Topic1: Concepts of Partnership and Partnership Deed
1. Partnership According to Section 4 of the Indian Partnership Act, 1932, ‘Partnership is defined as, ‘the relation between persons who have, agreed to share the profits of a business carried on by all or any of them acting for all’.
2. Nature of Partnership Partnership is a separate business entity from accounting point of view, but from a legal viewpoint, partnership firm is not a separate legal entity from its partners.
3. Features of Partnership
(i) Two or more persons (ii) Agreement
(iii) Business (iv) Mutual agency
(v) Sharing of profits and losses (vi) Liability of partnership
(vii) Management and control (viii) Registration
4. Partnership Deed It is a document which contains the terms and conditions of partnership agreement.
A firm should have a partnership deed because:
(i) It regulates the rights, duties and liabilities of the partners.
(ii) It avoids disputes in future by acting as a proof.
5. Accounting Rules Applicable in the Absence of Partnership Deed
(i) Sharing of profits and losses – Equally.
(ii) Interest on capital – Not allowed.
(iii) Remuneration or salary to the partners – Not allowed.
(iv) Interest on partner’s loan – Allowed @ 6% per annum.
(v) Interest on drawings – Not charged.
Topic 2: Computation of Appropriation Items and Charge Items
1. Interest on Capital Interest on capital is allowed to compensate partners for contributing capital to the firm. It is paid only if the same has been provided for in the partnership.
Accounting for Not-for-Profit Organisation - CBSE Notes for Class 12 Accountancy Img 1
JOURNAL
(i) Interest on Capital A/c                              Dr
To Partners Capital/Current A/c
(ii) Profit and Loss Appropriation A/c       Dr
To Interest on Capital A/c
Different cases related to interest on capital:
(i) When partnership deed is silent-Not allowed
(ii) When partnership deed provides that interest on capital is to be allowed.
There are three possible conditions:
(a) In case of loss Not allowed.
(b) In case of sufficient profit Interest on capital is allowed in full.
(c) In case of insufficient profit Interest on capital is allowed proportionately to the extent of profits. In this case profits are distributed in capital ratio.
(iii) If interest on capital is to be provided as a charge, it is allowed in full irrespective of profit or losses.
NOTE (i) Interest on additional capital will be calculated for the period it remained with the firm, i.e. from the date of introduction of additional capital to the last day of accounting year.
If Opening Capital is not given, it can be calculated as:
Opening Capital = Closing Capital + Drawings – Profits – Additional Capital
(ii) Interest on capital is calculated on the opening balance of the capital for the full year.
2. Interest on Partner’s Drawings The amount withdrawn by partners in cash or in kind for their personal use in anticipation of profits, is termed as drawings. When the partnership deed is silent, no interest on drawings is charged. Interest on drawings is calculated with reference to time period for which money was withdrawn. Interest on drawings in different cases is calculated as follows:
(i) If a partner withdraws a fixed amount in the beginning, middle and end of each period.
Accounting for Not-for-Profit Organisation - CBSE Notes for Class 12 Accountancy Img 2
Value of time under different circumstances will be as under:
Accounting for Not-for-Profit Organisation - CBSE Notes for Class 12 Accountancy Img 3
(ii) When an unequal amount is withdrawn at different dates, the interest on drawings is calculated with the help of
(a) Simple method
(b) Product method
Accounting for Not-for-Profit Organisation - CBSE Notes for Class 12 Accountancy Img 4
(iii) If the date of withdraw is not given, then the interest on total drawings for the year is calculated for a six month period on an average basis.
3. Accounting Treatment of Salary or Commission to a Partner
Salary or commission to a partner is to be allowed if the partnership agreement provides for the same. Salary or commission to a partner is an appropriation out of profits and not a charge against the profits, i.e. they are to be allowed only if there are profits and hence, must be transferred to the debit of profit and loss appropriation account and not to the debit of profit and loss account.
Commission may be allowed as a percentage of net profit before charging such commission or after charging such commission.
Accounting for Not-for-Profit Organisation - CBSE Notes for Class 12 Accountancy Img 5
NOTE: Charges such as interest on partner’s loans, manager’s salary and commission must be deducted from profit before transferring it to profit and loss appropriation account.
4. Accounting Treatment of Interest on Partner’s Loan to the Firm Interest on partner’s loan is a charge against the profits and not an appropriation out of profits and hence, must be transferred to the debit of profit and loss account and not to the debit of profit and loss appropriation account.
NOTE: (i) If there is an agreement as to the rate of interest, partner is entitled to an interest on loan at an agreed rate of interest. If there is no agreement as to the rate of interest, partner is entitled to interest on loan @ 6% per annum.
(ii) Interest on partner’s loan is not recorded in the partner’s capital/current account but it should be recorded to the credit side of partner’s loan account if it is outstanding.
5. Rent Paid to a Partner It is a charge against the profit and not an appropriation out of profits. It is, therefore, debited to profit and loss account and credited to partner’s current account in case of fixed capitals or to partner’s capital account, when capitals are fluctuating.
Topic 3: Maintenance of Capital Accounts of Partners: Fixed and Fluctuating Capital
1. Fixed Capital Under this method, the capitals of the partners shall remain fixed, unless additional capital is introduced or a part of the capital is withdrawn, as per the agreement among the partners.
Two accounts are maintained under this method:
Capital accounts and current accounts.
Transactions related to introduction and withdrawal of capital are recorded in capital account, rest are recorded in current account.
Capital account will always have credit balance and current account may have credit or debit balance.
Accounting for Not-for-Profit Organisation - CBSE Notes for Class 12 Accountancy Img 6
2. Fluctuating Capital Under this method, only one account, i.e. capital account of each partner is maintained.
All transactions are recorded in capital accounts. Generally, capital account has credit balance but in exceptional cases it may have debit balance due to heavy losses or withdrawals.

