I. Let’s Appreciate The Poem:
(A)
Question 1.
Why do you think the flowers dance upon the grass in wild glee?
(ତୁମେ କାହିଁକି ଭାବୁଛ ଫୁଲଗୁଡ଼ିକ ଘାସ ଉପରେ ପ୍ରବଳ ଉତ୍ତେଜନାରେ ନାଚୁଛନ୍ତି ?)
Answer:
I think the flowers dance upon the gears that come down with them. During storms, branches clash together in the forest and the leaves rustle in the wild wind. The moist east wind comes marching over the uncultivated land also.

Question 2.
Do you think the speaker feels that holidays are funnier than school days?
(ତୁମେ ଭାବୁଛ କି ସ୍କୁଲ ଦିନ ଅପେକ୍ଷା ଛୁଟିଦିନସବୁ ଅଧ୍ବକ କୌତୂହଳପ୍ରଦ ବୋଲି ବକ୍ତା ଅନୁଭବ କରୁଛନ୍ତି ?)
Answer:
Yes, I think so.

Question 3.
Why does the speaker think that the flowers go to school underground?
(ବକ୍ତା କାହିଁକି ଭାବୁଛନ୍ତି ଯେ ଫୁଲଗୁଡ଼ିକ ଭୂପୃଷ୍ଠ ତଳେ ଥ‌ିବା ବିଦ୍ୟାଳୟକୁ ଯାଆନ୍ତି ?)
Answer:
The speaker thinks that the flowers go to school underground as he notices them only when the monsoon rain comes and he does not notice the flowers anywhere in other seasons. So he thinks they must have been in school underground all year round.

Question 4.
How does the speaker describe the storm?
(ବକ୍ତା କିଭଳି ଝଡ଼କୁ ବର୍ଣ୍ଣନା କରିଛନ୍ତି ?)
Answer:
According to the speaker the storm-clouds rumble (make a long deep sound) as if they clap their giant hands and showers come down with them. During storms, branches clash together in the forest and the leaves rustle in the wild wind. The moist east wind comes marching over the uncultivated land also.

Question 5.
Do you think that the speaker’s description of the flowers and their school has any reality in real life?
ତୁମେ କ’ଣ ଭାବୁଛ ବକ୍ତାଙ୍କର ଫୁଲ ଓ ସେମାନଙ୍କର ବିଦ୍ୟାଳୟ ସମ୍ପର୍କିତ ବର୍ଣ୍ଣନାର ଜୀବନର ବାସ୍ତବତା ସହ କିଛି ସମ୍ପର୍କ ଅଛି ?)
Answer:
Yes, I think that the speaker’s description of the flowers and their school has a reality in real life.

Question 6.
Which elements of nature celebrate holidays with the flower children and how?
(ପ୍ରକୃତିର କେଉଁସବୁ ଉପାଦାନ ଫୁଲରୂପୀ ପିଲାମାନଙ୍କ ସହିତ ଛୁଟି ପାଳନ କରୁଛନ୍ତି ଓ କିପରି ?)
Answer:
Elements of nature like (ପରି) branches of trees in the forest, their leaves, and thunderclouds celebrate holidays with the flower children. With the blowing of wild wind, branches clash together in the forest and leaves make rustling sounds, and the thunderclouds rumble as if they clap with their big hands. In this way, they celebrate their holiday.

Question 7.
Identify the lines and phrases in the poem which indicate that the flower children have a strict system of schooling.
(କବିତାରେ ଫୁଲରୂପୀ ପିଲାମାନଙ୍କର କଠୋର ବିଦ୍ୟାଳୟ ବ୍ୟବସ୍ଥା ଥ‌ିବା କଥା ସୂଚିତ କରୁଥିବା ଧାଡ଼ି ଓ ବାକ୍ୟାଶଗୁଡ଼ିକୁ ଚିହ୍ନିତ କର ।)
Answer:
The lines and phrases in the poem which indicate that the flower children have a strict system of schooling are: “They do their lessons with doors shut, and if they want to come out to play before it is time, their master makes them stand in a comer. ”

Personification is a device in which a thing or an idea or an animal is given human qualities and described as a living thing. (Personification ବା ବ୍ୟକ୍ତିତ୍ବ ଆରୋପଣ ହେଉଛି ଏକ ଅଳଙ୍କାର ଯେଉଁଥରେ ଏକ ପଦାର୍ଥ ବା ଏକ ଧାରଣା କିମ୍ବା ଏକ ପ୍ରାଣୀ ମାନବୀୟ ଗୁଣାବଳୀ ପ୍ରଦତ୍ତ ହୋଇଥାଏ ଏବଂ ଏକ ଜୀବନ୍ତ ପଦାର୍ଥ ଭଳି ବର୍ଣ୍ଣନା କରାଯାଇଥାଏ ।)
Pick out as many such examples as you can from the poem. One is done for you.
(ତୁମେ କବିତା ଯେତେ ପାରୁଛ ସେହିଭଳି ଉଦାହରଣ ବାହାର କର । ଗୋଟିଏ ତୁମ ପାଇଁ କରିଦିଆଯାଇଛି ।)

Question 2.
Poets use words and pictures to bring out comparisons between persons, ideas or objects with similar quality or appearance. (ସମାନ ଗୁଣ ବା ଚେହେରା ଥ‌ିବା ବ୍ୟକ୍ତି, ଧାରଣା ବା ପଦାର୍ଥଗୁଡ଼ିକ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ତୁଳନା କରିବା ପାଇଁ କବିମାନେ ଶବ୍ଦ ଛବି ବ୍ୟବହାର କରିଥା’ନ୍ତି ।)
What are the things below compared to in the poem you just read?

The Flower-School Summary in English

Lead-In:
In this poem the speaker is excitedly (ପ୍ରବଳ ଆଗ୍ରହର ସହିତ) watching the monsoon rain (ମୌସୁମୀ ବର୍ଷା) and noticing (ଲକ୍ଷ୍ୟ କରୁଛନ୍ତି) small flowers that have bloomed (g© ©09) all over the place. He wonders (ଆଶ୍ଚର୍ଯ୍ୟ ପ୍ରକଟ କରିଛନ୍ତି) where they had been all the year round. He imagines (ଚିନ୍ତା|ଅନୁଭବ କରିଛନ୍ତି) they must have been in school just like him. The speaker wonders why the pretty flowers (ସୁନ୍ଦର ଫୁଲସବୁ) are so eager (ଉତ୍ସୁକ) to come out and play. He concludes (ଶେଷରେ ମତପ୍ରକାଶ କରିଛନ୍ତି) that they too need the warmth and love of their mother.

Stanzawise Explanation:
Stanza 1 (Lines 1 to 7)
When storm-clouds rumble in the sky and June showers
come down,
The moist east wind comes marching over the
heath to blow its bagpipes among the bamboo.
Then crowds of flowers come out of a sudden,
from nobody knows where, and dance upon
the grass in wild glee.

Gist: When storm clouds make a series of rumbling sounds in the sky and the heavy rain in June showers down, the soggy (wet) east wind blows over the large flat uncultivated areas with little shrubs as if blowing its bagpipes among the bamboo. All of a sudden plenty of flowers come out invisible and dance upon the grass in great delight or thrill.
ଅନୁବାଦ : ଯେତେବେଳେ ଆକାଶରେ ଝଡ଼ଜନିତ ବାଦଲ ଘଡ଼ଘଡ଼ି ଶବ୍ଦ କରେ ଓ ଜୁନ୍ ମାସର ବର୍ଷା ବର୍ଷ ଉଠେ, ଆର୍ଦ୍ରତାପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ ପୂବେଇ ପବନ ଗୁଳ୍ମପୂର୍ଣ ବ୍ୟାପକ ପତିତ ଜମି ଉପରେ ବାଉଁଶ ବୃକ୍ଷ ମଧ୍ଯରେ ଭେରୀ ବଜାଇବାପାଇଁ ପ୍ରବାହିତ ହୋଇଆସେ । ହଠାତ୍ କେଉଁ ଅଜଣା ବା ଅଦୃଶ୍ୟ ସ୍ଥାନରୁ ଫୁଲସବୁ ଫୁଟି ବାହାରି ଆସନ୍ତି ଓ ଅତି ଆନନ୍ଦ ଓ ରୋମାଞ୍ଚରେ ସବୁଜ ଘାସ ଉପରେ ନୃତ୍ୟ କରନ୍ତି ।

Stanza 2 (Lines 8 to 13)
Mother, I really think the flowers go to school
underground.
They do their lessons with doors shut, and if
they want to come out to play before it is time,
their master makes them stand in a corner.
When the rains come they have their holidays.

Gist: The poet addresses or calls his mother and tells her that these flowers go to school underground. The flowers shutting (closing) the doors, do their lessons. Like little children at school, their master makes them stand in a corner if the flowers wish to come out to play in the gentle breeze before time. With the onset (beginning) of rain, these flowers enjoy their holidays.
ଅନୁବାଦ : କବି ଏହି ସମୟରେ ତାଙ୍କ ମାଆଙ୍କୁ ଡାକିଛନ୍ତି ଓ ସେ ତାଙ୍କୁ (ନିଜ ମା’ଙ୍କୁ) କହିଛନ୍ତି ଯେ ଏହି ଫୁଲସବୁ ଭୂପୃଷ୍ଠ ନିମ୍ନରେ ଥ‌ିବା ବିଦ୍ୟାଳୟକୁ ଯା’ନ୍ତି । ଫୁଲସବୁ ଦ୍ୱାର ବନ୍ଦ କରି ଭିତରେ ସେମାନଙ୍କ ପାଠ ପଢ଼ନ୍ତି । ଯଦି ସେମାନେ ସମୟ ପୂର୍ବରୁ ବାହାରକୁ ଆସି ମୁକ୍ତ ପବନରେ ଖେଳିବାକୁ ଚାହାନ୍ତି, ସେମାନଙ୍କର ଶିକ୍ଷକ (ମାଲିକ) ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ ଗୋଟିଏ କୋଣରେ ଠିଆ କରାଇ ଦିଅନ୍ତି । ବର୍ଷା ଆସିବାମାତ୍ରେ ଏହି ଫୁଲସବୁ ସେମାନଙ୍କର ଛୁଟି ସମୟକୁ ଖୁବ୍ ଉପଭୋଗ କରନ୍ତି ।

Stanza3. (Lines 14 to 17)
Branches clash together in the forest and the
leaves rustle in the wild wind, the thunder-clouds
clap their giant hands and the flower children
rush Out in dresses of pink and yellow and white.

Gist: Branches of trees strike hard with one another in the forest. The leaves rustle in the hard wind. With this, the thunder-clouds appear to clap their huge hands and the flower children come out quickly as if dressed in pink, yellow, and white colors.
ଅନୁବାଦ : ବୃକ୍ଷଗୁଡ଼ିକର ଡାଳ ବର୍ଷାରେ ଜଙ୍ଗଲରେ ପରସ୍ପର ମଧ୍ୟରେ ଘର୍ଷଣ ହୋଇ ବାଡ଼େଇ ହୁଏ । ପ୍ରଚଣ୍ଡ ପବନରେ ପତ୍ରସବୁ ଖସ୍ଖସ୍ ହୁଏ । ଏଥ୍ ସହିତ ଘଡ଼ଘଡ଼ି ନାଦ କରୁଥ‌ିବା ବାଦଲଖଣ୍ଡଗୁଡ଼ିକ ସେମାନଙ୍କର ବିଶାଳ ହାତରେ ତାଳି ମାରୁଥିବାର ପ୍ରତୀୟମାନ ହୁଏ । ଫୁଲରୂପୀ ପିଲାମାନେ ଗୋଲାପୀ, ହଳଦିଆ ଓ ଧବଳ ରଙ୍ଗର ପୋଷାକ ପରିଧାନ କରି ଶୀଘ୍ର ବାହାରି ଆସନ୍ତି ।

Stanza 4 (Lines 18 to 23)
Do you know, Mother, their home is in the sky,
where the stars are?
Haven’t you seen how eager they are to get there?
Don’t you know why they are in such a hurry?
Of course, I can guess to whom they raise their arms;
they have their mother as I have my own.

