Tamilnadu Samacheer Kalvi 11th Maths Solutions Chapter 1 Sets, Relations and Functions Ex 1.1

Question 1.
Write the following in roaster form.
(i) {x ∈ N : x² < 121 and x is a prime}
Answer:
Let A = { x ∈ N : x² < 121 and x is a prime }
A = { 2, 3, 5, 7 }

(ii) The set of positive roots of the equation (x – 1) ( x + 1) (x – 1 ) = 0
Answer:
The set of positive roots of the equations
(x – 1) (x + 1) (x² – 1) = 0
(x – 1 ) (x + 1 ) (x + 1) (x – 1) = 0
(x + 1 )² (x – 1)² = 0
(x + 1)² = 0 or (x – 1)² = 0
x + 1 = 0 or x – 1 = 0
x = -1 or x = 1
A = { 1 }

(iii) {x ∈ N : 4x + 9 < 52}
Answer:
4x + 9 < 52
4x + 9 – 9 < 52 – 9
4x < 43
x < \(\frac{43}{4}\) (i.e.) x < 10.75 4
But x ∈ N
∴ A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}

(iv)
Answer:
Let A =
⇒ \(\frac{x-4}{x+2}\) = 3
⇒ x – 4 = 3(x + 2)
⇒ x – 4 = 3x + 6
⇒ 3x – x = – 4 – 6
2x = – 10
⇒ x = \(-\frac{10}{2}\) = -5
A = { -5 }

Question 2.
Write the set {-1, 1} in set builder form.
Answer:
A = {x : x² – 1 = 0, x ∈ R}

Question 3.
State whether the following sets are finite or infinite.
(i) {x ∈ N : x is an even prime number }
Answer:
Let A = { x ∈ N : x is an even prime number )
A = {2}
A is a finite set.

(ii) {x ∈ N: x is an odd prime number }
Answer:
Let B = {x ∈ N : x is an odd prime number}
B = {1, 3, 5, 7, 11, …………….. }
B is an infinite set.

(iii) {x ∈ Z : x is even and < 10 }
Answer:
C = {x ∈ Z : x is even and< 10}
C = { ……….. -8, -6, -4, -2, 0, 2, 4, 6, 8}
C is an infinite set.

(iv) {x ∈ R : x is a rational number }
Answer:
D = { x ∈ R : x is a rational number }
D is an infinite set.

(v) {x ∈ N: x is a rational number }
Answer:
E = { x ∈ N : x is a rational number )
E = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, …………..)
Every integer is a rational number.
∴ E is an infinite set.

Question 4.
By taking suitable sets A, B, C, verify the following results.
(i) A × (B ∩ C) = (A × B) ∩ (A × C)
Answer:
To prove: A × (B ∩ C) = (A × B) ∩ (A × C)
B ∩ C = {8}; A = {1, 2, 5, 7}
So A × (B ∩ C) = {1, 2, 5, 7} × {8}
= {(1, 8), (2. 8), (5, 8), (7, 8)}
Now A x B = {(1, 2), (1, 7), (1, 8), (1, 9), (2, 2), (2, 7), (2, 8), (2, 9), (5, 2), (5, 7), (5, 8), (5, 9), (7, 2), (7, 7), (7, 8), (7, 9)} …. ( 1)
A × C = {(1, 1), (1, 5),(1, 8), (1, 10), (2, 1), (2, 5), (2, 8), (2, 10), (5, 1), (5, 5), (5, 8), (5, 10), (7, 1), (7, 5), (7, 8), (7, 10)}
(A × B) ∩ (A × C) = {(1, 8), (2, 8), (5, 8), (7, 8)} ……… (2)
(1) = (2)
⇒ A × (B ∩ C) = (A × B) ∩ (A × C)

(ii) A × (B ∪ C) = (A × B) ∪ (A × C)
Answer:
Let A = {1, 2} , B = {3, 4}, C = {4, 5}
B ∪ C = {3, 4} ∪ {4, 5}
B ∪ C = {3, 4, 5)
A × (B ∪ C) = {1, 2} × {3, 4, 5}
A × (B ∪ C) = { (1, 3),( 1, 4),(1, 5),(2, 3), (2, 4),(2,5)} ——– (1)
A × B = {1, 2} × {3, 4}
A × B = { (1, 3), (1, 4), (2, 3), (2, 4) }
A × C = {1, 2} × {4, 5}
A × C = { (1, 4), (1, 5), (2, 4), (2, 5 )}
(A × B) ∪ (A × C) = {(1, 3), (1, 4), (2, 3), (2, 4)} ∪ {(1, 4 ), (1, 5 ), ( 2, 4 ), (2, 5)}
(A × B) ∪ (A × C) = { (1, 3) (1, 4), (1, 5), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5)} —— (2)
From equations (1) and (2)
A × (B U C) = (A × B) U (A × C)

(iii) (A × B) ∩ (B × A) = (A ∩ B) × ( B ∩ A)
Answer:
A × B = {(1, 2), (1, 7), (1, 8), (1, 9) (2, 2), (2, 7), (2, 8), (2, 9) (5, 2), (5, 7), (5, 8), (5, 9) (7, 2), (7, 7), (7, 8), (7, 9)}
B × A = {(2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 5), (2, 7) (7, 1), (7, 2), (7, 5), (7, 7) (8, 1), (8, 2), (8, 5), (8, 7) (9,1), (9, 2), (9, 5), (9, 7)}
L.H.S. (A × B) ∩ (B × A) = {(2, 2), (2, 7), (7, 2), (7, 7)} …. (1)
R.H.S. A ∩ B = {2, 7}
B ∩ A = {2, 7}
(A ∩ B) × (B ∩ A) = {2, 7} × {2, 7}
= {(2, 2), (2, 7), (7, 2), (7, 7)} ……… (2)
(1) = (2) ⇒ LHS = RHS

(iv) C – (B – A) = (C ∩ A) ∪ (C ∩ B’)
Answer:
Let A = {1, 2, 3) , B = {2, 3, 4) , C = {3, 4, 5}

B – A = { 2, 3, 4 ) – {1, 2, 3}
B – A = {4}
C – (B – A) = {3, 4, 5} – {4}
C – (B – A) = {3, 5} —- (1)
C ∩ A = {3, 4, 5} ∩ { 1, 2, 3)
C ∩ A = {3}
B’ = {1, 5}
C ∩ B’ = {3, 4, 5} ∩ {1, 5}
C ∩ B’ = {5}
(C ∩ A) ∪ (C∩B’) = {3} ∪ {5}
(C∩A) ∪ (C ∩ B’) = {3, 5} —— (2)
From equations (1) and (2)
C – (B – A) = (C ∩ A) u (C ∩ B’)

