Mr. Garbage and Mrs. Polythene Question Answer Chapter 4 Solved PDF

Ladki: Tum kaun ho? Tumhare andar se bahut badboo aa rahi hai. Main beemar pad sakti hoon.

Mr. Garbage: Main Mr. Garbage hoon. Main har jagah paya jata hoon.

Ladki: Tum bahut gande dikhte ho. Tum kis cheez se bane ho?

Mr. Garbage: Main sabziyon ke chhilkon, purane aur phate kapdon, jooton, bartanon, kagazon aur un sabhi bekar cheezon se bana hoon jinhen tum phenk dete ho.

Ladki: Mr. Garbage, tum kahan rehte ho?

Mr. Garbage: Dustbin mera ghar hai. Tum mujhe ek gadde mein daalkar use dhak bhi sakte ho.

Ladki: Phir tum yahan kyon ho?

Mr. Garbage: Main yahan isliye hoon kyonki log mujhe apni ichchha se kahin bhi phenk dete hain. Agar ve mujhe gadde mein daalkar dhak dein, to main unke liye upyogi ban sakta hoon.

Ladki: Yah kaise sambhav hai?

Mr. Garbage: Wahan main mitti ke saath mil jata hoon aur khaad mein badal jata hoon. Isse tumhare liye achchhi faslen ugayi ja sakti hain.

Ladki: Yah achchhi baat hai. Lekin vah kaun hai?

Mr. Garbage: Vah Mrs. Polythene hai.

Ladki: Mrs. Polythene, vah to bahut sundar dikhti hain.

Mr. Garbage: Pyari bachchi, ismein koi sandeh nahin ki vah sundar aur upyogi hai. Lekin kya tum jaanti ho ki yadi janwar use nigal len to ve mar sakte hain? Vah manushya ki sabse khatarnak dushman hai.

Ladki: Kis tarah?

Mr. Garbage: Kyonki vah plastic se bani hai. Jaisa ki maine tumhen bataya, main mitti mein mil sakta hoon, lekin plastic kabhi mitti mein nahin milta. Vah bahut lambe samay tak mitti mein bana rehta hai.

Ladki: Kitne samay tak?

Mr. Garbage: Lagbhag hamesha!

Ladki: Lekin Mr. Garbage, plastic to har jagah hai. Hum plastic se bani bahut-si cheezen jaise toys, containers, computers, clothes, bags adi istemal karte hain.

Mr. Garbage: Tum sahi keh rahi ho. Log iska upyog isliye karte hain kyonki plastic ko kisi bhi aakar mein dhala ja sakta hai aur yah aasani se tootata nahin hai. Lekin yaad rakho, yah environment ke liye achchha nahin hai.

Ladki: Theek hai, main ise yaad rakhungi aur apne parivar tatha padosiyon se bhi plastic ka istemal band karne ke liye kahungi.

Mr. Garbage: Achchha. Tab hamari Prithvi rehne ke liye ek saaf aur swasth jagah ban jayegi.
