The Little Bully Summary In English

There was a boy named Hari. He was small but strong. He loved to tease all the boys and girls who went to school with him. What he loved to do most was to pinch. Another trick he played was pricking people with a pin. All the children therefore hated Hari. They never liked his company.

One day the class went for a picnic to the seaside. Although children were very excited, they did not go near Hari. They played among themselves leaving Hari alone on a sandy corner near a rocky pool.

It was the lunch time. Hari took out his lunch box and began to eat. Just then he saw a monster crab who came close to him and pinched him. Hari cried loudly. Soon many large lobsters and sandy-coloured shrimps and prawns came out and pricked him one by one. Hari was helpless. His lunch rolled into the pool. He somehow saved his life. Now, he realised his mistake and took a pledge not to pinch or prick the children any more because it pains a lot.

The Little Bully Summary In Hindi

हरि नाम का एक लड़का था। वह छोटा किन्तु बलवान था। उसे उन लड़के-लड़कियों को तंग करना अच्छा लगता था जो । उसके साथ स्कूल जाया करते थे। चिकोटी काटना उसे सबसे अधिक अच्छा लगता था। दूसरी शरारत जो वह लोगों के साथ करता था वह था उन्हें सुइयाँ चुभोना। सभी बच्चे इसलिए उससे घृणा करते थे। उन्हें उसका साथ कभी पसंद नहीं था। एक दिन कक्षा के सभी विद्यार्थी पिकनिक मनाने समुद्र के किनारे गए। यद्यपि बच्चे बहुत उत्तेजित थे, वे हरि के नजदीक नहीं जाते थे। वे हरि को अकेला पथरीला कुण्ड के समीप रेतीले कोने पर छोड़ आपस में खूब खेले।।

खाना खाने का समय हो गया। हरि ने अपना लंच बॉक्स निकाला और खाना शुरू कर दिया। तभी उसने एक बड़े केकड़ा। को देखा जो उसके समीप आ गया और उसे जोर से चिकोटी काट लिया। हरि चीख पड़ा। शीघ्र ही बहुत-से बड़े-बड़े झींगे, रेत के रंग के समुद्री केकड़े और समुद्री मछलियाँ बाहर आ गए और एक-एक करके हरि को काट लिया। हरि असहाय था। उसका लंच लुढ़क कर कुण्ड में गिर गया। उसने किसी तरह अपनी जान बचाई। अब उसे अपनी गलती का एहसास हुआ। उसने शपथ ली कि अब वह कभी भी बच्चों को चिकोटी नहीं काटेगा न ही उन्हें सुइयाँ चुभाएगा क्योंकि इससे बहुत दर्द होता है।

Class 5 English Chapter 2 The Little Bully Hindi Translation Of The Lesson

1. Once upon a time, not so very long ago, there was a small boy called Hari. Although he wasn’t very big, he was strong, and he loved to tease all the boys and girls who went to school with him. What he loved to do most was to pinch. He could make a big bruise appear in half a second. Another trick he played was pricking people with a pin.

So you can guess how all the children hated him. They tried pinching him back, but that was no good because he could always pinch harder. They didn’t like telling their teacher, because that was telling tales. It so happened that the class went for a picnic to the seaside for a whole day. All the children were most excited.
Word-Meanings-Tease (टीस) तंग करना, चिढ़ाना। Pinch (पिंच)–चिकोटी काटना। Bruise (ज)-injury, घाव। Trick (ट्रिक)-mischief, शरारत, शैतानी।
अनुवाद : एक समय की बात है, बहुत अधिक पहले नहीं, हरि नाम का एक छोटा लड़का था। यद्यपि वह बहुत बड़ा नहीं था, किन्तु बलवान था और अपने साथ स्कूल जाने वाले लड़के लड़कियों को परेशान करने में उसे खूब मजा आता था। उसे सबसे अच्छा चिकोटी काटना लगता था। आधे सेकण्ड में ही चोट का निशान उभर आता था। दूसरी शरारत जो वह करता था वह था लोगों को सुइयां चुभोना।

