Who Did Patrick’s Homework?
CLASS 6 CHAPTER 1 SUMMARY IN HINDI TRANSLATION
Class 6 NCERT English Lesson 1 Who Did Patrick’s Homework?
1. PATRICK never did homework. “Too boring,” he said. He played hockey and basketball and Nintendo instead. His teachers told him, “Patrick! Do your homework or you won’t learn a thing.” And it’s true, sometimes he did feel like an ignoramus. But what could he do? He hated homework.
पैट्रिक ने कभी होमवर्क नहीं किया। “बहुत उबाऊ,” उन्होंने कहा। उन्होंने इसके बजाय हॉकी और बास्केटबॉल और निनटेंडो खेला। उनके शिक्षकों ने उनसे कहा, “पैट्रिक! अपना होमवर्क करो या तुम कुछ नहीं सीखोगे।” और यह सच है, कभी-कभी वह खुद को अज्ञानी महसूस करता था। लेकिन क्या करता? उसे होमवर्क से नफरत थी।
2. Then one day he found his cat playing with a little doll and he grabbed it away. To his surprise it wasn’t a doll at all, but a man of the tiniest size. He had a little wool shirt with old-fashion britches and a high tall hat much like a witch’s. He yelled, “Save me! Don’t give me back to that cat. I’ll grant you a wish, I promise you that.”
फिर एक दिन उसने अपनी बिल्ली को एक छोटी गुड़िया के साथ खेलते हुए पाया और उसने उसे पकड़ लिया। उसके आश्चर्य के लिए यह एक गुड़िया नहीं थी, लेकिन सबसे छोटे आकार का एक आदमी था। उसके पास पुराने जमाने की ईंटों वाली एक छोटी ऊनी शर्ट थी और एक चुड़ैल की तरह एक ऊँची लंबी टोपी थी। वह चिल्लाया, “मुझे बचाओ! मुझे उस बिल्ली को वापस मत दो। मैं तुम्हें एक इच्छा दूंगा, मैं तुमसे वादा करता हूं।”
3. Patrick couldn’t believe how lucky he was! Here was the answer to all of his problems. So he said, “Only if you do all my homework till the end of the semester, that’s 35 days. If you do a good enough job, I could even get A’s.”
पैट्रिक विश्वास नहीं कर सकता था कि वह कितना भाग्यशाली था! यहां उनकी सभी समस्याओं का जवाब था। तो उन्होंने कहा, “केवल अगर आप सेमेस्टर के अंत तक मेरा सारा होमवर्क करते हैं, तो वह 35 दिन है। यदि आप पर्याप्त अच्छा काम करते हैं, तो मुझे ए भी मिल सकता है।”
4. The little man’s face wrinkled like a dishcloth thrown in the hamper. He kicked his legs and doubled his fists and he legs and doubled his fists and he grimaced and scowled and pursed his lips, “Oh, am I cursed! But I’ll do it.”
छोटे आदमी का चेहरा ऐसे झुर्रीदार हो गया जैसे हैम्पर में फेंका गया थाली। उसने अपने पैरों को लात मारी और अपनी मुट्ठी को दोगुना कर लिया और उसने अपने पैरों को और अपनी मुट्ठी को दोगुना कर लिया और वह मुस्कुराया और अपने होंठों को सिकोड़ लिया, “ओह, क्या मैं शापित हूं! लेकिन मैं यह करूँगा।”
5. And true to his word, that little elf began to do Patrick’s homework. Except there was one glitch. The elf didn’t always know what to do and he needed help. “Help me! Help me!” he’d say. And Patrick would have to help – in whatever way.
और अपने वचन के अनुसार, वह नन्हा योगिनी पैट्रिक का गृहकार्य करने लगा। सिवाय एक गड़बड़ थी। एल्फ हमेशा नहीं जानता था कि उसे क्या करना है और उसे मदद की ज़रूरत थी। “मेरी मदद करें, कृपया मेरी मदद करें!” वह कहेगा। और पैट्रिक को मदद करनी होगी – किसी भी तरह से।
6. When it came to maths, Patrick was out of luck. “What are times tables?” the elf shrieked. “We elves never need that. And addition and subtraction and division and fractions? Here, sit down beside me, you simply must guide me.” Elves know nothing of human history, to them it’s a mystery. So the little elf, already a shouter, just got louder . ” Go to the library, I need books. More and more books. And you can help me read them too.”
