THE NIGHTINGALE AND THE ROSE UNIT-3 SUMMERY

 

summary

Ø The Nightingale promises to give the Student a red rose, built with her music and stained with her own heart’s blood, asking only that he be a true lover.

 

Ø The Student listens but cannot understand her words, as he only values book knowledge.

 

Ø The Oak-tree, who loves the Nightingale, feels sad and asks her to sing one last song before she leaves. She sings beautifully, like water from a silver jar.

Ø The Student, however, dismisses her sacrifice, saying she has style but no sincerity, and believes her music has no real meaning or practical use.

Ø He then returns to his room, lies on his bed, thinks about his love, and falls asleep.

 

ଏହାର ସାରାଂଶଟିକୁ ଓଡିଆରେ ଅନୁବାଦ କରାଗଲା —

 

Ø ନାଇଟିଙ୍ଗେଲ୍ ଛାତ୍ରକୁ ଏକ ଲାଲ୍ ଗୁଲାବ ଦେବାକୁ ପ୍ରତିଶ୍ରୁତି ଦେଲା, ସେ ତାହାକୁ ସଙ୍ଗୀତରୁ ତିଆରି କରିବେ ଏବଂ ନିଜ ରକ୍ତରେ ରଙ୍ଗିବେ। ପ୍ରତିଫଳରେ ସେ କେବଳ ଏତିକି ଚାହିଁଲେ ଯେ ଛାତ୍ରଟି ସତ୍ୟ ପ୍ରେମୀ ହେବ।

Ø ଛାତ୍ରୀ ତାହା ଶୁଣିଲେ, କିନ୍ତୁ ବୁଝିପାରିଲେ ନାହିଁ, କାରଣ ସେ କେବଳ ପୁସ୍ତକରେ ଲେଖାଥିବା କଥାକୁ ମାତ୍ର ମୂଲ୍ୟ ଦେଇଥିଲେ।

Ø ଓକ୍-ଗଛ ନାଇଟିଙ୍ଗେଲ୍‌କୁ ଖୁବ୍ ଭଲପାଉଥିଲା, ତେଣୁ ଦୁଃଖିତ ହେଇ ଶେଷ ଗୀତ ଗାଇବାକୁ ଅନୁରୋଧ କଲା। ନାଇଟିଙ୍ଗେଲ୍ ସୁନ୍ଦରଭାବରେ ଗାଇଲା।

Ø କିନ୍ତୁ ଛାତ୍ରୀ ତାଙ୍କର ବଳିଦାନକୁ ଅବହେଳା କଲା। ସେ କହିଲା ଯେ ନାଇଟିଙ୍ଗେଲ୍‌ଙ୍କର ଶୈଳୀ ଅଛି, କିନ୍ତୁ ସତ୍ତା ନାହିଁ। ତାଙ୍କ ସଙ୍ଗୀତର କୌଣସି ଅର୍ଥ କିମ୍ବା ପ୍ରୟୋଗୀକ ଉପକାର ନାହିଁ।

Ø ଶେଷରେ ସେ ନିଜ କୋଠାକୁ ଗଲା, ବିଛାଣାରେ ଶୋଇଲା, ତା'ର ପ୍ରେମ ବିଷୟରେ ଭାବିଲା, ଏବଂ କିଛି ସମୟ ପରେ ଶୋଇଗଲା।
