summary on "the story teller" by h.h. munro saki in hindi

Answer 1

The story opens on a hot summer day with three small children and their aunt sitting in a railway carriage on the way to Templecombe. Together with them in the carriage is a unknown man who observes their behavior. The children are bored and ask their aunt various questions. She tells them to observe the surroundings, but that encourages even more curiosity. In order to keep the children quiet for a while, the aunt decides to tell them a story. She comes up with a conventional, moralistic tale which fails to capture the interest of the children and creates even bigger discontent. As he also heard the story, the unknown man decides to point out its flaws. The aunt takes it as offense and challenges him to tell a better story.
The man invent a story that begins similarly as the previous one. He tells the children about a girl named Bertha who is so 'horribly good' that she even has three medals for that. One day the Prince notices how good Bertha has been and decides to reward her. Bertha is allowed to take a walk in the prince's gardens, where normally no children are permitted. She enjoys her walk until the point where the wolf shows up. Bertha hides behind a myrtle bush and almost manages to escape, but her medals clicking against each other give her away and the wolf eats her at once.
The children love this story, even though in the beginning they thought it would be horrible, as it started of similarly to the story of their aunt. They appreciate the realness of the story that lacked in the tale of their aunt. The aunt, however, finds the story 'most improper' to tell to young children. The man points out, that unlike her, he was at least capable of keeping the kids silent for ten minutes.

Answer 2

Answer:The Storyteller'' takes place on a railway carriage, a common type of transportation during the late 19th century when the story takes place.

In the story, the characters are traveling by railway.

Railway Journey

Three children are traveling under the supervision of their aunt. The children are bored and restless, so the aunt tells a story about a little girl getting rescued because she was so good. This moralistic tone doesn't suit the children. Remember, at this time children were to be well-behaved and quiet, ''seen and not heard.'' So it's no surprise that their aunt is annoyed with their liveliness and curiosity.

Then, a bachelor riding in the same railway car offers to tell another story. In his version, the good little girl is eaten by a wolf in the prince's park. The medals she has won for ''goodness'' actually betray the little girl by clinking together and showing the wolf where she's hiding.

The little girl is eaten by a wolf in the story told by the bachelor.

All of the good girl's model behavior turns out to be the cause of her gruesome death.

And this is how ''The Storyteller'' concludes. The children are delighted with the alternative ending to the usual moral tale served up to them by adults. The aunt is disgusted, and the bachelor is amused that the aunt will probably be asked, in the future, to come up with improper stories when they're in public.