Gist: The narrator asks his mother if she knows that the home of these flower children is in the star-studded sky. He asks his mother if she can’t see how eagerly they wish to return to the sky. Certainly, he (the poet or the narrator) can guess that these flower children are raising their arms to their mother living in the sky, their mother as he (the poet) himself does.
ଅନୁବାଦ : କବି ତାଙ୍କ ମା’ଙ୍କୁ ପଚାରିଛନ୍ତି ଯେ ସେ କ’ଣ ଜାଣନ୍ତି ଯେ ଏହି ଫୁଲରୂପୀ ପିଲାମାନଙ୍କର ଘର ହେଉଛି ନକ୍ଷତ୍ର ବା ତାରାଖଚିତ ଆକାଶ । ସେ ପୁନଶ୍ଚ ତାଙ୍କ ମା’ଙ୍କୁ ପ୍ରଶ୍ନ କରିଛନ୍ତି ଯେ ସେ (ତାଙ୍କ ମା’) କ’ଣ ଜାଣିପାରୁ ନାହାନ୍ତି ଏହି ଫୁଲରୂପୀ ପିଲାମାନେ କିଭଳି ଆକାଶକୁ ଫେରିଯିବାକୁ ଏତେ ବ୍ୟଗ୍ର ବା ଉତ୍ସୁକ । ପ୍ରକୃତରେ କବି ଅନୁମାନ କରିପାରୁଛନ୍ତି ଯେ ସେ ଯେପରି ନିଜ ମା’ଙ୍କ ପାଖକୁ ଯିବା ପାଇଁ ନିଜ ହାତ ଦୁଇଟି ବଢ଼ାଇ ଦିଅନ୍ତି, ଠିକ୍ ସେଇଭଳି ଏହି ଫୁଲରୂପୀ ପିଲାମାନେ ଏବେ ଆକାଶରେ ଥ‌ିବା ସେମାନଙ୍କ ମା’ ଆଡ଼କୁ ସେମାନଙ୍କର ହାତ ଉଠାଇ ଦେଇଛନ୍ତି ।

As I read the poem. the background of the poem which is set in a mountain valley and a solitary reaper girl working there comes to my mind. The valley spreads across the mountains. The green lush alley (ସବୁଜିମା ଭରା ଗଳିକନ୍ଦି) looks feasting (ଭୋଜିଭାତ) to the eyes of the on lookers (ନିରୀକ୍ଷଣକାରୀ). In the field of the valley, the sight of the solitary (lonely) reaper comes to the notice of the poet. The lonely girl while cutting and binding the grain is found singing a gloomy (ବିଷାଦମୟ ଗୀତ) song. The girl presents the picture of a fresh inspiring (ପ୍ରେରଣାଦାୟୀ) and enjoyable (ଉପଭୋଗ୍ୟ) commodity (ଦ୍ରବ୍ୟ) in the widespread solitariness (ଏକାକୀପଣ) of the dull (ନିସ୍ତେଜ) railey.

Question 2.
Why do you think Wordsworth has chosen the song of the nightingale and cuckoo for comparison with the solitary reaper’s song?
(ତୁମେ କାହିଁକି ଭାବୁଛ Wordsworth ନିର୍ଜନ ଶସ୍ୟକଟାଳିର ଗୀତ ସହ ତୁଳନା କରିବା ପାଇଁ ବୁଲ୍‌ବୁଲ୍ ଓ କୋଇଲିର ଗୀତକୁ ଚୟନ କରିଛନ୍ତି ?)
Answer:
Obviously (ଅବଶ୍ୟ କବି) the poet William Wordsworth is absolutely (thoroughly – ସମ୍ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ ଭାବରେ) )captivated (ବିମୋହିତ) by the hunting melody (ଶିକାର ମେଲୋଡି) of the reaper’s song though he hasn’t been able to understand the theme. The maiden’s song reminds (ମନେ ପକାଇ ଦେଲା) him of the songs of the nightingale and the cuckoo. The poet’s choosing the song(s) of these two birds stands crystal clear ( ନିର୍ମଳ) to us. The tired travelers of the Arabian deserts listening to the soulful (sweet – ମଧୁର) music of the nightingale and the people getting immense joy (ଅସୀମ ଆନନ୍ଦ) from the note (song) of the cuckoo flowing (ବହିୟାଉଛି କୋକିଲ) from the far-off Hebrides in spring color of the poet’s imagination (କଳ୍ପନା). The songs of the reaper as well as (and) those of the nightingales and the cuckoos though (ଯଦିଓ) unintelligible (not fit to be understood – ବୁଝିବା ଯୋଗ୍ୟ ନୁହେଁ) have the source (ଉତ୍ସ) of perennial joy (ଚିରନ୍ତନ ଆନନ୍ଦ) in the routine dull life (ନିତିଦିନିଆ ନୀରସ ଜୀବନରେ) of human beings.

Question 3.
Whose song is sweeter according to the poet – the nightingale and the cuckoos or the solitary reaper’s? or the solitary reapers?
(କବିଙ୍କ ଅନୁସାରେ |ମତରେ କାହାର ଗୀତ ମଧୁରତର – ବୁଲ୍‌ବୁଲ୍ ବା କୋଇଲିର ବା ନିର୍ଜନ ଶସ୍ୟକଟାଳିର ?)

The solitary reaper was singing a melodious song as she reaped crops in the deep valley of the Scottish Highlands. The poet chanced to see (ଦେଖିବା ପାଇଁ ମନ ବଳାଇଲେ) and hear her. The tone and the tune enchanted (ଟ୍ୟୁନ୍ କବିଙ୍କୁ ମନ୍ତ୍ରମୁଗ୍ଧ କରିଦେଲା) the poet. It held him mesmerized and spellbound. The poet stood motionless and still as he listened to the song.

Answer:
On the Nightingale (ରାତି ଅଧରେ) -As the poet listened to the song of the reaper more and more, the picture of nightingale crosses his mind (ମନକୁ ଆସିଛି). When the travelers are already exhausted (very tired- ଅତି କ୍ଳାନ୍ତ) from the long journey. rest themselves in the cool shades of sorne oasis (ମରୂଦ୍ୟାନର ଶୀତଳ ଛାୟାରେ ବିଶ୍ରାମ ନିଅନ୍ତି )they chance to listen (ହଠାତ୍ ଶୁଣିବାକୁ ପାଆନ୍ତି) to the captivating music (ପୁଲକିତ ସଙ୍ଗୀତ) of the nightingale and they forget the weariness (ଅବସାଦ) of the long travel.

On the Cuckoo (କୁକୁଡା ଉପରେ) -The sweet and soulful music of the reaper’s song continued to echo (ପ୍ରତିଧ୍ଵନିତ ହେବାକୁ ଲାଗିଲା) in the poet’s heart. The cuckoo, the harbinger (announcer – ଘୋଷକ) of spring appeared to tickle (ବସନ୍ତର ଝଙ୍କାର ଉଠିଲା) the poet’s imagination. The bird’s thrilling music overflowed, breaking the silence(ନିସ୍ତବ୍ଧତାକୁ ଭାଙ୍ଗି) of the group of islands that lie to the north-west of Scotland.

Question 3.
Imagine that you are the poet, William Wordsworth. Just after hearing the solitary reaper, you will continue on your walk and reach home. Try to describe your experience to your younger brother and what you saw and felt.
(ମନେକର ତୁମେ ହେଉଛି କବି William Wordsworth । (ନିର୍ଜନ ଶସ୍ୟକଟାଳିର ଗୀତ ଶୁଣିବା ପରେ, ତୁମେ ତୁମର ଚାଲିବା ବଜାୟ ରଖ୍ ଘରେ ପହଞ୍ଚିଯିବ । ତୁମେ ଯାହା ଦେଖୁଲ ଓ ଅନୁଭବ କଲ ସେ ସମ୍ପର୍କରେ ତୁମର ଅନୁଭୂତି ତୁମର ସାନଭାଇ ନିକଟରେ ବର୍ଣ୍ଣନା କର ।)
Answer:
Dear Preeti, just now I was walking in the valley. I saw a solitary reaper working alone in the field. While working he was singing to herself. I was so mesmerized by her singing that I stopped there for a moment and listened to her song. The reaper was singing while cutting and binding the grain. She was singing in a very tragic (ମର୍ମନ୍ତୁଦ) voice. But her voice was extremely melodious (ଅତ୍ୟନ୍ତ ମଧୁର). The more I listened to the song, the more thrill I felt in my mind and heart. Even (ଏପରିକି) the musical notes (ସଙ୍ଗୀତ ସମ୍ବନ୍ଧୀୟ) of the nightingale and the cuckoo appeared to have lacked (ଅଭାବ) the depth (ଗଭୀରତା) of feeling. As I climbed up the hill and stood motionless, the reaper’s song made me spellbound (ମୋତେ ଅପାର ଆନନ୍ଦରେ ଅଭିଭୂତ କରିଦେଲା). The song continues to trasport (ଚିରନ୍ତନ ଆନନ୍ଦର ଆବେଗକୁ ମୋତେ କ୍ରମାଗତ ଦେଇଯାଉଛି) bliss (ଅନାବିଳ ଆନନ୍ଦ).

The Solitary Reaper Summary in English

Lead-In:
In the present poem, Wordsworth recalls (ୱାର୍ଡସୱର୍ଥ ସ୍ମରଣ କରେ) an experience (ଏକ ଅଭିଜ୍ଞତା)that had created a lasting impression (ଯାହା ଏକ ସ୍ଥାୟୀ ଭାବନା ସୃଷ୍ଟି କରିଥିଲା ​​|) upon his mind. The poet’s depicting (ଚିତ୍ରଣ) a solitary Highland Lass (ଏକ ନିର୍ଜନ ଉଚ୍ଚଭୂମି ଲାସ୍) and the effect (ପ୍ରଭାବ) of her sweet song on him forms the crux (major subject — ମୁଖ୍ୟ ବିଷୟ) of the poem.

Stanzawise Explanation:
Stanza 1 (Lines 1 to 4)
Behold her single in the field.
Yon solitary Highland Lass!
Reaping and singing by herself;
Stop here, or gently pass!
Gist: In the first stanza, the poet urges (calls) the by-passers to behold (to see) the solitary Highland Lass (maiden) who while reaping the corns is singing by herself (alone). The poet appeals to them (the by-passers) to stop near the girl or cross the path slowly.
ସାରାଂଶ : କବିତାର ପ୍ରଥମ ପତ୍‌ତ୍ତିରେ କବି ନିକଟରେ ଯାତାୟାତ କରୁଥିବା ପଥଚାରୀମାନଙ୍କୁ ଉଚ୍ଚ ପର୍ବତଶ୍ରେଣୀରେ ଶସ୍ୟ କାଟୁଥ‌ିବା ଓ ମନକୁ ମନ ଗୀତ ଗାଉଥିବା ଏକ ଝିଅକୁ ଲକ୍ଷ୍ୟ କରିବାପାଇଁ ଆଗ୍ରହ ପ୍ରକାଶ କରିଛନ୍ତି । ଝିଅଟି ପାଖରେ ଅଟକିଯିବା ପାଇଁ ବା ଧୀରେ ଧୀରେ ରାସ୍ତାକୁ ଅତିକ୍ରମ କରିବାପାଇଁ ସେ (କବି) ପଥଚାରୀମାନଙ୍କୁ ନିବେଦନ କରିଛନ୍ତି ।

Stanza 2 (Lines 5 to 8)
Alone she cuts and binds the grain,
And sings a melancholy strain;
O listen! for the Vale, profound Is overflowing with sound.
Gist: The girl or the maiden is found cutting and binding the grain. While doing so, she keeps on singing a sad number (song). The poet calls upon (urges) the passers-by to listen to that melodious song. The sprawling (widespread) valley of the mountain region is overflowed with the sweetness of the song.
ସାରାଂଶ : ଉଚ୍ଚ ପର୍ବତାଞ୍ଚଳରେ କୁମାରୀ ବା ଝିଅଟି ଶସ୍ୟ କାଟି ବିଡ଼ା ବାନ୍ଧୁଥ‌ିବାର ଦେଖାଯାଉଛି । ଏହା କରୁଥିଲାବେଳେ ସେ ଏକ ଦୁଃଖ ବା ବିଷାଦଭରା ଗୀତ ଗାଇ ଚାଲିଛି । ସେହି ମଧୁର ଗୀତକୁ ଶୁଣିବା ନିମିତ୍ତ ସେ (କବି) ପଥଚାରୀମାନଙ୍କୁ ଆହ୍ବାନ ଦେଇଛନ୍ତି । ଝିଅର ଗୀତ ସମ୍ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ ପର୍ବଶ୍ରେଣୀର ବିସ୍ତୃତ ଉପତ୍ୟକାକୁ ବିମୋହିତ କରିଦେଇଛି ।

Stanza 3 (Lines 9 to 12)
No Nightingale did ever chaunt.
More welcome notes to weary bands
Of travelers in some shady haunt,
Among Arabian sands;
Gist: As the poet says, the hunting melody of the reaper’s song easily surpassed the music of Nightingale, which captivates the band of tired travelers taking a rest in some oasis in the Arabian desert.
ସାରାଂଶ : କବିଙ୍କ କହିବା ଅନୁସାରେ ନିର୍ଜନ ଶସ୍ୟକଟାଳିର ମଧୁର ମର୍ମସ୍ପର୍ଶୀ ଗୀତ ସହଜରେ ନାଇଟିଙ୍ଗଲ୍ ବା ବୁଲ୍‌ବୁଲ୍ ପକ୍ଷୀର ସଙ୍ଗୀତକୁ ଟପିଯାଇଥିଲା, ଯାହା ଆରବ ମରୁଭୂମିର ମରୂଦ୍ୟାନରେ ବିଶ୍ରାମରତ କ୍ଳାନ୍ତ ପଥକଗୋଷ୍ଠୀକୁ ବିମୋହିତ କରିଥାଏ ।

