Ek baar ki baat hai, ek gehre jungle ke beech ek chhota sa gaanv tha. Jungle har tarah ke janwaron ka ghar tha, aur wahaan ek ajeeb shanti thi, jo din aur raat mein goonjti thi. Jungle ke beech ek bada aur purana bargad ka ped tha jo jungle ka sabse purana aur sabse samajhdar pehlu mana jata tha.
Ek din, ek chhota tota, jiska naam Mithoo tha, apni khushi mein jungle ke ek ped se doosre ped tak udta ja raha tha. Mithoo ek gaane ka shaukeen tota tha aur uski awaaz bahut surili thi. Jab woh gaata tha, toh poora jungle uski awaaz se gunj utha karta tha. Lekin jungle ke kuch bade janwar jaise sher, hathi aur bhaloo uski awaaz se pareshaan ho jate the.
"Kya ye tota din bhar chillata rehta hai!" Sher, jiska naam Raja tha, ek din ghusse mein bola. "Mujhe apni neend kharab hone ka bilkul shauk nahi hai. Iske gaane band hone chahiye."
Hathi, jiska naam Gajju tha, bola, "Raja, tota bas khushi se gaata hai. Uska koi bura iraada nahi hai. Hume uski khushi ki kadar karni chahiye."
Raja ne jawab diya, "Par agar yeh aise hi chillaata raha, toh jungle mein koi chain nahi rahega. Kuch karna padega."
Isi beech, jungle ki sabse samajhdar janwar, ek buri ullu, jiska naam Chatura tha, usne kaha, "Mujhe lagta hai hume usse samajhne ki koshish karni chahiye. Har janwar ka apna ek maqsad hota hai. Shayad Mithoo ke gaane ka bhi ek maqsad ho."
Ek din, Raja ne Mithoo ko bulaaya aur kaha, "Mithoo, tumhare gaane se mujhe neend nahi aati. Tumhare gaane band karne honge."
Mithoo ka dil toot gaya. Usne jawab diya, "Raja, main toh sirf khushi se gaata hoon. Agar mera gaana aapko pareshaan kar raha hai, toh main gaana band kar deta hoon."
Mithoo udas hokar jungle ke ek kone mein chala gaya. Usne socha ki ab woh kabhi nahi gaayega. Jungle ekdum shant ho gaya. Lekin kuch din baad, har janwar ko lagne laga ki jungle se kuch missing hai. Jungle ka maahol udaas aur soona lagne laga. Har janwar apne kaam mein to busy tha, lekin sabko Mithoo ke surili awaaz ki yaad aane lagi.
Ek din, bargad ke ped ke neeche, sabhi janwaron ki sabha bulaayi gayi. Chatura ullu ne kaha, "Mujhe lagta hai hum sabne ek galti ki hai. Mithoo ke gaane sirf uski khushi ka zariya nahi the, woh jungle ki rooh the. Uske bina jungle adhoora hai."
Raja ko apni galti ka ehsaas hua. Usne kaha, "Hume Mithoo se mafi maangni chahiye. Jungle ko uske gaane ki zarurat hai."
Sabhi janwar Mithoo ke paas gaye aur usse kaha, "Mithoo, hume maaf kar do. Tumhare bina humara jungle suna hai. Tum apna gaana phir se shuru karo."
Mithoo ke chehre par ek badi si muskaan aa gayi. Usne kaha, "Main toh sirf apni khushi ke liye gaata hoon, lekin agar mere gaane se sabko khushi milti hai, toh main phir se gaana shuru karunga."
Aur phir Mithoo ne ek surili dhun shuru ki. Jungle phir se jeevit ho gaya. Har janwar Mithoo ke gaane mein sur milane laga. Raja, Gajju aur Chatura ne ek sur me kaha, "Mithoo, tumhare bina jungle adhoora hai. Tum hamare jungle ki jaan ho."
Us din ke baad, Mithoo ne hamesha gaana shuru rakha, aur kisi bhi janwar ne uske gaane par kabhi shikayat nahi ki. Jungle ek baar phir se khushhal aur zinda lagne laga. Har janwar ne samajh liya ki har kisi ki apni ek ahmiyat hoti hai aur sabko apni tarah khush rehne ka haq hai.
Seekh
Is kahaani se hume yeh seekhne ko milta hai ki har vyakti ya prani ki apni ek pehchaan hoti hai. Hume dusron ki khushiyon ki kadar karni chahiye aur unhe unki tarah jeene dena chahiye. Zindagi tabhi sundar hoti hai jab hum sab milkar ek doosre ki baat samajh kar ekta mein jeevan bitate hain.
