The Smell of the Bread and The Sound of Money Solutions in Hindi
There was once a stingy baker, but he baked delicious bread.
एक बार एक कंजूस बेकर था, लेकिन वह बहुत स्वादिष्ट पकाता था।
There was a poor man. He wished to enjoy sweet smelling bread but he did not have any money. So he would stand outside the bakery everyday, enjoying the nice smell of baking bread. The baker was very angry with the poor man. He felt that anyone who smelt his delicious products should pay for the smell. So he took the poor man to court.
एक गरीब आदमी था। वह मीठी खुशबू वाली रोटी का आनंद लेना चाहता था, लेकिन उसके पास पैसे नहीं थे। इसलिए वह प्रतिदिन बेकरी के बाहर खड़ा होकर रोटी पकाने की अच्छी खुशबू का आनंद लेता था। बेकर उस गरीब आदमी पर बहुत क्रोधित हुआ। उनका मानना था कि जो कोई भी उनके स्वादिष्ट उत्पादों को सूंघेगा, उसे उस गंध के लिए भुगतान करना होगा। इसलिए वह उस गरीब आदमी को अदालत में ले गया।
The judge heard the baker's complaint patiently. Then he asked the poor man, "Do you have any money?"
न्यायाधीश ने बेकर की शिकायत धैर्यपूर्वक सुनी। फिर उसने उस गरीब आदमी से पूछा, "क्या तुम्हारे पास पैसे हैं?"
The poor man searched his pockets and produced two small coins. "This is all the money I have," he said to the judge.
गरीब आदमी ने अपनी जेबें तलाशीं और दो छोटे सिक्के निकाले। उन्होंने न्यायाधीश से कहा, "मेरे पास यही सारा पैसा है।"
The judge took the money from the poor man. The baker was delighted. He smiled and eagerly held out his hand to take the money from the judge.
जज ने गरीब आदमी से पैसे ले लिये। बेकर खुश हुआ। वह मुस्कुराया और जज से पैसे लेने के लिए उत्सुकता से अपना हाथ बढ़ाया।
But the judge did not give money to the baker. He only jingled the coin together. He then returned them to the poor man, saying, "Punishment should fit the crime. The price for the smell of the bread should be the sound of the money."
परन्तु जज ने बेकर को पैसे नहीं दिये। उसने केवल सिक्का एक साथ खनकाया। फिर उसने उन्हें गरीब आदमी को यह कहते हुए लौटा दिया, "सज़ा अपराध के अनुरूप होनी चाहिए। रोटी की गंध की कीमत पैसे की आवाज़ के बराबर होनी चाहिए।"
