Packing
This chapter is about three friends.
Jerome, George and Harris. They
are all going on a trip so they need
to pack the luggage.
यह अध्याय तीन दोस्तों जेरोम, जॉर्ज और
हैरिस के बारे में है। वे सभी यात्रा पर जा
रहे हैं इसलिए वे सामान पैक कर रहे हैं।
Jerome part of packing
Jerome thought he an expert in
packing the luggage, so he asked
george and harris to sit back
and watch how he packed the
bags and his friends took it seriously
and george spread himself over
the easy-chair, and Harris cocked
his legs on the table but from
inside of his heart,he wanted
that george and harris work on
his instructions to pack the
luggage.
जेरोम ने सोचा कि वह सामान पैक
करने में एक विशेषज्ञ है, इसलिए
उसने जॉर्ज और हैरिस को वापस
बैठने के लिए कहा और देखा कि
कैसे उसने बैग पैक किए और
उसके दोस्तों ने गंभीरता से लिया
और जॉर्ज ने खुद को आसान कुर्सी
पर फैला दिया, और हैरिस ने अपने
पैरों को मेज पर रख दिया , लेकिन
दिल के अंदर से, जेरोम चाहता था कि
जॉर्ज और हैरिस सामान पैक करने के
लिए उसके निर्देशों पर काम करें।
He got irritated by seeing them
sitting idle and he remembered
the incidents when some other
man did the same thing with him,
he let him do his work and didn't
help him. Plus he accepted, he
can binge watching some other
person doing work like slavery
and instructing them. After thinking,
he started packing luggage, and
It was a time consuming job.
जेरोम, उन्हें बेकार बैठे देखकर चिढ़ गया
और उसने उन घटनाओं को याद किया
जब किसी अन्य व्यक्ति ने उसके साथ
ऐसा ही किया, उसने उसे अपना काम
करने दिया और उसकी मदद नहीं की।
साथ ही जेरोम ने स्वीकार किया, उन्हें
किसी और को गुलामी जैसा काम
करते हुए देखना और उन्हें निर्देश देना
अच्छा लगता है। सोचने के बाद, उसने
सामान पैक करना शुरू कर दिया,
और यह एक समय लेने वाला काम था
When he closed his suitcase
after keeping most of the things
Harris reminded him about the
boot which he had forgotten
and George laughed on this
which made Jerome furious
and he thought about what
Harris told me before closing
the bag. One more thing came
to his mind about the toothbrush
which he didn't remember
whether he packed or not.
He got terrified with the idea
by not finding brush in the
morning and doing unpacking
and packing again. So he
opened up his suitcase again
and took out all the stuff.
जब उसने ज्यादातर चीजें रखने के बाद
अपना सूटकेस बंद कर दिया, तो हैरिस
ने उसे उस बूट के बारे में याद दिलाया
जिसे वह भूल गया था और जॉर्ज इस
पर हँसे जिससे जेरोम गुस्से में आ गया
और उसने सोचा कि हैरिस ने बैग बंद
करने से पहले मुझे नहीं बताया। उनके
दिमाग में एक और बात आई, टूथब्रश
के बारे में जो उन्हें याद नहीं था कि
उन्होंने टूथ ब्रश पैक किया है या नहीं।
सुबह ब्रश न मिलने और फिर से
अनपैकिंग और पैकिंग करने से वह
इस विचार से घबरा गया। सो उसने
फिर से अपना सूटकेस खोला और
सारा सामान बाहर निकाल लिया
He created a mess and finally
found a brush in the boot and
packed the case again. Then
George asked him if he
packed the soap and he
replied he didn't care. Then he
remembered he forgot his
glasses inside the suitcase,
so again he opened and took
out his glasses and finally at
10.05 pm he closed his
suitcase.
उसने एक गड़बड़ की और अंत में बूट
में ब्रश पाया और मामले को फिर से पैक
किया। तब जॉर्ज ने उससे पूछा कि क्या
उसने साबुन पैक किया है और उसने उत्तर
दिया कि उसे परवाह नहीं है। फिर उसे याद
आया कि वह सूटकेस के अंदर अपना
चश्मा भूल गया था, इसलिए उसने फिर
से सूटकेस खोला और अपना चश्मा
निकाला और आखिरकार रात 10.05
बजे उसने अपना सूटकेस बंद कर दिया।
Harris and George part of packing.