(v) (B – A) ∩ C = (B ∩ C) – A = B ∩ (C – A)
Answer:
To prove (B – A) ∩ C = (B ∩ C) – A = B ∩ (C – A)
A= {1, 2, 5, 7}, B = {2, 7, 8, 9}, C = {1, 5, 8, 10}
Now B – A = {8, 9}
(B – A) ∩ C = {8} ……. (1)
B ∩ C = {8}
A = {1, 2, 5, 7}
So (B ∩ C) – A = {8} …… (2)
C – A = {8, 10}
B = {2, 7, 8, 9}
B ∩ (C – A) = {8} …. (3)
(1) = (2) = (3)

(vi) (B – A) ∪ C = (B ∪ C) – (A – C)
Answer:
Let A = {1, 2, 3, 4}, B = {3, 4, 5, 6}, C = {5, 6, 7, 8}
B – A = {3, 4, 5, 6} – {1, 2, 3, 4}
B – A = {5, 6}
(B – A) ∪ C = {5, 6} ∪ {5, 6, 7, 8}
(B – A) ∪ C = { 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 } ——- (1)
B ∪ C = { 3, 4, 5, 6 } ∪ { 5, 6, 7,8 }
B ∪ C = { 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 }
A – C = { 1, 2, 3, 4 } – { 5, 6, 7, 8 }
A – C = { 1 , 2, 3 , 4 }
(B ∪ C) – (A – C) = {3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8} – {1, 2, 3, 4}
(B ∪ C) – (A – C) = { 5, 6, 7, 8 } —-(2)
From equations (1) and (2)
(B – A) ∪ C = (B ∪ C) – (A – C)

Question 5.
Justify the trueness of the statement: “An element of a set can never be a subset of itself”.
Answer:
A set itself can be a subset of itself (i.e.) A ⊆ A.
But it cannot be a proper subset.

Question 6.
If n(P(A)) = 1024, n(A ∪ B) = 15 and n(P(B)) = 32, find n(A ∩ B).
Answer:
Given n(P(A)) = 1024 , n(A ∪ B) = 15, n(P(B)) = 32
n(P(A)) = 1024 = 2¹⁰ n(A) = 10
n(P(B)) = 32 = 2⁵ = n(B) = 5
n(A ∪ B) = n(A) + n(B) – n(A ∩ B)
15 = 10 + 5 – n(A ∩ B)
15 = 15 – n (A ∩ B)
n(A ∩ B) = 0

Question 7.
If n (A ∩ B ) = 3 and n(A ∪ B ) = 10 , then find n(P(A ∆ B)).
Answer:

n(A ∪ B) = 10; n(A ∩ B) = 3
n(A ∆ B) = 10 – 3 = 7
and n(P(A ∆ B)) = 27 = 128

Question 8.
For a set A, A × A contains 16 elements and two of its elements are (1, 3) and (0, 2). Find the elements of A.
Answer:
Given A × A contains 16 elements.
∴ A contains 4 elements.
Also, (1, 3) and (0, 2) are two elements of A × A.
∴ A = { 0, 1, 2, 3 }

Question 9.
Let A and B be two sets such that n (A) = 3 and n(B) = 2. If (x, 1), (y, 2), (z, 1) are in A × B , find A and B, where x , y , z are distinct elements.
Answer:
n(A) = 3 ⇒ set A contains 3 elements
n(B) = 2 ⇒ set B contains 2 elements –
we are given (x, 1), (y, 2), (z, 1) are elements in A × B ⇒ A = {x, y, z} and B = {1, 2}

Question 10.
If A × A has 16 elements, S = { ( a, b ) ∈ A × A: a < b } ; (-1, 2) and (0, 1) are two elements of S , then find the remaining elements of S.
Answer:
Given A × A has 16 elements.
∴ A has 4 elements.
Also S = {(a, b) ∈ A × A; a < b}
Given (-1, 2) and (0, 1) ∈ S
A = {-1, 0 , 1 , 2 }
The elements of S are
S = { (-1, 0), (-1, 1) ,(-1, 2),(0, 1), (0, 2), (1, 2)}
∴ The other elements of the sets are
(-1, 0), (-1, 1) , (0, 2), (1, 2)

Practice Makes a Man Perfect Summary in English and Tamil

Long ago, there lived an archer named Uthaman. During his time, the forests and animals filled the lands. He was a skilled archer and could perform wonderful feats of archery. He could hit the centre of the target precisely, no matter how far the target was. He was also a show off. He liked to show his skills for the crowds to admire

வெகு காலத்திற்கு முன் உத்தமன் என்றொரு வில்லாளி வாழ்ந்துவந்தான். அவன் வாழ்ந்த காலத்தில் பூமியில் காடுகளும், விலங்குகளும் நிரைந்து இருந்தன. அவன் வில்வித்தையில் வியத்தகு செயல்களைப் புரிந்தான். எவ்வளவு தொலைவில் இருந்தாலும், குறிபார்த்து இலக்கைத் தாக்குவதில் திறமை பெற்றிருந்தான். கூட்டத்தாரிடம் தன் திறமைகளை காட்டி நன் மதிப்பை பெறவும், அவன் விரும்பினான்.

One day, as usual, he was shooting arrows at the targets. The admirers watched in awe. At that time a man with a beard as white as snow, carrying oil gourds, joined the crowd and stood at the back. As Uthaman finished, the crowd clapped and cheered for him except the oil seller. He neither clapped nor cheered.

ஒரு நாள் வழக்கம்போல அவன் இலக்கை குறிபார்த்து அம்புகளை எய்து கொண்டிருந்தான். ஆர்வலர்கள் பிரமிப்புடன் அதைப் பார்த்தனர்.அப்போது பனிபோல் வெண்ணிற தாடியுடைய ஒரு மனிதர், எண்ணெய்க் குடுவைகளை சுமந்தபடி கூட்டத்தின் பின்னே நின்று பார்த்துக் கொண்டிருந்தார்.  உத்தமன் அம்பெய்து (அம்பு எய்து) முடித்ததும், அந்த மனிதரைத் தவிர்த்து மொத்தக் கூட்டமும் கரகோஷம் எழுப்பியும், குரல் கொடுத்தும் உத்தமனை உற்சாகப்படுத்தியது. அந்த மனிதர் மட்டும் கைதட்டவோ, உற்சாகப் படுத்தவோ செய்யவில்லை.

Suddenly with a deep and loud tone, he said, “It’s just a matter of practice!” Uthaman got annoyed. The irritated Uthaman asked, “Are you an archer? Do you think anyone can do what I do?”

திடீரேன ஒரு அழுத்தமான, உரத்தக்குரலில் அவர்  “இது பயிற்சியால் வருவது” என்றார். உத்தமனுக்கு இது எரிச்சலை ஏற்படுத்தியது. அவன் அந்த எண்ணெய் விற்பவரிடம்  “நீங்கள் ஒரு வில்லாளியா?  இதை யார் வேண்டுமானாலும், என்னைப்போல செய்ய இயலுமென்று எண்ணுகிறீர்களா?” என்று கேட்டான்”

The old man said calmly, “No sir, I am not an archer. I don’t doubt your skills. All I said was that everything was a matter of practice.” Uthaman was red in anger. “What do you know to pass such thoughtless comments on others? Who are you?”

