Summary of A Bicycle in Good Repair in Hindi

A Bicycle in Good Repair को जेरोम के जेरोम ने लिखा है। लेखक और उसके दोस्त ने साइकिल की सवारी पर जाने की योजना बनाई। सुबह लेखक जल्दी उठ गया। उसका दोस्त आधे घंटे लेट आया।

उसके दोस्त ने साइकिल को हिंसक तरीके से हिलाया। फिर उसने एक हथौड़ा पूछा। लेखक हथौड़ा लाने के लिए टूल शेड में गया।

जब वह टूल शेड से लौटा। उसने अपने मित्र के पैरों के बीच सामने का पहिया पाया। शेष भाग उसके बगल में बजरी के रास्ते पर पड़े थे।

लेकिन उसने गियर को निकालकर उसके दो टुकड़े कर दिए। लेकिन वह उसे वापस नहीं ले पाया। सायकिल के बाॅल बियरिंग रास्ते में बिखर गया। दोनों ने उसे खोजा और फिर लेखक हैट को उलटकर उसमें रख दिया।

उसने साइकिल के चेन को इतना कस दिया कि यह आगे नहीं बढ़ा। फिर उसने इसे  दुगुना ढीला कर दिया। वह जानता है कि वह क्या कर रहा है और पूरी तरह सुनिश्चित है कि यह अच्छा है।

उसके और मशीन के बीच एक अच्छा झगड़ा हुआ था। एक क्षण साइकिल बजरी के रास्ते पर थी और वह उसके ऊपर; अगले क्षण वह बजरी पथ और साइकिल उस पर।

यह कहना मुश्किल था कि किसने सबसे अधिक सजा पाई; साइकिल या आदमी ने।

अंत में, आदमी ने खुद को साफ किया और लेखक ने उसे अपने घर वापस भेज दिया गया।
