1. a. Translate the following prose piece into Hindi. 15
fuEufyf[kr x|akk dk fgUnh esa vuqokn djsa &

After breakfast I wanted to talk about the dead man and guess out how he had been
killed, but Jim didnt want to. He said it would fetch bad luck; and besides, he said, he
might come and haunt us; he said a man that wasnt buried was more likely to be
haunting around than one that was planted and comfortable. That sounded pretty
reasonable, so I didnt say any more; I couldnt keep from studying over it and wishing I
knew who shot that man, and what they had done it for.
We rummaged the clothes wed got, and found eight dollars in silver sewed up in the
lining of an old blanket overcoat. Jim said he reckoned the people in that house stole the
coat, because if they had known that money was there they wouldnt have left it. I said I
reckoned they killed him, too; but Jim didnt want to talk about that. I said: I fetched in
the snake-skin that I found on the top of the ridge day before yesterday? You said it was
the worst bad luck in the world to touch a snake-skin with my hands. Well heres your
bad luck!