Reconstitution of a Partnership Firm — Admission of a Partner – CBSE Notes for Class 12 Accountancy

Reconstitution of a Partnership Firm — Admission of a Partner –  CBSE Notes for Class 12 Accountancy

CBSE NotesCBSE Notes AccountancyNCERT Solutions Accountancy

Topic 1: introduction and New Profit Sharing Ratio and Sacrificing Ratio
1. Meaning Admission of a partner is one of the modes of reconstituting the firm under which old partnership comes to an end and a new one between all partners (including incoming partner) comes into existence.
According to Section 31(1) of Indian Partnership Act, 1932, ‘A new partner can be admitted only with the consent of all the existing partners’.
A new partner is admitted for the following purposes:
(i) For procuring additional capital.
(ii) For acquiring additional managerial skills.
A newly admitted partner acquires following two main rights in the firm:
(i) Share in the future profits of the firm.
(ii) Share in the assets of the firm.
2. Adjustments Required at the Time of Admission of a New Partner
(i) Calculation of new profit sharing ratio and sacrificing ratio.
(ii) Accounting treatment of goodwill.
(iii) Accounting treatment of revaluation of assets and re-assessment of liabilities.
(iv) Accounting treatment of reserves accumulated profit and losses.
(v) Adjustment of capital.
3. New Profit Sharing Ratio The ratio in which all the partners (including incoming partner) share the future profits and losses is known as new profit sharing ratio.
New Profit Sharing Ratio = Old Ratio – Sacrificing Ratio
4. Sacrificing Ratio It is the ratio in which the old partners have agreed to sacrifice their share of profits in favour of new or incoming partner.
Sacrificing Ratio = Old Ratio – New Ratio
Topic 2: Treatment of Goodwill
1. Accounting Treatment of Goodwill When a new partner is admitted, his share in future profits of the firm is equal to the sacrifice of profit by an existing partner or partners of the firm, the amount he pays to compensate this sacrifice is called goodwill.
2. Various cases related to the treatment of goodwill
(i) When premium for goodwill is paid privately by new partner.
In case a new partner pays premium to the old partners privately or directly or outside the business, it will not be recorded because it is an out of business transaction. However, entry will be passed for capital brought in by new partner.
(ii) When premium for goodwill is brought in business by new partner in cash and retained in the business
(a) Write-off the existing goodwill (if any) appearing in the books of the firms
Old Partner’s Capital A/c Dr [In old ratio]
To Goodwill A/c
(b) For bringing premium for goodwill and capital in cash:
Cash/Bank A/c Dr
To Premium for Goodwill A/c To New Partner’s Capital A/c
(c) For distributing premium to sacrificing (old) partners in their sacrificing ratio:
Premium for Goodwill A/c Dr
To Sacrificing Partner’s Capital A/c
(iii) When premium for goodwill is brought in kind
(a) For bringing premium for goodwill and capital in assets:
Assets A/c Dr
To Premium for Goodwill A/c To New Partner’s Capital A/c
(b) For distributing premium to sacrificing (old) partners in their sacrificing ratio:
Premium for Goodwill A/c Dr
To Sacrificing Partner’s Capital A/c
(iv) When premium for goodwill is brought in by new partner and is withdrawn by old (sacrificing) partners folly or partly.
(a) For bringing premium for goodwill in cash by new partner
Cash/Bank A/c Dr [Amount of premium]
To Premium for Goodwill A/c
(b) For sharing of premium for goodwill by sacrificing partners
Premium for Goodwill A/c Dr [Amount of premium]
To Sacrificing Partner’s Capital A/c (in sacrificing ratio)
(c) For withdrawal of premium money by sacrificing partners fully/partly
Sacrificing Partner’s Capital A/c (Amount withdrawn) Dr To Cash/Bank A/c
(v) When a new partner brings only a part of premium for goodwill in cash
(a) For amount brought in by incoming Partner
Cash/Bank A/c Dr
To Premium for Goodwill A/c To New Partner’s Capital A/c
(b) For distributing the total goodwill due from incoming partner to sacrificing (old) partners in their sacrificing ratio
Premium for Goodwill A/c Dr
New Partner’s Capital/ Current A/c Dr
To Sacrificing (old) Partner’s Capital/ Current A/c
(vi) When the new partner is unable to bring his share of premium for goodwill in cash or kind
New Partner’s Capital/Current A/c Dr
To Sacrificing (old) Partner’s Capital/Current A/c
3. Hidden Goodwill Hidden or inferred goodwill is the excess of desired total capital of the firm over the actual combined capital of all the partners. In case, the value of goodwill is not given at the time of admission of a new partner, it is required to be calculated on the basis of an inferred method of profit sharing ratio or capitalisation.
CBSE Notes for Class 12 Accountancy Img 1
Topic 3: Revaluation of Assets and Re-assessment of Liabilities
1. Meaning of Revaluation Account The account which is prepared to record changes in the value of assets and liabilities at the time of admission, retirement, death and change in profit sharing ratio is called revaluation account.
2. Accounting Treatment
The relevant journal entries are:

