Rasheed’s uncle took him and Bhaiya (a domestic help), to the fair. There was a huge rush at the fair and uncle was guiding them the way through the crowd. A few of his uncle’s friends met him. They wanted his uncle to spend some time with them.
Uncle asked Rasheed if he would like to look around the fair along with Bhaiya in his absence. He was happy to do that but his uncle warned him neither to buy anything nor to go too far till he came back. Rasheed promised him to do so.
Rasheed and Bhaiya wander from shop to shop and Rasheed wanted to buy many things but waited for his uncle. Finally, they reached a shop named Lucky Shop.

One has to pay 50 paise and pick six discs and add the numbers on the discs to get the total. The article marked with the number one gets in total will be theirs.

Then a boy won a comb, a fountain pen, a wristwatch and a table lamp. The boy was very happy. He returned the items to the shopkeeper and had received a good deal of cash in return.
Rasheed also wanted to try his luck. Bhaiya also encouraged him to do so. He won a few things of little value but in greed of winning a big prize, he played many games and lost all his money. People around him laughed at him and made fun of him. Both of them returned to the place where Rasheed’s uncle had left them. After Rasheed’s uncle returned, he found him very upset and asked about the matter.
Bhaiya told the uncle about the whole incident that took place after he left us. Rasheed’s uncle smiled and patted him and took him to the shop. He bought him a beautiful umbrella, biscuits, sweets and some other gifts. Then they returned home.
After returning back home, Rasheed’s uncle told him that the man at the Lucky Shop had befooled him. He told Rasheed that the old man and the boy who won costly things were the friends of the shopkeeper. They tricked him and tempted him to try his luck and get the money out of his pocket. He advised Rasheed to forget about the incident and his foolishness.
A Game of Chance Class 6 Summary in Hindi
रशीद के गांव में हर साल ईद का मेला लगता था। यह कई दिनों तक चलता था। मेले में दूर-दूर से व्यापारी हर तरह का सामान बेचने आते थे। मेले में कोई भी आसानी से कुछ भी खरीद सकता था।
रशीद के चाचा उसे और भैया (एक घरेलू सहायक) को मेले में ले गए। मेले में भारी भीड़ थी और चाचा भीड़ में से उनका मार्गदर्शन कर रहे थे। भीड़ में उसके चाचा के कुछ दोस्त उससे मिले। वे चाहते थे कि चाचा उनके साथ कुछ समय बिताएं।
चाचा ने रशीद से पूछा कि क्या वह उसकी अनुपस्थिति में भैया के साथ मेले में चारों ओर देखना चाहेगा । रशीद ऐसा करके खुश था लेकिन चाचा ने उसे चेतावनी दी कि न तो कुछ खरीदें और न ही बहुत दूर जाए जब तक वह वापस न आ जाए। रशीद ने उससे ऐसा करने का वादा किया।
रशीद और भैया दुकान दुकान घूमते रहते हैं और रशीद बहुत सी चीजें खरीदना चाहता था लेकिन अपने चाचा का इंतजार करता रहा। अंत में वे लकी शॉप नाम की एक दुकान पर पहुंचे। दुकान को लकी शॉप इसलिए बुलाया जाता था क्योंकि दुकान का मालिक चाहता था कि हर कोई उसे 50 पैसे देकर अपनी किस्मत आजमाए। मेज पर नीचे की ओर संख्याओं के साथ डिस्क थे। हर एक को 50 पैसे देने होते थे और छह डिस्क लेने होते थे और कुल प्राप्त करने के लिए डिस्क पर संख्याओं को जोड़ना होता था। कुल मिलाकर जो अंक आता था उस अंक से अंकित सामान उनका हो जाता था।
एक बूढ़े आदमी ने अपनी किस्मत आजमाकर एक खूबसूरत घड़ी जीत ली। उसे यह नहीं चाहिए थी और उसने घड़ी को वापस दुकानदार को 15 रुपये में बेच दिया। वह बहुत प्रसन्न होकर दुकान से चला गया। फिर एक लड़के ने एक कंघी, एक फाउंटेन पेन, एक कलाई घड़ी और एक टेबल लैंप जीता। लड़का बहुत खुश हुआ। उसने दुकानदार को सामान लौटा दिया और बदले में अच्छे खासे पैसे लेके गया।
रशीद भी अपनी किस्मत आजमाना चाहता था। भैया ने भी उसे ऐसा करने के लिए प्रोत्साहित किया। उसने कम मूल्य की कुछ चीजें जीतीं लेकिन बड़ा पुरस्कार जीतने के लालच में उसने कई खेल खेले और अपने सारे पैसे खो दिए। आसपास के लोग उसका मजाक उड़ा रहे थे और। वे दोनों वहीं लौट आए जहां रशीद के चाचा उन्हें छोड़कर गए थे। रशीद के चाचा के लौटने के बाद, उन्होंने रशीद को बहुत परेशान पाया और मामले के बारे में पूछा।
भैया ने चाचा को उनके जाने के बाद हुई पूरी घटना के बारे में बताया। रशीद के चाचा मुस्कुराए और उसे थपथपाकर दुकान पर ले गए। उन्होंने उसे एक सुंदर छाता, बिस्कुट, मिठाई और कुछ अन्य उपहार खरीद कर दिए। फिर वे घर लौट आए।
घर लौटने के बाद, रशीद के चाचा ने उसे बताया कि लकी शॉप के आदमी ने उसे धोखा दिया है। उसने रशीद से कहा कि वह बूढ़ा और महंगा सामान जीतने वाला लड़का दुकानदार के दोस्त थे। उन्होंने उसे बरगलाया और उसकी किस्मत आजमाने और उसकी जेब के पैसे लेने का लालच दिया। उसने रशीद को घटना और अपनी मूर्खता के बारे में भूल जाने की सलाह दी।
