Trees Summary in Hindi

कवि ने पेड़ों पर की जाने वाली विभिन्न गतिविधियों को सूचीबद्ध किया है। पक्षी पेड़ों पर रहते हैं, बच्चे पेड़ों पर चढ़ते हैं और खेलते हैं। वे पेड़ों पर घर बनाते हैं, पेड़ों पर झूले झूलते हैं। हवा भी पेड़ों से होकर बहती है। जब बच्चे लुका-छिपी खेलते हैं तो वे पेड़ों के पीछे छिप जाते हैं। लोग पेड़ की छाया के नीचे बैठते हैं और चाय पार्टियों का आनंद लेते हैं। आसमान में उड़ती पतंगें पेड़ों में फंस जाती हैं, गर्मी के महीनों में लोग पेड़ की ठंडी छाया का आनंद लेते हैं। सर्दी के महीनों में वे छाया नहीं देते क्योंकि उनकी सारी पत्तियाँ झड़ जाती हैं। पेड़ों पर सेब और नाशपाती जैसे कई फल लगते हैं, उन्हें काटा जाता है और लकड़ी का उपयोग इमारती लकड़ी के रूप में किया जाता है। माताएँ सुन्दर वृक्षों को देखकर कहती हैं कि चित्र बनाने के लिए यह दृश्य अच्छा है। पिता पेड़ों को देखकर कहते हैं कि पेड़ पत्तों से भरे हुए हैं और पतझड़ के मौसम में जब पेड़ से पत्ते गिरेंगे तो उन्हें ढेर सारा पत्ते इकट्ठा करने होंगे।

Trees Question Answers

Q1. What are the games or human activities which use trees, or in which trees also ‘participate’? 

Ans. Trees are used for climbing. Swings are tied to trees. Children hide behind trees while playing hide and seek. Tree houses are also made using trees. We can enjoy picnics in the shade of trees. 

Q2. (i) “Trees are to make no shade in winter.” What does this mean? (Contrast this line with the line immediately before it.) 

Ans. In summers the trees provide shade while in winters they do not. This is so because they shed the leaves during fall months. As they do not have any leaves, thus the shade is not there. 

(ii) “Trees are for apples to grow on, or pears.” Do you agree that one purpose of a tree is to have fruit on it? Or do you think this line is humorous? 

Ans. Yes, this is a purpose of having trees. Trees bear fruits and they are grown for this purpose.