Stanza 4 (Lines 13 to 16)
A voice so thrilling ne ’er was heard
In springtime from the Cuckoo-bird
Breaking the silence of the seas
Among the farthest Hebrides.
Gist: The melodious voice of the solitary reaper was so appealing. Even the cuckoo’s song in spring lacks the intensity of thrill. The reaper’s breathtaking (very sweet) voice seemed to have broken the silence of the cluster (group) of islands off the north Atlantic coast of Scotland.
ସାରାଂଶ : ନିର୍ଜନ ଶସ୍ୟକଟାଳିର ମଧୁର ସ୍ଵର ଅତ୍ୟନ୍ତ ମୁଗ୍‌ଧକାରୀ ଥିଲା । ଏପରିକି ବସନ୍ତରେ କୋଇଲିର କୁହୁତାନରେ ଏଭଳି ରୋମାଞ୍ଚକର ତୀବ୍ରତା ନ ଥାଏ । ନିର୍ଜନ ଶସ୍ୟକଟାଳିର ମାଦକଭରା ସ୍ଵର ସ୍କଟ୍‌ଲାଣ୍ଡର ସୁଦୂର ଉତ୍ତର ଆଟଲାଣ୍ଟିକ୍ କୂଳରେ ଅବସ୍ଥିତ ଦ୍ଵୀପପୁଞ୍ଜର ନୀରବତାକୁ ଭଙ୍ଗ କରୁଥିବାର ପ୍ରତୀୟମାନ ହେଉଛି ।

Stanza 5 (Lines 17 to 20)
Will no one tell me what she sings?-
Perhaps the plaintive numbers flow
For old, unhappy, far-off things,
And battles long ago;
Gist: The poet fails to understand the theme of the song. Perhaps sad songs arising out of old, unhappy things of the past or very ancient battles could have formed the theme of the reaper’s song.
ସାରାଂଶ : ନିର୍ଜନ ଶସ୍ୟକଟାଳିର ବିଷାଦଭରା ଓ ହୃଦୟସ୍ପର୍ଶୀ ଗୀତର ସାରକଥା ବୁଝିବାରେ କବି ଅସଫଳ ହୋଇଛନ୍ତି । ବୋଧହୁଏ ଅତୀତର କୌଣସି ଦୁଃଖଦାୟକ ଘଟଣା ବା ସଙ୍ଘଟିତ ଯୁଦ୍ଧ ଝିଅଟିର ଗୀତର ସାରକଥା ହୋଇଥାଇପାରେ ବୋଲି ସେ ମନେ କରୁଛନ୍ତି ।

Stanza 6 (Lines 21 to 24)
Or is it some more humble lay,
Familiar matter of today?
Some natural sorrow, loss, or pain,
That has been, and maybe again?
Gist: The theme of the song could be the song of the everyday stories of life or the usual things of the day. Maybe matters of natural sorrow or loss or pain had produced the gist or theme of the song.
ସାରାଂଶ : ଗୀତର ସାରମର୍ମ ହୁଏତ ସବୁଦିନିଆ ଜୀବନ କାହାଣୀର ଗୀତ ବା ସାଧାରଣ ଘଟଣାବଳୀର ସନ୍ଦେଶ ହୋଇପାରେ । ଲାଗୁଥିଲା ସ୍ଵାଭାବିକ ଦୁଃଖ ବା କ୍ଷତି ବା ଯନ୍ତ୍ରଣା ଗୀତର ମାର୍ମିକ ଭାବ ହୋଇଥାଇପାରେ ।

Stanza 7 (Lines 25 to 28)
Whate ’er the theme, the Maiden sang
As if her song could have no ending;
I saw her singing at her work,
And o ’er the sickle bending; –
Gist: The theme of the song may be diverse (different). But the maiden’s (reaper’s) song seemed to have no end. The poet beheld (saw) the girl singing at her work bending low with a sickle (billhook) in her hand.
ସାରାଂଶ : ଗୀତର ସାରମର୍ମ ଭିନ୍ନ ଭିନ୍ନ ହୋଇପାରେ, କିନ୍ତୁ କୁମାରୀର (ଅବିବାହିତ ଶସ୍ୟକଟାଳିର) ଗୀତର ଅନ୍ତ ନ ଥ‌ିବାର ଜଣାପଡୁଥିଲା । ଝିଅଟି ହାତରେ ଦାଆ ଧରି ନଇଁପଡ଼ି ଶସ୍ୟ କାଟିବାରେ ବ୍ୟସ୍ତ ଥ‌ିବାର କବି ଦେଖ‌ିଲେ ।

Stanza 8 (Lines 29 to 32)
I listen ’d, motionless and still;
And, as I mounted up the hill,
The music in my heart I bore,
Long after it was heard no more.
Gist: The poet continued to listen to the song quietly and attentively as he climbed up the hill. Though several (many) days have passed, the musical song of the girl still continues to throb in his heart.
ସାରାଂଶ : ପାହାଡ଼ ଚଢ଼ୁଥିଲାବେଳେ କବି ଲଗାତର ଭାବେ ଶସ୍ୟକଟାଳିର ଗୀତକୁ ନୀରବ ଓ ଏକାଗ୍ର ଚିତ୍ତରେ ଶୁଣୁଥିଲେ । ଯଦିଓ ସେ ଏହି ଗୀତ ଶୁଣିବାର ଅନେକ ଦିନ ବିତିଯାଇଛି, ତଥାପି ଝିଅର ସଙ୍ଗୀତଭରା ଗୀତ ତାଙ୍କ ହୃଦୟକୁ ଏବେ ବି ପୁଲକିତ କରୁଛି ।

About The Poet:
William Wordsworth was born on 7th April 1770, in Cockermouth in the Lake District, England. He is regarded (ତାଙ୍କୁ ସମ୍ମାନିତ କରାଯାଏ) as a worshipper (ଉପାସକ) of nature.

Question 9.
What did the postmaster do?
(ପୋଷ୍ଟମାଷ୍ଟର କ’ଣ କଲେ ?)
Answer:
The postmaster thought of writing a letter in order not to shake Lencho’s faith in God. But after opening the letter he knew that Lencho asked for hundred pesos from God. So he collected some money from his employees and several friends and contributed a part of his salary. Then he sent the money in an envelope addressed to Lencho. He was able to send only a little more than half.

But he became angry while he counted the money because he got seventy pesos only whereas he asked for 100 pesos. He knew it well that neither God could have made a mistake nor could have denied what he had asked for. He began to suspect the integrity of the post office employees. In his next letter, he requested God to send him the rest money not through mail as the post office employees were a bunch of crooks.

F. Let’s Read Between The Lines:

(a)
(i) Why did Lencho keep on looking at the sky throughout the morning?
(ଲେଞ୍ଜୋ କାହିଁକି ସାରା ସକାଳ ଆକାଶକୁ ଚାହିଁ ରହିଥିଲା ?)
Answer:
There was no rain for some days and the earth needed a downpour or at least a shower for a good harvest. So Lencho kept on looking towards the northeast sky and waited for rain throughout the morning and waited for rain.

(ii) Why was the field white after the storm?
(ଝଡ଼ ପରେ କ୍ଷେତ କାହିଁକି ଧଳା ହୋଇଗଲା ?)
Answer:
Due to a hailstorm for an hour, large hailstones fell on the field along with rain. So after the storm, the field was white as if it was covered with salt.

(iii) Why did Lencho say the raindrops were like ‘new coins’?
(ଲେଞ୍ଜୋ କାହିଁକି ବର୍ଷାବିନ୍ଦୁଗୁଡ଼ିକ ନୂଆ ମୁଦ୍ରା ଭଳି ବୋଲି କହିଥିଲା ?)
Answer:
Just as Lencho predicted big raindrops began to fall from the sky. Seeing it Lencho became extremely happy having a hope of a good harvest. So he. said the raindrops were as valuable as new silver coins.

(iv) Why did Lencho prefer locusts to the storm?
(ଲେଞ୍ଜୋ କାହିଁକି ଝଡ଼ ଅପେକ୍ଷା ପଙ୍ଗପାଳଙ୍କୁ ପସନ୍ଦ କରିଥିଲା ?)
Answer:
The crops of Lencho were completely destroyed by hailstorms. He thought that his family would go without food that year. He knew that a plague of locusts would have left more than that. The hail had left nothing. So he preferred locusts to the storm.

(v) Did Lencho try to find out who had sent the money to him? Why/Why not?
(କିଏ ତା’ ପାଖକୁ ଟଙ୍କା ପଠାଇଥିଲା ଜାଣିବାକୁ ଲେଞ୍ଜୋ ଚେଷ୍ଟ କଲା କି ? କାହିଁକି କାହିଁକି ନୁହେଁ ?)
Answer:
Lencho didn’t try to find out who had sent the money to him. It was because he had firm faith in God and thought that God had listened to his prayer and had sent him the money.

(vi) What would be the reaction of the post office employees when they read the second letter.
Answer:
When the post office employees read the second letter, the postmaster showed his curiosity to read the letter as what Lencho had written.

All through the night _______________________ act of charity.
(Five paragraphs)

(i) Who does Lencho have complete faith in?

Answer:
Lencho has complete faith in God.

(ii) ‘Lencho was an ox of a man’ – What does the line mean?
(‘ଲେ ବଳଦ ଭଳି ମଣିଷଟିଏ ଥିଲା’ – ଏହି ଧାଡ଼ିଟି କ’ଣ ବୁଝାଉଛି ? )
Answer:

He managed to send him seventy pesos to let him overcome his loss of crops.

(v) What does the expression ‘an act of charity’ mean?

G. Let’s Learn Some New Words:

(i) Look at the following sentence from the story.
(ଗଳ୍ପର ନିମ୍ନଲିଖତ ବାକ୍ୟଟିକୁ ଦେଖ ।)
But suddenly a strong wind began to blow and along with the rain very large hailstones began to fall.

• What are hailstones?
  (କୁଆପଥର କ’ଣ ?)
  ‘Hailstones’ are small balls of ice that fall like rain.(‘କୁଆପଥର’ ହେଉଛି ବରଫର ଛୋଟ ବରଫପେଣ୍ଡୁ ଯାହା ବର୍ଷାପରି ପଡ଼େ ।)
• What is a hailstorm?
  (କୁଆପଥର ଝଡ଼ କ’ଣ ?)
  A storm in which hailstones fall is a ‘hailstorm’. We know that a storm is bad weather with strong winds, rain, thunder and lightning. (ଯେଉଁ ଝଡ଼ରେ କୁଆପଥର ପଡ଼େ ତାହା ହେଉଛି ‘କୁଆପଥର ଝଡ଼’ । ଆମେ ଜାଣୁ ଯେ ଝଡ଼ ହେଉଛି ଏକ ଖରାପ ପାଗ ଯେଉଁଥରେ ପ୍ରବଳ ପବନ ଓ ବର୍ଷା ସାଙ୍ଗକୁ ଘଡ଼ଘଡ଼ି ଓ ବିଜୁଳି ମାରୁଥାଏ ।)

ii) Mark how the word ‘hope’ is used in these sentences from the story.

(a) I hope it (the hailstorm) passes quickly. (ମୁଁ ଆଶା କରୁଛି ଏହା (କୁଆପଥର) ଶୀଘ୍ର ଅତିକ୍ରମ କରିବ |)
(b) There was a single hope : help from God. (ଏକମାତ୍ର ଆଶା ଥିଲା – ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କଠାରୁ ସାହାଯ୍ୟ)

In sentence ‘a’, hope is used as a verb which means you wish for something to happen. (ବାକ୍ୟ ‘a’ରେ ‘hope’ ଏକ verb(କ୍ରିୟା)ରୂପେ ବ୍ୟବହୃତ ହୋଇଛି ଯାହାର ଅର୍ଥ ତୁମେ କିଛି ଘଟିବ ବୋଲି ଆଶା କରୁଛ ।)
In sentence ‘b’ it is a noun meaning a chance for something to happen. (ବାକ୍ୟ ‘b’ରେ ଏହା ଏକ ବିଶେଷ୍ୟ ଅଟେ ଯାହାର ଅର୍ଥ କିଛି ଘଟିବାର ଏକ ସମ୍ଭାବନାକୁ ବୁଝାଉଛି ।)

I. Lets Learn Language:

(i) Relative Clauses (Adjective Clause) (ବିଶେଷଣ ଖଣ୍ଡବାକ୍ୟ):
Look at the following sentence : (ନିମ୍ନଲିଖ୍ ବାକ୍ୟଟିକୁ ଦେଖ )

Throughout the morning Lencho – who knew his fields intimately (ଯିଏ ନିଜ କ୍ଷେତଗୁଡ଼ିକୁ ଭଲ ଭାବରେ ଜାଣିଥିଲା) looked at the sky.
This sentence may also be written as: (ଏହି ବାକ୍ୟଟିକୁ ଏପରି ମଧ୍ୟ ଲେଖାଯାଇପାରେ )
All morning Lencho, who knew his fields intimately, looked at the sky.
The underlined parts of the sentences provide us with more information about Lencho and the woman. We call it a Relative Clause. Mark that they begin with a relative pronoun, who. Other common relative pronouns are whom, which, that, and whose.
(ରେଖାଙ୍କିତ ଅଂଶଟି ଆମକୁ ଲେଞ୍ଜୋ ବିଷୟରେ ଅଧ‌ିକ ସୂଚନା ପ୍ରଦାନ କରୁଛି । ଏହାକୁ ଆମେ “Relative clause” (ବିଶେଷଣ ଉପବାକ୍ୟ) କହୁ । ଏହା ଏକ ସର୍ବନାମ whoରେ ଆରମ୍ଭ ହୋଇଥିବା ଲକ୍ଷ୍ୟ କର । who, whom, which, that, whose ଇତ୍ୟାଦି ଅନ୍ୟାନ୍ୟ Relative Pronoun ଅଟନ୍ତି ।)

