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.
