Class Discussion Summary In Hindi

शिक्षिका ने कक्षा में विचार-विमर्श आयोजित की है। सभी विद्यार्थी और स्वयं शिक्षिका चर्चा में व्यस्त हैं। लेकिन जेन इसमें हिस्सा नहीं लेती है। वह हर समय बैठी रहती है और चुप्पी साधे घूरती रहती है। शिक्षिका उससे पूछती है कि क्या उसे कोई समस्या है। इस पर जेन बड़े साफ शब्दों में जवाब देती है कि संसार में ऐसे बहुत से लोग हैं जो बोलना पसंद नहीं करते क्योंकि वे उसकी तरह शांत प्रवृत्ति के होते हैं।
