अकबर और बीरबल की कहानी: सबसे बड़ी ताकत

 

एक बार की बात है, बादशाह अकबर अपने दरबार में बैठे थे और उन्होंने बीरबल से पूछा, "बीरबल, दुनिया की सबसे बड़ी ताकत क्या है?"

बीरबल ने थोड़ी देर सोचा और कहा, "हुजूर, दुनिया की सबसे बड़ी ताकत 'ज्ञान' है।"

अकबर ने फिर से सवाल किया, "क्या कोई और ताकत इससे बड़ी हो सकती है?"

बीरबल ने मुस्कुराते हुए जवाब दिया, "जी, हुजूर। इससे बड़ी ताकत 'सच' है।"

अकबर ने और जिज्ञासु होकर पूछा, "और इससे भी बड़ी ताकत क्या है?"

बीरबल ने नम्रता से कहा, "हुजूर, सबसे बड़ी ताकत 'माँ की ममता' है।"

अकबर ने बीरबल से इस बात को साबित करने के लिए कहा। बीरबल ने दरबार में एक दिन का समय मांगा और अगले दिन एक अनोखी योजना बनाई।

अगले दिन, बीरबल ने एक शेरनी और उसके बच्चे को दरबार में लाने की व्यवस्था की। जैसे ही शेरनी और उसका बच्चा दरबार में आए, सभी दरबारी डर गए। बीरबल ने शेरनी के बच्चे को उसके पास से दूर करने की कोशिश की, तो शेरनी ने अपनी पूरी ताकत से बीरबल को रोक दिया।

बीरबल ने अकबर से कहा, "देखिए, हुजूर, इस शेरनी को अपनी संतान से अलग होने का कितना डर है। यही है 'माँ की ममता', जो दुनिया की सबसे बड़ी ताकत है।"

अकबर बीरबल की इस समझदारी और सूझ-बूझ से बहुत प्रभावित हुए और उन्होंने कहा, "बीरबल, तुमने आज फिर साबित कर दिया कि तुम्हारी बुद्धि और ज्ञान अतुलनीय हैं।"

इस कहानी से हमें यह सिखने को मिलता है कि माँ की ममता से बड़ी कोई ताकत नहीं होती। चाहे वो इंसान हो या जानवर, माँ अपने बच्चे के लिए सबसे बड़ी शक्ति होती है।

अकबर और बीरबल की कहानी: अनोखा इनाम

एक बार की बात है, बादशाह अकबर और उनके नवरत्नों में से बीरबल दरबार में बैठे थे। अकबर हमेशा बीरबल की चतुराई और बुद्धिमानी की तारीफ करते थे, लेकिन वे एक दिन बीरबल की समझदारी की परीक्षा लेना चाहते थे।

अकबर ने बीरबल से कहा, "बीरबल, हम तुम्हारी बुद्धिमानी से बहुत प्रभावित हैं, लेकिन क्या तुम एक ऐसी बात कह सकते हो जो खुश इंसान को दुखी कर दे और दुखी इंसान को खुश कर दे?"

बीरबल मुस्कुराए और बोले, "जी हुजूर, मैं कुछ समय चाहता हूं।"

अकबर ने उन्हें समय दिया, और बीरबल वहां से चले गए। कुछ दिनों बाद, बीरबल ने बादशाह को एक अंगूठी पेश की, जिसमें लिखा था, "यह समय भी बीत जाएगा।"

अकबर ने जब वह अंगूठी देखी, तो वे सोच में पड़ गए। बीरबल ने समझाया, "हुजूर, जब कोई व्यक्ति खुश होता है और इस अंगूठी को देखता है, तो उसे यह एहसास होता है कि खुशी का समय भी बीत जाएगा, जिससे वह थोड़ा दुखी हो जाता है। और जब कोई व्यक्ति दुखी होता है और इस अंगूठी को देखता है, तो उसे यह एहसास होता है कि दुख का समय भी बीत जाएगा, जिससे उसे सांत्वना मिलती है और वह खुश हो जाता है।"

अकबर बीरबल की इस गहरी सोच से बहुत प्रभावित हुए और उन्होंने बीरबल को ढेर सारे इनाम दिए। बीरबल ने एक बार फिर साबित कर दिया कि वे न केवल बुद्धिमान हैं, बल्कि जीवन के गहरे सत्य को भी समझते हैं।

इस कहानी से हमें यह सिखने को मिलता है कि जीवन में चाहे खुशी हो या दुख, समय के साथ सब बदल जाता है।

The Enchanted Forest Adventure

 Once upon a time, in a small village nestled between rolling hills and meandering streams, there lived a curious little girl named Lily. Lily had an insatiable thirst for adventure, and her favorite place to explore was the mysterious Enchanted Forest just beyond the village.

