The Fish and the Duck Class 5 English Lesson 3
Miss Bambi, the fish, was merrily swimming with her friends. She saw Sumit sitting on the shore.
His fishing line had a juicy bit of earthworm on the end. Bambi said to herself, “What a tasty trap”. She went to all the fish and said, “Let go somewhere else or we will be eaten up”. Then she found a shell, a King Shell, and hung it by the hook.
मिस बांबी, मछली, अपने दोस्तों के साथ मस्ती से तैर रही थी। उसने सुमित को किनारे पर बैठे देखा।
उसकी मछली पकड़ने की लाइन के अंत में एक रसदार कीड़ा लगा हुआ था। बांबी ने खुद से कहा, “क्या स्वादिष्ट जाल है”। वह सभी मछलियों के पास गई और बोली, “चलो कहीं और चलते हैं वरना हम खा जाएंगे”। फिर उसे एक खोल मिला, एक किंग शेल, और उसे हुक से लटका दिया।
Sumit said, “I think, I have a big fish on my hook. Let me pull it out. What’s this? It is a King Shell, not a fish. How unlucky I am!”
Bambi had a good laugh. —Ha – Ha – Ha .
सुमित ने कहा, “मुझे लगता है, मेरे हुक पर एक बड़ी मछली है। मुझे इसे बाहर निकालना चाहिए। यह क्या है? यह एक किंग शेल है, मछली नहीं। मैं कितना बदकिस्मत हूँ!”
बांबी को खूब हँसी आई। -हा – हा – हा।
Ducky Duck saw Bambi and paddled to her. Ducky Duck said,“ You are very clever, Bambi. Come, be my friend.”
Bambi said, “Thank you, Mr. Ducky Duck. But I think I am too young to play with you. I am also late. must run home.
Bye!”
डकी डक ने बांबी को देखा और उसके पास पहुँची। डकी डक ने कहा, “तुम बहुत होशियार हो, बांबी। आओ, मेरी दोस्त बनो।”
बांबी ने कहा, “धन्यवाद, मिस्टर डकी डक। लेकिन मुझे लगता है कि मैं तुम्हारे साथ खेलने के लिए बहुत छोटी हूँ। मुझे भी देर हो गई है। मुझे घर भागना चाहिए।
अलविदा!”