அந்த வயதானவர் அமைதியாக “ஐயா, நான் வில்லாளி இல்லை, உங்கள் திறமையையும் நான் சந்தேகிக்கவில்லை. நான் கூறுவது யாதெனில் எதுவுமே பயிற்சியால் வருவதே என்பதாகும்” என்றார். கோபத்தால் முகம் சிவந்த உத்தமன் “அடுத்தவரைப்பற்றி சிறதும் சிந்தனையின்றி கண்டபடி விமர்சிக்கும் நீங்கள் யார்?” என்று கேட்டான்.

“Sir, there is no reason to be angry. I am a simple oil seller. I am sure you must have guessed that by seeing my gourds. I fill these gourds with oil and sell them. Over the years, I have achieved some skill in filling the gourds. If you allow, I will Show you.” said the old man. Uthaman, in a mocking tone, said, “Hmm… Show us your skills.”

“ஐயா, நீங்கள் கோபப்படுவதில் நியாயம் உள்ளது. நான் எளிமையான, ஒரு எண்ணெய் விற்பனை செய்பவன் ஆவேன். அது என்னிடம் உள்ள எண்ணெய்க் குடுவைகளை நீங்கள் பார்க்கும் போதே தங்களுக்கு விளங்கியிருக்கும். நான் இந்தக் குடுவைகளில் எண்ணெயை நிரப்பி விற்று வருகிறேன்.

பல வருடங்களாக இந்த குடுவைகளில் எண்ணெயை நிரப்பும் பணியில் நானும் சிறிது நிபுணத்துவம் பெற்றுள்ளேன். தாங்கள் அனுமதித்தால் அதை நான் செய்து காட்டுவேன்.” என்றார். உத்தமன் கேலியாக “ம்… உங்கள் திறமையை காட்டுங்கள்” என்றான்.

Everyone was curious. They wanted to see what would happen next. The crowd inched closer to get a clear view of the oil seller. Unfazed by the crowd and by habit, the oil seller was calm.

அடுத்து என்ன நடக்குமென்பதை அறிய அனைவரும் ஆவலாயினர். எண்ணெய் விற்பவர் என்ன செய்யப்போகிறார் என்பதை தெளிவாக அறிய, கூட்டத்தில் இடைவெளியின்றி நெருக்கமாயினர். அந்தக் கூட்டத்தில் சலனமடையாது தன் பழக்கத்தின் காரணத்தால் எண்ணெய் விற்பவர் அமைதியாய் இருந்தார்.

He patiently placed an empty gourd on the ground. He then placed a small coin on the mouth of the gourd. The Small coin made of copper had a small hole at its centre. The oil seller stood up, took some oil in his ladle and began to pour oil into the gourd. From the height he poured the oil, it went straight into the gourd through the hole in the coin. When the oil seller had finished filling the gourd, he lifted the coin. He showed people that the coin did not have any trace of oil.

காலியாக இருந்த எண்ணெய் குடுவையை தரையில் வைத்த அவர், அதன் வாயில் ஒரு நாணயத்தை வைத்தார். அது நடுவில் ஒரு சின்ன துளையுடன் கூடிய செப்பு நாணயம். பிறகு எழுந்து, தன் கையில் உள்ள குவளையில் சிறிது எண்ணெயை எடுத்து அதை அந்த குடுவைக்குள் ஊற்ற ஆரம்பித்தார்.

அவர் ஊற்றும் உயரத்திலிருந்து அந்த எண்ணெய் அந்த துளையிட்ட நாணயத்தின் துளை வழியாக நேராக குடுவைக்குள் சென்றது. குடுவையில் எண்ணெயை ஊற்றி முடித்ததும் அவர் நாணயத்தை எடுத்து கூட்டத்தினரிடம் காட்டினார். அதில் எண்ணெய்த் தடம் சிறிதுகூட இல்லை.

The crowd was shocked to silence. Then, one person cheered and soon, the entire crowd burst into a loud cheer for the oil seller. The oil seller smiled and said, “As I told, there is nothing special about it. It’s only a matter of practice.”

இதைக் கண்டு கூட்டம் நிசப்தமானது. பிறகு ஒருவர் உற்சாகக் குரல் எழுப்ப மொத்த கூட்டமும் பெரும் ஆரவாரம் எழுப்பி எண்ணெய் விற்பவரைப் பாராட்டியது. அந்த எண்ணெய் விற்பவர் புன்னகையுடன், “இதில் சிறப்பானது a எதுவுமில்லை நான் முன்னர் கூறியது போல, இது பயிற்சியினால் வருவதாகும்” என்றார்.

Uthaman was just as surprised as the crowd. He smiled and said, “You have taught me something today. Thank you.”

கூட்டத்தைப்போல தானும் வியப்படைந்தஉத்தமன், அவரிடம் “நீங்கள் புதியதாக ஒரு பாடத்தை இன்று எனக்கு கற்றுத் தந்துள்ளீர்கள். அதற்கு தங்களுக்கு நன்றி” என்று கூறினான். இது பயிற்சியினால் வருவதாகும்” என்றார். அதற்கு தங்களுக்கு நன்றி” என்று கூறினான்.

The elephant somehow got water for just one watermelon plant which had only one watermelon in it. A rabbit who had three babies came there in search of food.

The Two Pigeons Summary in English and Tamil

Once, there lived two white pigeons. They were friends. They spent their days looking for food. During afternoons, they would rest on their favourite tree in the forest. Then they would sing and dance. Soon, it would be night, they would lock their wings and sleep.

ஒரு காலத்தில் இரண்டு வெண் புறாக்கள் வாழ்ந்துவந்தன. இரண்டும் உணவு தேடுவதிலேயே நாட்களை கழித்தன அவைகள் இரண்டும் நண்பர்கள் ஆவர். மதிய நேரத்தில் தமக்கு பிடித்தமான மரத்தில் அவைகள் ஓய்வெடுக்கும். அதன் பிறகு பாடி ஆடும். இரவானவுடன் தம் இறகுகளை மூடிக்கொண்டு அவை அங்கன்சல்லும்.

One day it was raining heavily in the forest. The animals ran to their home. So did one of the hen-pigeons. She ruffled her feathers and shook her body to remove the water. She adjusted her wings and perched on the tree and started waiting for the cock-pigeon. The rain continued to pour heavily and it was getting dark. She started to worry for her friend. “He is never so late. I hope he is safe,” she whispered to herself.

ஒரு நாள் காட்டில் பலத்த மழை பெய்தது. விலங்குகள் தத்தம் உறைவிடங்களுக்கு விரைந்து சென்றன. இந்த இரண்டில் ஒன்றான, ஒரு பெண்புறா மரத்தின் மீதமர்ந்து, தன் சிறகுகளை படபடத்து ஈரத்தை வெளியேற்றி ஆண் புறாவிற்காக காத்திருந்தது. மழையும் விடாமல் பெய்தது, இருள் சூழ ஆரம்பித்தது. தன் நண்பனைக் குறித்து கவலைப்பட்ட அது, “எப்போதும் அவன் இவ்வளவு நேரம் கழித்து வருவதில்லை அவன் பத்திரமாக இருப்பான் என நான் நம்புகிறேன்”. என தனக்குள் சொல்லிக்கொண்டது.