One bright and sunny morning, Lily gathered her backpack, filled it with her favorite snacks, and set off on a journey into the heart of the Enchanted Forest. The tall trees whispered secrets to each other as she entered, and the sunlight filtered through the leaves, creating a magical dance of light and shadows.

As Lily ventured deeper into the forest, she stumbled upon a clearing filled with colorful flowers of every hue imaginable. At the center of the clearing, a mischievous fairy named Sparkle appeared. Sparkle had a twinkle in her eye and a mischievous grin.

Hello, dear Lily! I've been waiting for someone as adventurous as you, Sparkle exclaimed. Lily, wide-eyed and excited, replied, "Hi, Sparkle! What are you doing here?"

I'm the guardian of this enchanted forest, and today, I have a special quest for you, Sparkle announced.

With a wave of her tiny wand, Sparkle revealed a magical map that floated in the air. The map depicted a path leading to three different magical creatures who needed help.

"Your mission, brave Lily, is to help these creatures. In return, they will grant you a special gift," Sparkle explained.

Lily eagerly accepted the quest and followed the map's path. Her first stop was the home of Wiggles the friendly gnome. Wiggles had lost his magical key, and without it, his garden couldn't bloom. Lily, with her keen eyes, soon found the key hidden among the flowers, and in gratitude, Wiggles gifted her a magical acorn that could grow into any tree she wished.

Next on the map was the tree-dwelling squirrel named Nutty. Nutty was upset because his collection of acorns had been scattered by a mischievous breeze. Lily, being resourceful, helped Nutty gather all his acorns back, and as a token of thanks, Nutty gave Lily a special whistle that could call upon friendly forest animals.

The final stop led Lily to the cave of Glimmer, a shy but kind-hearted dragon. Glimmer had accidentally turned his tail into stone and needed someone with a caring touch to break the spell. Lily gently touched Glimmer's tail, and with a shimmering glow, the stone turned back into scales. Grateful for Lily's help, Glimmer gave her a sparkling scale that could light up the darkest nights.

With her quest complete, Lily returned to Sparkle, who congratulated her on her bravery and kindness. As a reward, Sparkle sprinkled a pinch of fairy dust on Lily, granting her the ability to understand the language of all creatures in the Enchanted Forest.

With her newfound abilities and magical gifts, Lily continued to explore the Enchanted Forest, making friends with creatures big and small. And so, in the heart of the Enchanted Forest, a friendship between a curious little girl and the magical beings blossomed, creating adventures that would be whispered about for generations to come.

Short Story - The Travelers And The Plane Tree

"THE TRAVELERS AND THE PLANE TREE"

Two men were walking along one summer day. Soon it became too hot to go any further and, seeing a large plane tree nearby, they threw themselves on the ground to rest in its shade.

Gazing up into the branches one man said to the other: “What a useless tree this is. It does not have fruit or nuts that we can eat and we cannot even use its wood for anything.”

“Don’t be so ungrateful,” rustled the tree in reply. “I am being extremely useful to you at this very moment, shielding you from the hot sun. And you call me a good-for-nothing!”

Short Story - Don't Change The World

"DON'T CHANGE THE WORLD"

Once upon a time, there was a king who ruled a prosperous country. One day, he went for a trip to some distant areas of his country. When he was back to his palace, he complained that his feet were very painful, because it was the first time that he went for such a long trip, and the road that he went through was very rough and stony. He then ordered his people to cover every road of the entire country with leather.

Definitely, this would need thousands of cows’ skin, and would cost a huge amount of money.

Then one of his wise servants dared himself to tell the king, “Why do you have to spend that unnecessary amount of money? Why don’t you just cut a little piece of leather to cover your feet?”

The king was surprised, but he later agreed to his suggestion, to make a “shoe” for himself.

The Thing in the Dungeon Kids Story

Custard Castle had three hundred dusty rooms, and seven people.

There was the King, the Queen, and Princess Fifi. There was a maid, a wizard,

and a cook. There was a ghost, who didn’t really count.

And there was Jack.

Jack was the servant-boy. He had lots of different jobs to do.

When Princess Fifi went riding, Jack was the Stable-boy. He liked that job,

because he got to groom the horse.

When the Queen mended the bathroom pipes, Jack was the Plumber’s Mate. He

liked that job, because he got to hold the spanners.

When Wizard Watchit was cooking up a spell, Jack was the Wizard’s Helper.

He liked that job best of all, because he got to stir the cauldron.