अब आप अनुमान लगा सकते हैं कि कैसे सभी बच्चे उससे घृणा करते थे। वे पीछे से उसे चिकोटी काटने का प्रयत्न करते थे लेकिन उससे कोई लाभ नहीं क्योंकि वह हमेशा उससे भी अधिक जोरदार चिकोटी काट सकता था। उन्हें अपने शिक्षक से इसके बारे में कहना अच्छा नहीं लगता था क्योंकि यह चुगली करने जैसा था।
ऐसा हुआ कि एक पूरे दिन के लिए कक्षा के बच्चे पिकनिक मनाने समुद्र के किनारे गए। सभी बच्चे बड़े उत्तेजित थे।

2. On that day, the sun shone bright, and all the children were wild with excitement. They crowded into the train and sat down – but nobody wanted to sit next to Hari because he always pinched.
When they arrived at the seaside, out jumped all the children with a shout of joy. Down to the sands they raced, hand in hand – but nobody took Hari’s hand. Nobody went near him.
Hari was angry. He went to a sandy corner near a rocky pool and sat down by himself. He took out his lunch and looked at it. It was a good lunch. There were two hard-boiled eggs, six jam sandwiches, three pieces of bread and butter, a ginger cake, and a bar of chocolate. He would eat it all by himself. He wouldn’t offer anything to anyone!
Word-Meanings-Raced (रस्ड)-ran, दौड़ गए। Pool (पूल)—a small body of still water, कुण्ड।
अनुवाद : उस दिन धूप अच्छी थी और सभी बच्चे खुशी से पागले बने जा रहे थे। वे एक साथ झुण्ड में ट्रेन में चढ़े और बैठ गए लेकिन किसी ने हरि के बगल में बैठना नहीं चाहा क्योंकि वह हमेशा चिकोटी काटता रहता था।
जब वे समुद्र के किनारे पहुँचे, सभी खुशी से चिल्ला उठे। वे एक-दूसरे के हाथ में हाथ डालकर रेत की ओर दौड़ पड़े लेकिन किसी ने हरि का हाथ नहीं पकड़ा। कोई उसके नजदीक भी नहीं गया।
हरि क्रोधित था। वह एक पथरीले कुण्ड के समीप रेतीले कोने में गया और अकेला बैठ गया। उसने अपना भोजन निकाला और उसको देखा। यह अच्छा भोजन था। दो उबले अण्डे, छः जैम सैण्डविच, तीन मक्खन लगे ब्रेड के टुकड़े, एक जिंजर केक और चॉकलेट का बार था। वह अकेला ही सब खाएगा। वह किसी को कुछ भी नहीं देगा।

3. Just as he was beginning on the eggs, he heard a hoarse voice near him. “Good morning! I am so pleased to meet a boy like you.” Hari turned around and stared in fright. Whatever do you think he saw?
Hari saw a monster crab walking sideways out of the pool. His eyes were on the ends of short stalks and he looked most queer. He held out his front claw to Hari. Hari put out his hand to shake the crab’s claw, but to his surprise and anger the crab opened his pincers and nipped his hand so hard that the little boy yelled.
Word-Meanings-Hoarse (होस)-rough, कर्कश। Pleased (प्लीज्ड)-happy, खुश। Starred (स्टेअर्ड)-looked at, घूरा। Fright (फ्राइट)-fear, डर। Stalks (स्टॉक्स)—-stems, डंठल। Queer (क्वीर)–strange, अजीब, विचित्र। Nipped (निप्ड)-pinched, काट लिया। Yelled (येल्ड)– cried loudly, जोर से चीखा।।
अनुवाद : जैसे ही उसने अण्डे खाना शुरू किया, उसे अपने नजदीक एक कर्कश आवाज सुनाई दी, “सुप्रभात! तुम्हारे जैसे लड़के से मिलकर मैं बहुत खुश हूं।” हरि मुड़ा और भय से घूरने लगा। क्या आप सोच सकते हैं कि उसने क्या देखा?
हरि ने एक राक्षस केकड़ा देखा जो कुण्ड के किनारे-किनारे घूम रहा था। उसकी आँखें छोटी-छोटी डंठलों के सिरों पर थीं और वह बहुत ही अजीब-सा दिख रहा था। उसने अपना अगला पंजा हरि को बढ़ाया। हरि केकड़े के पंजे से हाथ मिलाने के लिए अपना हाथ बढ़ाया लेकिन उसे आश्चर्य और गुस्सा हुआ जब केकड़े ने अपनी संद्रासी खोली और उसके हाथ पर इतनी जोर की चिकोटी काटी कि वह छोटा बच्चा चीख पड़ा।

