Kaise Ek Chhoti Sunahri Machhli Ne Apni Buddhimani Se Pura Talaab Aur Gaon Bachaya
Bahut samay pehle ek gaon tha — uska naam tha Gangapur. Gangapur ke beechon beech ek bada sa talaab tha. Talaab ka paani hi gaon ki zindagi tha — wahi se kheton ko paani milta, gaay-bail wahi se peete aur bachche wahi talaab mein khelte.
Us talaab mein rehti thi ek Sunahri Machhli, jiska naam tha Chinki. Chinki sabse alag thi, kyunki uske kaan ke paas ek chhota sa chamakta til tha aur jab bhi wo paani mein tairti, suraj ki roshni uske pankhon (pankhi) par chamakti thi.
Gaon ke log kehte the — “Jab tak Sunahri Machhli is talaab mein hai, tab tak hamare gaon mein kabhi sukhapan nahi aayega.”
Talaab Ki Shaanti
Saare machhliyon ke beech Chinki sabse buddhimaan thi. Jab kabhi talaab mein ganda paani girta, wo turant sab machhliyon ko ikattha karti aur safai mein madad karti.
Gaon ke bachche bhi jab paani mein patthar fek kar machhliyon ko bhagate, to Chinki unhe door le jaati aur chhupne ke liye surang dikhati. Uske bina talaab mein kabhi shaanti nahi rehti.
Naya Sankat
Ek din gaon mein ek naya seth aaya. Uska naam tha Seth Jaggu. Jaggu bahut paisewala tha aur usne faisla kiya ki talaab ke paas ek bada haveli banayega.
Usne talaab ke kinaare peed kaat diye, mitti nikalwa di aur talaab mein kachra dalwane laga — taaki talaab sukh jaye aur wo zameen par kabza kar sake.
Dheere-dheere talaab ka paani gandla hone laga. Gaon ke log pareshaan ho gaye. Paani peene laayak nahi raha. Machhliyon ko sans lene mein dikkt hone lagi. Chinki samajh gayi ki agar kuch nahi kiya to sab khatam ho jayega.
Chinki Ki Yojana
Ek raat Chinki talaab ke kone mein chhupi aur sochti rahi. Phir uske mann mein ek yojana aayi. Talaab ke kinaare rehta tha ek chhota kachhua — uska naam tha Bhola Kachhua. Bhola sabko gaon ki baatein sunata tha.
Chinki ne Bhola ko bulaaya aur boli, “Bhola bhai! Mujhe tumhari madad chahiye. Tum kal subah sab gaon walon ko yahan bulao. Main kuch karungi jo sabko sach dikhaye.”
Bhola maan gaya.
Saboot Ki Tayari
Subah sab log talaab ke paas ikattha hue. Chinki talaab ke kinaare aayi aur uchhal-uchhal kar paani ke oopar tairne lagi. Uske pankhon par mitti chipki thi, gandgi chipki thi. Uski chamak dheere dheere kam hone lagi.
Gaon ki ek budhi aurat boli, “Arre! Sunahri Machhli ko kya ho gaya?”
Chinki ne paani mein se ek plastic ka tukda bahar uchhal diya. Fir ek aur gandgi ka tukda nikala. Log samajh gaye ki talaab kitna ganda ho gaya hai.
Gaon Walon Ka Gussa
Tabhi Bhola Kachhua ne sabko bataya, “Ye sab Seth Jaggu ki wajah se ho raha hai. Talaab ka paani wo ganda karwa raha hai taaki yeh sukhe aur wo haveli banaye.”
Log garam ho gaye. Pehle kisi ne Seth Jaggu ke khilaf bolne ki himmat nahi ki thi, par jab sab ne Sunahri Machhli ki haalat dekhi, to sabko gussa aa gaya.
Gaon ke mukhiya ne turant faisla liya — “Ab aur nahi! Talaab hamara hai. Hum ise bachaayenge!”
Seth Jaggu Ki Haar
Gaon ke log ekjut ho gaye. Kisi ne Seth Jaggu ke trucks ka raste band kar diya. Kisi ne talaab mein kachra girne se rok diya. Auraton ne talaab ke kinaare peed lagane shuru kiye, bachchon ne talaab ka kachra nikaala.
Seth Jaggu ne police bulayi par jab police ne dekha ki pura gaon talaab ke liye khada hai, to usne Seth Jaggu ko samjhaya, “Yeh log apna paani bacha rahe hain. Tujhe is zameen par kabza nahi karna chahiye.”
Talaab Ka Punarjanm
Ab pura gaon din-raat talaab ko saaf karne laga. Bhola Kachhua aur Chinki Machhli ne bhi apni taraf se poori madad ki. Chinki ne saari machhliyon ko samjhaya ki wo talaab ke kone kone se gandgi ekatha karein aur logon ko saaf karne mein madad dein.
Kuch hi hafton mein talaab fir se saaf ho gaya. Uska paani neela ho gaya. Machhliyan khush ho gayi. Sunahri Chinki ki chamak wapas aayi.
Chinki Ki Pooja
Us saal gaon walon ne talaab ke kinaare ek chhota mandap banaya aur Sunahri Machhli ki pooja ki. Mukhiya ne kaha, “Chinki humari rakshak hai. Jab tak ye talaab mein hai, tab tak hamara jeevan surakshit hai.”
Chinki paani mein tairti hui sabko dekhti aur uske pankhon par suraj ki roshni fir se chamakti thi.
Gaanv Ka Naya Niyam
Mukhiya ne naya niyam bana diya — “Har ghar se hafte mein ek aadmi talaab saaf karega. Talaab ke kinaare kabhi kachra nahi feka jayega. Har saal talaab ke aas paas naye peed lagaye jayenge.”
Is niyam ne Gangapur ko badal diya. Ab talaab kabhi sukh nahi sakta tha.
Sunahri Kahani Ka Ant Nahi
Kehte hain, aaj bhi jab Gangapur mein barish hoti hai, to talaab bhar jaata hai. Chinki Machhli apne bachcho ke saath tairti rehti hai. Gaon ke log use doodh aur chawal daalte hain, aur Chinki unhe dekh kar pankhon ko chamkati hai.
Jab bhi koi naya bachcha talaab mein pehli baar tairna seekhta hai, to Bhola Kachhua use kehkar kehta hai, “Dekho, woh Sunahri Chinki hai! Jab tak woh hai, sab kuch theek hai. Par yaad rakhna — agar tumne talaab ko ganda kiya, to woh chali jayegi.”