The relative clause in the above sentence is called a non-defining relative clause because we already know the identity of the person described. We don’t need the information in the relative clause to pick the person out of a larger set. (ଉପରିଲିଖ୍ ବାକ୍ୟରେ ଥ‌ିବା Relative clauseକୁ non-defining Relative clause କୁହାଯାଏ କାରଣ ଆମେ ବର୍ଣ୍ଣନା କରାଯାଇଥିବା ଲୋକଟିର ପରିଚୟ ବିଷୟରେ ପୂର୍ବରୁ ଜାଣିସାରିଛୁ । ଏକ ବୃହତ୍ ପରିସରରୁ ସେ ବ୍ୟକ୍ତିକୁ ଜାଣିବା ପାଇଁ relative clauseରେ ଥ‌ିବା ସୂଚନା ଆମର ଆବଶ୍ୟକ ନାହିଁ ।)

A.NON-DEFINING RELATIVE CLAUSE
Non-defining Relative Clause usually has a comma preceding and following it. Some writers use a dash (-) instead (as in the story). If the relative clause comes at the end, we just put a full stop. Non-defining Relative clause 1 666 comma (,) ବିରାମ ଚିହ୍ନଟି ରହେ । କିଛି ଲେଖକ comma ପରିବର୍ତ୍ତେ dash (–) ଚିହ୍ନ ବ୍ୟବହାର କରିଥା’ନ୍ତି, ଯେପରିକି ଉକ୍ତ ଗଳ୍ପଟିରେ ଲେଖକ ବ୍ୟବହାର କରିଛନ୍ତି । ଯଦି Relative clauseଟି ଶେଷରେ ରହେ ତେବେ ଆମେ ଏକ full stop (ପୂର୍ଷଚ୍ଛେଦ) ଦେଇଥାଉ ।)

A Non-defining Relative clause does not identify its antecedent (noun phrase used before the relative pronoun). (ଯଥା – whose, whom, what, when ଇତ୍ୟାଦିର ଠିକ୍ ପୂର୍ବରୁ 4 noun phrase antecedentକୁ ଚିହ୍ନଟ କରେ ନାହିଁ ।)
It (NDRC) only gives extra or additional information about its antecedent. (NDRC କେବଳ ନିଜର antecedent ବିଷୟରେ ଅତିରିକ୍ତ ସୂଚନା ଦେଇଥାଏ ।)

A clause (ଏକ ଧାରା |) is either a simple sentence or a part of a bigger sentence having subject and predicate. (ଗୋଟିଏ ଖଣ୍ଡବାକ୍ୟ ହୁଏତ ଗୋଟିଏ ସରଳବାକ୍ୟ ବା ଏକ ବୃହତ୍ ବାକ୍ୟର ଏକ ଅଂଶ)

Join the pairs of sentences given below using a relative pronoun.(ନିମ୍ନରେ ପ୍ରଦତ୍ତ ବାକ୍ୟ ଯୁଗ୍ମକୁ Relative pronoun ବ୍ୟବହାର କରି ସଂଯୋଗ କର ।)

1. My mother is going to host a T.V. show on cooking.
   She cooks very well.
2. Our institution is highly popular.
   It works for public welfare.
3. Satish scored a goal at the last minute.
   He was fortunate.
4. Mother Teresa is revered as a saint.
   She served mankind.
5. I often go to Mumbai.
   Mumbai is the commercial capital of India.
6. These sportspersons are going to meet the President.
   Their performance has been excellent.

Answer:

1. My mother, who cooks very well, is going to host ( ଉପସ୍ଥାପନ କରିବେ ) a T.V. show on cooking.
2. Our institution, which works for public welfare (ଯାହା ଜନ କଲ୍ୟାଣ ପାଇଁ କାର୍ଯ୍ୟ କରେ |), is highly popular.
3. Satish, who was fortunate (ଭାଗ୍ୟବାନ ), scored a goal in the last minute.
4. Mother Teresa, who served mankind (ମାନବଜାତିର ସେବା କରିଥିଲେ), is revered as a saint.
5. I often go to Mumbai, which is the commercial (ବ୍ୟବସାୟିକ )capital of India.
6. These sports-persons, whose performance has been excellent (କାର୍ଯ୍ୟଦକ୍ଷତା), are going to meet the President.

Sometimes the relative pronoun in a relative clause remains ‘hidden’. For example, look at the first sentence of the story.(ବେଳେବେଳେ Relative clauseରେ Relative pronoun ଲୁକ୍‌କାୟିତ (hidden) ରହେ । ଉଦାହରଣସ୍ୱରୂପ, ଗଳ୍ପର ପ୍ରଥମ ବାକ୍ୟଟିକୁ ଦେଖ ।)

a) The house — the only one in the entire valley — sat on the Crest of a low hill.
We can rewrite the sentence as (without any change in the meaning)
(ଏହି ବାକ୍ୟର କୌଣସି ଅର୍ଥ ପରିବର୍ତ୍ତନ ନ କରି ଆମେ ଏପରି ଲେଖିପାରିବା )
The house—which was the only one in the entire valley—sat on the crest of a low hill.
In the original sentence of the text (a) the relative pronoun ‘which’ and the verb ‘was’ are not present (hidden). ପାଠ୍ୟରେ ଥ‌ିବା ମୂଳବାକ୍ୟ (a)66 Relative pronoun ‘which’ କ୍ରିୟା ‘was’ ଉପସ୍ଥିତ ନାହିଁ (ଲୁକ୍‌କାୟିତ ଅଛି) ।)

(ii) Using negatives (ନାସ୍ତିବାଚକ) for emphasis (ଗୁରୁତ୍ଵ ପ୍ରଦାନ) :
We know that sentences with words such as ‘no’, ‘not’, or ‘nothing’ show the absence of something, or contradict something. (ଆମେ ଜାଣୁ ଯେ ‘no’, ‘not’ ବା ‘nothing’ ଭଳି ଶବ୍ଦଗୁଡ଼ିକ ଥ‌ିବା ବାକ୍ୟଗୁଡ଼ିକ କୌଣସି ଜିନିଷର ଅନୁପସ୍ଥିତି ବା ବିରୋଧ କରୁଥ‌ିବା ବିଷୟରେ ସୂଚାଏ ।)
For example — (From the text) (ପାଠ୍ୟବିଷୟରୁ ଉଦାହରଣସ୍ୱରୂପ )

• This year we will have no corn. (The crops have failed.) (ଫସଲ ହେବ ନାହିଁ)
• (b) The hail has left nothing. (Absence of a crop) (ଶସ୍ୟ ନ ଥ‌ିବା ଅର୍ଥରେ)
• (c) These aren’t raindrops falling from the sky, they are new coins.
  (Contradicts the common idea of what the drops of water falling from the sky are.) (ଆକାଶକୁ ସାଧାରଣତଃ ବର୍ଷାବିନ୍ଦୁ ପଡ଼ିବାର ବିପରୀତ ଅର୍ଥରେ )
  But sometimes negative words are used to emphasize an idea. Look at the sentences from story :
  (କିନ୍ତୁ ବେଳେବେଳେ ନାସ୍ତିସୂଚକ ଶବ୍ଦସମୂହ କୌଣସି ଧାରଣାକୁ ଗୁରୁତ୍ୱ ଦେବାକୁ ବ୍ୟବହୃତ ହୋଇଥାଏ । ଗଳ୍ପର ଏହି ବାକ୍ୟଗୁଡ଼ିକୁ ଦେଖ )
• (d) Lencho …. had donc nothing else but see the sky towards the north-east. (He had done only this.) (ସେ କେବଳ ଏହା କରିଥିଲା)
• (e) The man went out for no other reason than to have the pleasure of feeling the rain on his body. (He had only this reason.) (ତା’ ପାଖରେ କେବଳ ଏହି କାରଣ ଥିଲା)
• (f) Lencho showed not the slightest suprise on seeing the money. (He showed no surprise at all.) (ସେ ଆଦୌ ଆଶ୍ଚର୍ଯ୍ୟର ଭାବନା ଦେଖାଇଲା ନାହିଁ )

Now look back at the example ‘c’. Mark that the contradiction in fact serves to emphasize the value or usefulness of the rain to the farmer.
(ଏବେ ଉଦାହରଣ ‘c’କୁ ଦେଖ । ଲକ୍ଷ୍ୟକର ଯେ ତଥ୍ୟର ବିରୁଦ୍ଧତା କୃଷକ ନିମନ୍ତେ ବର୍ଷାର ଆବଶ୍ୟକତା ଉପରେ ଗୁରୁତ୍ଵ ଦେବାରେ ସହାୟକ ହୋଇଛି ।)
Find sentences in the story with negative words, which express the following ideas emphatically : (ନାସ୍ତିସୂଚକ ଶବ୍ଦଥ‌ିବା ବାକ୍ୟଗୁଡ଼ିକ ଗଳ୍ପରୁ ବାଛ ଯାହାକି ନିମ୍ନୋକ୍ତ ଧାରଣାକୁ ଦୃଢ଼ଭାବେ ପ୍ରକାଶ କରୁଥ‌ିବ ।)

(1) The trees lost all their Leaves.
(2) The letter was addressed to God himself.
(3) The postman saw this address for the first time in his life.
Answer:
(1) Not a leaf (ପତ୍ର) remained on the trees.
(2) It was nothing less than a letter to God.
(3) Never in his career as a postman had he known that address.

Question 1.
Who was Lencho? What was he like?
Answer:
Lencho was a farmer who lived with his family in a solitary house on the top of a low hill. He was very poor and innocent. He was very hardworking. He knew his fields well and worked there like an animal. No doubt he was literate and he was able to read and write. Besides he had firm faith in God.

Why did Lencho keep on looking at the sky throughout the morning?
Answer:
Lencho was a poor farmer who knew his com fields closely. He could see his fields of ripe com full of flowers that always promised a good harvest.

(Or)
What was the effect of the hailstorm on Lencho’s cornfield?

The hail rained in the valley for an hour which snatched away all his happiness.

Question 7.
Why did Lencho prefer locusts to the storm?
Answer:
Locusts are a kind of insects that eat crops and vegetables. They fly in large numbers and eat up some crops and then leave the fields.

(Or)

Question 13.
What did Lencho write to God in his last letter?
Answer:
In his last letter Lencho wrote to God that of the money that he asked for, only seventy pesos reached him. He requested God to send him the rest amount since he needed it very much. He also asked Him to send it to him not through the mail as the post office employees were a bunch of crooks.

Question 14.

(Or)
What was Lencho’s reaction to the reply to his letter?
Answer:
Lencho’s expectation of getting a reply from God came true when he received the letter from the postman. He was not at all surprised to see it as he had firm faith in God. He confidently opened it and counted the money. Soon he got angry as it was less than a hundred pesos. He never suspected God rather he suspected the integrity of the employees of the post office.

Question 15.
What would have been the reaction of the postal employees if they had read Lencho’s second letter?
Answer:
Lencho’s second letter to God contained a statement of his dissatisfaction with the postal employees. The second letter written by Lencho was the accusation of cheating on the money from the parcel by them. If they had read the second letter sent by Lencho, they would have strongly blamed him and would have considered him ungrateful.

Question 16.
Why did the postmaster send money to Lencho?
Answer:
The postmaster was an amiable person, who praised Lencho for his deep faith in God. He decided to answer the letter. He went through the letter and found that his family would go hungry that year and needed a hundred pesos in order to sow his fields again. When he knew that it needed not merely goodwill, but financial help, he gave a part of his salary and collected money from several of his employees and some more money from his friends as an act of charity.

Question 17.
Why did Lencho’s field look white after the storm?
Answer:
Suddenly a strong wind began to blow along with a heavy shower of rain. Soon very large hailstones began falling from the sky. The rain continued for an hour. Unfortunately, the strong wind turned into a hailstorm. The hailstones rained for an hour and fell on Lencho’s house, the garden, the hillside, the corn field, and the entire valley. So his cornfield became full of hailstones and looked white as if it was covered with salt.

Question 18.
Why did Lencho call the post office employees a bunch of crooks’?
Answer:
Lencho was very sure that God could neither make a mistake nor deny him what he had asked for. His confidence in God was so deep that he expected to get a hundred pesos positively. When he received the letter from God, he eagerly counted the money. He found that there were only seventy pesos in the envelope. He suspected that the post office employees were dishonest persons, who must have taken the remaining part of the money. For this reason, he called the post office employees a bunch of crooks.