जब गणित की बात आई, तो पैट्रिक की किस्मत खराब थी। “टाइम टेबल क्या हैं?” योगिनी चिल्लाया। “हम कल्पित बौने को कभी इसकी आवश्यकता नहीं होती है। और जोड़ और घटाव और भाग और अंश? यहाँ, मेरे पास बैठो, आपको बस मेरा मार्गदर्शन करना चाहिए।” कल्पित बौने मानव इतिहास के बारे में कुछ नहीं जानते, उनके लिए यह एक रहस्य है। तो नन्हा योगिनी, जो पहले से ही चिल्ला रहा था, और तेज हो गया। “पुस्तकालय जाओ, मुझे किताबों की जरूरत है। ज्यादा से ज्यादा किताबें। और तुम भी उन्हें पढ़ने में मेरी मदद कर सकते हो।”
7. As a matter of fact, every day in every way that little elf was a nag! Patrick was working harder then ever and was it a drag! He was staying up nights, had never felt so weary, was going to school with his eyes puffed and bleary
वास्तव में, हर दिन हर तरह से वह नन्हा योगिनी नाग था! पैट्रिक पहले से कहीं ज्यादा मेहनत कर रहा था और क्या यह एक ड्रैग था! वह रात-रात भर जाग रहा था, कभी इतना थका हुआ महसूस नहीं किया था, वह अपनी आँखों में सूजन और धुँधलेपन के साथ स्कूल जा रहा था
8. Finally, the last day of school arrived and the elf was free to go. As for homework, there was no more, so he quietly and slyly slipped out the back door.
आखिरकार, स्कूल का आखिरी दिन आ गया और योगिनी जाने के लिए स्वतंत्र थी। जहां तक होमवर्क का सवाल है, तो और कुछ नहीं था, इसलिए वह चुपचाप और चालाकी से पिछले दरवाजे से निकल गया।
9. Patrick got his A’s; his classmates were amazed; his teachers smiled and were full of praise. And his parents? They wondered what had happened to Patrick. He was now the model kid. Cleaned his room, did his chores, was cheerful, never rude,like he had developed a whole new attitude.
पैट्रिक को अपना ए मिला; उसके सहपाठी चकित थे; उनके शिक्षक मुस्कुराए और प्रशंसा से भरे हुए थे। और उसके माता-पिता? वे सोच रहे थे कि पैट्रिक को क्या हो गया है। वह अब मॉडल बच्चा था। उसका कमरा साफ किया, उसके काम किए, खुशमिजाज था, कभी असभ्य नहीं था, जैसे उसने बिल्कुल नया रवैया विकसित कर लिया हो।
10. You see, in the end , Patrick still thought he’d made that tiny man do all his homework. But I’ll share a secret, just between you and me. It wasn’t the elf; Patrick had done it himself!
आप देखते हैं, अंत में, पैट्रिक ने अभी भी सोचा था कि उसने उस छोटे से आदमी को अपना सारा होमवर्क कर लिया था। लेकिन मैं आपके और मेरे बीच एक रहस्य साझा करूंगा। यह योगिनी नहीं थी; पैट्रिक ने इसे स्वयं किया था!

Writing (Page 13-14)
Class 6 NCERT English Lesson 1 Who Did Patrick’s Homework?
Question A:
This story has a lot of rhyming words, as a poem does. Can you write out some parts of it like a poem, so that the rhymes come at the end of separate lines?
For example:
Patrick never did homework. “Too boring,” he said.
He played baseball and hockey and Nintendo instead.
Answer:
- The man of the smallest size
He was sincere and wise
- Patrick loved to play sports, not work
He wasted his time and had pending homework
- The elf promised to help and wore a high tall hat
Patrick saved him from the naughty cat
Question B:
Look at these sentences.
1. “Too boring,” he said.
2. Cleaned his room, did his chores.
When we speak, we often leave out words that can easily be guessed. We do not do this when we write, unless we are trying to write as we speak (as in the story).
So, if we were to write carefully, we would say:
- “Homework is too boring,” he said.
- He cleaned his room and did his chores.
Answer:
Read the sentences carefully.
Question C:
Rewrite the following incomplete sentences carefully, so that the reader does not have to guess what is left out.