But all too often, Jack was the Guard. He had to be the Guard whenever the

King was in his treasure room, counting out his money.

Jack hated being the Guard. The Guard had to stand as straight and stiff as a

broom-handle. The treasure room was cold and dark, and the King spent far too long

in there. He stayed there for hours.

“I wish Father would come riding with me,” grumbled Princess Fifi.

“I wish he would help me put up some shelves,” sighed the Queen.

“I wish he would come and play tiddlywinks with me,” said the Wizard. “The

ghost’s no good at tiddlywinks.”

But the King was too busy counting his treasure, while Jack stood on guard.

“Fifty-six, fifty-seven,” counted the King one day, piling up his golden guineas.

“Fifty-eight, fifty – what was that?”

Jack and the King stared at each other. A terrible sound echoed through the

castle.

“YEEOWULL!!”

It was a horrible howl: a sinister screech: a ghastly groan. And it came from the

dungeon.

Down ran Jack and the King from the treasure room.

Down ran Wizard Watchit from his tower.

Down ran the Queen, and Fifi, and Bella the maid. They all stood at the

dungeon door, and listened.

“EYEOWLL!!” went the dungeon.

“Is it a prisoner down there?” asked Wizard Watchit, shivering.

The King shook his head. “I haven’t had a prisoner for years.”

“EEERGH!!” went the dungeon.

“Rats?” asked the Queen.

“I doubt it,” said the King.

“YAROOOWLL!!” went the dungeon.

“Spiders?” wondered Fifi.

“Somehow I don’t think so,” said the King.

“ROARGH!!” went the dungeon.

“Ghosts?” said Bella the maid, with a gulp.

“Ooh! Could be!” said the King. “Someone must go in and find out. Wizard?

You’ve got a ghost. You know all about them.”

“My ghost doesn’t make horrible noises!” protested Wizard Watchit.

“Doesn’t matter,” said the King. “This is a job for a wizard. In you go.”

“Sorry, just remembered,” gabbled Wizard Watchit. “I left the cauldron on. I’ll

have to go and see to it.” He hurried away to his tower and hid under the bed.

“Maybe this isn’t a job for a Wizard,” said the King. “But it certainly isn’t a job

for a King. This is a job for.…”

He looked around. The Queen, Fifi, Bella and Jack all looked away.

“.…for a Guard,” finished the King.

“Bother!” muttered Jack.

“Guard! Go and search the dungeon,” the King ordered.

“Wait a minute,” said Jack. “I need to get something first.”

Jack ran to the hall and opened the cupboard under the stairs. They kept a small

dragon there for lighting fires. Tucking the sleepy dragon under his arm, he returned

to the King.

“I’m ready,” he said. “Open the dungeon door!”

Slowly the door creaked open.

The inside of the dungeon was as black as a beetle. It smelt old and cold and

damp.

Jack tiptoed inside.

“Fire, please, dragon,” he whispered.

The dragon yawned. A small flame slipped from its mouth, and lit up some of

the dungeon; but not the shadowy corners. Jack couldn’t see anything that might have

made the horrible noise.

“More fire, please, dragon!” he whispered.

The dragon yawned a little wider. The flame lit up most of the dungeon; but not

the furthest, darkest corner.

“Loads of fire please, dragon!”

The dragon yawned still wider. This time, the flame lit up nearly all the

dungeon. It almost reached into the furthest corner....

“YEARRGGH!!” went the corner. The dragon yelped, jumped out of Jack’s

arms, and ran for the door.

Jack was left alone in the dark. Just him and the Thing.

It sounded like a Thing with sharp, sharp claws.

It sounded like a Thing with lots of teeth.

It sounded like a Thing that was about to pounce and chomp right through his

neck with just one bite…

Jack gulped. He took a step forward.

“GEROWWLL!!”

With a horrible howl, the Thing pounced.

It pounced onto Jack’s shoe, and chomped right through his sock with just one

bite.

Jack reached down. He felt a fluffy ball sitting on his foot, and picked it up.

The Thing had sharp, sharp claws all right – as sharp as tiny pins. It had lots of

teeth – as thin as little needles. But it was no bigger than his fist.

Jack carried the Thing to the door. It looked like a ball of blue fluff, blinking

and screwing up its eyes at the light.

He held it out to the King.

“Here you are,” he said.

“That?” said the King. “Is that it?”

“RROARRHH!!” snarled the Thing. It gnashed its tiny teeth. The King fell

over backwards and sat down on the floor.

“Well, don’t just stand there!” he told Jack. “Take it away!”

“Where to?”

“I don’t care,” said the King. “You’re the Guard. You get rid of that terrible

Thing.”