Format of Revaluation Account
CBSE Notes for Class 12 Accountancy Img 3
3. Accounting Treatment of Reserves, Undistributed Profits or Losses
The new partner is not entitled to any share in undistributed profits or losses appearing in the balance sheet at the time of admission, as these are earned by the old partners. So, these should be transferred to old partners’ capital/current account.
Journal entries passed will be
(i) For Undistributed Profits,
General Reserve A/c Profit and Loss A/c Workmen Compensation Fund A/c Investment Fluctuation Fund A/c between book value and market value]
To Old Partner’s Capital/Current A/c [Old ratio]
(ii) For Undistributed Losses
Old Partner’s Capital/Current A/c Dr [Old ratio]
To Profit and Loss A/c To Deferred Revenue Expenditure A/c
Topic 4: Adjustment of Capital
At the time of admission of a new partner, the partners may agree that their capitals should also be adjusted so as to be proportionate to their profit sharing ratio.
The capitals of partners may be adjusted in any of the following ways:
(i) Adjusting the capitals of old partners on the basis of the capital of incoming partner
(When the total capital of the new firm is not given)
Steps involved in adjusting the capitals of old partners:
Step 1 Calculate total capital of the firm on the basis of capital of new partner.
Step 2 Calculate the new capitals of each partner.
Step 3 Ascertain the present capital of old partners (adjusted).
Step 4 Calculate the surplus/deficit capital by comparing Step 2 and Step 3.
(ii) Determining the new partner’s capital on the basis of combined capital of old partners
Steps involved in the determination of capital of new partner:
Step 1 Calculate the adjusted old capitals of old partners (after all adjustments have been made.
Step 2 Calculate the total capital of new firm.
Step 3 Calculate the total capitals of new partners as follows:
Total Capital (Step 2) x Share of New Partner