“Ah! The rain is heavy let me wait in this tree till it stops thought the cock-pigeon and perched on a tree. He did not know there was a bird catcher nearby. The bird-catcher silently reached near the pigeon and CLAMPED! He had caught the pigeon. The pigeon tried to fly and futter in vain. The cock-pigeon was tensed and fainted. The hunter put the pigeon in his cage and started to walk home. “I should be home before the rain increases.” he thought to himself.

மழை நிற்கும் வரை நான் இந்த மரத்தில் காத்திருப்பேன்” என ஆண்புறா மரத்தில் அமர்ந்தது. அதன் அருகில் ஒரு வேடன் (பறவை பிடிப்பவன்) இருப்பது தெரியாமலேயே அது அமர்ந்திருந்தது. மெதுவாக அதன் அருகில் வந்த பறவை பிடிப்பவன்
(வேடன்) அதை பிடித்துவிட்டான். பறக்க அது முயற்சித்தும் அது முடியாததால், பதற்றத்தில் அது மயங்கி விழுந்து விட்டது. அந்த புறாவை கூண்டில் போட்ட வேடன் “மழைக்கு முன் நான் வீட்டை அடைய வேண்டும்” என நினைத்துக் கொண்டே சென்றான்.

It started to rain heavily, just then, the hen-pigeon saw a bird catcher coming near the tree. In the cage, he had the cock-pigeon. It was pigeon. Was it her unconscious. Fear gripped the hen pigeon. Was it her friend? The bird-catcher neared the tree. She had to hide, but she also wanted a closer look to see if it was her friend. She flew down to the lowest branch. “Oh no! It is him. What shall I do now? I have to help my friend.” worried the hen-pigeon. The sky thundered and the bird-catcher took cover under her tree. “Looks like I have to wait till the rain stops,” said the bird catcher.

மழை வலுத்து வருகையில், பெண்புறா, ஒரு பறவை பிடிப்பவன், கூண்டுடன் மரத்தின் அருகே வருவதைக் கண்டது. அவன் வைத்திருந்த அந்தக்கூண்டில் ஆண் புறா இருப்பதை அது கண்டது. அப்போது அந்த ஆண் புறா மயக்க நிலையில் இருந்தது. அது தன் நண்பனாக இருக்குமோ? என்கிற அச்சம், பெண்புறாவை சூழ்ந்துக்கொண்டது. தான் வேடனிடமிருந்து மறைந்துகொள்ள நினைத்தாலும், அந்த கூண்டிற்குள் இருப்பது யார் என அறிய அது அருகே சென்று காண எண்ணியது.

அதனால், இது கீழ்கிளையில் சென்றமர்ந்து நோக்கியது. “ஓ,அது அவனேதான் (நண்பன்தான்). நான் இப்போது என்ன செய்வது? அவனுக்கு நான் உதவ வேண்டுமே?” என நினைத்து அது வேதனை அடைந்தது. வானம் இடி இடித்தது. “நான் இந்த மழை ஓயும் வரை காத்திருக்க வேண்டும் போலுள்ளதே” என்று கூறிய படி வேடன் மரத்தடியில் ஒதுங்கினான்.

Soon it stopped raining, the bird catcher wanted to leave, but it was too dark and late in the night. “I will camp here for the night and leave in the morning:” he thought. It was a wet and cold night and he wanted to start a fire to keep himself warm. He could not find any dry twigs. The pigeon in the cage woke up and tried and tried to fly for his wings to hit the cage.

மழை சற்று நேரத்தில் நின்றது. வேடனும் புறப்பட விரும்பினான். ஆனால் வெகு நேரமாகிவிட்டதால் இருட்டிவிட்டது. “நான் இன்றிரவு இங்கு தங்கி, நாளை காலை புறப்படுகிறேன்” அவன் நினைத்தான். அந்த இரவு ஈரமானதாகவும், குளிராகவும் இருந்ததால் அவன் தீ மூட்டி குளிர்காய விரும்பினான். அவனுக்கு உலர்ந்த இலைகள் எதுவும் கிடைக்கவில்லை. இதற்குள் கூண்டில் இருந்த புறா மயக்கத்தில் இருந்து எழுந்து தன் இறக்கைகளை அடித்துக்கொண்டு கூண்டை விட்டு பறக்க முயற்சித்தது.

The hen-pigeon started to cry. Her friend said, “Do not feel sad dear. We have a guest now. The man is shivering and hungry. He needs your help.” The pigeon flew from the tree in search of dry twigs. She got two or three twigs at a time and made a big heap of dry twigs. She got flintstones for the bird catcher to start the fire. The bird-catcher was surprised by the hen-pigeon. He made fire.

இதைக் கண்டு பெண் புறா அழ ஆரம்பித்தபோது, அதன் நண்பன் அதனிடம் “அன்பே! வருந்தாதே. நமக்கு ஒரு விருந்தினர் வந்துள்ளார். அவர் குளிரில் நடுக்கத்தாலும், பசியினாலும் தவிக்கிறார். அவருக்கு உன் உதவி தேவை” என்றது. உடனே, பெண் புறா காய்ந்த இலைகளைத் தேடி பறந்து சென்று இரண்டு, மூன்று இலைகளைக் கொண்டு வந்தது. அவன் தீ மூட்டினான்.

“You are my guest. I have no food to give you. I will jump into this fire so that you can eat me. The bird-catcher was overwhelmed by the hospitality of the pigeon. He caught the hen pigeon and stopped her from jumping into the fire. “Oh, kind bird! What do you want? I will help you in any way I can.” said the bird catcher. “Please set my friend free. My life will be meaningless without him.” replied the pigeon.

அந்த பெண்புறா அவனிடம்” நீங்கள் எங்கள் விருந்தாளி. உங்களுக்கு அளிக்க என்னிடம் (உணவு) எதுவுமில்லை நான் தீயில் குதிக்கிறேன். என்னை உண்டு பசியாறுங்கள்” எனக் கூறியது. அந்தப் புறாவின் விருந்தோம்பலைக் கண்ட வேடன் மிகவும் சந்தோஷமடைந்தான். அந்த பெண் புறா தீயில் விழுமுன்னர் அதை பிடித்த வேடன், “அன்பான பறவையே, உனக்கு என்ன வேண்டும்? உனக்கு நான் எவ்வாறு உதவ இயலும்?” எனக் கேட்க, “என் நண்ப னை விடுவித்து விடுங்கள்” என பெண்புறா அவனிடம் கேட்டுவிட்டு “அவர் இல்லாது என் வாழ்வு அர்த்தமற்றதாகிவிடும்” என்று கூறியது.