Question 19.
How does the writer describe two kinds of conflicts in the story ‘A Letter to God’?
Answer:
There are two kinds of conflict described in the story. Firstly Lencho’s com field was destroyed by a hailstorm and thereby Lencho became helpless. It is the conflict between Nature and man. Even though the postmaster and other employees collected money and managed to send seventy pesos to Lencho, as an act of kindness, Lencho blamed them for taking away a part of his money. This statement reflects that Lencho didn’t have faith in man. So it is the conflict between man and man.

A letter to God Summary in English

Lead-In:
It is believed that faith can move mountains. People live in faith. Particularly people have faith in God. People endure misfortunes because of their faith for the commencement of a better time. Faith keeps us alive and makes us optimistic. Here, in the present context, Lencho is a farmer who has firm faith in God. He writes a letter to God during his distress and asks for some financial assistance. Though it doesn’t reach its destination, still the poor farmer gets a part of his request. He couldn’t disbelieve it.

Paragraph-wise Explanation:
Para: The house-the only one in the entire valley – sat on the crest of a low hill. From this height, one would see the river and the field of ripe corn dotted with the flowers that always promised a good harvest. The only thing the earth needed was a downpour or at least a shower. Throughout the morning Lencho – who knew his fields intimately- had done nothing else but see the sky towards the northeast.
ଅନୁବାଦ : ସମଗ୍ର ଉପତ୍ୟକାରେ ଥ‌ିବା ଏକମାତ୍ର ଘରଟି ଗୋଟିଏ ନିମ୍ନ ପାହାଡ଼ର ଉପରିଭାଗରେ ଥିଲା । ଏହି ଉଚ୍ଚତାରୁ ଯେ କେହି ନଦୀ ଏବଂ ବିସ୍ତୀର୍ଣ୍ଣ ଅଞ୍ଚଳ ପରିବ୍ୟାପ୍ତ ଫୁଲ ଉଡ଼ାଉଥ‌ିବା ପାଚିଲା ଶସ୍ୟକ୍ଷେତ୍ର ଦେଖପାରିବ ଯାହାକି ସବୁବେଳେ ଭଲ ଫସଲ ଅମଳ ଦେବାର ଆଶା ସଞ୍ଚାର ଅସରାଏ କେବଳ ପୃଥ‌ିବୀ ମୂଷଳ ଧାରାରେ ବୃଷ୍ଟି କିମ୍ବା ଅତି ଭାବରେ ଜାଣିଥୁଲା ବର୍ଷା ଦରକାର କରୁଥିଲା । ଲେଞ୍ଚେ ଯିଏକି ତା’ର କ୍ଷେତକୁ ଭଲ କମ୍‌ରେ କରାଇଥାଏ । ସାରା ସକାଳ କେବଳ ଉତ୍ତର-ପୂର୍ବ ଆକାଶକୁ ଚାହିଁବା ବ୍ୟତୀତ ଅନ୍ୟ କିଛି ହିଁ କରି ନଥିଲା ।

Para: “Now we’re really going to get some water, woman. ” The woman who was preparing supper, replied, “Yes, God willing “. The older boys were working in the field, while the smaller ones were playing near the house until the woman called to them all, “Come for dinner”. It was during the meal that, just as Lencho had predicted, big drops of rain began to fall. In the northeast, huge mountains of clouds could be seen approaching. The air was fresh and sweet. The man went out for no other reason than to have the pleasure of feeling the rain on his body, and when he returned he exclaimed, “These aren’t raindrops falling from the sky, they are new coins. The big drops are ten cent pieces and the little ones are fives.”
ଅନୁବାଦ : ‘‘ହେ ନାରୀ, ଏବେ ବାସ୍ତବରେ ଆମେ କିଛି ପାଣି ପାଇବାକୁ ଯାଉଛେ !’’ ଯେଉଁ ସ୍ତ୍ରୀଲୋକଟି ସନ୍ଧ୍ୟାକାଳୀନ ଖାଦ୍ୟ ପ୍ରସ୍ତୁତ କରୁଥିଲେ ସେ ଉତ୍ତର ଦେଲେ, ‘ହଁ, ଈଶ୍ୱରଙ୍କ ଇଚ୍ଛା ।’’ ବୟସ୍କ ବାଳକମାନେ କ୍ଷେତ୍ରରେ କାମ କରୁଥିଲେ, ଯେତେବେଳେ କି ସାନ ସାନ ପିଲାମାନେ ଘର ପାଖରେ ଖେଳୁଥିଲେ । ସ୍ତ୍ରୀଲୋକଟି ସମସ୍ତଙ୍କୁ ‘ଖାଇବ ଆସ’ ବୋଲି ଡାକିଲେ । ଠିକ୍ ଯେପରି ଲେ ଭବିଷ୍ୟବାଣୀ କରିଥିଲା, ଖାଇବା ଚାଲିଥିବା ସମୟରେ ସେହିପରି ବଡ଼ ବଡ଼ ବର୍ଷା ବିନ୍ଦୁମାନ ପଢ଼ିବା ଆରମ୍ଭ କରିଦେଲା । ଉତ୍ତର-ପୂର୍ବାକାଶରେ ବିରାଟ ପର୍ବତ ଆକାରର ବାଦଲ ଖଣ୍ଡମାନ ମାଡ଼ି ଆସୁଥିବାର ଦେଖାଯାଉଥିଲା । ପବନ ଖୁବ୍ ସତେଜ ଓ ଆନନ୍ଦଦାୟକ ଥିଲା । ଲୋକଟି ଅନ୍ୟ କୌଣସି କାରଣ ପାଇଁ ନୁହେଁ, କେବଳ ତା’ ଶରୀରରେ ବର୍ଷା ସ୍ପର୍ଶର ଆନନ୍ଦ ଉପଭୋଗ କରିବାକୁ ବାହାରକୁ ଚାଲିଗଲା ଏବଂ ଫେରିବା ସମୟରେ ଆବେଗରେ କହି ପକାଇଲା, ‘‘ଆକାଶରୁ ଝରି ପଡୁଥ‌ିବା ଏଗୁଡ଼ିକ ବର୍ଷାବିନ୍ଦୁ ନୁହେଁ, ସେଗୁଡ଼ିକ ନୂତନ ମୁଦ୍ରା । ବଡ଼ ବଡ଼ ବର୍ଷାବିନ୍ଦୁଗୁଡ଼ିକ ଦଶ ସେଣ୍ଟ୍ ମୁଦ୍ରା (ଆମେରିକୀୟ ମୁଦ୍ରା) ଏବଂ ଛୋଟ ବର୍ଷାବିନ୍ଦୁଗୁଡ଼ିକ ପାଞ୍ଚ ସେଣ୍ଟ୍ ମୁଦ୍ରା ସଦୃଶ ।’’

Para: With a satisfied expression he regarded the field of ripe corn with its flower, draped in a curtain of rain. But suddenly a strong wind began to blow and along with the rain very large hailstones began to fall. These truly did resemble new silver coins. The boys, exposing themselves to the rain, ran out to collect the frozen pearls.
ଅନୁବାଦ : ସନ୍ତୋଷଜନକ ଅଭିବ୍ୟକ୍ତି ସହ ସେ ପାଚିଲା ଶସ୍ୟକ୍ଷେତ ତା’ ଫୁଲ ସହ ବର୍ଷାରୂପକ ପରଦାରେ ଆବୃତ ହୋଇଯାଇଛି ବୋଲି ଲେଞ୍ଝା ଭାବୁଥିଲା । କିନ୍ତୁ ହଠାତ୍ ପ୍ରବଳ ବେଗରେ ଶକ୍ତିଶାଳୀ ପବନ ବହିବାକୁ ଆରମ୍ଭ କଲା ଏବଂ ବର୍ଷା ସହିତ ବଡ଼ ବଡ଼ କୁଆପଥର ଖଣ୍ଡସବୁ ପଡ଼ିବା ଆରମ୍ଭ ହେଲା । ବାସ୍ତବରେ କୁଆପଥରଗୁଡ଼ିକ ନୂଆ ରୁପା ମୁଦ୍ରାଭଳି ଦେଖାଯାଉଥିଲା । ବର୍ଷାରେ ଭିଜିଭିଜି ପିଲାମାନେ ବରଫ ମୁକ୍ତାଗୁଡ଼ିକୁ ସଂଗ୍ରହ କରିବାପାଇଁ ବାହାରକୁ ଦୌଡ଼ିଲେ ।

Para: “It’s really getting bad now “, exclaimed the man, “I hope it passes quickly. ” It did not pass quickly. For an hour the hail rained on the house, the garden, the hillside, the cornfield, on the whole valley. The field was white as if covered with salt.
ଅନୁବାଦ : ଲୋକଟି ବିସ୍ମୟର ସହ କହିଲା, ‘ବର୍ତ୍ତମାନ ପ୍ରକୃତରେ କିଛି ଖରାପ ଘଟିବାକୁ ଯାଉଛି ଏବଂ ମୁଁ ଆଶା କରୁଛି ଏହା ଖୁବ୍ ଶୀଘ୍ର ଚାଲିଯିବ ।’’ କିନ୍ତୁ ଏହା ଶୀଘ୍ର ଅତିକ୍ରମ କଲା ନାହିଁ । ଦୀର୍ଘ ଏକଘଣ୍ଟା ଧରି ଘର ଉପରେ, ବଗିଚାରେ, ପାହାଡ଼ କଡ଼ରେ, ଶସ୍ୟକ୍ଷେତରେ ତଥା ସମଗ୍ର ଉପତ୍ୟକାରେ କୁଆପଥର ବୃଷ୍ଟି ହେଲା । ଶସ୍ୟକ୍ଷେତଗୁଡ଼ିକ ଲୁଣଦ୍ୱାରା ଆବୃତ ହେବାଭଳି ସମ୍ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ ଧଳା ଦେଖାଯାଉଥିଲା ।

Para: Not a leaf remained on the trees. The corn was totally destroyed. The flowers were gone from the plants. Lencho’s soul was filled with sadness. When the storm had passed, he stood in the middle of the field and said to his sons, “A plague of locusts would have left more than this. The hail has left nothing, this year we will have no corn.”
ଅନୁବାଦ : ଗଛଗୁଡ଼ିକରେ ପତ୍ରଟିଏ ମଧ୍ଯ ରହିଲା ନାହିଁ । ଶସ୍ୟଗୁଡ଼ିକ ସମ୍ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ ନଷ୍ଟ ହୋଇଗଲା । ଶସ୍ୟଗଛଗୁଡ଼ିକରୁ ଫୁଲସବୁ ଝଡ଼ି ପଡ଼ିଲା । ଲେଞ୍ଚୋର ଆତ୍ମା ଦୁଃଖରେ ଭରିଗଲା । ଯେତେବେଳେ ଝଡ଼ ଚାଲିଗଲା, ସେ କ୍ଷେତ ମଝିରେ ଛିଡ଼ା ହୋଇ ତା’ର ପୁଅମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିଲା, ‘‘ପଙ୍ଗପାଳ ଉପଦ୍ରବ କରିଥିଲେ ହୁଏତ ଏହାଠାରୁ ଅଧିକ ଛାଡ଼ି ଦେଇଥା’ନ୍ତେ । କୁଆପଥର ବୃଷ୍ଟି କିଛି ଛାଡ଼ିଯାଇ ନାହିଁ । ଏବର୍ଷ ଆମେ ଆଦୌ ଶସ୍ୟ ପାଇବା ନାହିଁ ।

Para: That night was a sorrowful one.
“All our work, for nothing. ”
“There’s no one who can help us. ”
“We’ll all go hungry this year.”
But in the hearts of all who lived in that solitary house in the middle of the valley, there was a single hope: help from God.
“Don’t be so upset, even though this seems like a total loss. Remember, no one dies of hunger.”
That’s what they say : no one dies of hunger.
ଅନୁବାଦ : ସେହି ରାତିଟି ଏକ ଦୁଃଖଦ ରାତି ଥିଲା । ‘‘ଆମର ସମସ୍ତ ଶ୍ରମ ନିରର୍ଥକ ହେଲା ।’’ ‘‘ଆମକୁ ସାହାଯ୍ୟ କରିପାରିବା ଭଳି କେହି ନାହାନ୍ତି ।’’ ‘‘ଏବର୍ଷ ଆମେ ଭୋକିଲା ରହିବା ।’’ମାତ୍ର ଉପତ୍ୟକାର ମଧ୍ୟଭାଗସ୍ଥିତ ସେହି ନିଃସଙ୍ଗ ଘରଟିରେ ବାସ କରୁଥିବା ସମସ୍ତଙ୍କ ହୃଦୟରେ ଗୋଟିଏ ମାତ୍ର
ଆଶା ଥିଲା ; ଭଗବାନ୍‌ଙ୍କଠାରୁ ସାହାଯ୍ୟ ପ୍ରାପ୍ତି ।“‘ବିଚଳିତ ହୁଅ ନାହିଁ, ଯଦିଓ ଏହା ଏକ ସମ୍ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ କ୍ଷତି ଭଳି ଜଣାପଡ଼ୁଛି । ମନେରଖ, କେହି ଭୋକରେ ମରନ୍ତି ନାହିଁ ।”’‘କେହି ଭୋକରେ ମରେ ନାହିଁ – ଏପରି ସେମାନେ କହନ୍ତି ।’’

