THE TREE AND THE
TRAVELLERS
ped aur yatriyon :
ek bar , ek sukhi bhumi ke bich men ek vyapak trank aur asankhya shakhaon ke
sath ek bada ped tha . ped ne sainkadon aur hajaron yatriyon ko aaram aur
aashray diya . char kasbon aur kai gaonon ke pas sthit hone ke nate , ped
yatriyon ke liye ek aadarsh baithak bindu tha .
ek din , chalne ke lambe samay bad do yatri
ped tak pahunche . unka gantavya pas ke shahron men se ek tha . yah ek garm aur
dhup vala din tha , aur yatriyon ko ped ke niche aaram karne men bahut khushi
hui . thaka hua , ve ped ke niche fistle gaye . ve thodi der ke liye sote the ,
shant chhaya aur mulayam hawa ka anand lete the . thodi der ke bad , yatriyon
men se ek bhukh lagi . unke pas unke sath koi bhojan nahi tha . bhukh yatriyon ne
ped par dekha , yah dekhane ke liye ki kya koi fal tha .
koi nahi dhudh raha hai , vah ped ko shap dena
shuru kar diya . " oh , yah sirf ek bekar ped hai aur isamen humen khilane
ke liye kuchh bhi nahi hai , yahan tak ki ek fal ya yahan tak ki nuts bhi nahi
! isaka koi upyog nahi hai ! " dusare yatri ne unhen santvana di aur use
thanda rahane ke liye kaha . halanki , bhukhe aadami ne ped ko shap dena jari
rakha .
ped , jo yatri ke shapit shabdon ko bardasht
nahi kar saka , ek udas abhi tak majbut aavaj men kaha , " aap mere liye
itana kritagya nahi kar sakte han . jab aap garm aur sukhe surj men yahan
pahunche to bas apani halt ke bare men sochen ! maine aapako aaram karne aur
sone ke liye soye aur sote hue ki peshaksh ki yatri ne apani galti ko mahsus kiya
aur ped se mafi mangi . apane aashirvad ke liye abhari rahen .