He opened the cage and set the pigeon free. “I was cruel and selfish. I will never trap any bird again” said the bird catcher. He stayed the night there. In the morning, the pigeons got him nuts, fruits, and seeds to eat. The bird-catcher thanked the pigeons and walked away.

வேடன் உடனே கூண்டின் கதவைத் திறந்து ஆண்புறாவை விடுவித்துவிட்டு “நான் எவ்வளவு சுயநலமாக இருந்துவிட்டேன்.” எனக் கூறிகொண்டான். அன்றிரவு அங்கேயே அவர் தங்கினான். மறுநாள் காலையில், புறாக்கள் அவனுக்குப் பழங்கள், விதைகள், கொட்டைகள் ஆகியவற்றை உண்ண அளித்தன. வேடனும் அவர்களுக்கு நன்றி கூறிவிட்டு சென்றான்.

Robinson Crusoe Summary in English and Tamil

Robinson Crusoe was a brave young man. He loved adventures. When he was nineteen years old, he left his home and took travel in the sea. One day, his ship started to sink because of a great storm. Robinson managed to swim to an island. When he reached the island, he was so tired that he just slept on the sand. When he woke up, he found a little dog next to him. They both were all alone in that place.

ராபின்சன் குருசோ ராபின்சன் குருசோ ஒரு தைரியமான இளைஞர். அவர் சாகசங்களைச் செய்வதில் விருப்பம் கொண்டார். அவருக்கு வயதான போது, அவர் வீட்டை விட்டுக் கிளம்பி, கடற்பயணம் மேற்கொண்டார். ஒருநாள் ஒரு பெரிய புயல் காரணமாக அவரது கப்பல் மூழ்கத் தொடங்கியது. ராபின்சன் நீந்திச் சென்று ஒரு தீவை அடைந்தார்.

இதனால் மிகவும் களைப்படைந்து அங்கு மணலின் மேலேயே படுத்து உறங்கிவிட்டார். அவர் விழித்து எழுந்தபோது, ஒரு நாய்க்குட்டி அவரது அருகில் இருப்பதைக் கண்டார். அந்த இடத்தில் அவர்கள் இருவரும் தனியாக இருந்தனர்.

Robinson explored the island, and he found the broken ship. He took some food, guns, clothing and tools from it. He made a tent and lived in it. He counted days on a wooden cross. From then on, he was able to keep a calendar. On the island, he found many kinds of goats and hares which he shot and ate.

ராபின்சன் அந்த தீவை ஆய்வு செய்து, அங்கு ஒரு உடைந்த கப்பலைக் கண்டார். அதிலிருந்து கொஞ்சம் உணவு, துப்பாக்கிகள், உடைகள் மற்றும் சில கருவிகளை எடுத்துக் கொண்டார். ஒரு கூடாரம் உண்டாக்கி அதில் வாழ்ந்தார். ஒரு மரச்சிலுவையில் அவர் நாட்களை குறித்துவைத்து வந்தார். அதன் பிறகு, ஒரு நாட்காட்டியை அவரால் பராமரிக்க முடிந்தது. அந்த தீவில் பலவகை ஆடுகளையும் முயல்களையும் அவர் கண்டு அவற்றை சுட்டு, சாப்பிட்டு வந்தார்.

Then, he made a small boat.

பிறகு, ஒரு சிறிய படகை அவர் தயாரித்தார்.

One day, Robinson found a footprint of a human, on the other side of the island. He was frightened. For two years he lived in fear. Then, one day he saw some tribal men chasing a young fellow. Robinson took out his gun and shot twice. The tribal men got scared and ran away. He named him Friday as he met him on Friday. At last, he had a human friend in the island. Robinson taught Friday to speak in English, to shoot and eat like a human.

ஒருநாள், தீவின் மற்றொருபக்கம் ஒரு மனிதனின் காலடிச்சுவட்டைக் கண்டார். அவர் பயந்துபோனார். இரண்டு ஆண்டுகள் பயத்துடன் வாழ்ந்தார். பிறகு, ஒருநாள் ஒரு இளைஞனை சில பழங்குடி மக்கள் துரத்திச் செல்வதை அவர் கண்டார். ராபின்சன் தன் துப்பாக்கியை எடுத்து இருமுறை சுட்டார்.

அந்த பழங்குடி மக்கள் பயந்து ஓடிவிட்டனர். அந்த இளைஞனை அவர் வெள்ளிக்கிழமை சந்தித்ததால், அவனுக்கு ஃப்ரை டே என பெயரிட்டார். கடைசியில், அந்தத் தீவில் மனித இனத்தைச் சேர்ந்த நண்பன் ஒருவன் அவருக்கு கிடைத்துவிட்டான். ஆங்கிலத்தில் பேசவும், துப்பாக்கியால் சுடவும், மனிதனைப்போல சாப்பிடவும், ஃப்ரைடேவுக்கு ராபின்சன் சொல்லிக்கொடுத்தார்.

One day, they both saved some people from the cannibals. Among them, they found Friday’s father and his friends. They stayed with Robinson and Friday for a few days and left the island. Another day, Friday informed Robinson about a ship. They both hid and watched the ship. Robinson learnt that the ship’s men had rebelled against the captain. After killing some of the rebels, Robinson, Friday and the captain retook the ship. At last, Robinson sailed from the island to England with Friday, after twenty-eight years, two months and nineteen days.

ஒருநாள், இருவரும் சேர்ந்து, நரமாமிசம் சாப்பிடும் ஆட்களிடமிருந்து சிலரைக் காப்பாற்றினார்கள். அவர்களிடையே ஃப்ரைடேவின் அப்பாவையும், அவரது நண்பர்களையும் அவர்கள் கண்டனர். அவர்கள் ராபின்சன் மற்றும் ஃப்ரைடே ஆகியோருடன் சில நாட்கள் தங்கிவிட்டு, தீவை விட்டு வெளியேறினர். மற்றொரு நாள், ஒரு கப்பலைப் பற்றி ஃப்ரைடே ராபின்சனுக்குத் தெரிவித்தான்.

அவர்கள் இருவரும் மறைந்திருந்து, அந்தக் கப்பலை கவனித்தார்கள். கப்பலின் கேப்டனை எதிர்த்து கப்பலின் ஆட்கள் கலவரம் செய்ததை ராபின்சன் அறிந்தார். கலகம் செய்த சிலரைக் கொன்றுவிட்டு, ராபின்சனும், ஃப்ரைடேவும், கேப்டனும் அந்தக் கப்பலை தங்களது கட்டுப்பாட்டுக்குள் கொண்டு வந்தனர். கடைசியில், 28 ஆண்டுகள் 2 மாதங்கள் 19 நாட்களுக்குப் பிறகு, ஃப்ரைடேவுடன் ராபின்சன் அந்தத் தீவிலிருந்து இங்கிலாந்துக்குப் பயணித்தார்.