Electric Charges And Fields Class 12 Notes
1. Electric Charge
Charge is the property associated with matter due to which it produces and experiences electric and magnetic effect.
2. Conductors and Insulators Those substances which readily allow the passage of electricity through them are called conductors, e.g. metals, the earth and those substances which offer high resistance to the passage of electricity are called insulators, e.g. plastic rod and nylon.
3. Transference of electrons is the cause of frictional electricity.
4. Additivity of Charges Charges are scalars and they add up like real numbers. It means if a system consists of n charges q1, q2, q3 , … ,qn, then total charge of the system will be q1 +q2 + … +qn.
5. Conservation of Charge The total charge of an isolated system is always conserved, i.e. initial and final charge of the system will be same.
6. Quantisation of Charge Charge exists in discrete amount rather than continuous value and hence, quantised.
Mathematically, charge on an object, q=±ne
where, n is an integer and e is electronic charge. When any physical quantity exists in discrete packets rather than in continuous amount, the quantity is said to be quantised. Hence, charge is quantised.

Units and Measurement Class 11 Notes Physics Chapter 2

Units And Measurements Class 11

  • Measurement
    The process of measurement is basically a comparison process. To measure a physical quantity, we have to find out how many times a standard amount of that physical quantity is present in the quantity being measured. The number thus obtained is known as the magnitude and the standard chosen is called the unit of the physical quantity.
  •  Unit
    The unit of a physical quantity is an arbitrarily chosen standard which is widely accepted by the society and in terms of which other quantities of similar nature may be measured.
  • Standard
    The actual physical embodiment of the unit of a physical quantity is known as a standard of that physical quantity.
    • To express any measurement made we need the numerical value (n) and the unit (μ). Measurement of physical quantity = Numerical value x Unit
    For example: Length of a rod = 8 m
    where 8 is numerical value and m (metre) is unit of length.
  • Fundamental Physical Quantity/Units
    It is an elementary physical quantity, which does not require any other physical quantity to express it. It means it cannot be resolved further in terms of any other physical quantity. It is also known as basic physical quantity.
    The units of fundamental physical quantities are called fundamental units.
    For example, in M. K. S. system, Mass, Length and Time expressed in kilogram, metre and second respectively are fundamental units.
  • Derived Physical Quantity/Units
    All those physical quantities, which can be derived from the combination of two or more fundamental quantities or can be expressed in terms of basic physical quantities, are called derived physical quantities.
    The units of all other physical quantities, which car. be obtained from fundamental units, are called derived units. For example, units of velocity, density and force are m/s, kg/m3, kg m/s2 respectively and they are examples of derived units.
  • Systems of Units
    Earlier three different units systems were used in different countries. These were CGS, FPS and MKS systems. Now-a-days internationally SI system of units is followed. In SI unit system, seven quantities are taken as the base quantities.
    (i) CGS System. Centimetre, Gram and Second are used to express length, mass and time respectively.
    (ii) FPS System. Foot, pound and second are used to express length, mass and time respectively.
    (iii) MKS System. Length is expressed in metre, mass is expressed in kilogram and time is expressed in second. Metre, kilogram and second are used to express length, mass and time respectively.
    (iv) SI Units. Length, mass, time, electric current, thermodynamic temperature, Amount of substance and luminous intensity are expressed in metre, kilogram, second, ampere, kelvin, mole and candela respectively.
  • Definitions of Fundamental Units
    Units and Measurement Class 11 Notes Physics Chapter 2 Img 1
  • Supplementary Units
    Besides the above mentioned seven units,there are two supplementary base units. these are (i) radian (rad) for angle, and (ii) steradian (sr) for solid angle.
    Units and Measurement Class 11 Notes Physics Chapter 2 Img 2
  • Advantages of SI Unit System
    SI Unit System has following advantages over the other Besides the above mentioned seven units, there are two supplementary base units. These are systems of units:
    Units and Measurement Class 11 Notes Physics Chapter 2 Img 3
    (i) It is internationally accepted,
    (ii) It is a rational unit system,
    (iii) It is a coherent unit system,
    (iv) It is a metric system,
    (v) It is closely related to CGS and MKS systems of units,
    (vi) Uses decimal system, hence is more user friendly.
  • Other Important Units of Length
    For measuring large distances e.g., distances of planets and stars etc., some bigger units of length such as ‘astronomical unit’, ‘light year’, parsec’ etc. are used.
    • The average separation between the Earth and the sun is called one astronomical unit.
    1 AU = 1.496 x 1011 m.
    • The distance travelled by light in vacuum in one year is called light year.
    1 light year = 9.46 x 1015 m.
    • The distance at which an arc of length of one astronomical unit subtends an angle of one second at a point is called parsec.
    1 parsec = 3.08 x 1016 m
    • Size of a tiny nucleus = 1 fermi = If = 10-15 m
    • Size of a tiny atom = 1 angstrom = 1A = 10-10 m
  • Parallax Method
    This method is used to measure the distance of planets and stars from earth.
    Parallax. Hold a pen in front of your eyes and look at the pen by closing the right eye and ‘ then the left eye. What do you observe? The position of the pen changes with respect to the background. This relative shift in the position of the pen (object) w.r.t. background is called parallax.
    If a distant object e.g., a planet or a star subtends parallax angle 0 on an arc of radius b (known as basis) on Earth, then distance of that distant object from the basis is given by
    Units and Measurement Class 11 Notes Physics Chapter 2 Img 4
    • To estimate size of atoms we can use electron microscope and tunneling microscopy technique. Rutherford’s a-particle scattering experiment enables us to estimate size of nuclei of different elements.
    • Pendulum clocks, mechanical watches (in which vibrations of a balance wheel are used) and quartz watches are commonly used to measure time. Cesium atomic clocks can be used to measure time with an accuracy of 1 part in 1013 (or to a maximum discrepancy of 3 ps in a year).
    • The SI unit of mass is kilogram. While dealing with atoms/ molecules and subatomic particles we define a unit known as “unified atomic mass unit” (1 u), where 1 u = 1.66 x 10-27 kg.

