The Trick Robot Summary in English and Tamil

Vicky was a lazy boy. He never did his homework on time. He never kept his things back in the right place. He pleaded to his father to buy him a robot to do his work. Vicky’s father wanted him to become an active boy. So, he bought him a trick robot. Vicky did not know that it was a trick robot. He was glad to have a robot to do all his work.

தந்திரசாலி ரோபோ  விக்கி ஒரு சோம்பேறி. ஒருபோதும் அவன் தன் வீட்டுப்பாடத்தை சரியான நேரத்திற்கு  செய்ததில்லை. எடுத்த பொருளை சரியான இடத்தில் அவன் திரும்ப வைத்தில்லை. தன்னுடைய வேலைகளையெல்லாம் செய்துதர ஒரு ரோபோவை வாங்கித்தரும்படி அவன் தன் அப்பாவிடம் கெஞ்சினான்.

அவன் ஒரு சுறுசுறுப்பான பையனாக வர வேண்டுமென அவனது அப்பா விரும்பினார். ஆகவே அவர் தந்திரசாலியான ஒரு ரோபோவை அவனுக்காக வாங்கினார். அது ஒரு தந்திரசாலி ரோபோ என்பது விக்கிக்கு தெரியாது. தன் வேலைகளை எல்லாம் செய்ய ஒரு ரோபோ கிடைத்ததை எண்ணி அவன் மகிழ்ச்சியடைந்தான்.

Father: Vicky, I have bought you a robot. This intelligent robot will do all your work. Enjoy!

தந்தை: விக்கி, நான் உனக்கு ஒரு ரோபோ வாங்கியிருக்கிறேன். இந்த புத்திசாலி ரோபோ உன் எல்லா வேலைகளையும் செய்யும்.

Vicky is excited to test his new robot.

அனுபவி! விக்கி தன் புதிய ரோபோவை சோதித்துப்பார்க்க ஆர்வப்பட்டான்.

Vicky: I am hungry. Cook some salad for me.

விக்கி: நான் பசியாக இருக்கிறேன். எனக்கு ஏதாவது கொஞ்சம் சாலட் செய்து கொடு.

Robot: I do not eat salad. So, I cannot make the salad.

ரோபோ: நான் சாலட் சாப்பிடுவதில்லை. ஆகவே என்னால் சாலட் செய்ய முடியாது.

Vicky: What? You are a robot. You cannot refuse me. Clean my room now!

விக்கி: என்ன? நீ ஒரு ரோபோ! நான் சொல்வதை நீ நிராகரிக்க முடியாது. இப்போது என் அறையை சுத்தம் செய்.

Robot: Do you want me to strain my back? I cannot do that.

ரோபோ: என் முதுகுபாதிக்கப்படவேண்டுமென நீ விரும்புகிறாயா? அதை என்னால் செய்ய முடியாது.

Vicky: Really? I cannot believe this! At least, charge my phone.

விக்கி: உண்மையாகவா? இதை என்னால் ‘நம்பமுடியவில்லை. குறைந்தபட்சம். என் கைபேசியையாவது சார்ஜ் செய்து கொடு.

Robot: Why don’t you do that yourself? I must make some calls.

ரோபோ: அதை ஏன் நீயே செய்யக்கூடாது? நான் சிலரிடம் போனில் பேச வேண்டியுள்ளது.

Vicky: Aah! I have a headache now. Get me a cup of hot tea.

விக்கி: ஆ! இப்போது எனக்கு தலை வலிக்கிறது. போய் சூடாக ஒரு தேநீர் கொண்டு வா.

Robot: My battery is draining by listening to you. First, you charge my battery.

ரோபோ: உன் பேச்சை நான் கவனித்ததாலேயே என் மின்கலத்தின் சக்தி குறைந்து போய்விட்டது. முதலில் என் மின்கலத்தை சார்ஜ் செய்.

Vicky: I am tired of you! Play me a pleasant song. I want to relax.

விக்கி: உன்னுடன் பேசி நான் களைத்து விட்டேன். ஒரு சந்தோஷமான பாட்டைப் போடு. நான் ஓய்வெடுக்க விரும்புகிறேன்.

Robot: That’s a great idea! Why don’t you play me one?

ரோபோ: அது ஒரு சிறந்த ஐடியா. எனக்காக நீ ஏன் ஒரு பாட்டு போடக்கூடாது?

Vicky : Oh no! Dad! Please sell this robot. It is totally useless.

விக்கி: அப்பா! தயவு செய்து இந்த ரோபோவை விற்றுவிடுங்கள். இதனால் ஒரு பயனுமில்லை.

Robot: Yes. This time please sell me to an active master. I don’t want to work for lazy people.

ரோபோ: ஆம். இந்தமுறை தயவுசெய்து என்னை ஒரு சுறுசுறுப்பான மாஸ்டருக்கு விற்றுவிடுங்கள். சோம்பேறிகளுக்கு வேலை செய்ய நான் விரும்பவில்லை.

Vicky: Really? Is that why you did not help me?

விக்கி: உண்மையாகவா? அதனால் தான் நீ எனக்கு உதவவில்லையா?

Vicky: No more robots for me! I will do all the work myself.

விக்கி: எனக்கு இனி ரோபோக்கள் தேவையில்லை. என் எல்லா வேலைகளையும் நானே செய்துகொள்வேன்.