“Do you want it?” Jack asked the Queen.

“Certainly not,” she said. “I can’t do my plumbing with that noise going on.”

“How about you, Princess?”

“Certainly not,” said Fifi. “It doesn’t match any of my frilly frocks.”

“Bella?”

Bella the maid shook her head. “Not me. I’ve got nowhere to keep it.”

“Bother,” said Jack. He frowned at the Thing, wondering what to do with it.

“You look like a Thing for a wizard,” he decided.

So off he went to Wizard Watchit’s tower, carrying the Thing. Every time he

passed a sunny window, the Thing screwed up its eyes.

Jack knocked on the Wizard’s door. When no-one answered, he went right in.

The Thing tried to hide from the light.

“Wizard Watchit?” said Jack. “I’ve got a Thing for you. What are you doing

under the bed?”

“Just dusting,” said the wizard’s voice. The Thing dived out of Jack’s hand, and

scuttled into the shadows under the bed.

“Yikes!” yelped the Wizard, leaping up. “It’s after me!”

“It just likes the dark,” said Jack, scooping up the Thing. Its eyes were tightly

shut.

“It can’t stay here!” protested Wizard Watchit. “I’ve already got a ghost in my

tower. I don’t need a Thing as well!”

“Then what shall I do with it?”

“I don’t know,” said Wizard Watchit. “You’re the Guard. You decide!”

“Bother,” muttered Jack.

He carried the Thing back down the stairs, and plodded through the castle.

He passed the treasure room. The door was open. He’d left it open when he ran

down to the dungeon in a hurry.

“Oops,” said Jack. “I hope nobody’s stolen the treasure!” He peered into the

cold, dark room.

“WEEEGH!!” cried the Thing. It scurried into the treasure room, ran to the

darkest corner and sat down on a heap of coins.

“Do you like it here?” said Jack.

“EEEBOOG!!”

“Try it with the door closed,” suggested Jack. “It’s even darker then.” He shut

the door and stood outside, listening.

The Thing was humming happily. “POOBLE DOOBLE COOBLE CLUNG.”

Just then, the King came puffing up.

“I never finished counting out my money,” he said. “Stand guard for me, Jack!”

“You’ve got a new guard now,” said Jack.

“Have I? Where?” The King looked round.

“In there.”

The King opened the door.

“RROARRGH!!” went the treasure room.

The King closed the door again quickly.

“Jolly good,” he said. “What an excellent guard. I, um, I don’t think I’ll do any

more counting just now. I’ll go for a ride with Fifi instead.”

When the King returned from his ride, he went to the treasure room and opened

the door a crack…

“YEROWLL!!”

“Maybe later,” said the King, and he went to help the Queen put up her shelves.

When the shelves were up, he tiptoed to the treasure room. He opened the door

as quietly as he could.

“OOURRARGH!!”

“Time for a game of tiddlywinks,” the King decided. “The counting can wait till

next week. Or next year.”

The Thing stayed in the treasure room, where it was perfectly happy in the cold

and dark. It only howled when people opened the door. So it was very good at

keeping thieves away.

It was also very good at keeping the King away. And that made everybody

happy….

Especially Jack.

विक्की अपने स्कूल में होने वाले स्वतंत्रता दिवस समारोह को ले कर बहुत उत्साहित था। वह भी परेड़ में हिस्सा ले रहा था।

दूसरे दिन वह एकदम सुबह जग गया लेकिन घर में अजीब सी शांति थी। वह दादी के कमरे में गया, लेकिन वह दिखाई नहीं पड़ी।
"माँ, दादीजी कहाँ हैं?" उसने पूछा।
"रात को वह बहुत बीमार हो गई थीं। तुम्हारे पिताजी उन्हें अस्पताल ले गए थे, वह अभी वहीं हैं उनकी हालत काफी खराब है।

विक्की एकाएक उदास हो गया।

उसकी माँ ने पूछा, "क्या तुम मेरे साथ दादी जी को देखने चलोगे? चार बजे मैं अस्पताल जा रही हूँ।"

विक्की अपनी दादी को बहुत प्यार करता था। उसने तुरंत कहा, "हाँ, मैं आप के साथ चलूँगा।" वह स्कूल और स्वतंत्रता दिवस के समारोह के बारे में सब कुछ भूल गया।

स्कूल में स्वतंत्रता दिवस समारोह बहुत अच्छी तरह संपन्न हो गया। लेकिन प्राचार्य खुश नहीं थे। उन्होंने ध्यान दिया कि बहुत से छात्र आज अनुपस्थित हैं।

