English Chapter 5 Solutions in Hindi

There was a jeep on the road in front of a shop. Shankar saw two men putting a heavy bag into the jeep. "This is strange," Shankar thought. "I must find out more." 

एक दुकान के सामने सड़क पर एक जीप खड़ी थी। शंकर ने देखा कि दो लोग एक भारी बैग जीप में डाल रहे हैं। "यह अजीब है," शंकर ने सोचा। "मुझे और अधिक पता लगाना चाहिए।"

He got off his bicycle and hid it behind a big tree. The men went back to the shop and again came out through the open door. They were carrying another bag to the jeep.

उसने अपनी साइकिल उतारकर एक बड़े पेड़ के पीछे छिपा दी। वे लोग वापस दुकान में गए और फिर खुले दरवाजे से बाहर आ गए। वे जीप में एक और बैग ले जा रहे थे।

One of them whispered to the other, "Ah, these pearls will get us a lot of money. We can share it equally." At once Shankar knew that they were thieves. He was a little afraid. His Heart began to beat fast. He was worried.

उनमें से एक ने दूसरे से फुसफुसाकर कहा, "आह, इन मोतियों से हमें बहुत सारा पैसा मिलेगा। हम इसे समान रूप से साझा कर सकते हैं।" शंकर को तुरंत पता चल गया कि वे चोर हैं। वह थोड़ा डरा हुआ था। उसका दिल तेजी से धड़कने लगा. वह परेशान हो गया।

The thieves again went back to bring the third bag. Shankar immediately ran to the jeep and let out the air from all four tyres. After that he got on to his bicycle and cycled at top speed to the nearby police station. 

चोर फिर तीसरा बैग लाने के लिए वापस गए। शंकर तुरंत जीप के पास भागा और चारों टायरों की हवा निकाल दी। इसके बाद वह अपनी साइकिल पर बैठा और तेज गति से साइकिल चलाकर पास के पुलिस स्टेशन तक गया।

He told the police inspector about the thieves. He added, "I've let out the air from the tyres of their jeep". "Very good", said the Inspector. "You are a brave boy. We'll go there at once and catch the thieves. You can come with us if you like." The police at once rushed to the spot, and the thieves were caught.

उसने पुलिस इंस्पेक्टर को चोरों के बारे में बताया। उन्होंने आगे कहा, "मैंने उनकी जीप के टायरों से हवा निकाल दी है।" "बहुत अच्छा," इंस्पेक्टर ने कहा। "तुम एक बहादुर लड़के हो। हम तुरंत वहां जाएंगे और चोरों को पकड़ लेंगे। अगर तुम चाहो तो तुम हमारे साथ आ सकते हो।" पुलिस तुरंत मौके पर पहुंची और चोरों को पकड़ लिया गया।