हैरिस और जॉर्ज पैकिंग पार्ट
Now it's Harris and George turn
to pack eateries for the trip and
they also want to show Jerome
They can also do packing. They
started it with breaking glass then
Harris packed strawberry jam
on top of tomato and squeezed
them. Now it's George's turn to
pack and he stepped on butter.
Jerome knew chaos would happen
because both dont know how to do
packing. They put things behind
and did not find it when it was
required. They packed the
pies at the bottom, and put
heavy things on top, and
smashed the pies in.
अब हैरिस और जॉर्ज यात्रा के लिए
खाना पैक करने की बारी है और वे
जेरोम को भी दिखाना चाहते हैं कि वे
पैकिंग भी कर सकते हैं। उन्होंने प्याला
तोड़कर पैकिंग करना शुरू किया फिर
हैरिस ने टमाटर के ऊपर स्ट्रॉबेरी जैम
पैक किया और उन्हें निचोड़ लिया।
अब पैक करने की बारी जॉर्ज की है
और उसने मक्खन पर कदम रखा।
जेरोम जानता था कि समस्या होगी
क्योंकि दोनों नहीं जानते कि पैकिंग
कैसे करें। वे चीजों को पीछे रख देते हैं
और जरूरत पड़ने पर उसे ढूंढ नहीं
पाते हैं। उन्होंने पाई को नीचे से पैक किया,
और भारी चीजें ऊपर रखीं, और पाई को
तोड़ दिया।
When George stepped on butter,
they were looking at it the whole
room, then they found it under a
slipper, now they took it out from
the spoon and kept on a chair on
which again Harris sat. again they
started looking at it like fools.
George finds it behind harris,
got it off, and packed it in the
teapot.
जब जॉर्ज ने मक्खन पर कदम रखा,
तो वे उसे पूरे कमरे में खोज रहे थे,
फिर उन्हें एक चप्पल के नीचे मिला,
अब उन्होंने इसे चम्मच से निकाला और
एक कुर्सी पर रख दिया, जिस पर फिर
से हैरिस बैठ गए। वे फिर उसे मूर्खों की
तरह खोजने लगे। जॉर्ज ने इसे हैरिस के
पीछे पाया, इसे उतार दिया और चायदानी
में पैक कर दिया।
Now their pet dog came in
between the packing creating
troubles for them. It sat on
things they needed to be packed.
They hit and shouted at him but
it didn't move a bit. Harris blamed
Jerome, that he encouraged
Montmorency to create trouble
for them, but he said” I didn’t
encourage him. A dog like that
doesn’t want any encouragement.
It’s the natural, original sin that is
born in him that makes him do
things like that.
अब उनका पालतू कुत्ता पैकिंग के बीच
में आ गया और उनके लिए परेशानी
खड़ी कर रहा था। यह उन चीजों पर
बैठता है जिन्हें पैक करने की
आवश्यकता होती है। उन्होंने उसे
मारा और चिल्लाया लेकिन वह
थोड़ा सा भी नहीं हिला। हैरिस ने
जेरोम को दोषी ठहराया, कि उसने
मोंटमोरेंसी को उनके लिए परेशानी
पैदा करने के लिए प्रोत्साहित किया,
लेकिन उन्होंने कहा, "मैंने उन्हें
प्रोत्साहित नहीं किया। ऐसा कुत्ता
कोई प्रोत्साहन नहीं चाहता। यह
उसका प्राकृतिक, मूल है।
Went to sleep
All packaging finished at 12.50.
Harris was sleeping with them
and they all decided to wake
up at 6.30 after having
arguments.
सभी पैकेजिंग 12.50 बजे समाप्त हुई।
हैरिस उनके साथ सो रहा था और उन
सभी ने बहस करने के बाद 6.30 बजे
उठने का फैसला किया।