The Strength in his Weakness Summary in English and Tamil

Akilan was an active and energetic boy. He liked sports as much as studies. They were like his eyes. How could he choose one over the other? He had a passion for sports. So he spent most of his evenings in the playground. He also remembered his father’s words “Learn well, live well!”. So, Akilan used to spend his mornings on his studies. His physical education teacher was his inspiration.

அகிலன் ஒரு துறுதுறுப்பான ஆற்றல் மிகுந்த சிறுவன். அவனுக்கு கல்வியைப் போல விளையாட்டிலும் விருப்பம் உண்டு. அவனது (இரு கண்களைப்போல அவை இருந்தன. அவன் அவன் அந்த இரண்டில் ஒன்றை மட்டும் அந்த இரன எவ்வாறு உயர்வாக கருதமுடியும்?

அவனுக்கு விளையாட்டுகளில் ஆர்வம் இருந்ததால்,தன் பெரும்பாலான மாலைப் பொழுதுகளை விளையாட்டு மைதானத்தில் கழிப்பான். “நன்றாய் கற்று, நலமாய் வாழ்க” என்ற தன் தந்தையின் வார்த்தைகளை நினைவில் கொள்வான். எனவே, அவன் காலை நேரத்தை கல்வியில் செலவிடுவான். ஜூடோ கலையில் சிறந்தவரான அவனது விளையாட்டு ஆசிரியர்தான் அவனுக்கு உத்வேகமாக இருந்தார்.

The teacher was good at Judo. His passion for learning Judo grew every day. He was afraid that his interest in Judo would upset his parents. Finally, one day, Akilan told his parents about his passion for Judo and also showed the medals he won in sports. His parents were astonished on seeing the medals and certificates that he won in school.

ஜூடோ மீதான் அவனது விருப்பம் நாள்தோறும் வளர்ந்து கொண்டே இருந்தது. ஆனால், ஜூடோ மீதான தனது ஆர்வம், தன் பெற்றோரை சங்கடப்படுத்திவிடுமோ என அவன் நினைத்தான். முடிவில், ஒரு நாள், அகிலன் தன் பெற்றோரிடம் தனக்கு ஜூடோ கலையின் மீதுள்ள ஆர்வத்தைப் பற்றி கூறி, பள்ளியில் நடைபெற்ற பந்தயங்களில் தான் பெற்ற பதக்கங்களை காண்பித்தான். அவன் பெற்றிருந்த பதக்கங்களையும், சான்றிதழ்களையும் கண்டு அவனது பெற்றோர்
வியப்படைந்தனர்.

After a few months, in an accident, Akilan lost his left hand. That day onwards he did not go out of house often. He used to sit in a corner. His parents were keen to fulfill their son’s passion. His father showed an advertisement for a Judo school that he came across in a newspaper. Akilan saw the advertisement, his passion for Judo energised him.

சில மாதங்களுக்குப் பின்னர், விபத்தில் அகிலன் தன்னுடைய இடது கையை இழந்தான். அதன் பின்னர் அவன் வீட்டிலேயே முடங்கி விட்டான், வேறு எங்கும் செல்வதில்லை. அவன் பெற்றோர், மகனின் விருப்பத்தை நிறைவேற்ற முயன்றனர். அவன் தந்தை அகிலனிடம் செய்தித்தாளில் வந்திருந்த ஒரு ஜூடோ பள்ளியின் விளம்பரத்தை காண்பித்தார். அதைக் கண்ட அகிலனின் ஜூடோ ஆர்வம் உத்வேகம் அடைந்தது.

He asked his father if he could join the school. His father with tears of joy, got him admitted in the Judo school. Akilan was very excited on his first day in Judo school. His master was the best Judo teacher in the town. His master trained him the basics before teaching the advanced skills.

தன் தந்தையிடம் அகிலன் தன்னை அந்த ஜூடோ பள்ளியில் சேர்த்துவிடும்படி கேட்டான். ஆனந்த அதில் சேர்த்துவிட்டார். சேர்ந்த முதல் நாளிலேயே அகிலன் பரவசமடைந்தான். அவனுடைய ஜூடோ மாஸ்டர்(ஆசிரியர்) அந்த நகரிலேயே சிறந்த ஜூடோ நிபுணர். அவர் அகிலனுக்கு மேம்பட்ட பயிற்சிகளை அளிக்குமுன், ஆரம்பநிலை பயிற்சிகளை முதலில் சொல்லிக் கொடுத்தார்.

Everyone wondered how a boy with one arm could master Judo. Akilan learnt and practiced consistently for two years. He practiced only a single stroke for two years. Akilan was surprised and annoyed as his master taught him only one stroke but, soon he mastered the stroke.

ஒருகை மட்டுமே உடைய ஒரு சிறுவன் எவ்வாறு ஜூடோ கலையை கற்று சிறப்படைய இயலும் என அனைவரும் வியந்தனர். ஒரே ஒரு குறிப்பிட்ட பயிற்சியை ஆசிரியர் தொடர்ந்து செய்யச் செய்தார். அவனும் செய்தான். ஆனால் ஏன் அது ஒன்றையே பயிற்சி செய்யச் சொல்கிறார் என்ற வருத்தமும், வியப்பும் அவன் கொண்டிருந்தாலும் பயிற்சி செய்து அதில் அவன் நிபுணத்துவம் அடைந்தான்.

No one could excel him in that stroke. To everyone’s surprise, Akilan picked by the master for the “National Judo Competition”. Everyone ridiculed Akilan and his master, as they were not sure how a boy with one hand could win a national competition! To everyone’s surprise, Akilan easily defeated all his six contenders with his single stroke. Akilan reached the finals.

அந்த குறிப்பிட்ட பயிற்சியில் வேறுயாராலும் was அவனை விஞ்ச இயலவில்லை அனைவரும் ஆச்சரியப்படும் வகையில் “தேசிய ஜூடோ” போட்டிக்கு அகிலனை அவன் ஆசிரியர் தேர்ந்தெடுத்தார். தேசிய ஜூடோ போட்டியில் எப்படி ஒரு ஒற்றைக்கையை உடையவன் பங்குபெற இயலுமென அனைவரும் அகிலனையும், அவனது ஆசிரியரையும் பழித்தனர்.

ஆனால் அனைவரும் வியப்படையும் வண்ண ம் அகிலன் ஆறுபேரை தான் கற்ற அந்த ஒற்றை பயிற்சியின் மூலம் வென்று இறுதிப்போட்டிக்கு முன்னேறினான்.

Akilan’s heart was beating fast, and he could not believe that he was in the finals. The final match began, and it had a total of six rounds. The opponent was very strong and defeated Akilan easily in the first two rounds. The referee blew his whistle then, Akilan’s master rushed to him and said “Believe yourself. The key to success is to focus on your strengths and not your weakness.”

