………… out laughing.

ऐसा लगा जैसे कि साइकिल भी बहुत सहन कर चुकी थी। यह कहना मुश्किल था कि ज्यादा सजा किसे मिली थी। मैं उसे पिछवाड़े में रसोई में ले गया, जहाँ तक हो सकता था उसने अपने आप को साफ किया। तब मैंने उसे घर भेज दिया।
