Fair Play Class 6 Summary in English
Part I
Jumman Shaikh and Aglu Chowdary were good friends. Their friendship and service towards each other were respected in the village. They used to take care of each other’s family when any one of them went away from the village.
Jumman had an old aunt who had some property. She transferred the property to Jumman on the condition that she would stay with him and he would look after him throughout his life. After a couple of years, the situation changed, and the behaviour of Jumman and his wife towards his aunt changed. She was not treated well by them and Jumman’s wife didn’t even like to give little food to an old lady. She had to face tough times and she tolerated all this for a few months. But patience has a limit too.
One day she spoke to Jumman and said that she feels that she was an unwanted member of their family now and asked him to give her some money every month so that she could run her house independently. Jumman insults her and told her that his wife knows how to run the house. She got very angry at this and took the matter to the Panchayat.
She discussed her problem with some villagers. Some of them show sympathy towards her, some laughed at her and some avised her to solve the issues with her nephew and his wife. Finally, she came to Aglu Chowdary and spoke to him. She asked Aglu to come to the Panchayat and speak the truth.
Part II
The panchayat was held on the same evening under an old banyan tree. Jumman said, “Let my aunt nominate the Panch. I will abide by her decision”. Jumman’s aunt nominate Aglu as head Panch for her case knowing well that he was a close friend of Jumman. Jumman felt very happy because Aglu was his friend and he thought Aglu could not go against him.
Aglu Chowdary listened to the case carefully and announced his decision in the favour of the old lady. He said Jumman must pay his aunt’s monthly allowance or he had to return the property to the old lady. But Jumman was very angry with the decision. The incident broke the bond of friendship. The two were not seen together after the case. Jumman wants to take revenge on Algu.
Part III
After a few days, Aglu Chowdary found himself in a difficult situation. He sold one of his bullocks to Samjhu Sahu, a cart driver of the village. Samjhu Sahu had agreed to pay the price within a month. Unfortunately, the bullock died before he made the payment. When Aglu asked for it Sahu refused to pay. A case came before the panchayat once again.
The panchayat was held up under the same banyan tree. Aglu let Sahu nominate the head Panch. Sahu saw his opportunity and proposed the name of Jumman as Panch. Algu felt very discouraged. He was sure that Jumman would give a decision against him but he accepted the proposal. Jumman was full of hatred for Aglu and wants revenge on him, but when became the Panch he realized the responsibility of the judge. He gave the judgement in favour of Algu keeping aside his grudges. Algu was overjoyed. He cried that it was a victory of panchayat and justice. He said that God lives in the heart of Panch.