4. “Ah, here is my good cousin,” said the crab pleasantly, and, to Hari’s horror, he saw a large sandy lobster crawling heavily out of the pool. Before the little boy could stop him the lobster took in his great pincer-like claws and pinched it so hard that Hari yelled in pain.

Then he started at the pool in surprise, for, out came sandy-coloured shrimps and prawns, more crabs, and another large lobster and they pricked Hari till he was soon black and blue with their pinching.. “Don’t you like it?” said all the creatures in surprise. “Why, we were told you would love to see us because you were a champion pincher and pricker yourself. Come, come join in the fun!”
Word-Meanings-Pleasantly (प्लीजेन्टलि)-happily, खुशी से। Horror (हॉरर)-fear, भय। Lobster (लॉब्स्टर)-shellfish, झींगा। Champion (चैम्पियन)-master, अव्वल। Shrimps (शिम्प्स) समुद्री केकड़े। Prawns (प्रॉन्ज)—समुद्री मछलियां।
अनुवाद : “आह, यहाँ मेरा अच्छा चचेरा भाई है,” केकड़े ने खुशी से कहा, और हरि ने रेत के रंग का एक विशाल झींगा कुण्ड से निकलते देखा। इसके पहले कि वह छोटा लड़का उसको रोके वह झींगा अपने संद्रासी जैसे बड़े-बड़े पंजों में उसे पकड़ लिया और इतनी जोर से चिकोटी काटी कि हरि दर्द से कराह उठा।

तब वह हैरानी में कुण्ड की ओर देखा क्योंकि वहाँ से रेत के रंग के समुद्री केकड़े और समुद्री मछली और एक अन्य बड़ा झींगा बाहर आया और वे सभी हरि को तब तक चिकोटी काटते रहे जब तक वह नीले रंग का न पड़ गया।

“क्या तुम्हें यह पसंद नहीं है?” सभी जीव आश्चर्य में बोले । “क्यों, हमें बताया गया था कि तुम हमें देखना चाहोगे क्योंकि तुम स्वयं चिकोटी काटने में अव्वल हो। आओ, आओ खेल में शामिल हो जाओ।”

5. Hari leapt to his feet, crying loudly. His lunch rolled into the pool, and when the crabs and lobsters saw it they ran to it and began to feast eagerly. Hari saw that they had forgotten him for a time, and he turned and ran for his life, tears streaming down his cheeks.

“They only did to me what I keep doing to the other children,” he thought. “But how it hurt! And how I hated those crabs and lobsters! I suppose the other children hate me too. Well, I jolly we shan’t pinch or prick any more.”
Word-Meanings-Leapt (लीप्ट)–jumped, कूदा। Feast (फीस्ट) eat, खाने लगना। Streaming (स्ट्रीमिंग)-rolling, बहने लगे।
अनुवाद हरि जोर-जोर से चीखता हुआ कूदकर खड़ा हो गया। उसका भोजन कुण्ड में लुढ़क गया और जब केकड़ों और झींगों ने उसे देखा तो खाना शुरू कर दिया। हरि ने जब देखा कि वे उसको कुछ समय के लिए भूल गए तब वह मुड़ा और जान बचाकर भागा, उसकी गालों पर आँसू की धाराएं वह रही थीं।

“उन्होंने मेरे साथ वही किया जो मैं दूसरे बच्चों के साथ करता रहता हूँ,” उसने सोचा! “लेकिन यह कितना दर्द देता है! और कैसे मैं उन केकड़ों और झींगों से घृणा करने लगा हूँ। मुझे लगता है कि अन्य बच्चे भी मुझसे इसी तरह घृणा करते हैं। अच्छा, अब मैं किसी को चिकोटी नहीं काटुंगा न ही सुईयाँ चुभाऊँगा।”
