Jab Ghode Ne Lomdi Ko Chaalaki Ka Asli Matlab Sikhaya
Ek samay ki baat hai, ek ghana jungle tha jahan bahut saare jaanwar haste-khelte rehte the. Jungle mein ek lomdi rehti thi jiska naam tha Minti. Minti bahut hi chaalak aur chatur thi. Usne jungle ke lagbhag sabhi jaanwaron ko kabhi na kabhi apni chaalaki se dhokha diya tha.
Koi bhi naya jaanwar jungle mein aata, Minti sabse pehle usko milti aur use kisi na kisi tarike se bewakoof banakar uska khana, paise ya saman le leti. Jungle ke saare jaanwar Minti se darte the, lekin sabhi uske chaal se pareshan bhi the.
Ek din jungle mein ek naya ghoda aaya jiska naam tha Badal. Badal dekhne mein bahut shaktishaali aur sundar tha. Uski peeth chandi si chamak rahi thi aur uski aankhon mein gyaan aur samajhdaari ki chamak thi. Badal ek door ke gaon se jungle mein ghaas charne aaya tha aur jungle mein hi rehne ka faisla kiya tha.
Jaise hi Minti ko pata chala ki ek naya ghoda jungle mein aaya hai, usne socha – “Yeh toh naya hai, isko sabse pehle mein hi dhokha dungi. Itna bada aur majboot ghoda hai, iske paas zaroor bahut saara anaj aur saman hoga.
Subah-subah Badal jungle ke kinare ghaas char raha tha. Tabhi Minti wahan pohonchi aur mithaas bhari aawaz mein boli –
“Namaste Badal bhai! Main Minti lomdi hoon, iss jungle ki sabse purani vaasi. Mujhe bahut khushi hui ki aap jaise shaktishaali aur sundar ghoda hamare jungle mein aaye hain.”
Badal ne muskura kar jawab diya – “Namaste Minti ji, bahut acha laga aapse milkar.”
Minti boli – “Aapko yahan koi pareshani to nahi ho rahi? Agar ho to mujhe bataiye, main aapki madad karoongi.”
Badal ne kaha – “Nahi nahi, mujhe abhi tak koi pareshani nahi hui, sab theek hai.”
Minti sochne lagi, “Yeh toh bahut bhola lagta hai. Ab isse kaise bewakoof banaya jaye?” Usne turant ek kahani banayi aur boli –
“Badal bhai, main aapko ek baat bataun? Yahan aas paas bahut saare jungle ke jaanwar bade chor hain. Agar aapka anaj yahan rakha hai toh woh kabhi bhi chura sakte hain. Agar aap chahe toh main aapke anaj ki suraksha kar sakti hoon. Aap mujhe aadha anaj de dijiye, main usko surakshit jagah chhupa ke rakh dungi.”
Badal samajh gaya ki Minti use dhokha dene ki koshish kar rahi hai. Usne mann hi mann socha – “Yeh lomdi toh bahut chaalak hai, isko sabak sikhana padega.”
Badal ne Minti se kaha –
“Bahut achha Minti ji! Aap kitni achhi hain ki mere anaj ki suraksha karengi. Aaiye kal subah mere godam par aaiye, main aapko aadha anaj de dunga.”
Usne bandar, haathi, sher, bhalu, hiran, sabko bata diya ki Minti sabko dhokha deti hai aur ab mujhe bhi dhokha dena chahti hai. Sabhi jaanwar Minti ki chaalaki se pareshan the, isliye sab Badal ki madad ko tayar ho gaye.
Badal ne sabse kaha – “Jab Minti godam mein aaye, tab sab chup chap chhup jao aur jaise hi woh anaj churaaye, use pakad lena.”
Subah hone par Minti poore utsah ke saath Badal ke godam par pahunch gayi. Usne dekha, Badal wahan nahi hai. Badal ne darwaza khula chhod diya tha. Minti andar gayi aur dekha to anaj ka dher laga tha. Uski aankhen chamak gayi. Usne socha – “Bas, aaj se mujhe kisi aur ko dhokha dene ki zarurat nahi. Itna anaj toh saal bhar ke liye kaafi hai!”
Jaise hi Minti anaj batorne lagi, sab jaanwar ek ek kar ke chhup kar bahar aaye aur Minti ko gher liya. Bandar ne zor se chillakar bola –
“Pakdo is lomdi ko! Yehi hai jo sabko dhokha deti hai!”
Minti ghabra gayi. Usne koshish ki bhaagne ki, lekin sher aur haathi ne uska raasta rok diya. Badal aage aaya aur bola –
“Minti, tumne jungle mein sabko bahut pareshan kiya hai. Tumhari chaalaki aaj tum par bhari pad gayi. Ab batao, sabke saamne maafi mangogi ya jungle chhodkar jaogi?”
Minti ne gusse se Badal ko dekha, phir sab jaanwaron ko dekha. Use samajh aa gaya ki ab bachne ka koi raasta nahi. Usne kaan pakad kar kaha –
“Mujhe maaf kar do, main kabhi kisi ko dhokha nahi doongi. Mujhe jungle se mat bhagao, main sudhar jaaungi.”
Badal ne sab jaanwaron se kaha –
“Agar Minti sach mein sudhar jaaye toh ise ek mauka diya jaa sakta hai. Par agar isne phir se kisi ko dhokha diya, toh ise jungle se nikaal diya jayega.”
Sab jaanwar maan gaye. Minti ne sabke saamne wada kiya ki woh ab imaandari se jeeyegi aur sabki madad karegi. Jungle ke sabhi jaanwar khush hue aur Badal ko dhanyawaad diya. Badal ab sabka hero ban gaya. Uske samajhdaari aur sahas se jungle mein phir se shanti aur vishwas ka mahaul ban gaya.
