translation

Kalu, the tailor, had a shop near the river. He made colourful pants and shirts for children. Appu, the elephant, was his friend. Appu came to his shop everyday. Kalu gave him many nice things to eat. One day Kalu wanted to play a trick. He did not give Appu anything to eat. He took out his needle instead and pricked Appu’s trunk. Appu ran away in pain. Two days later Appu came down to the river and filled his trunk with water. He reached Kalu’s shop and threw water everywhere. All the new clothes became wet. Appu shook his trunk and said “An elephant never forgets.” Kalu said, “I am sorry, Appu. Let’s be friends again.” Kalu and Appu again became good friends.

एक नदी के पास कालू दर्जी की एक दुकान थी। वह बच्चों के लिए रंग-बिरंगे पेंट्स-शर्टस बनाता था। अप्पू नामक एक हाथी उसका दोस्त था। अप्पू प्रत्येक दिन उसकी दुकान पर आता था। कालू उसे अच्छी-अच्छी चीजें खाने को देता था। एक दिन कालू को एक शरारत सूझी। उसने अप्पू को कुछ भी खाने को नहीं दिया। उसने एक सूई अप्पू की सैंड में चुभा दी। अप्पू दर्द से कराहता हुआ वहाँ से भाग गया। दो दिनों के बाद अप्पू नदी के पास आया और उसने अपनी सँड को पानी से भर लिया। वह कालू की दुकान पर पहुँचा और पानी चारों तरफ़ उड़ेल दिया। सभी नये कपड़े भीग गए। अप्पू ने अपनी सैंड को हिलाया और कहा,-“एक हाथी कभी भी नहीं भूलता।” कालू बोला,-“मैं क्षमा चाहता हूँ, अप्पू। चलो दुबारा दोस्त बन जाते हैं।” कालू तथा अप्पू फिर से एक अच्छे दोस्त बन गए।
