The Farmer and his Daughters Summary in English and Tamil

In the village of Manipuram, there lived a wealthy farmer. He had three daughters. All his daughters were married and living their life happily. The farmer was getting old. He wanted to distribute his wealth to his daughters. But he wanted to know what responsibility he could give to each of his daughters. He called all his daughters and gave each of them a bag of millet. He asked them to use grains in the best way possible and then come back to him after one year.

மணிப்புரம் என்ற கிராமத்தில் ஒரு பணக்கார விவசாயி வசித்து வந்தார். அவருக்கு மூன்று மகள்கள் இருந்தனர். அவரது எல்லா மகள்களுக்கும் திருமணமாகி, அவர்கள் மகிழ்ச்சியாக வாழ்ந்து கொண்டிருந்தனர். விவசாயிக்கு வயதாகிக் கொண்டிருந்தது. அவரது சொத்தை தனது மகள்களுக்கு பிரித்துக் கொடுக்க விரும்பினார். ஆனால் ஒவ்வொரு மகளுக்கும் எந்த பொறுப்பை கொடுப்பது என அறிய விரும்பினார். தனது மகள்களை அழைத்து ஒவ்வொருவருக்கும் ஒரு பை நிறைய
தினை வகையைச் சேர்ந்த தானியத்தைக் கொடுத்தார். அந்த தானியத்தை சிறந்த முறையில் பயன்படுத்திவிட்டு, ஓர் ஆண்டுக்குப்பிறகு தன்னை வந்து பார்க்கச் சொன்னார் அவர்.

After one year the daughters came back to their father’s house. The farmer welcomed all of them.

ஓர் ஆண்டுக்குப் பிறகு அவரது மகள்கள் அவரது வீட்டிற்கு வந்தார்கள். அந்த விவசாயி | மூவரையும் வரவேற்றார்.

First, he called the elder daughter and asked about what she had done with the grains given to her. She replied, “Father, I fed those grains to flocks of birds that I saw on my way back to home.”

முதலில், தன் மூத்த மகளை அழைத்து, அவளுக்கு கொடுத்த தானியத்தை என்னசெய்தாள் என கேட்டார். “அப்பா, நான் என் வீட்டுக்குப் போகும் வழியில் நான் பார்த்த பறவைகளுக்கெல்லாம் உணவாக கொடுத்துவிட்டேன்”, என்று அவள்
பதிலளித்தாள்.

Then the father called the second daughter and asked the same. She replied,”Father, I thought those grains were sacred. So I mixed those with other grains kept for community food service. So that everyone could have it. After this, the third daughter came. The farmer asked her about the grains.

பிறகு அவர் இரண்டாவது மகளை அழைத்து அதே கேள்வியைக் கேட்டார். “அப்பா, நான் அந்த தானியங்கள் புனிதமானவை என்று நினைத்தேன். ஆகவே அதை மற்ற தானியங்களோடு கலந்து, சமுதாய உணவு சேவைக்காக கொடுத்துவிட்டேன். ப்பிட முடியும்”, என்றாள் அவள். இதன் பிறகு மூன்றாவது மகள் வந்தாள். விவசாயி அவளிடம் தானியத்தைப் பற்றி கேட்டார்.

She said, “Father, I don’t have those grains with me now. I need two bullocks and men to get the grains.” Father was confused and asked her, “Why do you need bullocks and men to bring the grains here?” The daughter smiled and replied “I sowed those grains and now it has grown as crops. So, I need a bullock cart and men harvest and bring back the grains.” Father was happy to know that she used the grains wisely.

அவள் கூறினாள், “அப்பா, இப்போது அந்த தானியங்கள் என்னிடம் இல்லை. தானியத்தைக் கொண்டுவர இரண்டு காளையுடனான மாட்டு வண்டியும், ஆட்களும் எனக்கு தேவைப்படுகிறது”. அவளது தந்தை குழப்பமடைந்து, “அந்த
தானியத்தை இங்கே கொண்டுவர எதற்காக உனக்கு மாட்டு வண்டியும் ஆட்களும் தேவைப்படுகிறது?”, என கேட்டார். அந்த மகள்புன்னகைத்தபடியே, “அந்த தானியங்களை to நான் வயலில் பயிரிட்டேன். இப்போது அவை பெருமளவில் வளர்ந்து பயிராகியுள்ளன. அதை அறுவடை செய்து, எடுத்து வர மாட்டு வண்டியும், ஆட்களும் எனக்குத் தேவை”, என்று
பதில் சொன்னாள். புத்திசாலித்தனமாக அவள் தானியத்தை பயன்படுத்தியதை அறிந்து, அவளது தந்தை மகிழ்ச்சியடைந்தார்.

Father found her apt and gave her the responsibility of the fields. He distributed his other wealth equally among the other two daughters.

அவளே தன் நிலங்களை பராமரிக்க தகுந்தவள் என அவளது தந்தை அறிந்து கொண்டு, வயல்களுக்கான பொறுப்பை அவளிடம் கொடுத்தார். தனது பிற சொத்துகளை சமமாக | பிரித்து இரு மகள்களுக்குக் கொடுத்தார்.