Para: All through the night, Lencho thought only of one hope: the help of God, whose eyes, as he had been instructed, see everything, even what is deep in one’s conscience. Lencho was an ox of a man, working like an animal in the fields, but still, he knew how to write. The following Sunday, at daybreak, he began to write a letter which he himself would carry to town and place in the mail. It was nothing less than a letter to God.
ଅନୁବାଦ : ରାତିସାରା ଲେଞ୍ଜୋ କେବଳ ସେଇ ଗୋଟିଏ ଆଶା, ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ସାହାଯ୍ୟ କଥା ଭାବୁଥୁଲା, ଯାହାଙ୍କର ଆଖ୍ ତାଙ୍କୁ ଯେପରି କୁହାଯାଇଛି ସବୁକିଛି ଦେଖେ ଏପରିକି ଜଣକର ଗଭୀର ହୃଦୟରେ କ’ଣ ଅଛି ଦେଖାରେ । ଲେଞ୍ଜୋ କଠିନ ପରିଶ୍ରମୀ ଥିଲା ଓ ସେ ତା’ର ଜମିରେ ବଳଦ ଭଳି ଖଟୁଥିଲା, କିନ୍ତୁ ତଥାପି ସେ ଲେଖୁବା ଜାଣିଥିଲା । ତା’ ପରବର୍ତୀ ରବିବାର ସକାଳୁ ସେ ଗୋଟିଏ ଚିଠି ଲେଖିବାକୁ ଆରମ୍ଭ କଲା, ଯାହାକୁ ସେ ନିଜେ ସହରକୁ ନେଲା ଓ ଡାକରେ ପକାଇ ଆସିଲା । ଏହା ଈଶ୍ଵରଙ୍କ ନିକଟକୁ ଏକ ପତ୍ର ବ୍ୟତୀତ ଅନ୍ୟ କିଛି ନ ଥିଲା ।

Para: “God,” he wrote, “if you don’t help me, my family and I will go hungry this year. I need a hundred pesos in order to sow my field again and to live until the crop comes, because of the hailstorm…. ”
ଅନୁବାଦ : ସେ ଲେଖୁଥିଲା, ‘ହେ ଈଶ୍ଵର, ଯଦି ଆପଣ ମୋତେ ସାହାଯ୍ୟ ନ କରନ୍ତି, ତେବେ ଏବର୍ଷ ମୋ ପରିବାର ଓ ମୁଁ ଭୋକରେ ରହିବୁ । ଜମିରେ ପୁନର୍ବାର ବିହନ ବୁଣିବାପାଇଁ ଓ ଫସଲ ଅମଳ ହେବା ପର୍ଯ୍ୟନ୍ତ ବଞ୍ଚିବା ପାଇଁ ମୋର ଏକ ଶହ ପୋସୋ (ଲାଟିନ୍‌ ଆମେରିକାର ମୁଦ୍ରା) ଆବଶ୍ୟକ କାରଣ କୁଆପଥର ……”’

Para: He wrote “To God’ on the envelope, put the letter inside, and, still troubled, went to town. At the post office, he placed a stamp on the letter and dropped it into the mailbox.
ଅନୁବାଦ : ସେ ଲଫାପା ଉପରେ “To God” (ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କୁ) ବୋଲି ଲେଖୁଲା, ଚିଠିଟିକୁ ତା’ ଭିତରେ ରଖିଲା, ତଥାପି ଶଙ୍କାକୁଳ ମନରେ ସହରକୁ ଗଲା । ଡାକଘରେ ସେ ଚିଠି ଉପରେ ଟିକଟ ଲଗାଇଲା ଓ ଡାକବାକ୍ସ ଭିତରେ ସେଇଟିକୁ ପକାଇଦେଲା ।

Para: One of the employees, who was a postman and also helped at the post office, went to his boss laughing heartily, and showed him the letter to God. Never in his career as a postman had he known that address. The postmaster – a fat, amiable fellow also broke out laughing, but almost immediately he turned serious and, tapping the letter on his desk, commented, “What faith! I wish I had the faith in the man who wrote this letter. Starting up a correspondence with God !”
ଅନୁବାଦ : ଜଣେ କର୍ମଚାରୀ, ଯିଏକି ଜଣେ ଡାକବାଲା ଥୁଲା ଓ ଡାକଘରେ ମଧ୍ୟ ସାହାଯ୍ୟ କରୁଥିଲା, ହସି ହସି ଉପରିସ୍ଥ ଅଧିକାରୀଙ୍କ ନିକଟକୁ ଗଲା ଓ ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ପାଖକୁ ଲେଖାଯାଇଥିବା ଚିଠିଟିକୁ ଦେଖାଇଲା । ଡାକବାଲାଭାବେ ତା’ର ଚାକିରିକାଳ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ସେ ଏପରି ଠିକଣା କେବେ ଜାଣି ନଥିଲା । ଅମାୟିକ ପ୍ରକୃତିର ମେଦବହୁଳ ପୋଷ୍ଟମାଷ୍ଟର, ମଧ୍ୟ ହସି ହସି ଫାଟି ପଡ଼ିଲେ, କିନ୍ତୁ ହଠାତ୍ ସେ ଗମ୍ଭୀର ହୋଇଗଲେ ଏବଂ ତାଙ୍କ ଡେସ୍କ ଉପରେ ଚିଠିଟିକୁ ଟିକିଏ ବାଡ଼େଇ ଦେଇ ମନ୍ତବ୍ୟ ଦେଲେ, ‘କି ବିଶ୍ଵାସ ! ଏହି ଚିଠିଟି ଲେଖୁଥ‌ିବା ଲୋକର ବିଶ୍ଵାସ ଭଳି ମୋର ବିଶ୍ବାସ ଥାଆନ୍ତି କି ! ଈଶ୍ଵରଙ୍କ ସହିତ ପତ୍ରାଳାପ ଆରମ୍ଭ କରିଛି ।’’

Para: So, in order not to shake the writer’s faith in God, the postmaster came up with an idea: answer the letter. But when he opened it, it was evident that to answer it he needed something more than goodwill, ink, and paper. But he stuck to his resolution: he asked for money from his employees, he himself gave part of his salary, and several friends of his were obliged to give something for an act of charity.
ଅନୁବାଦ : ଲେଖକଙ୍କର ଈଶ୍ଵରଙ୍କ ଉପରେ ଆସ୍ଥା ନ ତୁଟାଇବାପାଇଁ ପୋଷ୍ଟମାଷ୍ଟରଙ୍କ ମନ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ଚିଠିର ଉତ୍ତର ଲେଖୁବାପାଇଁ ବିଚାରଟିଏ ଆସିଲା । କିନ୍ତୁ ସେ ଯେତେବେଳେ ଏହାକୁ ଖୋଲିଲେ, ସେଥୁରୁ ଜଣାପଡ଼ିଲା ଯେ ଏହାର ଉତ୍ତର ଦେବାପାଇଁ ସେ ଶୁଭେଚ୍ଛା, କାଳି ଓ କାଗଜ ବ୍ୟତୀତ ଆଉ କିଛି ଅଧିକ ଦରକାର କରୁଥିଲେ । କିନ୍ତୁ ସେ ଯାହା ସଙ୍କଳ୍ପ କରିଥିଲେ ବା ଚିନ୍ତା କରିଥିଲେ ସେଇଥ୍ରେ ଅଟଳ ରହିଲେ । ସେ ତାଙ୍କର କର୍ମଚାରୀମାନଙ୍କଠାରୁ କିଛି ଟଙ୍କା ମାଗିଲେ ଓ ସେ ନିଜେ ତାଙ୍କ ଦରମାରୁ କିଛି ଅଂଶ ପ୍ରଦାନ କଲେ ଏବଂ ତାଙ୍କର ଅନେକ ବନ୍ଧୁ ଏହି ବଦାନ୍ୟପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ କାର୍ଯ୍ୟ ପାଇଁ କିଛି ଅର୍ଥ ଦେଇ କୃତଜ୍ଞ ହେଲେ ।

Para: It was impossible for him to gather together the hundred pesos, so he was able to send the farmer only a little more than half. He put the money in an envelope addressed to Lencho and with it a letter containing only a single word as a signature: God.
ଅନୁବାଦ : ଲେଞ୍ଜୋ ମାଗିଥ୍‌ ଶହେ ପେସୋ ଏକତ୍ର ସଂଗ୍ରହ କରିବା ତାଙ୍କ ପକ୍ଷେ ଅସମ୍ଭବ ଥିଲା, ତେଣୁ ସେ କୃଷକ ନିକଟକୁ ଅଧାରୁ ଟିକିଏ ଅଧିକ ପଠାଇବାକୁ ସମର୍ଥ ହେଲେ । ଲେଞ୍ଜୋ ଠିକଣା ଲେଖାଥିବା ଲଫାପା ଭିତରେ ସେ ଟଙ୍କା ଓ ତା’ ସହ ‘ଈଶ୍ବର’ ବୋଲି ସ୍ବାକ୍ଷର ହୋଇଥିବା ଚିଠିଟିକୁ ରଖୁଲେ ।

Para: The following Sunday Lencho came a bit earlier than usual to ask if there was a letter for him. It was the postman himself who handed the letter to him while the postmaster, experiencing the contentment of a man who has performed a good deed, looked on from his office.
ଅନୁବାଦ : ତା’ପାଇଁ କିଛି ଚିଠି ଅଛି କି ନାହିଁ ଜାଣିବାପାଇଁ ଲେଞ୍ଜୋ ପରବର୍ତ୍ତୀ ରବିବାର ଟିକିଏ ସହଳ ପହଞ୍ଚଗଲା । ଡାକବାଲା ନିଜେ ଚିଠିଟିକୁ ତାକୁ ବଢ଼ାଇଦେଲେ ଓ ଜଣେ ଭଲ କାମ କରିଥିବା ବ୍ୟକ୍ତି ଭଳି ସନ୍ତୋଷ ଅନୁଭବ କରି ପୋଷ୍ଟମାଷ୍ଟର ତାଙ୍କ ଅଫିସ୍‌ରୁ ଚାହିଁ ରହିଲେ ।

Para: Lencho showed not the slightest surprise on seeing the money; such was his confidence-but that he became angry when he counted the money. God could not have made a mistake, nor could he have denied Lencho what he had requested.
ଅନୁବାଦ : ଲେଞ୍ଚୋର ଏତେ ଦୃଢ଼ ବିଶ୍ୱାସ ଥିଲା ଯେ ଟଙ୍କାକୁ ଦେଖୁ ସେ ତିଳେମାତ୍ର ବିସ୍ମିତ ହେଲା ନାହିଁ । ମାତ୍ର ଟଙ୍କାଗୁଡ଼ିକୁ ଗଣିବାବେଳେ ସେ ରାଗିଗଲା । ଈଶ୍ବର କେବେହେଲେ ଭୁଲ୍ କରିପାରିବେ ନାହିଁ କିମ୍ବା ଲେଞ୍ଜୋ ଯାହା ଅନୁରୋଧ କରିଥିଲା ତାକୁ ମଧ୍ୟ କେବେହେଲେ ପ୍ରତ୍ୟାଖ୍ୟାନ କରିପାରିବେ ନାହିଁ ।

Para: Immediately, Lencho went up to the window to ask for paper and ink. On the public writing table, he started to write, with much wrinkling of his brow, caused by the effort he had to make to express his ideas. When he finished, he went to the window to buy a stamp which he licked and then affixed to the envelope with a blow of his fist. The moment the letter fell into the mailbox the postmaster went to open it. It said: “God: Of the money that I asked for, only seventy pesos reached me. Send me the rest since I need it very much. But don’t send it to me through the mail because the post office employees are a bunch of crooks. Len cho.”
ଅନୁବାଦ : ସଙ୍ଗେ ସଙ୍ଗେ ଲେଞ୍ଜୋ କାଗଜ ଓ କାଳି ମାଗିବାପାଇଁ ଝରକା ପର୍ଯ୍ୟନ୍ତ ଗଲା । ତା’ର ଭାବନାକୁ ପରିପ୍ରକାଶ କରିବାକୁ ଭୁଲତା କୁଞ୍ଚନ ସହିତ ସର୍ବସାଧାରଣଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ଉଦ୍ଦିଷ୍ଟ ଟେବୁଲ ଉପରେ ସେ ଲେଖୁବାକୁ ଆରମ୍ଭ କଲା । ଚିଠି ଲେଖା ଶେଷ କରିବା ପରେ ଲେଞ୍ଚେ ଝରକା ପାଖକୁ ଟିକଟଟିଏ କିଣିବାକୁ ଗଲା ଓ ଟିକେଟରେ ସେ ଛେପ ମାରି ଲଫାପା ଉପରେ ବିଧାମାରି ଲଗାଇଦେଲା । ଡାକବାକ୍ସରେ ଚିଠିଟି ପଡ଼ିବାମାତ୍ରେ ପୋଷ୍ଟମାଷ୍ଟର ତାକୁ ଖୋଲିବାକୁ ଚାଲିଗଲେ । ଏଥ‌ିରେ ଲେଖାଥିଲା : ‘ହେ ଈଶ୍ଵର, ମୁଁ ମାଗିଥିବା ଟଙ୍କା ମଧ୍ୟରୁ ମାତ୍ର ସତୁରି ପୋସୋ ମୋ ପାଖରେ ପହଞ୍ଚିଲା । ଅବଶିଷ୍ଟ ଟଙ୍କାତକ ମୋ ପାଖକୁ ପଠାନ୍ତୁ କାରଣ ଏହା ମୋ ପାଇଁ ନିତାନ୍ତ ଆବଶ୍ୟକ । ମାତ୍ର ଏହାକୁ ଡାକ ଯୋଗେ ମୋ ପାଖକୁ ପଠାନ୍ତୁ ନାହିଁ କାରଣ ଡାକଘର କର୍ମଚାରୀମାନେ ହେଉଛନ୍ତି ଦଳେ ଅସାଧୁ ଲୋକ ।’’ ଇତି ଲେଞ୍ଜୋ ।

