MACHO MEXICANO.

In this story, an elephant named Eleven does whatever it takes to maintain peace, even using violence. This is Part 4 of 5. 

As Eleven watched the thieves creep forward, he considered what course of action to take. He could tell the monkeys about the thieves, possibly causing a physical fight to break out. Or he could stop the thieves himself, either scaring them off with his roar or his powerful tusks. Either way, conflict was unavoidable. 

Peace was Eleven’s his highest value. If anything attempted to disrupt it, he made sure to remove it from his life. He saw himself as a protector of peace. It never occurred to him that he might have been actually afraid of healthy conflict.
 
So, believing there to be no ethical dilemma, Eleven decided to conceal the thieves’ robbery. This way the thieves would get what they want, the monkeys would only realize after the fact, and, most importantly, Eleven could get back to his relaxing day in the sun.  

Eleven positioned himself in such a way as to block any view of the robbery. The fox and wild chicken snatched the bananas and made their way for the bushes. However, at that exact moment, one of the monkeys, having climbed up a tree and swung itself into the river, was flying through the air and saw the robbery. 

Splashing into the river, the monkey screamed and shrieked, trying its best to alert the others. But they were too busy slapping each other to notice anything.
 
In an instant, without giving the moment proper reflection, only thinking about his own interests and his self-appointed duty, Eleven forcefully swung his trunk and whacked the shrieking monkey, who flew with great speed into the dense forest and out of sight.

IELTS Speaking Part 3 Topic: Films/ Cinema. Q 4-6

कुनै ठाउँमा एउटा ठूलो वन थियो । वनमा बाघ, सिंह, भालु, हात्ती, गैंडा, खरायो, जरायो, बाँदर आदि थिए । सिंहचाहिँ वनको राजा थियो । सिंहले मनपरी ढङ्गले वनका जनावर मारेर खान्थ्यो ।

एकदिन सबै जनावर एकै ठाउँमा भेला भए । सिंहको आहारा हुन पालैपालो जाने सल्लाह भयो । यो कुरो जनावरहरुले सिंहलाई पनि भने । सिंह पनि दिनदिनै सिकारको खोजीमा जानुनपर्दा खुसी भयो ।

जनावरहरु आ-आफ्ना पालामा सिंहको आहारा हुन जान थाले । एकदिन एउटा खरायोको पालो आयो । “मर्नका लागि किन छिटो जाने ?” भनेर खरायो सिंहकहाँ ढिलो गयो ।

अबेरसम्म केही खान नपाउँदा सिंहलाई खुब भोक लागेको थियो । उसलाई जनावरदेखि निकै रिस उठेको थियो । उसले खरायोलाई देख्नासाथ गर्जेर सोध्यो, “किन यति ढिलो आइस् ?”

खरायोले नरम भएर भन्यो, “महाराज! मलाई हजुरजस्तै सिंहले बाटामा समायो । उसले मलाई खान लागेको थियो । मैले ऊसँग हजुरकहाँ भेट गरेर आउने बाचा गरेँ । अनि मात्र म यहाँ आउन सकेँ ।”

सिंहले अझै गर्जेर भन्यो, “मेरो राज्यमा अर्को सिंह कसरी आयो ? त्यो कहाँ छ, मलाई देखाइहाल् । म त्यसलाई जिउँदो छोड्दिनँ ।”

खरायोले “जो हुकुम महाराज” भनेर सिंहलाई आफू आएको बाटो लिएर गयो । खरायोले सिंहलाई एउटा इनार देखायो । उसले सिंहलाई भन्यो, “महाराज! त्यो यही इनारमा लुकेको छ ।”

सिंहले इनारभित्र हेर्‍यो । उसले इनारमा अर्को सिंह देख्यो । उसलाई त्यो सिंह देखेर रिस उठ्यो । सिंह त्यसलाई मार्न इनारमा हाम फाल्यो । मुर्ख सिंहले आफ्नै छाया पनि चिनेन । ऊ इनारमा डुब्यो ।

जनावरहरुलाई अब सिंहको डर भएन । उनीहरु रमाएर बाँच्न पाउने भए । सबैले खरायोलाई स्याबासी दिए ।

हाम्रो कथा सकियो । 
अनि हामीले यो कथा बाट के सिक्नुपर्छ भने- सधैं बलले मात्र जितिँदैन , बुद्धिले पनि काम लिनुपर्छ।  

हामीले सुनेको सिंह र खरायोको कथा आशा छ तपाईंलाई  मन पर्यो होला। सुनिदिनुभएकोमा धन्यवाद l