The Farmer and his Daughters Glossary:

Apt – Suitable (பொருத்தமான, தகுந்த
Distribute – Give a share (ஒரு பங்கை கொடுத்தல்)
Fed – (past tense of feed) To provide as food (உணவளித்தல்)

Lost in Space Summary in English and Tamil

Amuthan and Nilavan visited the ‘Space Museum’. They saw a model of a space shuttle. Then, Nilavan found a latch
and opened the shuttle. They entered the shuttle and the door locked.

அமுதனும் நிலவனும் விண்வெளி அருங்காட்சியத்திற்குச் சென்றனர். அங்கு ஒரு விண்க ல மாதிரியைக் கண்டனர்.
பின்பு, நிலவன் ஒரு விசையைக் கண்டு, விண்க லத்தைத் திறந்தான். அவர்கள் உள்ளே சென்றதும், கதவு உட்புறமாக பூட்டிக்
கொண்டது.

Now, they were trapped inside, and they walked into the deck.

அவர்கள் உள்ளே சிக்கிக் கொண்டனர். பிறகு அவர்கள் அதன் கட்டுப்பாட்டு தளத்திற்கு நடந்தனர்.

Amudhan: So many switches! What does this big green switch do?
Nilavan: No, don’t touch it.

அமுதன் : நிறைய சுவிட்ச்க ள். இந்த பெரிய பச்சை சுவிட்ச் எதற்கு?
நிலவன் : வேண்டாம், அதை தொடாதே.

But, Amudhan had pressed the switch and the shuttle bursts into outer space.

ஆனால், அமுதன் அந்த சுவிட்சை அழுத்தினான். விண்கலம் விண்வெளியை நோக்கிப் பறந்தது.

Nilavan : What have you done Amudhan?
Amudhan : Sorry. I thought the button would open the door but looks like I hit the wrong button.

நிலவன்: என்ன செய்திருக்கிறாய், அமுதன்?
அமுதன் : மன்னித்துவிடு. கதவை திறக்க வைக்கவே நான் அந்த பட்டனை அழுத்தினேன். ஆனால், நான் தவறான சுவிட்சை
அழுத்திவிட்டேன் என்று தோன்றுகிறது.

The shuttle went through a belt of asteroids.
பல குறுங்கோள்களைக் கடந்து அந்த விண்கலம் சென்றது.

Nilavan: Amuthan, an asteroid is coming towards us. Turn the shuttle.
Amudhan: How will I turn the shuttle? Let me try pulling this lever..

நிலவன் : அமுதன், ஒரு குறுங்கோள் நம்மை நோக்கி வருகிறது விண்கலத்தைத் திருப்பு.
அமுதன் : எப்படி நான் விண்கலத்தை திருப்புவேன்? இந்த நெம்புகோலை இழுத்துப் பார்க்கிறேன்.

The shuttle crash-landed on a new planet.

அந்த விண்க லம் செயலிழந்து ஒரு புதிய கோளில் தரையிறங்கியது.

Nilavan: Are you alright, Amuthan?
Amudhan: I am fine. Quick! we must wear a spacesuit!

நிலவன் : நீ நன்றாக இருக்கிறாயா, அமுதன்?
அமுதன் : நான் நன்றாக இருக்கிறேன். சீக்கிரம்! நாம் விண்வெளி உடையை அணிய வேண்டும்.

They ran for the suits. Nilavan saw green lights coming towards the shuttle.

அவர்கள் விண்வெளி உடைகளைத் தேடி ஓடினர். விண்க லத்தை நோக்கி பச்சை நிற வெளிச்சங்கள் வருவதை நிலவன்
பார்த்தான்.

Nilavan: Look at those lights. It is coming towards us.
Amudhan : Yes, they are all around us and that shuttle is very big! Let us wear our suits.

நிலவன் : “அந்த வெளிச்சங்களைப் பார். நம்மை நோக்கியே அவை வருகின்றன.”
அமுதன் : “ஆம். அவை நம்மைச் சுற்றியுள்ளன அந்த விண்கலமும் மிகப் பெரியதாக உள்ளது. நாம் நமது விண்கல
உடைகளை அணிவோம்.”

Aliens from the big shuttle shattered the windows and took them out.

வேற்று கிரக வாசிகள் அந்த பெரிய விண்கலத்திலிருந்து வந்தனர். ஜன்னல்களை உடைத்து இருவரையும் வெளியில்
எடுத்தனர்.

Alien 1: Please, don’t be afraid. There is a problem with your shuttle. We can fix it for you.
Nilavan: How is this possible? Do you speak our language?
Alien 1 : we can read your mind and use that to speak your language.

வேற்று : தயவுசெய்து பயப்படாதீர்கள்.
கிரக வாசி: உங்கள் விண்க லத்தில் ஏதோ பிரச்சனை உள்ளது. நாங்கள் அதை சரி செய்து தருகிறோம்.
நிலவன் : இது எப்படி முடியும்? எங்கள் மொழியை நீங்கள் பேசுகிறீர்களா?
வேற்று : உங்கள் மனதை எங்களால்
கிரக வாசி: படித்தறிய முடியும். அதனை பயன்படுத்தி, உங்கள்மொழியை பேசுகிறோம்.