2. Write a paragraph in about 5 to 8 sentences on each of the topics given below :
(ନିମ୍ନରେ ଦିଆଯାଇଥ‌ିବା ପ୍ରତ୍ୟେକ ଶୀର୍ଷକ ଉପରେ ୫ରୁ ୮ଟି ବାକ୍ୟ ମଧ୍ଯରେ ଏକ ଅନୁଚ୍ଛେଦ ଲେଖ ।)
(a) Gandhi as student
(b) Gandhi’s Headmaster
(c) Gandhi’s Sanskrit and Persian teachers
(d) Gandhi’s attitude towards sports and handwriting
Answer.
Gandhi as a student:
Gandhi was an average student in high school. He had high regard (ଉଚ୍ଚ ସମ୍ମାନ) for his teachers. He loved geometry more than Sanskrit. Once he was fined for having not attended (ଯୋଗ ଦେଇନଥିବା) gymnastics class. But at his father’s request, he got the fine remitted. His being fined (ତାଙ୍କୁ ଜରିମାନା କରାଯାଇଛି) pained him.

Gandhi’s Headmaster:
Dorabji Edulji Gimi was the headmaster when Gandhi was in High School. He was loved by the students. Because he was a disciplinarian, a man of method, and above all (ସର୍ବୋପରେ) a good teacher. He believed in the keeping of sound health of the boys. So he made attending of the boys in gymnastics and cricket compulsory. He convicted Gandhi of lying.

Gandhi’s Sanskrit and Persian teachers:
Gandhi’s Sanskrit teacher was Krishnashankar Pandya. He was pained (ଯନ୍ତ୍ରଣା ଅନୁଭବ କଲା) to see Gandhi sit in the Persian class. He prevailed upon (ଉପରେ ବିଜୟୀ ହେଲା ) him to come back to Sanskrit class as it was the language of his own religion and he being a Vaishnav father’s son.
On the other hand (ଅନ୍ୟ ହାତ), his Persian teacher was lenient. He had some sort of rivalry with the Sanskrit teacher. His soft nature and the easiness of the Persian language one day tempted Gandhi to sit in the Persian class.

Gandhi’s attitude (ମନୋଭାବ) towards (ଆଡକୁ) sports and handwriting:
Regarding (ସମ୍ବନ୍ଧରେ) sports Gandhi had the earlier notion that sports like gymnastics had nothing to do with education. He kept aloof (ଦୂରେଇ ରଖିଥିଲେ) from cricket, football or gymnastics as he desired (ସେ ଇଚ୍ଛା କଲେ) to serve (ସେବା କରିବାକୁ) his father during those classes. Later (ପରେ) he felt that physical training should have (ଥିବା ଦର୍କାର) as many places as mental training in the curriculum. Handwriting, likewise (ସେହିଭଳି) was thought to have no necessity in good education by Gandhi. But he had to change (ପରିବର୍ତ୍ତନ କରିବାକୁ ପଡିଲା) this notion (&I961I) when he observed (ଯେତେବେଳେ ସେ ଦେଖିଲେ) the good handwriting (ଭଲ ହସ୍ତଲିଖନ) of young men and lawyers in South Africa.

3. Write a letter in about 100 words to your penfriend telling him/her about Gandhi as a person.
(ତୁମର ପତ୍ରବନ୍ଧୁଙ୍କୁ ଜଣେ ବ୍ୟକ୍ତି ହିସାବରେ ଗାନ୍ଧିଙ୍କ ବିଷୟରେ ବର୍ଣ୍ଣନା କରି ପ୍ରାୟ ୧୦୦ ଶବ୍ଦରେ ଏକ ପତ୍ର ଲେଖ ।)

Dear Asish,
How are you now? Hoping you will be enjoying a relaxed time. Recently I went through (read thoroughly – ଭଲ ଭାବରେ ପଢନ୍ତୁ) a topic on Gandhi’s life.
As a person, Gandhi showed his enormous (ପ୍ରକାଣ୍ଡ) potential (ସମ୍ଭାବ୍ୟ) when he was in South Africa. When he saw the distressed (ଦୁର୍ଦ୍ଦଶାଗ୍ରସ୍ତ) condition of the Indians there, he launched ‘Satyagraha’ a great weapon against Apartheid (ଅପାର୍ଥିଡ଼ ) of the White rulers (ଶ୍ୱେତାଙ୍ଗ ଶାସକ). From this, he matured (ପରିପକ୍ବତା ହାସଲ କରିଥିଲେ)) as a great leader which he successfully (ସେ ସଫଳତାର ସହିତ) displayed (ପ୍ରଦର୍ଶିତ |) by supporting the cause (କାରଣ) of the farmers in Champaran of Bihar in 1917.
His leadership (ନେତୃତ୍ୱ) made crores of Indians bow their heads to him for his having empowered India to become free from British rule.
I hope you have got to know a few things about this great Indian as a person.
Yours sincerely,
Nabakishore.

At the High School Summary in English

Lead-In:
According to several accounts (ଖାତା), Gandhi was not so brilliant (talented – ପ୍ରତିଭାଶାଳୀ) as a student. He was noted (famous – ପ୍ରସିଦ୍ଧ) to be good at English, fair in Arithmetic, weak in Geography, good in conduct (ଆଚରଣ) and bad in handwriting. Though he did not have any high regard (ସମ୍ମାନ) for his “ability” (ସାମର୍ଥ୍ୟ), he was astonished (very much surprised – ବହୁତ ଆଶ୍ଚର୍ଯ୍ୟ) whenever he won prizes and scholarships.

Paragraphwise Explanation:
Para-1: I was not regarded as a fool at the high school. I always enjoyed the affection of my teachers. Certificates of progress and character used to be sent to the parents every year. I never had a bad certificate. In fact, I even won prizes after I passed out of the second standard. In the fifth and sixth I obtained scholarships of rupees four and ten respectively, an achievement for which I have to thank good luck more than my merit.
ଅନୁବାଦ : ଉଚ୍ଚ ବିଦ୍ୟାଳୟରେ ମୁଁ ଏକ ବୋକା ରୂପେ ପରିଚିତ ନ ଥୁଲି । ମୁଁ ସର୍ବଦା ମୋ ଶିକ୍ଷକମାନଙ୍କର ସ୍ନେହ ଉପଭୋଗ କରୁଥିଲି । ପ୍ରତିବର୍ଷ ପାଠ୍ୟନ୍ନତି ଓ ଚରିତ୍ର ସମ୍ପର୍କିତ ପ୍ରମାଣପତ୍ର ପିତାମାତାଙ୍କ ପାଖକୁ ପଠାଯାଉଥିଲା । ମୋ ସମ୍ପର୍କରେ ଗୋଟିଏ ମଧ୍ୟ ଖରାପ ପ୍ରମାଣପତ୍ର ନ ଥିଲା । ପ୍ରକୃତରେ, ଦ୍ଵିତୀୟ ଶ୍ରେଣୀ ଉତ୍ତୀର୍ଣ୍ଣ ହେବା ପରେ ମୁଁ ପୁରସ୍କାର ପାଇଥୁଲି । ପଞ୍ଚମ ଓ ଷଷ୍ଠ ଶ୍ରେଣୀରେ ମୁଁ ଯଥାକ୍ରମେ ୪ ଟଙ୍କା ଓ ଦଶ ଟଙ୍କାର ଛାତ୍ରବୃତ୍ତି ପାଇଥୁଲି, ଏଭଳି ଏକ କୃତିତ୍ଵ ଯେଉଁଥ୍ପାଇଁ ମୁଁ ମୋର ମେଧା ଅପେକ୍ଷା ସୌଭାଗ୍ୟକୁ ଧନ୍ୟବାଦ ଦେବି ।

Para-2: My own recollection is that I did not have any high regard for my ability. I used to be astonished whenever I won prizes and scholarships. But / very jealously guarded my character. The least little blemish drew tears from my eyes. When I merited, or seemed to the teacher to merit a rebuke, it was unbearable for me. I remember having once received corporal punishment. I did not so much mind the punishment as the fact that it was considered my desert. I wept piteously. That was when I was in the first or second standard. There was another such incident during the time when I was in the seventh standard. Dorabji EduTfi Gimi was the headmaster then. He was popular among the boys, as he was a disciplinarian, a man of method and a good teacher. He made gymnastics and cricket compulsory for the boys of upper standard. I disliked both. I never took part in any exercise, cricket or football, before they were made compulsory. My shyness was one of the reasons for this aloofness, which I now see wrong. I had then the false notion that gymnastics had nothing to do with education. Today I know that physical training should have much place in the curriculum as mental training.

Para-3: The reason for my dislike was my keen desire to serve as nurse to my father. As soon as the school closed, I would hurry home and begin serving him. Compulsory exercise came directly in the way of this service. 1 requested Mr Gimi to exempt me from gymnastics so that I might be free to serve my father. But he would not listen to me. Now it happened that one Saturday, when we had school in the morning, I had to come from home to school for gymnastics at four o’ clock in the afternoon. I had no watch, and the cloud deceived me. Before I reached the school, the boys had all left. The next day Mr. Gimi examining the roll, found me marked absent. Being asked for the reason of absence, I told him what had happened. He refused to believe me and ordered me to pay a fine of one or two annas.

Para-4: I was convicted of lying! That deeply pained me. How was I to prove my innocence? There was no way. / cried in deep anguish. I saw that a man of truth must also be a man of care. This was the first time and last instance of my carelessness in school. I had a faint recollection that I finally succeeded in getting the fine remitted. The exemption from exercise was of course obtained as my father wrote himself to the headmaster saying that he wanted me at home after school.

Para-5: But though I was none the worse for having neglected exercise, I am still paying the penalty of another neglect. I do not know whence I got the notion that good handwriting was not a necessary part of education, but I retained it until I went to England. When later, especially in South Africa, I saw the beautiful handwriting of lawyers and young men born and educated in South Africa, I was ashamed of myself and repented of my neglect. I saw that bad handwriting should be regarded as a sign of an imperfect education. I tried later to improve mine, but it was too late. I could never repair the neglect of my youth. Let every young man and woman be warned by my example, and understand that good handwriting is a necessary part of education. I am now of the opinion that children should first be taught the art of drawing before learning to write. Let the child learn his letters by observation as he does different objects, such as flowers, birds, etc. and let him learn to handwrite only after he has learnt to draw objects. He will then write a beautifully formed hand.

Para-6: Sanskrit, however, proved a harder task. In geometry, there was nothing to memorize, whereas in Sanskrit, I thought, everything had to be learnt by heart. This subject was also commenced from the fourth standard. As soon as I entered the six, I became disheartened. The teacher was a hard taskmaster, anxious, as I thought, to force the boys. There was a sort of rivalry going on between the Sanskrit and the Persian teachers. The Persian teacher was lenient. The boys used to talk among themselves that Persian was very easy and the Persian teacher, was very good and considerate to the students. The ‘easiness’ tempted me and one day I sat in the Persian class. The Sanskrit teacher was grieved. He called me to his side and said: How can you forget that you are the son of a Vaishnava father? Won’t you learn the language of your own religion? If you have any difficulty, why not come to me? I want to teach you students Sanskrit to the best of my ability. As you proceed further, you will find in it things of absorbing interest. You should not lose heart. Come and sit again in the Sanskrit class.

Para-7: This kindness put me to shame. I could not disregard my teacher’s affection. Today I cannot but thank with gratitude of Krishnashankar Pandya. For if I had not acquired the little Sanskrit that I learnt then, I should have found it difficult to take any interest in our sacred books. In fact I deeply regret that I was not able to acquire a more thorough knowledge of the language.

About The Author:
As you all know, Mahatma Gandhi (born in 1869) was one of the tallest leaders in the world. He was the greatest leader of our independence movement (ସ୍ୱାଧୀନତା ଆନ୍ଦୋଳନ). He is popularly called the Father of the Nation. But before he became the Mahatma (Great Soul) in his later life, Gandhi received his early education at Rajkot English School in Rajkot in the state of Gujarat. Later it became a full-fledged (ସମ୍ପୁର୍ଣ୍ଣ) High School and came to be known as Rajkot High School. Gandhi matriculated from this school in 1887 at the age of 18. After independence in 1947, the school was renamed the “Mohandas Gandhi High School” in honor of the Father of the Nation.