उन्होंने दूसरे दिन सभी अध्यापकों को बुलाया और कहा, "मुझे उन विद्यार्थियों के नामों की सूची चाहिए जो समारोह के दिन अनुपस्थित थे।"

आधे घंटे के अंदर सभी कक्षाओं के विद्यार्थियों की सूची उन की मेज पर थी। कक्षा छे की सूची बहुत लंबी थी। अत: वह पहले उसी तरफ मुड़े।

जैसे ही उन्होंने कक्षा छे में कदम रखे, वहाँ चुप्पी सी छा गई। उन्होंने कठोरतापूर्वक कहा, "मैंने परसों क्या कहा था?"
"यही कि हम सब को स्वतंत्रता दिवस समारोह में उपस्थित होना चाहिए," गोलमटोल उषा ने जवाब दिया।
"तब बहुत सारे बच्चे अनुपस्थित क्यों थे?" उन्होंने नामों की सूची हवा में हिलाते हुए पूछा।

फिर उन्होंने अनुपस्थित हुए विद्यार्थियों के नाम पुकारे, उन्हें डाँटा और अपने डंडे से उनकी हथेलियों पर मार लगाई।
"अगर तुम लोग राष्ट्रीय समारोह के प्रति इतने लापरवाह हो तो इसका मतलब यही है कि तुम लोगों को अपनी मातृभूमि से प्यार नहीं है। अगली बार अगर ऐसा हुआ तो मैं तुम सबके नाम स्कूल के रजिस्टर से काट दूँगा।"

इतना कह कर वह जाने के लिए मुड़े तभी विक्की आ कर उन के सामने खड़ा हो गया।

"क्या बात है?"
"महोदय, विक्की भयभीत पर दृढ़ था, मैं भी स्वतंत्रता दिवस समारोह में अनुपस्थित था, पर आप ने मेरा नाम नहीं पुकारा।" कहते हुए विक्की ने अपनी हथेलियाँ प्राचार्य महोदय के सामने फैला दी।

सारी कक्षा साँस रोक कर उसे देख रही थी।

प्राचार्य कई क्षणों तक उसे देखते रहे। उनका कठोर चेहरा नर्म हो गया और उन के स्वर में क्रोध गायब हो गया।
"तुम सजा के हकदार नहीं हो, क्योंकि तुम में सच्चाई कहने की हिम्मत है। मैं तुम से कारण नहीं पूछूँगा, लेकिन तुम्हें वचन देना होगा कि अगली बार राष्ट्रीय समारोह को नहीं भूलोगे। अब तुम अपनी सीट पर जाओ।

विक्की ने जो कुछ किया, इसकी उसे बहुत खुशी थी।

सब को छड़ी देने के बाद काजी बोला, "इन छड़ियों को आप सब अपने अपने घर ले जाएँ और कल सुबह वापस ले आएँ। इन सभी छड़ियों की खासियत यह है कि यह चोर के पास जा कर ये एक उँगली के बराबर अपने आप बढ़ जाती हैं। जो चोर नहीं होता, उस की छड़ी ऐसी की ऐसी रहती है। न बढ़ती है, न घटती है। इस तरह मैं चोर और बेगुनाह की पहचान कर लेता हूँ।"

काजी की बात सुन कर सभी अपनी अपनी छड़ी ले कर अपने अपने घर चल दिए।

उन्हीं में व्यापारी के यहाँ चोरी करने वाला चोर भी था। जब वह अपने घर पहुँचा तो उस ने सोचा, "अगर कल सुबह काजी के सामने मेरी छड़ी एक उँगली बड़ी निकली तो वह मुझे तुरंत पकड़ लेंगे। फिर न जाने वह सब के सामने कैसी सजा दें। इसलिए क्यों न इस विचित्र छड़ी को एक उँगली काट दिया जााए। ताकि काजी को कुछ भी पता नहीं चले।'

चोर यह सोच बहुत खुश हुआ और फिर उस ने तुरंत छड़ी को एक उँगली के बराबर काट दिया। फिर उसे घिसघिस कर ऐसा कर दिया कि पता ही न चले कि वह काटी गई है।

अपनी इस चालाकी पर चोर बहुत खुश था और खुशीखुशी चादर तान कर सो गया। सुबह चोर अपनी छड़ी ले कर खुशी खुशी काजी के यहाँ पहुँचा। वहाँ पहले से काफी लोग जमा थे।

काजी १-१ कर छड़ी देखने लगे। जब चोर की छड़ी देखी तो वह १ उँगली छोटी पाई गई। उस ने तुरंत चोर को पकड़ लिया। और फिर उस से व्यापारी का सारा माल निकलवा लिया। चोर को जेल में डाल दिया गया।
