जी.एल. फुएन्ट्स द्वारा लिखित कहानी "ए लेटर टू गॉड" (भगवान के नाम एक पत्र) का हिंदी अनुवाद नीचे दिया गया है:

भगवान के नाम एक पत्र - जी.एल. फुएन्ट्स

परिचय

  • यह लेन्चो नामक एक मेहनती किसान की कहानी है।

  • 'ए लेटर टू गॉड' ईश्वर में अटूट विश्वास की कहानी है।

  • लेन्चो यह देखकर स्तब्ध रह जाता है कि उसकी फसल बर्बाद हो गई है। वह मदद के लिए भगवान की ओर मुड़ता है।

लेन्चो के बारे में

  • लेन्चो एक किसान था।

  • पूरी घाटी में उसका घर अकेला था।

  • उसका घर एक पहाड़ी की चोटी पर स्थित था।

  • उसके खेतों को एक अच्छी फसल के लिए बारिश की जरूरत थी, वह बारिश की उम्मीद में आसमान की ओर देख रहा था।

बारिश की बूंदें सिक्कों की तरह

  • भोजन के दौरान, बारिश की बड़ी बूंदें गिरने लगीं।

  • वह अपने शरीर पर बारिश का अनुभव करने के लिए बाहर गया।

  • बारिश की बूंदें सिक्कों के समान थीं।

  • बड़ी बूंदें दस सेंट के सिक्के थीं और छोटी बूंदें पांच सेंट की थीं।

ओलावृष्टि (ओले गिरना)

  • अचानक तेज हवा चलने लगी, लेन्चो चिंतित हो गया।

  • बारिश के साथ-साथ बहुत बड़े ओले गिरने लगे।

  • वे वास्तव में चांदी के सिक्कों जैसे लग रहे थे।

  • घर, खेत और पहाड़ी का हिस्सा सफेद ओलों से ढक गया।

  • पेड़ों पर एक भी पत्ता नहीं बचा।

  • मकई की फसल पूरी तरह से नष्ट हो गई।

  • फूल भी नष्ट हो गए। लेन्चो बहुत दुखी था।

भगवान से मदद

  • लेन्चो ने सोचा कि अब केवल एक ही आशा बची है—भगवान से मदद।

  • अगले रविवार उसने भगवान को एक पत्र लिखा। उसने लिखा कि यदि भगवान ने उसकी मदद नहीं की, तो उसका पूरा परिवार भूखा मर जाएगा।

  • उसे अपने खेत को फिर से बोने और अगली फसल आने तक जीवित रहने के लिए 100 पेसो की आवश्यकता थी।

  • उसने लिफाफे पर "भगवान को" (To God) लिखा, उस पर टिकट लगाया और उसे डाकपेटी में डाल दिया।

अजीब पता

  • एक डाकिया, जिसने वह पता पढ़ा, वह दिल खोलकर हंसा और उसे पोस्टमास्टर के पास ले गया।

  • पोस्टमास्टर काफी मिलनसार और हंसमुख व्यक्ति था। वह भी हंसने लगा, लेकिन जल्द ही वह गंभीर हो गया।

  • उसे एहसास हुआ कि पत्र भेजने वाले का भगवान में अटूट विश्वास है। वह लेखक के विश्वास को डगमगाना नहीं चाहता था, इसलिए उसने पत्र का उत्तर देने का निर्णय लिया।

पोस्टमास्टर द्वारा मदद

  • उदार पोस्टमास्टर ने अपने कर्मचारियों से पैसे इकट्ठे किए।

  • उसने स्वयं अपने वेतन का एक हिस्सा दिया। उसने कुल 70 पेसो (जितना वह इकट्ठा कर सका) एक लिफाफे में रखे और डाक द्वारा लेन्चो को भेज दिए।

लेन्चो का गुस्सा

  • लेन्चो का ईश्वर में दृढ़ और अटूट विश्वास था। उसे भगवान से मदद की पूरी उम्मीद थी।

  • जब उसे पैसे मिले, तो वह हैरान नहीं हुआ। लेकिन उसकी खुशी बस कुछ ही पलों की थी।

  • जब उसने पैसे गिने, तो वह बहुत क्रोधित हो गया। उसे विश्वास था कि भगवान उसे कभी धोखा नहीं दे सकते।

  • तुरंत उसने भगवान को दूसरा पत्र लिखा और उसे पोस्ट कर दिया।

  • पोस्टमास्टर ने उत्सुकता से पत्र खोला। लेन्चो ने लिखा था कि उसे केवल 70 पेसो मिले जो भगवान द्वारा भेजे गए थे।

  • उसने भगवान से शेष राशि भेजने का अनुरोध किया। उसने भगवान से कहा कि इस बार पैसे डाक के माध्यम से न भेजें, क्योंकि पोस्ट ऑफिस के कर्मचारी "ठगों का एक झुंड" (Bunch of Crooks) हैं, जिन्होंने भगवान द्वारा भेजे गए पैसों में से 30 पेसो चुरा लिए हैं

Dust of Snow by Robert Frost

  Dust of Snow ‘Dust of Snow’ is a beautiful short poem written by Robert Frost. This poem tells us the importance of simple moment. It contains a large significance. The poet has mentioned crow and hemlock tree in this poem. The poet was in depressed and sorrowful mood. A crow was sitting on a hemlock tree which is a poisonous tree. The crow shook the tree and dust of snow falls on the poet. It changed the poet's mood and he saved part of his day. Summary: Dust of Snow  The poem is set on a cold, snowy day. The poet, Robert Frost, is in a very sad, hopeless, and depressed mood. He mentions a Crow and a Hemlock tree . In literature, both are usually seen as negative symbols (a crow is often associated with bad luck, and a hemlock tree is poisonous).  While the poet is standing under the tree, a crow shakes the branch. This action causes fine particles of snow (the "dust of snow") to fall on the poet.  This sudden, tiny natural event instantly changes the poet’s inte...

A Photograph by Shirley Toulson

  A Photograph by Shirley Toulson               The poetess looks at the cardboard on which there is a childhood photograph of her mother. In the photograph her mother had gone for a sea holiday with two her cousins Betty and Dolly for paddling. Their uncle took a photograph of them. Both the cousins were holding the hands of her mother who was the eldest among the girls. This was before the poetess was born. Her mother would look at the photograph after about twenty to thirty years and laugh nostalagically. Now for the poetess, her mother’s laughter and her sea holiday is a thing of the past. Because her mother died about 12 years ago. The silence of the photograph silences the poetess. She experiences great loss. कवयित्री उस गत्ते (कार्डबोर्ड) को देखती है, जिस पर उसकी माँ के बचपन की एक तस्वीर लगी हुई है। उस तस्वीर में उसकी माँ अपने दो चचेरी बहनों, बेट्टी और डॉली के साथ समुद्र किनारे छुट्टियाँ मनाने गई हुई थी और वे पानी में खेल रही थीं। उनके मामा...
