The Miser and his Gold


Summary in English

Summary in Hindi

Summary in English

The poem “The Miser and His Gold” by Jane and Ann Taylor tells the story of a miser who hoards his gold in a hidden hole, visiting it daily as his only source of joy. The miser’s obsession with his treasure blinds him to its practical use, as he merely gazes at it without ever spending or sharing it. One day, a bold robber, having secretly observed the miser, steals the gold during the night. When the miser discovers the theft, he is devastated and makes a loud commotion, drawing the attention of his neighbors. They inquire about the matter, and he explains that his gold was stolen. When asked what he did with the gold before it was taken, he admits he only looked at it daily. A friend among the neighbors points out the futility of his actions, suggesting that he can continue to visit the empty hole in the same way, as his attachment was to the act of looking rather than the gold’s actual value. The poem conveys a moral lesson about the dangers of greed and the pointlessness of hoarding wealth without using it for meaningful purposes. It emphasizes that true wealth lies in its utility, not in mere possession.


Summary in Hindi

“कंजूस और उसका सोना” नामक कविता, जेन और एन टेलर द्वारा लिखी गई, एक कंजूस व्यक्ति की कहानी बयान करती है जो अपने सोने को एक गुप्त गड्ढे में छिपाकर रखता है और रोज़ाना उसे देखने जाता है, जो उसका एकमात्र सुख है। कंजूस की अपने धन के प्रति आसक्ति उसे इसके व्यावहारिक उपयोग से अंधा कर देती है, क्योंकि वह इसे केवल देखता है, कभी खर्च या बांटता नहीं। एक दिन, एक चालाक चोर, जो कंजूस को चुपके से देख रहा था, रात में सोना चुरा लेता है। जब कंजूस को चोरी का पता चलता है, वह बहुत दुखी होता है और इतना शोर मचाता है कि पड़ोसी दौड़कर आते हैं। वे पूछते हैं कि क्या हुआ, तो वह बताता है कि उसका सोना चुरा लिया गया। जब पड़ोसी पूछते हैं कि वह सोने का क्या करता था, तो वह स्वीकार करता है कि वह बस रोज़ इसे देखने जाता था। एक पड़ोसी दोस्त उसे ताना मारता है कि वह अब भी उसी तरह खाली गड्ढे को देखने जा सकता है, क्योंकि उसकी आसक्ति सोने से ज्यादा उसकी आदत से थी। यह कविता लालच के खतरों और बिना उपयोग के धन जमा करने की निरर्थकता का नैतिक पाठ पढ़ाती है। यह सिखाती है कि असली धन उसका उपयोग है, न कि केवल उसे रखना।