The aliens gave them a special room so that they can remove their suits and rest.

வேற்றுகிரகவாசிகள் அவர்களுக்கு ஒருதனி அறை கொடுத்து, அவர்கள் உடைகளைக் களைந்து ஓய்வெடுக்க உதவினர்.

Alien 1: Please, rest here and eat these capsules. They are the same as your food.
Alien 2: Hey, wake up. Your ship is ready. Put on your suits. It is time to go home.
Amudhan: Thank you for your help. Are you coming to Earth with us?
Aliens : When the time comes, we will. See you.

வேற்று : தயவுசெய்து இங்கு
கிரக வாசி: ஓய்வெடுங்கள். இந்த மாத்திரைகளைச் சாப்பிடுங்கள். உங்கள் உணவு போலவே இவை இருக்கும்.
வேற்று : எழுத்து வாருங்கள். உங்கள்
கிரக வாசி : கலம் தயாராகிவிட்டது. உங்கள் உடைகளை அணிந்து கொள்ளுங்கள். வீட்டுக்குச் செல்லும் நேரம் வந்துவிட்டது
அமுதன் : உங்கள் உதவிக்கு நன்றி. எங்களுடன் பூமிக்கு நீங்கள் வருகிறீர்களா?
வேற்று : நேரம் வரும் போது வருகிறோம். கிரக வாசிகள் சென்று வாருங்கள்.

வசிப்போமா?

Will we stick to our core in,
Or will we become foreign?
Yes, we love our nation,
Divided when seen as persons

அல்லது நாம் யாருடனும் ஒட்டாமல் தூரமாக ஒதுங்கி நிற்போமா?
ஆம், நாம் நமது தேசத்தை நேசிக்கிறோம்,

Yes, we have different language,
Yet, our integrity shouldn’t damage.

Or be with her like the crowd?

The Guardians of the Nation Summary in English and Tamil

Anand and Yazhini came home from school. After washing their face, hands, and legs, they sat down next to their Father Their Father was watching the news on the television. There were two bowls of chickpea sundal. They ate and watched a ceremony where people were paying respect to a helmet on top of a gun. “Dad, what is this place? What are they doing?” asked Anandhan. Dad replied, “This is Amar Jawan Jyoti, a memorial for the soldiers who died for our country.

ஆனந்தும், யாழினியும் பள்ளியிலிருந்து வீட்டிற்கு வந்தார்கள். முகம், கை, கால்களைக் கழுவிய பிறகு, அவர்களது தந்தைக்கு அருகே வந்து அமர்ந்த னர். அவர்களது தந்தை தொலைகாட்சியில் செய்திகளை பார்த்துக் கொண்டிருந்தார். அங்கு இரு கிண்ணங்களில் சுண்டல் இருந்தது. அவர்கள் சாப்பிட்டுக் கொண்டே தொலைகாட்சியில் ஒரு நிகழ்ச்சியைப் பார்த்தார்கள். ஒரு துப்பாக்கியின் மீது வைக்கப்பட் வைக்கப்பட்டிருந்த ஒரு தலைக்கவசத்திற்கு மக்கள் மரியாதை செய்து கொண்டிருந்த காட்சி அது. “அப்பா, இது என்ன இடம்? அவர்கள் என்ன செய்கிறார்கள்?”, என்று ஆனந்தன் கேட்டான். “இதுதான் அமர் ஜவான் ஜோதி. நமது நாட்டிற்காக உயிரிழந்த படைவீரர்களின் நினைவுச்சின்னம்.

Every year, 7th December is observed as Armed Forces Flag Day. On that day, we remember the sacrifices of our soldiers for guarding our nation. It is a great honour to serve the nation by joining the army.”

ஒவ்வொரு ஆண்டும் டிசம்பர் 7-ஆம் தேதி இராணுவக் கொடிநாளாக அனுசரிக்கப்படுகிறது.அன்றைய நாளில், நம் தேசத்தைக் காத்த வீரர்களின் தியாகங்களை நாம் நினைவு கூர்கிறோம். இராணுவத்தில் சேர்ந்து தேசத்திற்கு சேவை செய்வது ஒரு பெரிய கௌரவமாகும்”, என அவனது தந்தை பதிலளித்தார்.

Yazhini proudly declared, “When I grow up, I will join the army and serve the nation.” Anandhan said,”I will become a doctor, and treat the people.” Yazhini asked, “Why don’t you join the army and serve the nation like me?”

யாழினி பெருமையுடன், “நான் வளர்ந்த பிறகு இராணுவத்தில் சேர்ந்து தேசத்திற்கு பணியாற்றுவேன்”, என அறிவித்தாள். “நான் ஒரு மருத்துவராகி, மக்களுக்கு சிகிச்சையளிப்பேன்”, என்றான் ஆனந்தன். “நான் சொன்ன மாதிரி, நீயும் ஏன் இராணுவத்தில் சேர்ந்து தேசத்திற்கு பணியாற்றக்கூடாது?”, என யாழினி கேட்டாள்.

