The Earth - Summary in Hindi
(पृथ्वी एच.एफ. बेट्स द्वारा लिखी गई एक बहुत ही मार्मिक कहानी है यह कहानी दिखाती है कि कैसे जॉनसन (माता-पिता) आलसी थे और उनका बेटा एक स्वार्थी और चालाक साथी के रूप में विकसित हो रहा था। प्राथमिकी में, उनके पास अपनी जमीन थी, लेकिन उन्हें पता नहीं चला और अंत में वह भी खो दिया।
कहानी एक किसान जॉनसन के इर्द-गिर्द घूमती है, जो अपनी पत्नी और बेटे के साथ अंग्रेजी ग्रामीण इलाकों में रहता था। उनके पास अपनी जमीन थी लेकिन इसके महत्व को कभी महसूस नहीं किया। उनके बेटे का नाम बेंजी था। तीस साल बाद उन्होंने महसूस किया कि उन्हें डॉक्टर की जरूरत है क्योंकि वह मानसिक रूप से विकसित नहीं थे। वे सरल हृदय और सरल विचारों वाले व्यक्ति लगते थे। धीरे-धीरे वह बचकाना लेकिन चालाक होता जा रहा था। डॉक्टर ने उन्हें सलाह दी कि वे अपने इकलौते बेटे को मुर्गी पालन जैसा कोई पेशा दें। यह अच्छी तरह से काम करना शुरू कर दिया पहले उसके पास कुछ मुर्गियां थीं। धीरे-धीरे संख्या बढ़ती गई और उसकी आमदनी भी। माता-पिता ने अच्छी तरह बढ़ने के लिए सब कुछ किया। उन्होंने पसीने से ज्यादा आस्था को अहमियत दी। उनके पिता ने खुद को शब्दों में व्यस्त रखा। वह एक दार्शनिक की तरह था जो लोगों की भीड़ का प्रचार करता था लेकिन उसके बेटे ने अपना छोटा व्यवसाय बढ़ते हुए जारी रखा। वे बेंजी की प्रतिक्रियाओं से अक्सर आहत होते थे। उसने अपने माता-पिता के प्रति बेईमानी और प्रेम का धन्यवाद करने की अंतरंग भावना नहीं दिखाई। वे उसकी समझ से परे थे। जब उन्होंने उसे पैसे दिए तो उसने उसे अपने लिए जमीन खरीदने पर खर्च करने का इरादा किया। उन्होंने अपने व्यवसाय में सुधार जारी रखा। एक बार उन्हें पता चला कि उनकी जमीन बिक्री के लिए है। वे चौंक गए। उन्हें पता चला कि उनका बेटा जो इसे खरीद रहा था। इसी बीच उन्होंने फ्लोरेंस से शादी कर ली थी जो माता-पिता को पसंद नहीं थी। उन्हें डर था कि यह बुद्धिमान लड़की उसे उनसे दूर ले जाएगी। इसके परिणामस्वरूप झगड़ा हुआ और बेंजी ने कहा कि उसके माता-पिता ने कहा कि यह उसका घर था, लेकिन उन्होंने उसे रोकने की कोशिश की लेकिन व्यर्थ। अंत में, वह उन्हें अपनी वैन में शहर ले गया और माता-पिता को एहसास हुआ कि पहले उनके पास जमीन थी लेकिन अब कुछ भी नहीं है। इससे पता चलता है कि हमें मेहनती और मेहनती होना चाहिए।)

Q3. Looks are deceptive . How does this apply to Benjy ?
Ans - As time passed on and Benjy acquired the land. His father and mother not only felt that it was a good idea but they felt very proud of him. first waord or takes its first step . Benjy's simple minded man. had taken his first step in normal, about things. It was wonderful, that he had taken the step without help , without force or prompting . At his life they had treated him as a child that will not grow up and now suddenly , he had grown of though they could scarcely realize it. Benjy was a man of property and at last forgot his parents.
Q4. What is the role of Florence in this story ? How did she affect Benjy's life?
Ans - One of such peo;e was a girl named Florence . She had thick heavy legs and loose lops and uneffective grey eyes that matched Benjy's in their apparent simplicity. When Florence went down to clean the chicken house. which were raised up of the ground. Benjy could see a gap of Bare flash above her grey stocking. In a little while Benjy was catching Florence about the waste in the warm dark inceptor house and for the first time in his life had some another interest besides him. She proved to be a guide and shaper of his life. She made his life purposeful. ?She made him understand tit for tat and made his parents leave the house
Q5. Johnson himself was responsible to his tragety or troubles . Do you agree with this ? Give reasons.
Ans - Yes , I agree that Johnson was responsible for his troubles. He believed in preaching . He believed on words more than action. He was lazy the never treated his son nicely . Thought him a dull and useless boy. The same treatment was given by his son to him.
Q6. How is a simple minded man defined in the story ? Do you agree with his definition ?

Q7. Sketch the character of Johnson.
Ans - He had spent many years being a little too kind , too anxious and too sacrificial towards him, so that he had grown up to see worse, in their eyes, than he really was. Benjy had the large house bimb that the belong to the simple minded , and thick soil fair hair on his face. He had the look of being a simple hearted man as well as a simple minded man. His eyes wee blue and all they long he had a simple on his face. But some were behind the blue eyes . The simple smile and he soft childish hair , his simplicity seemed gradually to have become kind of cunning. At last he showed his curnning nature by throu wing them out of the house
Q8. Sketch the character of Benjy.
Ans - Benjy is a person of substance . He is the most impressive character of the stroy. He was not like an ordinary child. He understood his family needs and his role to it. Since his childhood instead of playing he took to the work of earning for his family. However , sometimes his behavior was not liked by his parents.
Being treated his parents justly . The only problem was that his parents did like egg bnsins. But Benjy was a laborious cha. He earned huje money in his business and purehated the land of his parents. The parents felt very proud of him. Firstly , they were thinking that Benjy is not shrewd minded. But now he has become a man of property.
But the dark point of his character is that he ousted his old parents from the house, he paid not attention to his ageing parents. He only loved to Florence who help in building his career.