  • Estimation of Molecular Size of Oleic Acid
    For this 1 cm3 of oleic acid is dissolved in alcohol to make a solution of 20 cm3. Then 1 cm3 of this solution is taken and diluted to 20 cm3, using alcohol. So, the concentration of the solution is as follows:
    Units and Measurement Class 11 Notes Physics Chapter 2 Img 6
    After that some lycopodium powder is lightly sprinkled on the surface of water in a large trough and one drop of this solution is put in water. The oleic acid drop spreads into a thin, large and roughly circular film of molecular thickness on water surface. Then, the diameter of the thin film is quickly measured to get its area A. Suppose n drops were put in the water. Initially, the approximate volume of each drop is determined (V cm3).
    Volume of n drops of solution = nV cm3
    Amount of oleic acid in this solution
    Units and Measurement Class 11 Notes Physics Chapter 2 Img 7
    The solution of oleic acid spreads very fast on the surface of water and forms a very thin layer of thickness t. If this spreads to form a film of area A cm2, then thickness of the film
    Units and Measurement Class 11 Notes Physics Chapter 2 Img 8
    If we assume that the film has mono-molecular thickness, this becomes the size or diameter of a molecule of oleic acid. The value of this thickness comes out to be of the order of 10-9 m.
  • Dimensions
    The dimensions of a physical quantity are the powers to which the fundamental units of mass, length and time must be raised to represent the given physical quantity.
  • Dimensional Formula
    The dimensional formula of a physical quantity is an expression telling us how and which of the fundamental quantities enter into the unit of that quantity.
    It is customary to express the fundamental quantities by a capital letter, e.g., length (L), mass (AT), time (T), electric current (I), temperature (K) and luminous intensity (C). We write appropriate powers of these capital letters within square brackets to get the dimensional formula of any given physical quantity.
  • Applications of Dimensions
    The concept of dimensions and dimensional formulae are put to the following uses:
    (i) Checking the results obtained
    (ii) Conversion from one system of units to another
    (iii) Deriving relationships between physical quantities
    (iv) Scaling and studying of models.
    The underlying principle for these uses is the principle of homogeneity of dimensions. According to this principle, the ‘net’ dimensions of the various physical quantities on both sides of a permissible physical relation must be the same; also only dimensionally similar quantities can be added to or subtracted from each other.
    Units and Measurement Class 11 Notes Physics Chapter 2 Img 9
  • Limitations of Dimensional Analysis
    The method of dimensions has the following limitations:
    (i) by this method the value of dimensionless constant cannot be calculated.
    (ii) by this method the equation containing trigonometric, exponential and logarithmic terms cannot be analyzed.
    (iii) if a physical quantity in mechanics depends on more than three factors, then relation among them cannot be established because we can have only three equations by equalizing the powers of M, L and T.
    (iv) it doesn’t tell whether the quantity is vector or scalar.
  • Significant Figures
    The significant figures are a measure of accuracy of a particular measurement of a physical quantity.
    Significant figures in a measurement are those digits in a physical quantity that are known reliably plus the first digit which is uncertain.
  • The Rules for Determining the Number of Significant Figures
    (i) All non-zero digits are significant.
    (ii) All zeroes between non-zero digits are significant.
    (iii) All zeroes to the right of the last non-zero digit are not significant in numbers without decimal point.
    (iv) All zeroes to the right of a decimal point and to the left of a non-zero digit are not significant.
    (v) All zeroes to the right of a decimal point and to the right of a non-zero digit are significant.
    (vi) In addition and subtraction, we should retain the least decimal place among the values operated, in the result.
    (vii) In multiplication and division, we should express the result with the least number of significant figures as associated with the least precise number in operation.
    (viii) If scientific notation is not used:
    (a) For a number greater than 1, without any decimal, the trailing zeroes are not significant.
    (b) For a number with a decimal, the trailing zeros are significant.
  •  Error
    The measured value of the physical quantity is usually different from its true value. The result of every measurement by any measuring instrument is an approximate number, which contains some uncertainty. This uncertainty is called error. Every calculated quantity, which is based on measured values, also has an error.
  • Causes of Errors in Measurement
    Following are the causes of errors in measurement:
    Units and Measurement Class 11 Note
    Least Count Error. The least count error is the error associated with the resolution of the instrument. Least count may not be sufficiently small. The maximum possible error is equal to the least count.
    Instrumental Error. This is due to faulty calibration or change in conditions (e.g., thermal expansion of a measuring scale). An instrument may also have a zero error. A correction has to be applied.
    Random Error. This is also called chance error. It makes to give different results for same measurements taken repeatedly. These errors are assumed to follow the Gaussian law of normal distribution.
    Accidental Error. This error gives too high or too low results. Measurements involving this error are not included in calculations.
    Systematic Error. The systematic errors are those errors that tend to be in one direction, either positive or negative. Errors due to air buoyancy in weighing and radiation loss in calorimetry are systematic errors. They can be eliminated by manipulation. Some of the sources of systematic errors are:
    (i) intrumental error
    (ii) imperfection in experimental technique or procedure
    (iii) personal errors
  • Absolute Error, Relative Error and Percentage Error

