The Farmer and his Daughters Summary in English and Tamil

In the village of Manipuram, there lived a wealthy farmer. He had three daughters. All his daughters were married and living their life happily. The farmer was getting old. He wanted to distribute his wealth to his daughters. But he wanted to know what responsibility he could give to each of his daughters. He called all his daughters and gave each of them a bag of millet. He asked them to use grains in the best way possible and then come back to him after one year.

மணிப்புரம் என்ற கிராமத்தில் ஒரு பணக்கார விவசாயி வசித்து வந்தார். அவருக்கு மூன்று மகள்கள் இருந்தனர். அவரது எல்லா மகள்களுக்கும் திருமணமாகி, அவர்கள் மகிழ்ச்சியாக வாழ்ந்து கொண்டிருந்தனர். விவசாயிக்கு வயதாகிக் கொண்டிருந்தது. அவரது சொத்தை தனது மகள்களுக்கு பிரித்துக் கொடுக்க விரும்பினார். ஆனால் ஒவ்வொரு மகளுக்கும் எந்த பொறுப்பை கொடுப்பது என அறிய விரும்பினார். தனது மகள்களை அழைத்து ஒவ்வொருவருக்கும் ஒரு பை நிறைய
தினை வகையைச் சேர்ந்த தானியத்தைக் கொடுத்தார். அந்த தானியத்தை சிறந்த முறையில் பயன்படுத்திவிட்டு, ஓர் ஆண்டுக்குப்பிறகு தன்னை வந்து பார்க்கச் சொன்னார் அவர்.

After one year the daughters came back to their father’s house. The farmer welcomed all of them.

ஓர் ஆண்டுக்குப் பிறகு அவரது மகள்கள் அவரது வீட்டிற்கு வந்தார்கள். அந்த விவசாயி | மூவரையும் வரவேற்றார்.

First, he called the elder daughter and asked about what she had done with the grains given to her. She replied, “Father, I fed those grains to flocks of birds that I saw on my way back to home.”

முதலில், தன் மூத்த மகளை அழைத்து, அவளுக்கு கொடுத்த தானியத்தை என்னசெய்தாள் என கேட்டார். “அப்பா, நான் என் வீட்டுக்குப் போகும் வழியில் நான் பார்த்த பறவைகளுக்கெல்லாம் உணவாக கொடுத்துவிட்டேன்”, என்று அவள்
பதிலளித்தாள்.

Then the father called the second daughter and asked the same. She replied,”Father, I thought those grains were sacred. So I mixed those with other grains kept for community food service. So that everyone could have it. After this, the third daughter came. The farmer asked her about the grains.

பிறகு அவர் இரண்டாவது மகளை அழைத்து அதே கேள்வியைக் கேட்டார். “அப்பா, நான் அந்த தானியங்கள் புனிதமானவை என்று நினைத்தேன். ஆகவே அதை மற்ற தானியங்களோடு கலந்து, சமுதாய உணவு சேவைக்காக கொடுத்துவிட்டேன். ப்பிட முடியும்”, என்றாள் அவள். இதன் பிறகு மூன்றாவது மகள் வந்தாள். விவசாயி அவளிடம் தானியத்தைப் பற்றி கேட்டார்.

She said, “Father, I don’t have those grains with me now. I need two bullocks and men to get the grains.” Father was confused and asked her, “Why do you need bullocks and men to bring the grains here?” The daughter smiled and replied “I sowed those grains and now it has grown as crops. So, I need a bullock cart and men harvest and bring back the grains.” Father was happy to know that she used the grains wisely.

அவள் கூறினாள், “அப்பா, இப்போது அந்த தானியங்கள் என்னிடம் இல்லை. தானியத்தைக் கொண்டுவர இரண்டு காளையுடனான மாட்டு வண்டியும், ஆட்களும் எனக்கு தேவைப்படுகிறது”. அவளது தந்தை குழப்பமடைந்து, “அந்த
தானியத்தை இங்கே கொண்டுவர எதற்காக உனக்கு மாட்டு வண்டியும் ஆட்களும் தேவைப்படுகிறது?”, என கேட்டார். அந்த மகள்புன்னகைத்தபடியே, “அந்த தானியங்களை to நான் வயலில் பயிரிட்டேன். இப்போது அவை பெருமளவில் வளர்ந்து பயிராகியுள்ளன. அதை அறுவடை செய்து, எடுத்து வர மாட்டு வண்டியும், ஆட்களும் எனக்குத் தேவை”, என்று
பதில் சொன்னாள். புத்திசாலித்தனமாக அவள் தானியத்தை பயன்படுத்தியதை அறிந்து, அவளது தந்தை மகிழ்ச்சியடைந்தார்.

Father found her apt and gave her the responsibility of the fields. He distributed his other wealth equally among the other two daughters.

அவளே தன் நிலங்களை பராமரிக்க தகுந்தவள் என அவளது தந்தை அறிந்து கொண்டு, வயல்களுக்கான பொறுப்பை அவளிடம் கொடுத்தார். தனது பிற சொத்துகளை சமமாக | பிரித்து இரு மகள்களுக்குக் கொடுத்தார்.
