📝 Summary in English (200 words)
The story "Thank God!" is about a farmer who loved fruits and decided to grow a variety of them on his land. After months of hard work and care, the trees bore delicious fruits. The farmer paid special attention to his grapes and watermelons, growing them well in a corner of his farm. When the fruits were ripe, he decided to gift the best fruit to the king. His wife informed him that the best fruits were watermelons and grapes. Since watermelons were too heavy for a long journey, he chose to gift the grapes.
The farmer walked to the palace carrying baskets of grapes. When he reached, the king was playing with his daughter. The king playfully plucked grapes from the basket and ate them. Then, he threw grapes at the farmer, who cheerfully thanked God every time. The king was curious and asked why the farmer was thankful despite getting hit. The wise farmer replied that he was blessed as he chose grapes instead of heavy watermelons. This simple story teaches gratitude, wisdom, and positive thinking.
📝 सारांश हिंदी में (200 शब्द)
"Thank God!" कहानी एक किसान के बारे में है जो फलों को बहुत पसंद करता था और अपने खेत में विभिन्न तरह के फल उगाने का फैसला किया। मेहनत और देखभाल से पेड़ अच्छे हुए और फल पक गए। उन्होंने अंगूर और तरबूज खास जगह पर उगाए। जब फल पूरी तरह से पक गए तो किसान ने सोचा कि सबसे अच्छा फल राजा को भेंट करेगा। उसकी पत्नी ने बताया कि इस साल सबसे अच्छे फल तरबूज और अंगूर हैं। भारत की दूरी और वजन देखते हुए, उसने तरबूज की जगह अंगूर चुना।
किसान अंगूर का टोकरी लेकर राजा के महल गया। वहाँ राजा अपनी बेटी के साथ खेल रहा था। राजा ने अंगूर लिए और खेल-खेल में किसान को अंगूर फेंकने लगा। हर बार जब अंगूर किसान के माथे पर गिरता, किसान खुशी-खुशी "Thank God!" कहता। राजा ने पूछा कि वह ऐसा क्यों कर रहा है। किसान ने मुस्कुराते हुए जवाब दिया कि वह भाग्यशाली है क्योंकि उसने भारी तरबूज की जगह हल्के अंगूर चुने। कहानी धन्यवाद, समझदारी और सकारात्मक सोच सिखाती है।
