Activity 5

Smile In The Mirror (Part-1)

It was 11th April, 2011. It was Tejasvini’s 12th birthday. Her father gifted her a beautiful bicycle. It was a unique bike. Blue in colour, a soft seat, a little bell and a rear view mirror.

When Tejasvini saw her bicycle, she said, “Wow!” She felt proud ! She placed her foot on the left pedal and yelled, “Here I go…. Wooo… hooo.” She moved faster and faster. She went to the river bank. She enjoyed riding the bicycle on this rough path. She was riding at her top speed. Then she noticed a red button near the bell. What was that ? She pushed the button.

Lo and behold !
There came out a big fan on the rear wheel. The fan started rotating, “vroom … vroom …” It thrilled Tejesvini. She pedalled the bicycle with full strength. And what a miracle ! The bike’s front wheel rose from the ground… And then the rear one. The bike was flying now. She pedalled faster and the bicycle went up and up … three… four… five … fifty meters !!

She was thrilled. Now she was flying…. over the river !! She looked down, “Oh ! Is that a kite in the river ?” It was a boat. She turned the handle towards her village. She saw her school, “Oh! No! There are so many leaves of trees on the roof! I will clean them tomorrow!” she thought. What else could she see from there ?

(ઇટ વૉઝ ઇલેવન્થ એપ્રિલ, 2011. ઇટ વૉઝ તેજસ્વિની’ઝ ટ્વેલ્થ બર્થડે. હર ફાધર ગિફ્ટડ હર અ બ્યુટિફુલ બાઇસિકલ. ઇટ વૉઝ અ યૂનીક બાઇક. બ્રૂ ઇન કલર, સૉફ્ટ સીટ, અ લિટલ બેલ ઍન્ડ અ રિઅર ન્યૂ મિરર.) અગિયારમી એપ્રિલ, 2011નો દિવસ હતો. તે તેજસ્વિનીનો બારમો જન્મદિવસ હતો. તેના પિતાએ તેને સુંદર સાઇકલ ભેટ આપી. તે અદ્વિતીય સાઇકલ હતી.

રંગે ભૂરી, પોચી સીટ, એક નાની ઘંટડી અને રિઅર ન્યૂ મિરર (પાછળનું દશ્ય દેખાડતો અરીસો).

જ્યારે તેજસ્વિનીએ તેની સાઇકલ જોઈ ત્યારે તે બોલી, “વાઉ!” તેને ગૌરવની લાગણી થઈ. તેણે તેનો પગ ડાબા પેડલ પર મૂક્યો અને બોલી ઊઠી “હું આ ચાલી.. વૂ… ઘૂં.” તે વધારે અને વધારે ઝડપથી ચાલી. તે નદીકિનારે ગઈ. તેણે આ ખરબચડા રસ્તા પર સાઇકલ ચલાવવાનો આનંદ માણ્યો.

પેડલ વધારે ઝડપથી લગાવ્યાં અને સાઇકલ ત્રણ … ચાર … પાંચ … પચાસ મીટર ઊંચે ગઈ !!

તે ઉત્તેજિત થઈ ગઈ. હવે તે ઊડતી હતી… નદીની ઉપર !! તેણે નીચે જોયું, “અરે ! શું નદીમાં પતંગ છે?” તે હોડી હતી. તેણે હૅન્ડલને પોતાના ગામ તરફ ફેરવ્યું. તેણે તેની શાળા જોઈ, અરે ! ના! છત ઉપર વૃક્ષોનાં ઘણાં પાંદડાં છે! હું આવતી કાલે તે સાફ કરીશ !” તેણે વિચાર્યું. ત્યાંથી તે બીજું શું જોઈ શકી?

Question.
Discuss in pairs and write your points below:
Answer:
Tejasvini could sec the village temple near the river. Some boys were playing cricket on the ground. She could also see the post¬office and the Primary Health Centre. She could also see the village market. It was crowded. As she turned around, she could see her own house.

Smile In The Mirror (Part-2)

Now she was over the farms and fields. Green fields… she was enjoying the beautiful view… and… then she noticed a flock of birds on her way… She applied the brakes… the fan stopped and the bike started coming down… Tejasvini closed her eyes and held the handle tightly! But within seconds… Dhadam. She cried out, “Ooo… Maaaa …!”

She opened her eyes, “Oh, my God! It was a dream.” She got up, washed her face and looked into the mirror, “Hammm! It was a dream this time but it will not be a dream forever!” She promised herself, “I will make a bike like this and fly over my village.” She smiled at herself in the mirror.

તેજસ્વિનીએ તેની આંખો બંધ કરી દીધી અને હૅન્ડલ મજબૂતાઈથી પકડ્યું. પરંતુ થોડી જ સેકન્ડમાં … ધડામ (અવાજ). તે બૂમ પાડી ઊઠી, “ઓ … મા …!” (શી ઓપન્ડ હર આઇઝ, “ઓહ, માઈ ગૉડ! ઇટ વૉઝ અ ડ્રીમ.” શી ગૉટ અપ, વૉલ્ડ હર ફેસ ઍન્ડ લુકડ ઇન્દુ ધ મિરર,

“હં! હમણાં તે એક સ્વપ્ન હતું પરંતુ તે હંમેશ માટે સ્વપ્ન રહેશે નહિ!” તેણે પોતાની જાતને વચન આપ્યું, “હું આના જેવી જ સાઇકલ બનાવીશ અને મારા ગામની ઉપર થઈને ઊડીશ.” (શી સ્માઇલ્ડ ઍટ હરસેલ્ફ ઈન ધ મિરર.) તે અરીસામાં જોઈને હસી.
