On 29th May, 1953, two men reached the top of Everest, the highest mountain the world. One was
Edmund Hillary, a New Zealander, and the other was Tenzing who is a Sherpa, a native of the
Himalayan mountains. These two men of different races shared the honour of the historic climb. But
the climb, in itself, is not the only reason why I have put Tenzing in this book. I have put him because
he is the only man I can think of, in modern times, who was born in a poor and primitive tribe, far
away from civilization, and yet has won worldwide fame. Tenzing's mother and father were the very
simplest of peasant farmers. He never went to school. When he was a small boy, his job was to help
to look after his father's animals, which were sheep and goats and yaks, and he never had time to learn
to read or write. Yet now, the name of Tenzing is known all over the world; and he has won his fame
not just through luck, but because of his own skill and character, and because when he was a boy he
had a single great ambition and has stuck to it all his life. His ambition was to climb the mountains
round his home; and his home was near Everest and Everest was the highest mountain he could see, so
his special ambition was to climb to the top of that mountain.
When Tenzing was a very small boy, his father used to send him out with the herds of yaks, while they
were grazing. In summer, the yaks went high up the mountain sides above the flowering forests, to
crop
the
grass
which grows just below the snow and glaciers and the vast rock walls of the high peaks.
Many of Tenzing's people believed that the mountain peaks were the homes of gods and demons, and
Tenzing was afraid of them; yet even then, out alone with the lierds, he used to have daydreams, and
imagine that one day he would climb to the highest summits and see what was on the other side, and
perhaps even visit the holy cities of Tibet, which his parents had told him lay beyond the mountains.
The whole of Tenzing's life is the story of how he made his dream come true.
He was forty when he got to the top of Everest, and after the age of forty-five, his climbing days were
over, but he still loved the mountains more than anything, and the Indian Government made him the
he could teach young Indians to love the mountains too.गिव द मीनिंग ऑफ द फॉलोइंग वर्ड इज यूज्ड इन पैसेज वन वर्ड आंसर और शार्ट पैसेज विल बी एक्सेप्टेड हिस्ट्री टाइमलाइन 3
