JAMUN TREE
Publishing and Illustration
By Omi Kumar
One evening I was going to play.
एक शाम मैं खेलने जा रहा था।
I ran so fast to the jamun tree.
मैं इतनी तेजी से जामुन के पेड़ की ओर दौड़ा।
I couldn’t reach any jamun.
मैं किसी जामुन तक नहीं पहुँच सका।
I needed a bucket and a ladder.
So…………
मुझे बाल्टी और सीढ़ी चाहिए थी।
इसलिए…………
I called Ashutosh Bhaiya.
मैं आशुतोष भैया के लिए चिल्लाया।
Ashutosh got a ladder and……
आशुतोष को मिली सीढ़ी और……
I got the bucket.
मुझे बाल्टी मिल गई।
He put the ladder against the tree.
उसने सीढ़ी को पेड़ से लगा दिया।
He got lots of jamun and filled my bucket.
उसने ढेर सारे जामुन लाए और मेरी बाल्टी भर दी।
I ate them all.
मैंने उन सभी को खा लिया।
I can’t believe she ate them all!
मुझे विश्वास नहीं हो रहा है कि उसने सब खा लिया!