A TRAGIC ROAD ACCIDENT

Saheed Nagar. Bhubaneswar, 3rd June: It was a wet monsoon day yet there was heavy traffic on the roads. Vicky, a young smart boy, rode his bike to his friend’s house in the next lane. Vicky was very sincere, but that day he did not wear his helmet for the first time. To his bad luck, a truck coming from Acharya Vihar at a high speed hit his bike and he got a severe head injury and died on the spot. The police rushed to the spot and send the body to the hospital. This tragic road accident happened due to the high speed of the truck and the carelessness of the boy. If he wore a helmet, he would not have lost his life. So young children should be careful about the traffic rules while riding on the road. They should obey traffic rules like wearing helmets, and driving a considerable speed. avoid talking on mobiles ut listening to music etc.

Rajendra,
the reporter.

Tree

• Construction of a house( ଏକ ଘର ନିର୍ମାଣ)
• Furniture (ଆସବାବପତ୍ର)
• Translation results (ଅନୁବାଦ ଫଳାଫଳ)
• Rainfall (ବର୍ଷା)
• Temperature control (ତାପମାତ୍ରା ନିୟନ୍ତ୍ରଣ |)
• Soil erosion (ମୃତ୍ତିକା କ୍ଷୟ |)
• Deforestation (ଜଙ୍ଗଲ ନଷ୍ଟ)
• Afforestation (ବୃକ୍ଷରୋପଣ |)

Answer:
Trees
Construction of a house (ଗୃହ ନିର୍ମାଣ ଉପରେ):
Wood is necessary for the construction of a house. Its use was more in making traditional houses in the recent past. It was used mainly as pillars and bars. Presently it is used mainly for making doors and windows. Its use has been reduced only because of its costliness and less availability. It is our duty to save trees.

Furniture (ଆସବାବପତ୍ର):
Wooden furniture has an all-time great demand. Even though they are expensive today people still go for it because their value is incomparable. We get wood from trees which are used in making sofa-set, cot, cupboard, almirah, wardrobe, chair and table, bench and desk, dining table, etc. Thus trees in the form of furniture give us comfort and luxury.

Rainfall (ବର୍ଷା):
Rainfall also depends on the trees. The leaves of the trees release huge quantities of water vapor into the atmosphere which helps in the formation of clouds. The areas, which have more trees, receive more rainfall. So we see heavy rainfall in forests. Deserts have scanty rainfall because there are no trees.

Temperature control (ତାପମାତ୍ରା ନିୟନ୍ତ୍ରଣ |):
Trees are our real friends. When we sit under a shady tree in the hot summer, we feel relaxed. When the temperature rises, it is the tree that comes to our rescue. Its branches and green leaves help to absorb the heat and do not allow it to reach us. The trees provide shade for the animals in the summer.

Soil erosion (ମୃତ୍ତିକା କ୍ଷୟ |):
Soil erosion has become a tough problem today. Recently soil erosion in coastal lines has created a panic. It happens largely due to the loss of trees. It is the tree roots that bind the soil tightly and does not allow the soil to erode away. Deforestation is a cause of soil erosion. Loss of soil has certain bad consequences which are to be avoided. Let us not cut trees to avoid an unpleasant situation ahead.

Deforestation (ଜଙ୍ଗଲ ନଷ୍ଟ):
Deforestation means cutting down trees in the forests. Presently we come across such activities all over the world. Mostly, deforestation is done for the establishment of factories and new colonies, towns, and offices. Due to this, we are losing large hectares of forest every year. It has certain evil effects like soil erosion, earthquake, flood, cyclone, scanty rainfall, and rise in temperature. The animals will be the worst sufferer of deforestation as they will lose their habitat and food. It is definitely a step toward destruction.

Afforestation (ବୃକ୍ଷରୋପଣ |):
Afforestation is the process of planting trees on bare land in order to create a forest. It has become a need today as we have lost most of our greenery. Deforestation has caused much damage to us. We are to continue afforestation to fill up the loss caused by deforestation. Afforestation can check soil erosion, flood, cyclone, earthquake, and many other disasters. Let’s join in this great work of afforestation to make the world a safe place for human habitation.

Answer:
The first four lines of the poem are four questions of the mother to her daughter who does not want to marry, instead, she wants to leave her mother and grieve her lover. Being attracted by the music of nature she has decided to quit all pleasures of worldly life. The first question mother asks her is: “Where are you going, honey child ?” Mother has sensed her daughter’s leaving home and that is why she asked this. The second question is, “Would you cast your jewels all to the breezes blowing ?” The mother, in the second question, wants to know her interest in the ornaments which she is wearing for wedding purposes. In the third question, the mother wants to make the girl emotional. So she asked, “Would you leave your mother who has fed you various delicate dishes ?” In the last question, the mother wants to know the girl’s interest in marriage and family life. So she puts the question, “Would you grieve the lover who is riding forth to wed you ?” The mother asks all these questions only to change her daughter’s mind about having a marriage and family life.

Question 2.
Does the mother’s appeal have any effect on the girl? What does the girl find irresistible?
(ମା’ଙ୍କ ଅନୁରୋଧ ଝିଅ ଉପରେ କିଛି ପ୍ରଭାବ ପକାଇଛି କି ? ଝିଅଟି କ’ଣ ଅତ୍ୟନ୍ତ ଆକର୍ଷଣୀୟ ବୋଲି ଭାବିଛି ?)
Answer:
No, the mother’s appeal does not have any effect on the girl. She deeply sees misery in the happiness of marriage. The girl, being attracted by the music of nature, wants to give up her home, mother, and even a married life. Nature’s attraction is irresistible on her part. She is mostly attracted by the wild forest, Champa trees, and their beautiful buds, Koil-haunted river islands, shining of flowers like lotuses and lilies, and above all the sweet voices of the fairy folk. According to the daughter’s wisdom, all worldly pleasures are transitory. Thus the mother didn’t succeed in persuading the daughter towards worldly pleasures.

Question 3.
How are worldly pleasures compared with the pleasures of the fairyland?
(ଜାଗତିକ ଆନନ୍ଦକୁ ପରୀରାଇଜର ଆନନ୍ଦ ସହିତ କିପରି ତୁଳନା କରାଯାଇଛି ?)
Answer:
The poet Sarojini Naidu has made a beautiful and interesting comparison between worldly pleasures and the pleasures of the fairyland or nature in her poem. The words and expressions in her poem like bridal robes, bridal songs, cradle songs, bridal cakes, and sandal-scented leisure are the symbols of worldly pleasures which are transitory, short-lived, and have the pace of sorrow. But this does not happen in the case of natural pleasures. Music of nature is far sweeter than bridal songs and cradle songs. Blowing winds and glittering flowers and flowing of streams provide real pleasures. The voices of the fairy folk is irresistible. So the girl seems unwilling to be chained to a marital bond.

K. Let’s Write:

Question 1.
How does the mother dissuade the girl from going to the forest?
(ଜଙ୍ଗଲକୁ ଯିବାରୁ ମା’ ଝିଅକୁ କିପରି ନିବର୍ତ୍ତାଇଛନ୍ତି ?)
Answer:
The mother, in the poem, comes to know about the intention of her daughter to spend an unmarried life in the lap of nature. The girl loves nature and wants to spend her whole life listening to the music of nature. And for that, she expresses her desire to go to the forest. Her mother insists that how can she throw away her costly jewels and leave her mother who has fed her delicate dishes. She will also disappoint her would-be husband who is coming to marry her. Mother also tells her about worldly pleasures. She will be delighted by the bridal songs and cradle songs. She will look beautiful in bridal robes. Her bridal cake is kept ready on the heart. She will also have a good time enjoying her life. Thus, the mother tries to dissuade the girl from going to the forest.

Question 2.
Why does the girl want to go there?
(ଝିଅଟି ସେଠାକୁ ଯିବାକୁ କାହିଁକି ଇଚ୍ଛା କରିଛି ?)
Answer:
The girl, in the poem, is a staunch lover of nature. She is completely averse to worldly pleasures. She does not prefer a married life. She wants to go to the wild forest. She shall be delighted to see the branches with beautiful buds in the Champa trees. She wants to enjoy the sweet songs of the Koils as well as the beauty of lotuses and lilies in the river island of the forest. The sweet voices of the fairy folk are calling her. Further bridal songs and cradle songs which depict worldly pleasures have cadences of sorrow. The happiness of today is followed by the sorrow of tomorrow. So she is disgusted with this kind of unnatural pleasures of life. To her, the music of nature is far sweeter than bridal songs and cradle songs. So she decides to go to the wild forest.

Question 3.
Given below is a table. Write in the table the words/expressions from the poem that you think are appropriate in each column. (ନିମ୍ନରେ ଏକ ସାରଣୀ ଦିଆଯାଇଛି । ପ୍ରତ୍ୟେକ ସ୍ତମ୍ଭ ପାଇଁ ତୁମେ ଭାବୁଥ‌ିବା କବିତାର ଉପଯୁକ୍ତ ଶବ୍ଦ|ଶବ୍ଦପୁଞ୍ଜଗୁଡ଼ିକୁ ସାରଣୀରେ ଲେଖ ।)

Question 4.
Now prepare a note on the atmosphere of fairyland as described in the poem.
(କବିତାରେ ବର୍ଣ୍ଣିତ ହୋଇଥ‌ିବା ଭଳି ପରୀରାଇଜର ପରିବେଶ ସମ୍ପର୍କରେ ଏକ ଟିପ୍‌ପଣୀ ପ୍ରସ୍ତୁତ କର ।)
Answer:
The fairyland here refers to the wild forest where the music of nature attracts everyone. The blowing of Champa buds upon the Champa branches, songs of singing birds, and shining of lotus and lilies in the river islands add to the beauty of the fairyland. The flowing of streams and the voices of the fairy folk are also important lectures of the fairyland.

Mother mine, to the wild forest I am going.
Whereupon the Champa boughs the Champa buds are blowing;
To the Koil-haunted river isles where lotus lilies glisten,
The voices of the fairy folk are calling me: O listen!

Gist: In this stanza, the daughter expresses her desire to go to a wild forest. She says to her mother that the wild forest, where she is going is a beautiful one. The forest has Champa trees upon whose branches buds are blowing. The river isles are haunted by Koils. Beautiful flowers like lotuses and lilies are shining there. Thus the sweet voice of this singing bird and the beauty of these flowers attract her. She also listens to the voices of the fairy folk who are calling her to the lap of nature.

Honey child, honey child, the world is full of pleasure.
Of bridal songs and cradle songs and sandal-scented leisure.
Your bridal robes are in the loom, silver, and saffron glowing,
Your bridal cakes are on the hearth: O whither are you going?

Gist: In the third stanza, the mother still tries to convince the daughter by telling her the pleasures of the worldly life. She tells her that family life is full of pleasure and happiness. She will lose herself in the songs of her marriage ceremony as well as in the soft sweet songs that she will sing for her baby in the cradle. She will also get a good time enjoying her life. Her marriage dress, which is in the loom, is dazzling with silver and saffron colors. Her bridal cakes are kept prepared on the hearth. In this arrangement, the mother dissuades her daughter from going to the wild forest.

Stanza – 4 (Lines 13 to 16)
The bridal songs and cradle songs have cadences of sorrow,
The laughter of the sun today, the wind of death tomorrow.
Far sweeter sound the forest notes where forest streams are falling;
O mother mine, I cannot stay, the fairy folk are calling.

Gist: In the final stanza the daughter says the truth of the real world. She explains that the bridal song and the cradle song will turn into a rhythm of sorrows one day. The happiness of today will be gone tomorrow leaving behind the mourning of death. But the world where she wishes to go is far sweeter than the worldly happiness where natural streams are flowing. At last, she tells her mother that she cannot stay at home and lead a married life as she is called by the fairy folk, in the forest.

About The Poet :
Sarojini Naidu (1879-1949) was a great Indian English poet of our country. She was popularly known as The Nightingale of India. She was not only a poet but also a freedom fighter (ସ୍ୱାଧୀନତା ସଂଗ୍ରାମୀ) who joined the freedom struggle led by Mahatma Gandhi. She was born in Hyderabad on February 13, 1879. She was the child of a prodigy. She became a prolific writer at a very young age of her life. But she gave up her literary career (ସାହିତ୍ୟିକ ବୃତ୍ତି) to join the freedom struggle. She was the first Indian woman to become the President of the Indian National Congress. She was also the first woman to become the Governor of a state i.e., Uttar Pradesh. But she is known to the readers more as a poet than a politician. The poem “Village Song” appeared in her book titled “The Golden Threshold”. Leading a very successful career of a poet and politician, she passed away in 1949.

About The Poem:
The poem ‘Village Song’ of Sarojini Naidu is a traditional folk poem in which the voice of a mother and a daughter are heard. The mother says to her daughter to wait for her bride-groom to arrive but the daughter does not want to marry. She wishes to run away to the forest and remain unmarried. The arguments of both mother and daughter on a rural social background are very simple, direct, and interesting.
