(ऐलन को बहुत अधिक गर्व किस बात का था? वह सबसे अच्छा करने के लिए क्यों उत्सुक था? इसके लिए उसने क्या किया था?)
Answers:
Alan was chosen to play in the school cricket match. He was mightily proud of it. He had practised bowling with his father for weeks. He was a good bowler. His father said that he was shaping well. His father was as excited as Alan over the match. So he promised that if Alan’s side won the match he would buy him a bicycle.

ऐलन स्कूल के क्रिकेट मैच में खेलने के लिए चुन लिया गया था। इस पर उसे बहुत अधिक गर्व था। वह अपने पिता के साथ, कई सप्ताह तक अच्छी तरह गेंद फेकने का अभ्यास कर चुका था। वह एक अच्छा गेंदबाज था। उसके पिता का कहना था कि वह गेंद को अच्छी तरह से फेंकता है। उसके पिता मैच के लिए उतने ही उत्तेजित थे जितना कि ऐलन। इसलिए उन्होंने वचन दिया था कि यदि ऐलन की टीम विजयी होगी तो वह उसके लिए साइकिल खरीद देगें।

Question 2 .
Describe the old man in brief. How did Alan help him? What was the result?
(बूढ़े आदमी का वर्णन संक्षेप में कीजिए। ऐलन ने उसकी सहायता किस प्रकार की? उसका परिणाम क्या हुआ?)
Answers:
When Alan was going to play cricket match, he saw an old man on the way. He was leaning heavily on his stick. He was weak and deaf. The road was so hilly that he could not walk easily on the way. So he requested Alan to help him. Alan helped him as he knew that he would easily make up what time he had lost by running. The old man was walking so slowly that five minutes had gone before they were half way up the road. Suddenly the old mad stumbled and fell heavily on the way up the ground. After sometime, a policeman came there and promised to help the old man. Now Alan ran as fast as he could but he arrived late and could not play the match.

जब ऐलन क्रिकेट मैच खेलने जा रहा था, तो उसने रास्ते में एक बूढ़े आदमी को देखा। वह अपने डण्डे पर बोझ डाले हुआ था। वह कमजोर तथा बहरा था। सड़क इतनी पथरीली थी कि वह रास्ते में आसानी से नहीं चल सकता था इसलिए उसने ऐलन से अपनी सहायता करने के लिए प्रार्थना की। ऐलन ने उसकी सहायता की क्योंकि वह जानता था कि उसका जितना समय नष्ट हुआ है उसे वह दौड़कर सरलता से पूरा कर लेगा। बूढ़ा आदमी इतना धीरे-धीरे चल रहा था कि सड़क पर आधी दूर जाने से पहले ही पाँच मिनट बीत गये। वृद्ध व्यक्ति ने अचानक ठोकर खायी और जोर से जमीन पर गिर पड़ा। कुछ समय बाद एक पुलिसमैन वहाँ आया और बूढ़े आदमी की सहायता करने का वचन दिया। अब ऐलन उतना तेज भागा जितना वह भाग सकता था फिर भी वह देरी से पहुंचा और मैच नहीं खेल सका।

Question 3 .
Alan was playing the game although it was not on the cricket pitch. What game was Alan playing? How did he play it?
(ऐलन खेल खेल रहा था, यद्यपि यह कार्य क्रिकेट के मैदान पर नहीं हो रहा था। ऐलन कौन-सा खेल खेल रहा था? उसने इसे किस प्रकार खेला?)
Answers:
Alan was chosen to play in the school cricket match. So he was much excited. He wanted to do his best in the match. But he could not play as he reached late. Actually, he was playing an other game. When he was going to play ground, he met an old and weak man on the way. He was unable to walk on the road as it was hilly and the wind was too much for him. The old man asked Alan to help him. Alan helped him as he knew that he would be able to recover the time by running. But the old man was moving slowly. Suddenly, he stumbled and fell on the ground. Thus there was no way out except to help the poor man. At last a policeman came there and promised Alan to help him. Now Alan ran as he could but all was in vain. Although he could not play on the cricket pitch, yet he was playing the game of helping an old man.

ऐलन स्कूल के क्रिकेट मैच में खेलने के लिए चुन लिया गया था इसलिए वह बहुत अधिक उत्तेजित था। वह मैच में अपना पूरा प्रयास करना चाहता था किन्तु वह नहीं खेल सका क्योंकि वह देर से पहुंचा था। वास्तव में वह एक दूसरा खेल खेल रहा था। रास्ते में उसे एक बूढ़ा और कमजोर व्यक्ति मिला। वह सड़क पर चलने में असमर्थ था क्योंकि सड़क पथरीली थी और हवा उसके लिए बहुत ज्यादा थीं। बूढ़े आदमी ने ऐलन से अपनी सहायता करने के लिए कहा। ऐलन ने उसकी सहायता की क्योंकि वह जानता था कि वह उतने समय को दौड़कर पूरा कर लेगा किन्तु बूढ़ा आदमी बहुत धीरे-धीरे चल रहा था। अचानक उसे ठोकर लगी और वह जमीन पर गिर पड़ा। इस प्रकार बूढ़े आदमी की सहायता करने के अलावा उसके सामने कोई रास्ता नहीं था। अन्त में एक पुलिसमैन वहाँ आया और उसने ऐलन से बूढ़े आदमी की सहायता करने का वचन दिया। अब ऐलन जितना तेज भाग सकता था, भागा किन्तु सब व्यर्थ था। । यद्यपि वह क्रिकेट के मैदान में नहीं खेला था फिर भी वह एक बूढ़े आदमी की सहायता करने का खेल खेल रहा था।