What Happened to the Reptiles Summary In English

What Happened To The Reptiles Summary
Prem lived in a village. Last year something terrible happened there. The people of the village went mad. They started fighting with one another. Many houses were burnt. Many people were killed. So Prem ran away from his village. He ran a long time and finally reached Pambupatti. He saw some villagers standing near the well. He ran to them. Before he could say anything, he fainted.

When he opened his eyes, he found himself with an old man. Soon other villagers also came to him. They were all very kind. Prem said to the old man that he had never seen such a village in his life. His village was very different. At all other villages, he had seen people fighting in the name of religion or language. At Pambapatti, people lived in peace and cared for each other’s welfare. Thus Pambapatti was different from any other village. At this the old man told Prem a story. He said that Prem should tell that story in his own village when he reached there. At this Prem protested. He was determined not to return to his village. The behaviour of his villagers made him burn with shame. The old man, however, told his story.

What Happened To The Reptiles Summary Class 6
It happened a long, long time ago. Children lived in caves with their parents. As for animals, there were only reptiles. Every month the reptiles of Pambupatti had a big meeting. The president of these meetings was Makara, the biggest crocodile of the forest. Since it was the strongest, every reptile agreed with what he said.

Now one day Makara sent a letter to tortoises. He asked them not to come to the next meeting. A tortoise named Ahistay was very angry at it. Yet none of the tortoises had the courage to attend the meeting. Before the meeting Makara polished his teeth red so that they sparkled. At the meeting he said that the forest didn’t need tortoises. When some reptile tried to show his disagreement, Makara shouted to silence him. He said that the tortoises were stupid and slow. They are stupid enough to carry their houses on their back. Then he announced that he had given tortoises one week to leave the forest.

So the tortoises had to go. At first, all the animals were sad. But soon thereafter they were happy because there was now more food, more water and more space for them. After a few days, a smell of rot began to fill the forest.