Father intervened her and said, “Joining the army is not the only way to serve the nation. Each one of us can serve the nation in our own way.” Yazhini asked, “Really dad? How can we serve the .nation?” Father said, “Serving in the army is a grace, but not everyone gets a chance to serve. But, each of us has a role in our society and, by doing that role we are serving our nation.”

அப்போது அவளது தந்தை குறுக்கிட்டு, “இராணுவத்தில் சேர்வது மட்டுமே தேசத்திற்கு சேவை செய்யும் ஒரே வழி என்று நினைக்கக் கூடாது”, என்று கூறினார். “உண்மையாகவா அப்பா? தேசத்திற்கு நாம் எப்படி சேவை புரியலாம்?”, என்று யாழினி கேட்டாள். “இராணுவத்தில் சேவை புரிவது என்பது ஒரு வரம். ஆனால் ஒவ்வொருவரும் அந்த வாய்ப்பை பெறுவதில்லை ஆனால் சமூகத்தில் நம் ஒவ்வொருவருக்கும் ஒரு பொறுப்பு இருக்கிறது. அதைச் செய்தாலே நமது தேசத்திற்கு சேவை செய்த மாதிரி தான்”, என்றார் அவள் தந்தை.

Father continued, “I will tell you the story of Karmugilan. He was a doctor. who died, serving the people. He was young and talented. He went to the USA for studying. His parents were very proud of him. They thought that he would live in the USA and continue his practice. But to everyone’s surprise, he came back to India and started treating poor people free of cost.”

“நான் உங்களிருவருக்கும் கார்முகிலனின் கதையைச் சொல்கிறேன். அவர் ஒரு மருத்துவர். மக்களுக்காவே சேவை செய்து இறந்துபோனார். அவர் இளமையானவர், மற்றும் திறமைசாலி. படிப்பதற்காக அமெரிக்கா போனார். அவரது பெற்றோர் அவரை நினைத்து பெருமை பட்டனர். அவர் அமெரிக்காவிலேயே வாழ்ந்து, அங்கேயே மருத்துவத்தைத் தொடருவார் என
அவர்கள் நினைத்தனர். ஆனால் எல்லோரும் ஆச்சர்யப்படும் வகையில் அவர் இந்தியாவுக்கு திரும்பிவந்து ஏழை மக்களுக்கு இலவசமாக மருத்துவம் பார்க்கத் தொடங்கினார்”, என்றார் யாழினியின் தந்தை.

Yazhini asked, “Were his parents not angry with him?” Dad said, “They were anary. But, they knew he was happy.”

அப்போது யாழினி கேட்டாள்: “அவரது பெற்றோர்கள் அவர் மீது கோபப்பட வில்லையா?” தந்தை சொன்னார் : “ஆம், அவர்களுக்கு கோபம் வந்தது. ஆனால் கார்முகிலன் மகிழ்ச்சியாக இருந்ததை அவர்கள் அறிந்தனர்”.

One day, dengue broke out in the nearby villages. He left to those villages to treat the people. He saved the lives of many. He was soon well known in the village, and people poured known in the village and people poured in to get treated.

ஒரு நாள், பக்கத்து கிராமங்களில் டெங்கு காய்ச்சல் பரவத்தொடங்கியது. அந்த மக்களுக்கு சிகிச்சை அளிக்க கார்முகிலன் அந்த கிராமங்களுக்குச் சென்றார். பலருடைய உயிரை அவர் காப்பாற்றினார். அந்த கிராமத்தில் அவர் மிகவும் பிரபலமடைந்து விட்டார். அவரிடம் சிகிச்சை பெறுவதற்காக மக்கள் வந்து குவிந்தனர்.

But, one day he got infected by the disease and was taken to the city hospital. He was in critical condition. His parents were upset and worried. He told his parents that he had done his duty to the country and, was happy. In a couple of days, he died. In his memory, the people of the village have built a hospital and treat people at free of cost.”

ஆனால் ஒரு நாள் அவரையும் அந்த நோய் தாக்கியது. அவர் நகர மருத்துவமனைக்கு எடுத்துச்செல்லப்பட்டார். அவர் மிக ஆபத்தான நிலையில் இருந்தார். அவரது பெற்றோர் வருத்தப்பட்டனர். தான் இந்த நாட்டிற்கு தன் கடமையை செய்துவிட்டதாகவும், அதனால் மகிழ்ச்சியுடன் இருப்பதாகவும் கார்முகிலன் தன் பெற்றோரிடம் கூறினார். அடுத்த சில நாட்களில் அவர் இறந்துவிட்டார். அவரது நினைவாக அந்த கிராமத்து மக்கள் ஒரு மருத்துவமனையைக் கட்டினார். அங்கு மக்களுக்கு இலவச வைத்தியம் கிடைக்கிறது”.

“That’s really great, dad. He is a real hero.”, said Yazhini.

“அது உண்மையிலேயே சிறப்பான ஒன்று தான், அப்பா. அவர்தான் உண்மையான நாயகன்”, என்றாள் யாழினி.

