Meadow Surprises Summary Class 7 English

Meadow Surprises Summary Class 7 English

Meadow Surprises Summary In English

The meadow offers several surprises to the one who has an eager eye to look at the meadow. Walking on the soft velvety grass, the sound of the brook, a butterfly sipping nectar from the flowers; all such sights give immense pleasure. These sights are no less than the nature’s surprise gift.

Walking further on, one may find a rabbit hidden in the grass. One may not be able to see it instantly, but soon it would hop in front of you because it would be scared. A dandelion that was golden a couple of days ago would have also bloomed.

One could find several houses in the meadows. There would be burrows in the ground, nests beneath the tall grasses, mounds for ants and so on. For every person there would be some or the other surprise.

Stanza wise Explanation of The Poem

You can find them if you look;
Walk softly through the velvet grass,
And listen by the brook.

And unfold its drinking straws
To sip the nectar up.

Who is sitting very still;
Though at first you may not see him,
When he hops you will.

Was golden days ago
Has turned to airy parachutes
That flutter when you blow.

Meadow Surprises Summary In Hindi

जिन लोगों को घास की भूमि को देखने में दिलचस्पी है, उनके लिए घास की भूमि बहुत से आश्चर्य प्रदान करती है। मुलायम तथा मखमली घास पर चलना, नदी की कल-कल करने की आवाज, तितलियों द्वारा फूलों का रस निकालना इत्यादि दृश्य हमें अनगिनत खुशियाँ प्रदान करते हैं। ये दृश्य प्रकृति के उपहार से कम नहीं हैं।

आगे चलने पर हमें घास में छिपा हुआ खरगोश मिल सकता है। इसे हम तुरंत तो नहीं देख सकते पर शीघ्र ही यह डरा हुआ होने की वजह से आपके सामने उछलता हुआ नजर आएगा। अगले ही दिन आपको पीले फूल खिले हुए नजर आएँगे।

घास-भूमि में हमें कई घर भी मिलते हैं। जमीन में मंद लंबी घासों के नीचे घोंसले, चींटी के बिल इत्यादि मिल जाते हैं। वहाँ पर हर किसी के लिए कुछ-न-कुछ आश्चर्य जरूर होता है।

संदर्भ प्रस्तुत पंक्तियाँ लोइस ब्रैट फिलिप की कविता ‘मीडो सरप्राइजेज’ से ली गई हैं।
प्रसंग कवि जान लेते हैं कि घास-भूमि के पास कई सारे आश्चर्य हैं।
व्याख्या अगर कोई ध्यान दे तो घास-भूमि के पास हमें देने के लिए बहुत से आश्चर्य हैं। मखमली मुलायम घास पर चलना तथा नदी के मीठे संगीत को सुनना बहुत ही आनंददायक होता है।

संदर्भ पूर्ववत्।
प्रसंग कवि घास-भूमि में दिखने वाले बेहतरीन दृश्य का वर्णन करते हैं।
व्याख्या घास-भूमि में हम एक तितली को फूलों के रस को पीते हुए देख सकते हैं। ऐसा मालूम होता है कि तितली एक छोटे-सी नली से फूलों का रस पी रही है।

संदर्भ पूवर्वत्।
प्रसंग कवि एक बार फिर सुंदर नजारों का वर्णन करते हैं।
व्याख्या मुलायम घास पर चलते हुए कोई खरगोश को वहाँ पर छिपा हुआ तुरंत नहीं देख सकता है। हमारे पदचाप से डर कर वह बाहर उछलता हुआ आएगा, जो एक बेहतरीन दृश्य होगा।

संदर्भ पूर्ववत्।
प्रसंग कवि कलियों से फूल बनने का वर्णन करते हैं।
व्याख्या पीले रंग वाले फूल जो कई दिन पूर्व दिखे थे, वे अब खिल गए हैं और जब आप उसके पास जाकर उसे हिलाते हैं, तो वह दृश्य बड़ा सुहावना होता है।

संदर्भ पूर्ववत्।
प्रसंग कवि उन घरों का वर्णन करते हैं, जो घास-भूमि में देखे जा सकते हैं।
व्याख्या घास-भूमि का निरीक्षण करने पर हमें बहुत से घर दिखाई देते हैं, जमीन में बिल जिनमें छोटे जानवर रहते हैं। लंबी घास के नीचे घोंसले तथा चींटी के रहने की जगह भी वहाँ देखी जा सकती है।

संदर्भ पूर्ववत्।
प्रसंग कवि इस बात पर जोर देता है कि घास-भूमि के पास बहुत से आश्चर्य हैं।
व्याख्या यदि कोई ध्यान से देखना और सुनना जानता है, तो उसे घास-भूमि के अंदरबहुत सारे आश्चर्य का पता चल सकता है।
