ਨੈਸੀ ਨੇ ਕੀ ਸੁਣਿਆ
Author: Chandana Bandara Samarakoon

ਨੈਸੀ ਸੁੱਤੀ ਪਈ ਸੀ, ਹੁਣ ਉੱਠ ਗਈ ਹੈ।
ਉਸ ਨੂੰ ਆਵਾਜ਼ਾਂ ਆ ਰਹੀਆਂ ਹਨ!
ਚੀਂ-ਚੀਂ ਚੀਂ… ਚੀਂ-ਚੀਂ ਚੀਕ…
ਚੀਂ-ਚੀਂ ਚੀਕ…
“ਇਹ ਆਵਾਜ਼ ਕਿਥੋਂ ਆ ਰਹੀ ਹੈ?”
ਨੈਸੀ ਨੇ ਪੁੱਛਿਆ।
“ਛੋਟੇ ਹਾਥੀ! ਛੋਟੇ ਹਾਥੀ, ਤੁਸੀਂ ਜ਼ੋਰ ਜ਼ੋਰ ਦੀ ਕਿਉਂ ਚੀਕ ਰਹੇ ਹੋ?”
“ਮੈਂ ਤਾਂ ਨਹੀਂ ਚੀਕਦਾ!,” ਛੋਟੇ ਹਾਥੀ ਨੇ ਜਵਾਬ ਦਿੱਤਾ।
“ਸੇਹ, ਸੇਹ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਜ਼ੋਰ ਦੀ ਕਿਉਂ ਚੀਕ ਰਹੇ ਹੋ?”
“ਮੈਂ ਤਾਂ ਚੀਕ ਹੀ ਨਹੀਂ ਸਕਦਾ,” ਸੇਹ ਬੋਲਿਆ।
“ਕਾਠਫੋੜੇ, ਤੁਸੀਂ ਜ਼ੋਰ ਦੀ ਕਿਉਂ ਚੀਕ ਰਹੇ ਹੋ ?”
“ਮੈਂ ਨਹੀਂ ਹਾਂ, ਮੈਂ ਤਾਂ ਚੀਕ ਨਹੀਂ ਸਕਦਾ,” ਉਹ ਬੋਲਿਆ।
“ਘਨੇਸ਼, ਘਨੇਸ਼ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਚੀਕ ਰਹੇ ਹੋ ?”
“ਅਸੀਂ ਨਹੀਂ ਚੀਕ ਸਕਦੇ” ਘਨੇਸ਼ ਬੋਲੇ।
“ਪੰਛੀ, ਪੰਛੀ, ਤੁਸੀਂ ਕਿਉਂ ਚੀਕ ਰਹੇ ਹੋ?”
“ਅਸੀਂ ਨਹੀਂ ਚੀਕ ਸਕਦੇ,” ਪੰਛੀਆਂ ਨੇ ਜਵਾਬ ਦਿੱਤਾ।
“ਬਾਂਦਰ, ਬਾਂਦਰ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਚੀਕ ਰਹੇ ਹੋ!” ਨੈਸੀ ਨੇ ਕਿਹਾ ।
“ਅਸੀਂ ਰੌਲਾ ਨਹੀਂ ਪਾ ਰਹੇ। ਕੌਣ ਹੋ ਸਕਦਾ ਹੈ? ਚਲੋ ਲੱਭੀਏ।
“ਅਸੀਂ ਟਿੱਡੀ ਦਲ ਹਾਂ!
ਅਸੀਂ ਜ਼ੋਰ ਦੀ ਆਵਾਜ਼ਾਂ ਕੱਢਦੇ ਹਾਂ! ਅਸੀਂ ਰਾਤ ਨੂੰ ਆਪਣੇ ਖੰਭਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਰਗੜਕੇ ਚੀਕ-ਚਿਹਾੜਾ ਅਤੇ ਰੌਲਾ ਪਾਉਂਦੇ ਹਾਂ।”
ਓਹੋ! ਇਹ ਤਾਂ ਟਿੱਡੀ ਦਲ ਹੈ ਜੋ ਚੀਕ-ਚਿਹਾੜਾ ਪਾ ਰਹੇ ਹਨ।
