Lesson Meaning in Marathi (कथेचा मराठीतील अर्थ)

हा पाठ गोपी नावाच्या एका मुलाने त्याच्या भाऊ विष्णूला लिहिलेल्या पत्राबद्दल आहे. पत्रात, गोपीने विजयपूरमधील प्राणीसंग्रहालयाच्या भेटीचा अनुभव सांगितला आहे. तो सुरुवातीला हत्तींबद्दल लिहितो, ज्यात एक लहान पिल्लू, त्याची आई आणि एक आजोबा हत्ती आहे. आजोबा हत्तीच्या पाठीवर मुले बसून फिरत होती. यामुळे गोपीला त्याच्या लहानपणीची हत्तीच्या पाठीवर बसण्याची इच्छा आठवते. यानंतर, तो उंटांबद्दल बोलतो, जे कुरूप असले तरी दयाळू वाटतात. तो एका तरुण मृगाबद्दल (antelope) सांगतो जो खूप वेगाने धावत होता आणि नंतर गवत ढिगाऱ्यामध्ये झोपला. नंतर, तो हरीण, करकोचे (cranes) आणि बगळे (storks) पाहतो. बगळ्यांचे ओरडणे खूप होते, पण एक बगळा एका पायावर शांतपणे डुलकी घेत होता. गोपीने एक उंच जिराफ पण पाहिला, जो त्याच्या घराबाहेर झाडाची पाने खात होता. त्याने प्राणीसंग्रहालयातील सिंह, वाघ, ध्रुवीय अस्वल, माकडे आणि इतर अनेक प्राणी पाहिले. तिथे रंगीबेरंगी पोपट, पांढरे कॉकटू आणि हंस पण होते. पत्राच्या शेवटी, गोपी प्राणीसंग्रहालयांच्या गरजेवर चर्चा करतो आणि त्याला “माणूस विरुद्ध वन्य प्राणी” या संघर्षाबद्दल एक दुविधा आहे. तो याबद्दल पुढील पत्रात अधिक तपशीलवार लिहिण्याचे वचन देतो.
