(अगले दिन क्रिकेट मैच में गौरव की टीम हार जाती है, क्योंकि वह अकेला था।)

Agale din cricket match me Gaurav ki team haar jaathi he, kyouki vaha akela tha.

गौरव: (दुखी होकर) काश, मैंने सबके साथ मिलकर खेला होता!

नीलू – good kid – Sara

रोहन – naughty kid – Krish

पेड़ - Ishat

रोहन: अरे नीलू, पेड़-पौधों को नुकसान मत पहुँचाओ, ये हमारे लिए बहुत ज़रूरी हैं!

Rohan: Arey Neelu, Ped-paudhe ko nuksan mat pahuchaon, Yeh humare liye bahut jaruri hai!

नीलू: अरे, ये तो बस एक पौधा है, इससे क्या फर्क पड़ेगा?

Neelu: Arey, Yeh to bus ek paudha hau, isse kya furk padenga?

(अचानक एक बड़ा पेड़ बोलने लगता है!)

(Achanak ek bada ped bolne lagata hai!)

पेड़: नीलू, अगर तुम हमें काटते जाओगे, तो क्या होगा? न हवा मिलेगी, न छाया, न फल!

Ped: Neelu, agar tum hume katate jaonge, to kya honga? Na hawa milengi, Na chaya, Na Ful!

नीलू: (चौंककर) अरे! पेड़ बोल सकता है?

Neetu: (Chaunkkar) arey! Ped bol sakta hai?

रोहन: (हंसते हुए) नहीं, यह प्रकृति का संदेश है कि हमें पेड़ बचाने चाहिए।

Rohan : (Hansate huye) nahi, yah prakruti ka sandesh hai ki hume ped bachane chaiye.

नीलू: मैं अब कभी पेड़ नहीं तोड़ूंगा, बल्कि नए पौधे लगाऊंगा!

Neelu : Maine aab kavhi ped nahi todunga, balki naye paudeh lagaunga.

Welcome everyone to Hindi D. In our first class on 9/15, we focused on conversational Hindi. 

Each student spoke several sentences about themselves and also described their major activities during summer.

Some students received their Kilkaari 4 books and the rest will get the same next or the following week. 

HW is that each student will write 7 sentences about themselves in Hindi- like their name, age etc on a sheet of paper and turn it in to the teen teacher on 9/22.

All students need to bring a notebook and pencils.

Next two classes will be taught by the back up teacher on 9/22 and 9/29. Our current room assignment was Cafe 2, but it might change. Please watch out for the HATS announcement for any changes.
