EATING TOO MUCH IS NOT GOOD

శర్మ:

ఏం ప్రసాద్! కళ్ళజోడు ఎన్ని రోజుల నించి పెట్టుకుంటున్నావు? నువ్వు కళ్ళజోడు పెట్టుకోటం ఇప్పుడే చూస్తున్నాను.

ဟေ့! ပ်ရဆာဒ်! မျက်မှန် (ဝတ်)တပ်တာ ဘယ်နှရက် ရှိပြီလဲ ။ မင်း မျက်မှန် ဝတ်ထားတာကို အခုမှပဲ တွေ့ဖူးတယ်။

Hello! Prasad! How long have been wearing glasses? I see you wearing for the first time just now.

ప్రసాద్:

నాలుగు రోజుల నించే పెట్టుకుంటున్నాను. మీ పేటలో ఇళ్ళు ఖాళీగా ఉన్నాయా?

လွန်ခဲ့တဲ့ လေးရက် ကမှ ဝတ်တာ။ ခင်ဗျားတို့ ရပ်ကွက်မှာ အိမ် အလွတ်တွေ ရှိလား။

I started wearing glasses for the last four days only. Do you have any houses vacant in your area?

శర్మ:

ఎందుకు?

ဘာဖြစ်လို့လဲ။

Why?

ప్రసాద్:

నాకు కావాలి.

ကျနော် လိုချင်လို့ပါ။

I want one.

శర్మ:

ఏం? మీ ఇల్లు బాగానే ఉందిగా?

ဘာလို့လဲ။ မင်းတို့ အိမ်က ကောင်း နေတာပဲ ။

Why? Your house is all right. Isn’t it?

ప్రసాద్:

ఇల్లు బాగానే ఉంది, కాని ఉండడం చాలా కష్టంగా ఉంది.

အိမ်က ကောင်းပါတယ်။ ဒါပေမဲ့ (ဆက်)နေဖို့က အခက်အခဲ ဖြစ်နေတယ်။

The house is good. But it is getting difficult to stay in that house.

శర్మ:

ఏం? ఇంటతను మంచివాడు కాదా?

ဘာလို့လဲ။ အိမ်ရှင်က သဘောကောင်းတယ်၊ မဟုတ်လား။

Why? Is not your landlord a good person?

ప్రసాద్:

ఇంటతను మంచివాడే! కాని ఇల్లంతా చీకటి. ఎప్పుడూ లైటు ఉండాలి. అంతే కాదు. ఆఫీసుకు దూరం గూడా! రావడం పోవడం ఎంతో కష్టం.

အိမ်ရှင်ကတော့ သဘောကောင်းပါတယ်။ ဒါပေမယ့် တစ်အိမ်လုံး မှောင်နေတယ်။ အမြဲတမ်း မီထွန်းနေရတယ်။ အဲ့ဒါပဲ မဟုတ်ဘူး။ ရုံးနဲ့လည်း ဝေးတော့။ သွားရ လာရ ခက်လို့။

The landlord is a good person. But the house is entirely dark. The lights should be on all the

time. That is not all. It is also far off from the office. It is difficult to go and come back.

శర్మ:

మీ పేటలో ఇళ్ళ కంటె మా పేటలో ఇళ్ళ అద్దెలు ఎక్కువ.

မင်းတို့ ရပ်ကွက်က အိမ်တွေထက် တို့ ရပ်ကွက်က အိမ်တွေက ငှားခ ‌များတယ်။

The house rents are higher in our area than in your area.

ప్రసాద్:

అయితే ఏం? మా పేటలో ఇళ్ళ కంటె మీ పేటలో ఇళ్ళు బాగున్నాయి. పెద్దవి గూడా! మీ ఇంటతను మంచివాడేనా?

အဲ့ဒီတော့ ဘာဖြစ်လဲ။ ကျနော်တို့ ရပ်ကွက်က အိမ်တွေထက် ခင်ဗျား တို့ ရပ်ကွက်က အိမ်တွေက (ပို) ကောင်းတယ်။ ကြီးလည်း ကြီးတယ်။ ခင်ဗျားတို့ အိမ်ရှင်က အဆင်ပြေလား။

So what? The houses in your locality are more convenient than in our locality. They are

big too. Is your landlord a good man?

శర్మ:

ఆ! మా పేటలో అందురూ మంచివాళ్ళే. చెడ్డవాళ్ళే లేరు. మా ఇంటి పక్కన ఒక ఇల్లు ఉంది, రా!

အင်း၊ တို့ရပ်ကွက်က လူ သန့်တယ်။ လူဆိုးလူမိုက်တွေ မရှိဘူး။ ငါတို့ အိမ်နားမှာ အိမ်တစ်လုံး ရှိတယ်။ လာ။

Yeah! All people in our locality are good. No bad people here. There is one house vacant beside my house. Come with me.

ప్రసాద్:

ఇప్పుడు టైం చాలదు. బస్సు కూడా ఉందో లేదో!

အခု အချိန် မလောက်တော့ဘူး။ လိုင်းကားလည်း ရှိလား၊ မရှိလား မသိဘူး။

Now the time is not sufficient. It is not known whether bus is available or not.

శర్మ:

రేపు సెలవే కదా! రేపు ఉదయం రా!

မနက်ဖြန် ပိတ်ရက်ပဲ မဟုတ်လား။ မနက်ဖြန် မနက် လာလိုက်။

Tomorrow is holiday. Isn’t it?

Come tomorrow morning.