Father replied, “Each one of us should love and respect our country.” we should treat everyone around us with love and respect. That’s the real service to the nation.”

நாம் ஒவ்வொருவரும் நம் நாட்டை நேசித்து மதிக்க வேண்டும். நம்மை சுற்றியுள்ள ஒவ்வொருவரையும் அன்போடும், மரியாதையுடனும் | நடத்த வேண்டும். அதுவே தேசத்திற்கு செய்யும் உண்மையான சேவை”, என்றார் அவளது தந்தை.

10th April: 10 ஏப்ரல் :
I am very eager to visit my grand parents’ village. I will meet my grand parents and cousins. I have packed my clothes and tab for playing video games. We will be travelling in a bus. I am so excited.

என் தாத்தா பாட்டியின் கிராமத்திற்குப் போக நான் வெகு ஆர்வமாக இருக்கிறேன். அங்கு என் தாத்தா பாட்டியையும், உறவினர்களையும் நான் சந்திப்பேன். வீடியோவில் விளையாட்டுக்களை விளையாட ‘டேப்’ எனப்படும் கருவியையும், எனது
உடைகளையும் எடுத்துக் கொண்டேன். நாங்கள் ஒரு பேருந்தில் பயணிப்போம். நான் மிகவும் உற்சாகமாக இருக்கிறேன்.

11th April:11 ஏப்ரல்:
Today we are travelling. Though it is summer, the weather is pleasant in the morning. There are numerous trees with yellow flowers on both sides of the road. There is greenery all around. There are many white cranes in the lush green paddy fields. The scarecrows have managed to scare away the crows in the fields. There is no traffic, noise and air pollution in the village.

இன்று நாங்கள் பயணம் செல்கிறோம். கோடைக்காலமாக இருந்தாலும், காலையில் வானிலை இதமாக இருக்கிறது. சாலையின்
இருபுறங்களிலும் எண்ணற்ற மரங்கள் மஞ்சள் மலர்களுடன் உள்ளன. சுற்று வட்டாரம் முழுதும் பசுமையாக இருந்தது. பசுமையான நெல்வயல்களில் பல வெள்ளை கொக்குகள் இருந்தன. வயல்களில் காகங்களை பயமுறுத்தி விரட்ட மனித உருவ பொம்மைகள் இருந்தன. வாகனப் போக்குவரத்து, இரைச்சல், காற்று மாசு என்று எதுவும் கிராமத்தில் இல்லை.

I get off the bus and run to meet my grandparents. They are deliahted to see me. The house is surrounded by many big trees. There are a few jackfruit, mango, neem, banana, pomearanate and coconut trees. The trees have abundant fruits. My grandfather has plucked some ripe mangoes for me. The mangoes are so juicy and sweet.

நான் பேருந்திலிருந்து இறங்கி, என் தாத்தா பாட்டியைச் சந்திக்க ஓடினேன். அவர்கள் என்னைப் பார்த்ததில் பெரு மகிழ்ச்சியடைந்தனர். பல பெரிய மரங்கள் வீட்டைச் சூழ்ந்து இருந்தன. சில பலா, மா, வேம்பு, வாழை, மாதுளை, தென்னை மரங்கள் இருந்தன. மரங்களில் அதிக அளவில் பழங்களும் இருந்தன. சில பழுத்த மாம்பழங்களை என் தாத்தா எனக்காக பறித்தார். மாம்பழங்கள் மிகவும் சாறுடனும், சுவையுடனும் இருந்தன.

12th April: 12 ஏப்ரல் :
I have woken up early today. I am out for a walk in the morning. The cool breeze is pleasing. The coconut palms are swaying lazily. The farmers are already in their fields. Some of them are cutting the crops and some of them are threshing the paddy. The air is filled with the sweet sound of birds singing in the trees and the bushes. The cuckoo’s song is perhaps the most enchanting.

இன்று நான் சீக்கிரமாக எழுந்துவிட்டேன். காலையில் வெளியே நடைபயிற்சிக்காக.சென்றேன். குளிர்ந்த காற்று இதமாக இருந்தது.
தென்னை, பனை மரங்கள் சோம்பலுடன் அசைந்து கொண்டிருந்தன. விவசாயிகள் ஏற்கனவே அவர்களது வயல்களில் இருந்தனர். அவர்களில் சிலர் அறுவடை செய்தனர். சிலர் கதிர் அடித்தனர். மரங்களிலும், புதர்களிலும் இருந்த பறவைகளின் இனிமையான சத்தம், காற்றுடன் கலந்திருந்தது. குயிலின் பாட்டு மிகவும் மயங்க

When I come home, I freshen up and eat the tastiest breakfast in my life. Later, my grandmother introduces a girl, Paavai. She goes to the village school. She lives down the street. She is very eager to show me around the village. Paavai shows me how to play with a tyre and a stick. We happily run down the lanes balancing the tyre with a small stick. We stop to talk to Paavai’s friends, Amir, Peter and Umaiyal.

