Where Do All the Teachers Go Summary in Hindi

छोटे बच्चों के लिए, एक शिक्षक असाधारण रूप से विशेष व्यक्ति होता है।
एक छोटे बच्चे के लिए यह स्वीकार करना मुश्किल होता है कि शिक्षक उसके आसपास रहने वाला कोई आम आदमी या औरत भी है। बच्चा आश्चर्य करता है और सवाल करता है कि क्या शिक्षक भी अन्य लोगों की तरह व्यवहार करते हैं, यदि वे भी सभी काम या चीजें करते हैं, तो अन्य लोग करते हैं? जैसे वे घरों में रहते हैं, पजामा (कपड़े) पहनते हैं, मोज़े धोते हैं या टी.वी. देखते हैं? क्या उनके साथ रहने के लिए माता-पिता और बच्चे भी हैं? ये सभी प्रश्न एक बच्चे के मन को परेशान करते हैं और जिज्ञासा से बाहर, एक दिन बच्चा अपने शिक्षकों का अनुसरण करने के लिए जाँच करने और उनके बारे में एक कविता लिखने का फैसला करता है ताकि शिक्षक उस कविता को अपने छात्रों को पढ़ सकें। यह क्यूटनेस, पवित्रता, एक युवा मन में अपने शिक्षकों के लिए जिज्ञासा और दुविधा होती है। यह शिक्षकों से उनकी अपेक्षाओं को भी दर्शाता है।