தான் இறுதிப்போட்டிக்கு தகுதிபெற்றதை அகிலனால் நம்ப இயலவேயில்லை. அவன் இதயம் வேகமாக படபடத்தது. இறுதிப்போட்டியில் உள்ள மொத்தமான ஆறு சுற்றுகளில் எதிராளி முதல் இரண்டு சுற்றுகளில் வென்றுவிட்டான். நடுவர் விசிலை (ஊதுகுழல்) (போட்டிக்கு இடையில்) ஊதிய உடன் அகிலனின் ஆசிரியர் அவனிடம் சென்று “உன்னை நீ நம்பு, உன் வலிமையில் நீ கவனம் செலுத்த வேண்டும், பலவீனத்தில் அல்ல” என்று அறிவுரை கூறினார்.

Akilan felt some new energy rushing through him. He did not want to lose this match. AKilan understood the hidden hint his master gave him. He had to focus on his single stroke and not on the strength of the opponent.

தன்னுள் ஏதோ புத்துணர்ச்சி பரவுவதை அகிலன் உணர்ந்தான். அந்த கட்டத்தில் தோற்க அவன் விரும்பவில்லை. தன் ஆசிரியர் பூடகமாக கூறிய குறிப்பை அவன் உணர்ந்து கொண்டான். அவன், தன்னுடைய அந்த ஒற்றை பயிற்சி (அடி யில் கவனம் செலுத்த வேண்டுமே தவிர, தன் எதிராளியின் பலத்தில் அல்ல என்று உணர்ந்து கொண்டான்.

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Four strokes and four knockouts. Akilan had won the finals. He was the champion!

“பாம்! பாம்! பாம்! பாம்!” என்று நான்கு அடிகள் நான்கு ‘நாக் அவுட்கள்’ ( மயங்க வைக்கும் அடி. ஆம், அகிலன் வென்று வெற்றியாளன் (சாம்பியன்) ஆகிவிட்டான்.

Akilan thanked his master for training him and for believing in him. Soon, Akilan’s curiosity took over, on and he asked, “How did I win the and he asked, “How did I win the competition with a single stroke?” His master told him, “My dear, you learnt the most difficult stroke in Judo that very few can master. If your opponent wants to beat you, they should hold wants to beat you, they should hold behind your victory!”

தன்மேல் நம்பிக்கை வைத்து பயிற்சி அளித்த ஆசிரியருக்கு, அகிலன் நன்றி சொன்னான். பிறகு ஆர்வத்துடன் “எவ்வாறு நான் ஒரே ஒருபயிற்சியை (அடியை) வைத்து வென்றேன்?” என அவரிடம் கேட்டான். அதற்கு ஜூடோ ஆசிரியர் அவனிடம் “என் அன்பிற்குரியவனே! நீ ஜூடோ கலையின் மிகவும் கடினமான, யாரும் எளிதில் நிபுணத்துவம் பெற இயலாத முறையை (பயிற்சி)  நீ கற்றுக்கொண்டாய்.

உன் எதிரிகள் உன்னை வெல்ல வேண்டுமென்றால் அவர்கள் உன் இடது கரத்தைப் பற்ற வேண்டும் (அகிலனுக்கு அது இல்லை !) இதுவே நீ வெற்றி பெற்ற ரகசியம்” என்று கூறினார்.

The Gift Summary in English and Tamil

Once a beggar was hungry. He saw a big house and went there to see if he would get something to eat. The house was very big and luxurious. There was a beautiful garden around the house. As he neared the house, he could smell tasty food. He knocked the door. A well-dressed man opened the door. The man’s face shrank door on seeing the old man. He asked in a harsh tone “What do you want?” The old man with his feeble voice replied “It has been two days since I had food, so please give me something to eat”.

பசியுடன் இருந்த ஒரு பிச்சைக்காரர், ஒரு பெரிய இல்லத்தைக் கண்டார். தனக்கு உண்ண ஏதாவது அங்கு கிடைக்குமா? என அறிய அங்கு சென்றார். அந்த வீடு பெரியதாகவும், ஆடம்பரமாகவும் இருந்தது. அந்த இல்லத்தை அவர் நெருங்குகையிலே ருசியான உணவின் மணத்தை அவரால் நுகர முடிந்தது. அவர் அந்த இல்லத்தின் கதவை தட்டியவுடன், நன்றாக  உடையணிந்த ஒருவர் கதவைத் திறந்தார். இந்த பிச்சைக்காரக் கிழவரைக் கண்டதும் அவர் முகம் சுருங்கியது. “என்ன வேண்டும் உனக்கு?” என அதட்டும் குரலில் அவர், கிழவரை வினவினார். மிகவும் மெல்லிய குரலில் பேசிய கிழவர் “நான் உணவுண்டு இரு நாட்கள் ஆகிவிட்டன. அதனால் தயவு செய்து உண்ண ஏதாவது தர இயலுமா?” என்று கேட்டார்.

The rich man got angry and shouted at the beggar “Do you think I am running free food service? Get out of” here”. The old man with the same tone here”. The old man with the same tone “Don’t stand here wasting my time, get out of my sight.” said the man and slammed the door. The old man slowly walked away. In his way, he saw a lady from the house dropping banana leaves with food in the trash can. He was sad.

நான் என்ன இலவச உணவு சேவையா நடத்துகிறேன்? இங்கிருந்து வெளியே போ” என்று கோபத்துடன் வீட்டுக்காரர் சத்தமிட்டார். “ஏதேனும் மீதமிருந்தால்” என கிழவர் மறுபடியும் அதே xமெல்லிய குரலில் கேட்க, “நீ இங்கு நின்று என் நேரத்தை வீணடிக்காதே. என் பார்வையிலிருந்து உடனே வெளியேறு” என கூறிக்கொண்டே கதவை அழுத்தி சாத்தினார். கிழவர் மெதுவாக நடந்து செல்கையில், அந்த வீட்டின் பெண்ம ணி வாழையிலைகளுடன் உணவை குப்பைத் தொட்டியில் வீசுவதை கண்டார். அதைக் கண்டு அவர் மிகவும் வருத்தமடைந்தார்.

He slowly walked to the next house and knocked the door “Is anybody there?” After repeated knocks, a voice answered, “Nobody is home. Try the next house.” “If there is no one, then, who is answering me?” asked the old man. The man got irritated and opened the door and said, “Why don’t you try the big house in the same street?” The old man sadly replied, “I tried, but he did not offer any food.” He asked, “How can you expect me to help you when the richest man of the village denied?” The old man left the place.

அடுத்த வீட்டை நோக்கி நகர்ந்த அவர் கதவைத் தட்டி “யாராவது இருக்கிறீர்களா?” என கேட்டார், தொடர்ந்து கதவைத் தட்டியபிறகு ஒரு குரல் “வீட்டில் யாருமில்லை ! அடுத்த வீட்டில் கேட்டுப்பாருங்கள்” என பதிலளித்தது. உடனே கிழவர் ” வீட்டில் யாரும் இல்லை என்றால் எனக்கு யார் பதிலளித்தது?” என திரும்பக் கேட்க, ஒரு மனிதன் எரிச்சலுடன் கதவைத் திறந்து” இதே தெருவில் உள்ள பெரிய வீட்டில் கேட்டுப்பார்!” என்று கூறினான். உடனே, கிழவர் சோகத்துடன் “நான்முயன்றேன், ஆனால் அந்த மனிதர் எனக்கு உணவு அளிக்கவில்லை ” என கூறினார். அதற்கு அந்த மனிதன் “இந்த கிராமத்திலேயே பணக்காரரான அவரே உனக்கு உதவ மறுக்கையில், நான் உனக்கு உதவ வேண்டுமென எவ்வாறு எதிர்பார்க்கிறாய்?” என்று கேட்டதும், கிழவர் அந்த இடத்தை விட்டு அகன்றார்.

