Summary of the Story

Rahul and Raj were best friends. But Rahul grew jealous of Raj because he always won in cycling. The sports day was near. Everyone was practising for it. Rahul and Raj were good athletes too. Rahul was determined to win but he was not sure of his win over Raj. Gradually he started avoiding Raj out of jealousy.

Rahul wanted to defeat Raj by all means. So, one day before the sports day, he dug a small pit on the path where Raj was supposed to run and covered it with leaves. On the day of sports, the race started. Raj was ahead of Rahul but after some time he (Raj) stepped on the pit and fell down.

Rahul was happy as his plan worked well. He overtook Raj and won the trophy. His parents and friends were happy but Rahul wasn’t. His conscience awoke and he started feeling that he had hurt his best friend by foul play. He went to the principal and admitted that he had dug the pit in which Raj had fallen down. The Principal expressed his happiness over Rahul’s realisation of his fault. He told Rahul to work hard for good results. He also told him to go to Raj and apologise to him. Rahul did the same. Raj forgave Rahul. Now they were best friends again.

Rahul followed the Principal ‘s advice and worked hard for the term-end examination. Raj also helped him in every way he could. When the term-end examination result was announced, everyone was surprised to see that Rahul had topped in the class. It was the happiest day of his life.

Summary in Hindi

राहुल और राज सबसे अच्छे दोस्त थे। लेकिन राहुल राज से ईर्ष्या करने लगा क्योंकि राज हमेशा ही साइकिल दौड़ में जीत जाता था। खेल दिवस नजदीक था। सभी अभ्यास में लगे थे। राहुल और राज अच्छे धावक थे। राहुल जीतने के लिए दृढ़ संकल्प था। लेकिन उसे इस बात का हमेशा डर रहता था कि वह राज को हरा पाएगा कि नहीं। धीरे-धीरे ईर्ष्यावश वह राज की अनदेखी करने लगा।

राहुल किसी भी तरह से राज को हराना चाहता था । इसलिए खेल दिवस के ठीक एक दिन पहले उसने उस रास्ते पर गड्ढ़ा खोद दिया जिस पर राज को दौड़ना था। उसने गड्ढे को पत्तियों से ढँक दिया ताकि किसी को पता नहीं चले। खेल के दिन, दौड़ शुरू हुआ। राज; राहुल से आगे था लेकिन कुछ देर बाद उसने दौड़ते हुए गड्ढे पर अपना पैर रख दिया और गिर गया।

राहुल अपनी योजना की कामयाबी पर बहुत खुश था। उसने दौड़ में राज को पीछे छोड़ दिया और ट्रॉफी जीत ली। राहुल की इस सफलता पर उसके माता – पिता और दोस्त सभी खुश थे। लेकिन राहुल खुश नहीं था। उसका विवेक जाग उठा और वह यह सोचकर दु:खी होने लगा कि उसने गलत ढंग से राज को हराकर उसके दिल को ठेस पहुँचाया है। वह फौरन प्रिंसिपल के पास गया और उन्हें बताया कि उसने ही गड्ढा खोद दिया था जिसमें राज गिर गया था। प्रिंसिपल ने अपनी खुशी जाहिर की कि उसने ( राहुल ने अपनी गलती का एहसास स्वयं कर लिया। उन्होंने राहुल से अच्छे परिणाम लाने के लिए मेहनत करने को कहा। उन्होंने राहुल से यह भी कहा कि वह राज के पास जाकर अपनी गलती पर खेद जताए । राहुल ने ऐसा ही किया। राज ने उसे माफ कर दिया। अब दोनों फिर से अच्छे दोस्त बन गए।

राहुल ने प्रिंसिपल की सलाह पर अमल किया और वार्षिक परीक्षा के लिए जी तोड़ मेहनत किया। राज ने भी जितना संभव हो सकता था उतनी राहुल की मदद की। जब वार्षिक परीक्षा का परिणाम घोषित हुआ तो सभी यह देखकर खुश हुए कि राहुल कक्षा में सर्वोत्तम आया था। राहुल के लिए यह सबसे खुशी का दिन था।

It is not important to win every game that one plays. What is important is fair participation in it. Each game is played under certain rules which are to be obeyed by all the players. There should not be any scope of foul play. Every player should remain fair and important till the end of the game and accept the result whole-heartedly.