ప్రసాద్:

అలాగే!

ဟုတ်ကဲ့။

Okay.

శర్మ:

రా ప్రసాద్! మా పక్క ఇల్లు ఖాళీగానే ఉంది. కాని వంటయిల్లు చిన్నది.

လာ၊ ပ်ရဆာဒ်။ ငါတို့ ဘေး အိမ်‌ အလွတ်ပဲ ရှိသေးတယ်။ ဒါပေမယ့် မီးဖိုခန်းကတော့ သေးတယ်။

Come on, Prasad. Our neighbouring house is vacant. But the kitchen is small. Come on; show it.

ప్రసాద్:

పద. చూపించు.

လာ ပြကြည့်လေ။

Come on; show it.

శర్మ:

రా! ఇదే ఇల్లు. ఈ పాప ఇంటివాళ్ళ అమ్మాయి. పాపా! అక్కయ్య ఏం చేస్తోందమ్మా?

လာ၊ ဒါပဲ အိမ်က။ ဒီကလေးက အိမ်ရှင် သမီး။ အစ်မ ဘာ လုပ်နေလဲ သမီး။

Come. This is the house. This Papa is the daughter of the landlord. Papa! What is your sister doing?

పాప:

పెద్దక్కయ్య వంటయింట్లో ఉన్నదండీ. వంటచేస్తోంది. చిన్నక్కయ్య పక్కవాళ్ళ అమ్మాయితో ఆడుతోంది. దానికి ఎప్పుడూ ఆటలేనండీ!

အစ်မကြီးက မီးဖိုချောင်မှာ ရှိပါတယ်။ ချက်ပြုတ်နေတယ်။ အစ်မငယ်က ဟိုဘက်အိမ်က ကောင်မလေးနဲ့ ကစားနေတယ်။

သူက အမြဲတမ်းပဲ ကစားနေတယ်။ 

My elder sister is in the kitchen, sir! She is cooking. The younger sister is playing with a girl from next door. All the time she indulges in games.

శర్మ:

నువ్వు కూడా ఆడు.

သမီးလည်း ကစားပေါ့။

You too play!

పాప:

ఉదయం ఆడటం మంచిది కాదండీ!

မနက်ဘက် ကစားတာက မကောင်းပါဘူး။

Playing in the mornings is not good, sir!

శర్మ:

అలాగా! నువ్వు చాలా మంచిదానివి. ఈ చాక్లెట్లు తీసుకో!

အဲ့လိုလား။ သမီးက အရမ်း လိမ္မာတဲ့ ကလေးပဲ။ ဒီ ချော့ကလတ်တွေ ယူလိုက်။

I see! You are a good girl. Take these chocolates.

పాప:

ఒకటి చాలండీ! ఎక్కవగా తినటం మంచిది కాదు.

တစ်ခုဆို တော်ပါပြီ။ အများကြီး စားတာ မကောင်းဘူး။

One is enough, sir! Eating too much is not good.

ప్రసాద్:

పాపా! ఇప్పుడు నువ్వేం చదువుతున్నావు?

သမီးလေး၊ အခု သမီး ဘာဖတ်နေလဲ။ (ဘယ်နှတန်းလဲ။)

Papa! What are you studying presently?

పాప:

ఇప్పుడు నేను చదవటం లేదండీ! పుస్తకానికి అట్ట వేస్తున్నాను.

အခု သမီး ဘာ စာမှ မဖတ်ပါဘူး။ စာအုပ်ကို အဖုံး ကပ်နေတာ။

I am not studying anything now, sir! I am putting on a wrapper to this book.

ప్రసాద్:

అది కాదమ్మా! నువ్వు ఇప్పుడు ఎన్నో తరగతి చదువుతున్నావు అంటున్నాను.

အဲ့ဒါ မဟုတ်ဘူး သမီး။ အခုဘယ်နှ တန်း တက်နေလို့ မေးတာပါ။

No, not that my dear! I am saying what class are you in now.

పాప:

రెండో తరగతి చదువుతున్నానండీ!

နှစ်(ဒုတိယ)တန်း တက်နေပါတယ်။

I am in second standard, sir!

ప్రసాద్:

అలాగా! ఇప్పుడు మీ బళ్ళో ఏం పాఠం చెప్తున్నారు?

ဟုတ်လား။ အခု သမီးတို့ ကျောင်းမှာ ဘာ သင်ခန်းစာ တွေ သင်နေရလဲ။

I see! What lesson are they teaching now in your school     

పాప:

ఇప్పుడు పాఠాలు చెప్పటం లేదండీ! కథలు, పాటలు చెబుతున్నారు. బొమ్మలు వెయ్యటం కూడా   నేర్పుతున్నారు.   (నేర్పించు)

အခု ဘာ စာမှ မသင်သေးပါဘူး။ ပုံပြင်တွေ၊ သီချင်းတွေပဲ ‌သင်ပေးတယ်။ အပုံတွေ ဆွဲတာလည်း သင်ပေးတယ်။

Now they are not teaching any lessons, sir. They are telling stories, and teaching songs. They are also teaching drawing pictures.

ప్రసాద్:

ఏది, ఒక పాట పాడు.

အဲ့ဒါဆိုရင် သီချင်း တစ်ပုဒ်လောက် ဆိုပြ။

Then, sing a song.

పాప:

పాడుతున్నాను, వినండి.

သီချင်းဆိုပြမယ်။ နားထောင်ပါ။

I am singing. Please listen, sir.