After the judgement, Jumman came to Aglu and the two friends embraced each other and wept. The tears had washed away the dirt of misunderstanding between them.
Fair Play Class 6 Summary in Hindi
भाग I
जुम्मन शेख और अगलू चौधरी अच्छे दोस्त थे। उनकी दोस्ती और एक-दूसरे के प्रति सेवा का गांव में सम्मान था। जब कोई गांव से दूर जाता था तो वे एक दूसरे के परिवार की देखभाल करते थे।
जुम्मन की एक बूढ़ी चाची थी जिसके पास कुछ संपत्ति थी। उसने इस शर्त पर संपत्ति को जुम्मन को सौंप दिया कि वह उसके साथ रहेगी और वह जीवन भर उसकी देखभाल करेगा। कुछ वर्षों के बाद, स्थिति बदल गई और जुम्मन और उसकी पत्नी का मौसी के प्रति व्यवहार बदल गया। उनके द्वारा उसके साथ अच्छा व्यवहार नहीं किया गया और जुम्मन की पत्नी को मौसी को थोड़ा खाना भी देना पसंद नहीं था। मौसी को कठिन समय का सामना करना पड़ा और उसने कुछ महीनों तक यह सब सहन किया। लेकिन धैर्य की भी एक सीमा होती है।
एक दिन उसने जुम्मन से बात की और कहा कि उसे लगता है कि वह अब उनके परिवार की एक अवांछित सदस्य थी और उसने उसे हर महीने कुछ पैसे देने के लिए कहा ताकि वह अपना घर स्वतंत्र रूप से चला सके। जुम्मन ने उसका अपमान किया और उससे कहा कि उसकी पत्नी घर चलाना जानती है। इस पर वह काफी नाराज हुईं और मामले को पंचायत तक ले गईं।
उसने कुछ गाँव वालों से अपनी समस्या पर चर्चा की। उनमें से कुछ ने उसके प्रति सहानुभूति दिखाते हैं, कुछ उस पर हंसते हैं और कुछ उसे अपने भतीजे और उसकी पत्नी के साथ मुद्दों को सुलझाने के लिए प्रेरित करते हैं। अंत में, वह अगलू चौधरी के पास आई और उससे बात की। उसने अगलू को पंचायत में आकर सच बोलने को कहा।
भाग II
उसी शाम एक पुराने बरगद के पेड़ के नीचे पंचायत हुई। जुम्मन ने कहा, “मेरी चाची को पंच मनोनीत करने करने दिया जाये। मैं उसके फैसले का पालन करूंगा।” जुम्मन की मौसी ने अगलू को उसके मामले के लिए प्रमुख पंच के रूप में नामित किया, यह अच्छी तरह से जानते हुए कि वह जुम्मन का करीबी दोस्त था। जुम्मन बहुत खुश हुआ क्योंकि अग्लू उसका दोस्त था और उसने सोचा कि अगलू उसके खिलाफ नहीं जा सकता था।
अगलू चौधरी ने मामले को ध्यान से सुना और बूढी औरत के पक्ष में अपना फैसला सुनाया। उसने कहा कि जुम्मन को अपनी चाची के मासिक भत्ते का भुगतान करना होगा या उसे उसकी संपत्ति वापस करनी होगी। लेकिन जुम्मन इस फैसले से बहुत नाराज था। इस घटना के बाद उनकी दोस्ती टूट गई। केस के बाद दोनों को एक साथ नहीं देखा गया था। जुम्मन अलगू से बदला लेना चाहता था।
भाग III
कुछ दिनों के बाद, अलगू चौधरी ने खुद को एक मुश्किल स्थिति में पाया। उसने अपना एक बैल को गाँव के गाड़ी चालक समझू साहू को बेच दिया। समझू साहू ने एक महीने के भीतर कीमत चुकाने की बात की थी। दुर्भाग्य से, भुगतान करने से पहले बैल की मृत्यु हो गई। जब अलगू ने इसके लिए कहा तो साहू ने भुगतान करने से इनकार कर दिया। पंचायत के सामने एक बार फिर मामला आया।
उसी बरगद के पेड़ के नीचे पंचायत का आयोजन किया गया। अगलू ने साहू को प्रधान पंच मनोनीत करने दिया। साहू ने मौका देखा और जुम्मन का नाम प्रस्तावित किया। अलगू को बहुत निराशा हुई। उसे यकीन था कि जुम्मन उसके खिलाफ फैसला देगा लेकिन उसने प्रस्ताव स्वीकार कर लिया। जुम्मन अगलू के प्रति घृणा से भरा हुआ था और उससे बदला लेना चाहता था, लेकिन जब वह पंच बना तो उसे न्यायाधीश की जिम्मेदारी का एहसास हुआ। उसने अलगू के पक्ष में फैसला सुनाया। अलगू बहुत खुश हुआ। वह चिल्ला कर बोला कि यह पंचायत और न्याय की जीत थी। उसने कहा कि पंच के हृदय में भगवान निवास करते हैं।
फैसले के बाद जुम्मन अगलू के पास आया और दोनों दोस्त एक-दूसरे को गले लगाकर रोने लगे। आँसुओं ने उनके बीच की ग़लतफ़हमी की गंदगी को धो डाला था।