நான் வீட்டுக்கு வந்து, புத்துணர்வு பெற்று, என் வாழ்விலேயே சுவையான காலை உணவை சாப்பிட்டேன். பின்னர், பாவை என்ற ஒரு சிறுமியை என் பாட்டி என்னிடம் அறிமுகப்படுத்தினார். அவர் அங்கு கிராம பள்ளயில் படிக்கிறாள். அதே தெருவில் அவள் வாழ்கிறாள். எனக்கு கிராமத்தை சுற்றிக் காட்ட அவள் வெகு ஆர்வமாக இருந்தாள். ஒரு டயரையும், ஒரு தடியையும் கொண்டு எப்படி விளையாடுவது என அவள் காண்பித்தாள். சிறு தடியால் டயரை லாவகமாக ஒட்டிக் கொண்டு | நாங்கள் மகிழ்ச்சியுடன் தெருக்களில் ஓடினோம். பாவையின் நண்பர்களான அமீர், பீட்டர் மற்றும். உமையாள் ஆகியோரிடம் நாங்கள் பேசினோம்.

All children here too have their summer vacation. Amir is helping his father in milking their cows. He let me pat his black calf peter and Umaiyal are sitting with their grandmother breaking groundnut pods and piling them neatly. Later they will take the nuts to the village market to sell them. I help them for some time.

இங்கு எல்லா குழந்தைகளும் கோடை விடுமுறையை கொண்டாடினர். பசுக்களிடமிருந்து பால் கறப்பதற்கு அமீர் தன் தந்தைக்கு உதவியாக இருந்தான். அவனது கறுப்பு நிற கன்று குட்டியை 5C4025 தா பாivale c++ine + +oin தட்டிக் கொடுக்க என்னை அனுமதித்தான். பீட்டரும் உமையாளும் அவர்களது பாட்டியுடன் அமர்ந்தபடி வேர்க்கடலையின் மேல் தோலை உடைத்து, அதனை குவியலாக சேர்த்து வைத்தனர். பிறகு அவர்கள் வேர்க்கடலையை கிராம – சந்தைக்கு எடுத்துச் சென்று விற்றுவிடுவர். நானும் அவர்களுக்கு சற்று நேரம் உதவி செய்தேன்.

13th April:13 ஏப்ரல் :
Paavai takes me to the village pond There are many children splashing around in the pond. Some boys are climbing to the top of the tall tamarind tree. Girls are playing hide and seek near the big banyan tree.

கிராமத்தின் குளத்திற்கு பாவை என்னை அழைத்துச் சென்றாள். அந்த குளத்தில் பல குழந்தைகள் நீரில் விளையாடிக் கொண்டிருந்தனர். சில சிறுவர்கள் அங்கிருந்த உயரமான புளிய மரத்தின் உச்சிக்குச் செல்ல, மரத்தில் ஏறிக் கொண்டிருந்தனர். அங்கிருந்த பெரிய ஆலமரத்தின் அருகில் சிறுமிகள் கண்ணாமூச்சி’ விளையாடிக் கொண்டிருந்தனர்.

My mother and my aunties take me to the river for a refreshing bath. I play for some time in the cool water but I cannot swim. So, I sit on a smooth rock and watch my friends swim like experts. They talk and laugh a lot as they wash their clothes and dry their hair in the Sun. The river is so clean that I can see the pebbles in the riverbed and colourful fish swim by. I love the scenery.

என் அம்மாவும், என் அத்தைகளும் என்னை ஆற்றுக்கு அழைத்துச்சென்றனர், புத்துணர்வூட்டும் bia குளியலுக்காக. அந்த குளிர்ந்த நீரில் நான் சற்று நேரம் விளையாடினேன். ஏனெனில் என்னால் நீந்த முடியாது. ஆகவே, நான் ஒரு பெரிய வழுவழுப்பான பாறையின் மீது அமர்ந்து, எனது நண்பர்கள் (திறமைசாலிகளைப் போல) நீந்துவதை பார்த்துக் கொண்டிருந்தேன். அவர்கள் அதிகமாக பேசியபடியும், சிரித்தபடியும் இருந்தனர். அவர்கள் தங்கள் துணிகளை துவைத்தனர். சூரிய ஒளியில் தலைமுடிளை உலர்த்திக் கொண்டனர். அந்த ஆறு மிகவும் சுத்தமாக இருந்ததால், அங்கு கூழாங்கற்களையும், வண்ணமயமான மீன்கள் நீந்திச் செல்வதையும் என்னால் பார்க்க முடிந்தது. அந்த இயற்கைக் காட்சியை நான் விரும்பினேன்.

We are back to our home in the city. The trip to our grandparents home was so enjoyable. Those two days flew by so fast. I realised that during this stay. I had neither watched television nor played video games. I eagerly looking forward to our next visit.

சென்று வந்த பயணம் மிகவும் மகிழ்ச்சியைத் நான் டெலிவிஷன் பார்க்காததையும், வீடியோ விளையாட்டு விளையாடாததையும் உணர்ந்தேன். எனது அடுத்த பயணத்திற்காக நான் ஆவலுடன் எதிர்பார்த்து காத்திருக்கிறேன்.