What Happened To The Reptiles Summary Class 6 In Hindi
A month passed by. Now it was the turn of the snakes to be ordered out. Again, for a while the animals were happy because they had now no fear of a snake bite. A few days passed and the animals found that there were too many rats about them. After all, there were no snakes to eat them. The rats ate up the eggs of lizards and crocodiles. They chewed up even Makara’s own nest of eggs.

Then Makara had another idea. He asked every animal except the crocodiles to leave the forest. Now all kinds of awful things began to happen. The rats became bolder and now there were too many frogs as well. With the lizards gone, there were now millions of insects bigger and nastier than ever. It was a bad time for crocodiles. They could not understand what had happened to their happy forest home.

Summary Of What Happened To The Reptiles
Then the crocodiles understood the real problem. They were no longer so afraid of Makara. They sent urgent messages for the tortoises, snakes and lizards to come back to Pambupatti. It was a great day when all of them came back. In two months, the forest was back to normal.

Now Prem decided to return to his village and tell the story to his villagers. Some of them may laugh. Yet they may remember one day and understand that each of us has a place in the world. So for the welfare of his village, Prem wants to tell the story of reptiles to the people of his village.

What Happened to the Reptiles Summary In Hindi

प्रेम एक गाँव में रहता था। पिछले वर्ष वहाँ एक भयानक बात हुई। गाँव के लोग पागल हो गये। उन्होंने एक दूसरे से लड़ना प्रारंभ कर दिया। बहुत से घर जला दिए। बहुत से लोग मारे गये। अतः प्रेम अपने गाँव से भाग निकला। वह बड़ी देर तक भागता रहा और अंतत: पंबुपट्टी में पहुँच गया। उसने कुंए के पास कुछ ग्रामीणों को खड़े देखा। वह उनके पास दौड़ गया। इससे पहले कि वह कुछ बोल पाता वह मूर्छित हो गया।

Class 6 English What Happened To The Reptiles Summary
जब उसकी आँखें खुलीं, उसने अपने आपको एक बूढ़े आदमी के पास पाया। शीघ्र ही दूसरे ग्रामीण भी उसके पास आ गये। वे सब बड़े दयालु थे। प्रेम ने उस बूढ़े से कहा कि उसने अपने जीवन में कभी ऐसा गाँव नहीं देखा था। उसका गाँव इससे एकदम अलग था। अन्य सभी ग्रामों में उसने लोगों को धर्म अथवा भाषा के नाम पर लड़ते देखा था। पंबुपट्टी के लोग शांति से रहते और एक-दूसरे की चिंता करते थे। इस प्रकार पंबुपट्टी किसी भी अन्य गाँव से अलग था। इस पर बूढे व्यक्ति ने प्रेम को एक कहानी सुनायी। उसने कहा कि अपने गाँव में पहुँचने पर प्रेम यह कहानी अपने गाँव में सुनाये। प्रेम ने इसका विरोध किया। वह अपने गाँव को न लौटने पर आमादा था। अपने गाँव के लोगों के व्यवहार पर वह अत्यधिक शर्मिदा था। फिर भी बूढ़े ने अपनी कहानी सुनाई।

यह घटना बहुत बहुत समय पहले की है। बच्चे अपने माता-पिता के साथ गुफाओं में रहते थे। जहाँ तक पशुओं की बात है वहाँ सिर्फ सरीसृप (रेंगने वाले प्राणी) ही थे। पंबुपट्टी के सारे सरीसृपों को हर महीने एक बड़ी सभा होती थी। जंगल का सबसे बड़ा मगर जिसका नाम माकर था, इन सभाओं में सभापति होता था। क्योंकि वह सबसे अधिक ताकतवाला था, सारे सरीसृप उसकी बात से सहमत हो जाते थे।

What Happened To The Reptiles Summary In Hindi
अब एक दिन माकर ने कछुओं को एक पत्र भेजा। उसने उनसे अगली सभा में न आने को कहा। अहिस्तय नामक एक कछुए को इस पर बड़ा क्रोध आया। फिर भी किसी कछुए की हिम्मत सभा में आने की नहीं हुई। सभा के पहले माकर ने अपने दाँतों को लाल रंग से रंग दिया जिससे वह दमदमाने लगे। सभा में उसने कहा कि जंगल को कछुओं की जरूरत नहीं है। जब किसी सरीसृप ने अपनी असहमति दिखाने का प्रयत्न किया तो माकर ने चीख कर उसे चुप करा दिया। उसने कहा कि कछुएं मूर्ख और आलसी हैं। वे इतने मूर्ख हैं कि अपने घरों को अपनी पीठ पर लेकर चलते हैं। फिर उसने घोषणा की कि उसने कछुओं को जंगल छोड़ने के लिए एक सप्ताह का समय दिया है|