The old man was tired and could not walk anymore. So he sat under a tree and soon slept. A man in shabby clothes woke him and asked “Who are you? Why are you lying here?” The old man replied, “I have no food and no place to stay.” The poor man said, “You look tired and hungry, come to my home and stay with us.” The old man replied, “I don’t want to be a burden to you, I just need some food.” The poor man said, “Okay, just come and have some food with us.” He took the old man to his hut.

அந்தக் கிழவர் நடக்கக் கூட முடியாமல் களைப்படைந்தவுடன் ஒரு மரத்தின் கீழே அமர்ந்து அப்படியே உறங்கிவிட்டார். அப்போது அவலட்சணமான (அசிங்கமான) ஆடைகள் அணிந்த ஒருவன் அந்த கிழவரை எழுப்பி “யார் நீங்கள்? இங்கு ஏன் படுத்துக்கொண்டிருக்கிறீர்கள்?” எனக் கேட்டான்.

“எனக்கு உண்ண உணவும் இருக்க இடமும் இல்லாததால்தான் இந்த நிலமை ” என்றார். அந்த ஏழை மனிதன் அவரிடம், “நீங்கள் களைப்புடனும் பசியுடனும் இருக்கிறீர்கள்… எனவே எங்கள் வீட்டுக்கு என்னுடன் வாருங்கள்” என அழைக்க, கிழவர் அவனிடம் “நான் உங்களுக்கு பாரமாக இருக்க விரும்பவில்லை . எனக்கு சறிது உணவு அளித்தால் போதும்” என்றார். கிழவரை தன் குடிசைக்கு அவன் அழைத்துச் சென்றான்.

The hut was very small and barely enough for the family. The old man saw that the house wouldn’t withstand the monsoon. The house had no furniture, but only a few utensils were there for use. The people in the house, a lady and two children were very happy to welcome the old man in. They made him sit comfortably. The children sat near him.

ஒரு சிறு குடும்பத்திற்கு போதுமானதாய் இருந்த அந்தக் குடிசை, பருவ நிலைகளை சமாளிக்க இயலாததாக இருக்கக் கண்டார். அந்த வீட்டில் எந்த மரச்சாமான்களும் இல்லை. உபயோகத்திற்காக சில பாத்திரங்கள் மட்டுமே இருந்தன. அந்த இல்லத்தில் இருந்த பெண்ம ணியும், இரு குழந்தைகளும் மகிழ்ச்சியுடன் கிழவரை வரவேற்றனர். அவரை சௌகரியமாக அமரவைத்து அருகில் இரு குழந்தைகளும் அமர்ந்த னர்.

The man introduced himself and his family, “I am Kaliyan. I work in the farm nearby. This is my wife Viji and my children Gopi and Rathika.” Soon the children got close to the old man. They asked many questions and played with him. Kaliyan helped the man wash his face and hands.

அந்த ஏழை மனிதன் கிழவருக்கு தன் பெயர் கலியன் என்றும், மனைவியின் பெயர் விஜி, குழந்தைகளின்பெயர் முறையே கோபி, ராதிகா என அறிமுகப்படுத்தினான். குழந்தைகள் இருவரும் கிழவருடன் நெருக்கமாகிவிட்டனர். அவரிடம்
பலப்பல கேள்விகள் கேட்டு விளையாடினர். கிழவர் தன்னுடைய முகம் மற்றும் கை கால்களை கழுவிக்கொள்ள கலியன் உதவினான்.

When the old man entered the hut, Viji was ready to serve the food. They all sat in a circle. Viji served the gruel from an earthen pot. First, she gave it to the old man and then to the children and Kaliyan. After the dinner, Kaliyan laid a mat for the old man to sleep.

கிழவருக்கான உணவை விஜி தயாராக வைத்திருந்தாள். அனைவரும் ஒரு வட்டமாக அமர்ந்த பின்னர், விஜி ஒரு மண் கலயத்திலிருந்து நீராகாரத்தை எடுத்து முதலில் கிழவருக்கும், அதன் பின்னர் குழந்தைகளுக்கும், கலியனுக்கும் அளித்தாள். அதை உண்டு முடித்ததும், கிழவர் படுப்பதற்கு கலியன் ஒரு பாயை விரித்தான்.

The next morning, the beggar asked them to pack their things. They all couldn’t understand why he asked so. Before they could ask anything, the beggar said, “I am not a beggar, I am a land ford from a nearby town. My family and I were helping the poor and the needy. My wife and son died two years back. Without them, I continued my service.

மறுநாள் காலை பிச்சைக்கார கிழவர் அனைவரையும் (கலியன் குடும்பம்) அவர்களுடைய பொருட்களை மூட்டையாக கட்டி வைக்கச் சொன்னார். அது ஏன் என அவர்களுக்கு விளங்கவில்லை . அவர்கள் எதுவும் கேட்பதற்கு முன்னரே, அந்த பிச்சைக்காரர் அவர்களிடம் “நான் பிச்சைக்காரன் அல்ல, பக்கத்து ஊரில் உள்ள நலக ரேப்உள்ள நிலச்சுவான்தார்.

என் குடும்பமும் நானும் ஏழைகள் மற்றும் உதவி தேவைப்படுவோர்க்கு உதவி வந்தோம். என் மனைவியும், மகனும் இரு வருடங்களுக்கு முன்னர் இறந்துவிட்டனர். அவர்கள் இன்றி, இந்த சேவையை நான் தனியாக செய்து வருகிறேன்.

As I grew older, I wanted someone to take care of my wealth and service after me. You have to accept my request and fulfill my desire. Kaliyan was reluctant but the old man persuaded him and his family. The old man was happy that his service would continue many more years even after his death.

எனக்கு வயதாகிவிட்டதால் எனக்குப் பின்னர். என் சொத்தையும், இந்தப் பணியையும் செய்ய யாராவது தேவைப்படுகின்றனர். நீங்கள் என் வேண்டுகோளை ஏற்று என் ஆசையை ஏற்றுக்கொள்ள வைத்தார். கலியன் தயங்கினாலும், அந்தக் கிழவர் அவனையும் அவனுடைய குடும்பத்தினரையும் வற்புறு த்தி ஏற்றுக்கொள்ள வைத்தர் தான் இறந்தாலும், தன் சேவை பல வருடங்களுக்கு தொடரும் என்று அவர் மகிழ்ச்சி அடைந்தார்.