Earth, The Desolated Home Summary in English and Tamil

Let us Learn:

Earth, the Desolated Home பூமி, பாழாக்கப்பட்ட வீடு

It was the year 2068, humans had 2068 destroyed the Earth, and started colonizing the red planet Mars. India established three colonies; Arivumathi’s family lived in one such colony. On her birthday, her grandfather travelled more than 1500 km to meet her. When he reached, he saw her sleeping in her capsule.

2068 ஆம் வருடம். பூமியை (வாழ வழியற்றதாக) அழித்துவிட்ட மனிதர்கள் சிவப்பு கோளான செவ்வாய் கோளில் வாழ்விடங்களை ஏற்படுத்த தொடங்கினர். இந்தியா மூன்று காலனிகளை அமைத்திருந்தது. அத்தகைய ஒரு காலனியில் அறிவுமதியின் குடும்பமும் வசித்தது. அவளது பிறந்த நாளுக்காக 1500 கி.மீ. தொலைவிற்கும் அதிகமாக அவளது தாத்தா பயணம் செய்து அவளைக் காண வந்தார். அவர் அங்கு வந்தபோது, உருளை வடிவ படுக்கையில் அவள் உறங்கிக் கொண்டிருந்தாள்.

He said, “Wake up, Arivu.” Arivumathi was surprised, “Grandpa! When did you come? I was thinking” that you won’t be coming for my birthday.” He sighed, “Don’t you know about the dust storm of Mars? Sometimes, it even lasts for a month. But this time it did not. So I am on time. It still took me three sols to reach here. Now come on, let’s not waste time. We will go to harvest the vegetation.

எழுந்திரு அறிவு”, என்றபடி அவர் அவளை எழுப்பினார். அறிவுமதி ஆச்சரியமடைந்தாள். “தாத்தா, எப்போது வந்தீர்கள்? என் பிறந்த நாளுக்கு நீங்கள் வரமாட்டீர்கள் என்று நான் நினைத்துக் கொண்டிருந்தேன்”, என்றாள் அவள். அவர் பெருமூச்சு விட்டார். “செவ்வாய் கோளில் உள்ள புழுதிப் புயல் பற்றி உனக்குத் தெரியாதா? சில சமயம் அது ஒரு மாதம் வரையிலும் கூட நீடிக்கும். ஆனால் இந்த முறை அப்படியல்ல. ஆகவே நான் சரியான hab for vegetables.”. நேரத்திற்கு வந்து விட்டேன். இங்கு வர எனக்கு மூன்று நாட்கள் ஆகிவிட்டன. சரி, வா. நேரத்தை வீணாக்க வேண்டாம், நாம் காய்கறி தோட்டத்திற்குச் சென்று காய்கறிகளை அறுவடை செய்வோம்” என்றார் அவர்.

In the hab, he said, “Hmm, these carrots are not tasty anymore, like the ones I ate in my childhood.” She asked, “Why do you say so, Grandpa?” Grandfather explained, “The vegetables we grow here do not taste like the ones on the Earth. I really wish you had tasted the carrots from the Earth.” Arivu asked eagerly, “How did they grow the crops and vegetables on The Earth?”

காய்கறி தோட்டத்திற்கு வந்த அவர், “நான் குழந்தைப் பருவத்தில் சாப்பிட்டது போல, இந்த கேரட்கள் சுவையாக இல்லை” என்றார். “ஏன் அப்படிச் சொல்கிறீர்கள்,” என்று கேட்டாள் அவள். “இங்கு நாம் வளர்க்கும் காய்கறிகள், பூமியில் பூமியில் இருந்தது போல சுவையாக இல்லை. பூமியில் விளைந்த கேரட்களை நீ சாப்பிட்டுப் பார்த்திருக்க வேண்டும் என விரும்பினேன்,” என்றார் அவர். “பூமியில் பயிர்களையும், காய்கறிகளையும் அவர்கள் எவ்வாறு வளர்த்தார்கள்?”, என அறிவு ஆர்வத்துடன் கேட்டாள்.

Now, the grandfather was sad, like he is missing the Earth. He said, “The Earth had fertile soil, so the fruits and vegetables grown were healthy and tasty.” She asked, “But, I learnt that humans used chemical fertilizers, and polluted the soil. Here, we get unpolluted food and water. Is that correct?”

பூமியில் தான் வாழ முடியாததற்கு தாத்தா இப்போது வருத்தப்பட்டார். “பூமியில் வளமான மண் இருந்தது. ஆகவே அதில் விளைந்த பழங்களும், காய்கறிகளும் சுவையாகவும், ஆரோக்யம் தருவதாகவும் இருந்தன ,” என்றார் அவர். “ஆனால், மனிதர்கள் இரசாயன உரங்களைப் பயன்படுத்தி நிலத்தை மாசுபடுத்தியதாக நான் அறிந்தேன். இங்கே மாசுபடாத உணவும் தண்ணீ ரும் நமக்கு கிடைக்கிறது. சரிதானே?”, என்றாள் அறிவுமதி.

