Hunter Or Hunted? (હન્ટર ઑર હન્ટિ?) શિકારી કે શિકાર?

(ધેઅર વૉઝ અ બ્યુટિફુલ લેક ઇન અ ફૉરિસ્ટ. ફૉર ફ્રેન્ડ્ઝ, અ | ડિઅર, એ ક્રો, આ માઉસ ઍન્ડ અ ટર્ટલ લિડ ધેઅર. ધે મેટ એવરિ ડે નિઅર ધ લેક. ઍઝ યુઝઅલ, ધ મેટ વન ડે. બટ ધ ડિઅર વૉઝ મિસિંગ.) જંગલમાં એક સુંદર તળાવ હતું. ત્યાં ચાર મિત્રો, હરણ, કાગડો, ઉંદર અને કાચબો રહેતા. તેઓ રોજ તળાવ પાસે મળતા. હંમેશની જેમ, એક દિવસ તેઓ ભેગા થયા, પણ હરણ ગેરહાજર હતું.

Mouse : Friends, where is our dear deer ?
Crow: Don’t worry. She will be here soon.
Turtle : She is always on time. She may i be in trouble today.
Mouse: I think you are right. It’s too late. She may be in trouble.
Crow: Well, don’t worry. I can fly over the forest. I will find her out.
Turtie : Will you inform us as soon as you locate her ?
Crow : Certainly, I will.
(The crow flew over the forest. He heard . the deer’s voice.)
Deer : Help ! Help ! Can someone hear me ? I am trapped. I can’t free S myself. Please help … !
(The crow heard the deer’s cries. He came down.)
Crow: Hey, friend ! How did you get trapped ?
Deer : A hunter trapped me.
(અ હન્ટર ટ્રેડ મી.) એક શિકારીએ મને ફસાવ્યો.
Crow: No problem. I’ll tell our friends about you. We will do something and save you from the hunter’s net.

Turtle : Oh, my God ! How can we save her ?

(Within no time, the crow and the mouse reached the place. They saw the trapped deer. The mouse at once started to cut the net.)
Crow: (In a low voice) Hey, be careful. See, the hunter is coming. Hide yourself.
(Everyone hid themselves quickly. They noticed the turtle crawling slowly.)
Turtle : Where are my friends ? I can’t see anyone.
Hunter : But I can see you, little creature !
(The hunter caught the turtle. Then he looked for the deer.)

Hunter : Where is the deer ? Even my net is cut.
(He put the turtle In his sack and carried it off. All the friends came out of their hiding places.)
Mouse: We saved one friend and lost one.
Crow: What will we do now ? How can we save him ?
(They were all sad and speechless.)
Deer : Hey, don’t worry. Let’s move. I have a wonderful idea. I will lie down and pretend to be dead. When the hunter comes closer, I will get up and start running. The hunter will chase me. Our friend, the mouse, can do the rest during that time.
Crow: But this can be dangerous.
Deer : Don’t worry. I’ll be careful.
The deer lay down. When the hunter came that way, the deer started running. The hunter threw the sack and ran after the deer. Within no time, the mouse made a hole in the sack and the turtle came out. The deer hid herself in a bush.

Activity 7.

(A) વર્ગને ત્રણ જૂથમાં વહેંચો. દરેક જૂથ આ જ વાર્તાને જુદી જુદી રીતે કહે.

(1) એક જૂથ આ વાર્તાને crow બનીને કહે. વાર્તા આ રીતે શરૂ કરી શકાય :

Mouse, deer and turtle are my friends. We always meet near the lake in our forest. One day we got together near the lake, but our friend, deer, did not come … The deer is always on time. So the turtle and the mouse thought that she must be in trouble.

I said I will fly over the forest and find out the deer. When I was flying over the forest, I heard the deer’s voice. She was crying for help. She was trapped in a hunter’s net. I told the deer that we all friends will help her.

I hurriedly flew back to my friends and told them about the deer. The mouse said that he will cut the net. So I took him to the deer in my beak. The mouse cut the net and freed the deer. Just then the turtle came there crawling slowly.

Suddenly, the hunter also came there. All of us hid ourselves. But the hunter saw the turtle. He caught him and put him in his sack. My friends and I came out of our hiding places. We were sad and speechless. We saved one friend and lost one !

The deer had a wonderful idea! She said she will pretend to be dead. When the hunter comes to catch her, she will run away. The hunter will chase her. In the meantime, the mouse can make a hole in the sack and save the turtle.

All the friends agreed. The deer lay down. The hunter saw the deer. The deer started running. The hunter threw the sack and ran after the deer. The mouse made a hole in the sack and saved the turtle. The deer hid herself in a bush. In this way, we could save both our friends. We rejoiced. But the hunter was foolish! He lost both his prey.

(2) બીજું જૂથ આ વાર્તાને hunter બનીને કહે. વાર્તા આ રીતે કહી શકાય :

My name is Hathisinh Hunter. I am a clever hunter. Yet, some animals once fooled me. It happened like this… Once I trapped a deer in my net. I went to trap another animal. When I came back, I saw that the deer was not there. My net was cut! But then I saw a turtle. So I caught the turtle and put him in my sack.

After some time, I saw the deer lying there. It looked dead. As I was walking to catch it, it started running. I threw my sack and ran after the deer. The deer hid in a bush. I could not find it.

At last, I came back. When I picked up my sack, it was empty! There was a hole in it! The turtle was out and gone ! Then I understood that the animals had saved their friends. First the mouse cut the net and saved the deer. Then the deer and the mouse saved the turtle. How foolish I was ! I lost both the prey. The animals fooled me. They rejoiced.

Hi, friends! I am Lake Lola. I am a witness to every event in this forest. One day, a hunter was searching for a prey… He trapped the deer. So the deer did not come to meet her friends-the turtle, the mouse and the crow. The three friends were worried. The crow said he will fly over the forest and find out the deer. As the crow was flying in the forest, he heard the deer’s voice. She was trapped in the net!

The crow came back to the lake and told the friends about the deer. The mouse said that it will cut the net and free the deer. The crow took the mouse in his beak and flew to the place where the deer was trapped. The mouse quickly cut the net and freed the deer. The turtle also reached there. He was crawling slowly. The hunter came there. He saw that the net was cut. The deer was not there. But he saw the turtle ! So he caught the turtle and put him in his sack.

The three friends were sad. Suddenly the deer had an idea. He lay down and pretended to be dead. The hunter saw the deer. When he came to catch her, the deer ran into the bush and hid there. The hunter threw his sack and ran after the deer.

The mouse made a hole in the sack and saved the turtle. When the hunter came back, the turtle was also not there ! The hunter was foolish. He lost both the prey-the deer and the turtle. The clever friends helped one another and saved the deer and the turtle.

Activity 9.

Copy the paragraph.

Veni waited for the monsoon. Rain came in the month of June. Veni planted a seed. The rain pelted Veni’s skin. She shivered but didn’t leave. The sun came out. It warmed the soil. He said, “Veni, I will take out the cold from your bones.” Veni requested, “Will you please give some shine to my seed?” Sun smiled, “I am. I will. You need not plead.” Rain, sun, moon, stairs: Veni experienced them all. So did her seed. The seedling broke the soil. It has a question-shaped curlicue. Renu sat beside it and waited more : days, months, decades. Now, Venu’s Pushpa is waiting for the monsoon.