इस प्रकार कछुओं को जाना पड़ा। पहले तो सारे जानवर कुछ दु:खी हुए। परन्तु शीघ्र ही उसके बाद वे खुश हो गये क्योंकि अब उनके पास अधिक भोजन, अधिक पानी और अधिक स्थान था। कुछ दिनों बाद ही सारे जंगल, में सड़ांध फैलने लगी।

What Happened To The Reptiles Story In Hindi
एक महीना गुजर गया। अब बाहर निकाले जाने की बारी साँपों की थी। एक बार फिर कुछ समय के लिए जानवर प्रसन्न हो गये क्योंकि अब साँप से काटे जाने का उनका डर समाप्त हो गया था। कुछ दिन गुजरे और फिर पशुओं ने देखा कि उनके आस-पास चूहों की संख्या बहुत बढ़ गयी है। आखिर उन्हें खाने के लिए साँप नहीं थे। चूहों ने छिपकली और मगरमच्छ के अण्डों को खा लिया। उन्होंने माकर के अपने अण्डों का घोंसला भी खा डाला।

फिर माकर के दिमाग में एक और विचार आया। उसने मगरमच्छों को छोड़कर हर जानवर को जंगल से भाग जाने के लिए कहा। अब सब प्रकार की भयानक बातें होने लगीं। चूहों की हिम्मत और बढ़ गयी और अब मेंढक भी बहुत बढ़ गए थे। छिपकलियों के चले जाने से अब कीड़े लाखों की संख्या में बढ़ गये थे और ये पहले कभी की अपेक्षा कहीं अधिक बड़े और कष्टदायी भी थे। मगरमच्छों के लिए यह बुरा वक्त था। उनकी समझ में नहीं आ रहा था कि उनके खुशहाल जंगल-घर को आखिर हो क्या गया था।

Class 6 English Supplementary Chapter 9 Summary
अब मगरमच्छों को असली समस्या समझ में आ गयी। अब वे माकर से उतना डरते भी नहीं थे। उन्होंने कछुओं, साँपों और छिपकलियों के पास आवश्यक संदेश भेजा कि वे पंबुपट्टी में वापस आ जायें। वह महान दिन था जब वे सभी वापस आ गए। दो महीने के अंदर जंगल वापस पुरानी स्थिति में आ गया।

अब प्रेम ने निश्चय किया कि वह अपने गाँव वापस लौटेगा और अपने गाँववालों को यह कहानी सुनायेगा। हो सकता है उनमें से कुछ लोग हँसेंगे। फिर भी शायद वह इसे एक दिन याद करें और समझें कि इस संसार में हममें से प्रत्येक का एक स्थान है। अतः अपने गाँव की भलाई की खातिर, प्रेम सरीसृपों की कहानी अपने गाँव के लोगों को बताना चाहता है।

A Strange Wrestling Match Summary
Vijay Singh was a famous wrestler. But boasting was Vijay Singh’s weakness.
One day he was sitting in the market drinking milk. There were several youngmen surrounding him. Suddenly he boasted, “Why are people afraid of ghosts? I am not. I wish I met a stout ghost.

Thus, he declared his wish to meet a stout ghost. A person told him that ghosts roamed freely in the Haunted Desert. They looted and killed the travellers Vijay Singh felt scared. He felt that his boasting had pushed him into an awkward situation. Outwardly, he showed his disbelief in such fairy (false) tales.

Vijay Singh was told that the Haunted Desert was beyond an ugly black rock on the road to Jaisalmer. Vijay Singh made up his mind to find a ghost in the Haunted Desert. The entire village bade him farewell. An old woman handed him a small packet. Vijay Singh knew that the woman was very wise and not eccentric. Her gift, later on, helped him much to scare the ghost. Vijay Singh started walking. He reached the desert at sunset. It was a moonlit night. The ugly black rock was still a few miles ahead.