Grandfather laughed, “Already, I told you. These fruits, vegetables, and water are not the same as in the Earth. They are not real.” Arivu exclaimed, “Even the water?” He said “Of course! In Mars, we get water from burning fuels. On the Earth, we used to get water from rain, it was natural, and it was free!” She said “Grandpa, enough of your stories about the Earth. I know that life there was easy but, here survival is very difficult.” He replied, “Yes my dear, adapting to Mars is difficult. Today, we are fighting for things which we got easily.”

தாத்தா சிரித்தபடி, “ஏற்கனவே நான் உனக்குச் சொன்னேன், இந்த பழங்கள், காய்கறிகள் மற்றும் நீர் ஆகியன பூமியில் இருந்தது போல இல்லை. இவை இயற்கையானதல்ல, என்றார். அறிவு வியந்தபடி, “தண்ணீ ர் கூடவா?”, என்று கேட்டாள். அவர் சொன்னார், “ஆம்! செவ்வாயில் எரிபொருள்களை எரிப்பதால் நமக்கு தண்ணீர் கிடைக்கிறது. பூமியிலோ, இயற்கையாகப் பெய்யும் மழையால் நாம் நீர் பெற்றோம், அதுவும் இலவசமாக. “தாத்தா, பூமியைப் பற்றிய உங்கள் கதைகள் போதும். அங்கு வாழ்க்கை எளிதாக இருந்ததென எனக்குத் தெரியும். ஆனால் இங்கு வாழ்வது மிகவும் சிரமம்,” என்றாள் அவள். “ஆம், என் செல்லம்! செவ்வாய் கோளுக்கு ஏற்றபடி நாம் மாறுவது சிரமம்தான். முன்பு சுலபமாக நமக்கு கிடைத்தவைகளுக்கொல்லாம் இப்போது நாம் சண்டையிட்டுக் கொண்டிருக்கிறோம்,” என்று அவர் பதிலளித்தார்.

He continued, “In the Earth, you did not need a spacesuit or an oxygen cylinder. Also, the years are longer here.” Arivu said, “Yes, grandpa. In Mars, 687 days make a year.” He smiled, “Ha! Ha! Yes, you would be 18 years old on the Earth now.”

“விண்வெளி ஆடையோ, ஆக்ஸிஜன் சிலிண்டரோ பூமியில் உனக்கு தேவைப்படாது. என்று தாத்தா கூறினார். “ஆம், தாத்தா, செவ்வாயில் ஓர் ஆண்டுக்கு 687 நாட்கள்,” 18என்றாள் அறிவு. தாத்தா புன்னகைத்தபடி, “ஆம், பூமியில் உன் வயது இப்போது 18 ஆக இருந்திருக்கும்,” என்றார்.

Grandpa thought to himself, “We destroyed our home. The home that nature had offered us. Now, we are trying to make this our home.”

தாத்தா தன் மனதிற்குள் நினைத்துக் கொண்டார், “நாம் நமது வீட்டை அழித்து விட்டோம். அது இயற்கை நமக்கு அளித்த வீடு. இப்போது, இதனை நமது வீடாக மாற்ற முயற்சிக்கிறோம்.

Arivu looked at him and said, “Don’t, worry grandpa, the scientists are “trying to Terraform the Mars.” He said, “True, but nothing can be the Earth. Earth is our home. Ah, let us leave this for now. Today we should celebrate.”

நாம் வாழ்வதற்கு வசதியாக இருக்கும்படி விஞ்ஞானிகள் – மாற்ற முயற்சி செய்து கொண்டிருக்கிறார்கள்,” என்றாள். விட்டுவிடுவோம். இன்று நாம் கொண்டாட வேண்டும்,” என்றார் அவர்.

V. Answer in detail:

Question 1.
Explain the methods of asexual reproduction.
Answer:
Fission :

• Fission occurs in some invertebrate (organisms without backbone), multi-celled organisms.
• In this method, an organism splits itself into two parts.
• For example, flatworms, sea anemones, and sea cucumbers divide into two halves and regenerate the other half in each of the resulting individuals.

Budding:

• Budding is a form of asexual reproduction that results from the outgrowth of a part of the body.
• Then the bud is separated from the original organism forming two individuals.
• Budding occurs commonly in some invertebrate animals such as hydras and corals.

Fragmentation:

• Fragmentation is the breaking of an individual into parts followed by regeneration.
• Reproduction through fragmentation is observed in sponges and sea stars.
• Fragmentation may occur through accidental damage, damage from predators, or as a natural form of reproduction.

Spores:

• Some protozoan, bacteria, plants, and fungi reproduce via spores.
• Spores are the structures naturally grown as part of an organism’s life cycle.
• They are separated from the organism and dispersed through a medium such as air or water.
• In a suitable environment, the spores will develop into a fully grown organism.

Question 2.
What are the causes of the extinction of animals?
Answer:

• Forests are destroyed for human needs.
• More animals are hunted for their horns, skin, teeth, and many other valuable products.
• Pollutions like air pollution and water pollution affect the animals.
• Sometimes animals are taken to new habitats by people. They cannot survive there.
