Long-Answer

Q. 1 Discuss the element of mystery in the story 'The Black Aeroplane'.

Ans: "The Black Aeroplane" is a mystery story. The narrator is flying his old Dakota plane toward England when he gets trapped inside black clouds. Suddenly, all his instruments, including the compass and radio, go completely dead. Out of nowhere, a mysterious black aeroplane appears beside him.

The mystery deepens because this plane has no lights on its wings, yet the narrator can clearly see the pilot’s face. The strange pilot guides the narrator safely through the storm to an airport runway. However, when the narrator lands and inquires at the control tower center, the woman on duty checks the radar and reveals that no other plane was flying in the storm that night. The identity of the black aeroplane and its pilot remains an unsolved mystery.

3. Two Stories of Flying 
I- His First Flight (Liam O’ Flaherty)

छोटा सीगल अपनी चट्टान पर अकेला था। उसके दो भाई और एक बहन एक दिन पहले उड़कर चले गए थे। वह उनके साथ उड़ने से डर गया था। उसे ऐसा महसूस हुआ कि उसके पंख उसे सहारा नहीं दे सकेंगे। इसलिए वह वापिस दौड़कर अपनी चट्टान पर आ गया था। उसका पिता और माँ उसे आवाज देते हुए उसके पास आए थे। वे उसे डरा रहे थे कि यदि वह वहाँ से नहीं उड़ा तो वह चट्टान पर भूखा मर जाएगा, लेकिन उसमें हिलने तक का भी साहस नहीं था। छोटे सीगल को खाने के लिए कुछ भी नहीं मिला। उसे बहुत भूख लगी थी। वह अपनी चट्टान के किनारे पर बाहर निकला। उसने देखा कि उसकी माँ उसकी ओर देख रही थी। वह एक पठार पर खड़ी थी। बार-बार वह एक मछली के टुकड़े किए जा रही थी जो उसके पाँवों के पास पड़े थे। भोजन को देखकर वह पागल हो उठा था। उसने चीखकर अपनी माँ से उसके लिए कुछ भोजन लाने के लिए कहा। उसकी माँ ने मछली का एक टुकड़ा उठाया। वह उसे अपनी चोंच में उठाकर उसकी तरफ आई। वह चट्टान के समीप आई। तब वह रुक गई। उसके पंख स्थिर हो गए। छोटा सीगल हैरान था कि उसकी माँ उसकी ओर अधिक समीप क्यों नहीं आ रही थी। वह अपनी माँ की चोंच से मछली का टुकड़ा प्राप्त करने के लिए उछला। वह नीचे की ओर गिर गया। वह भयभीत हो गया। लेकिन उसका भय एक मिनट में ही समाप्त हो गया। उसके पंख बाहर की ओर फैले हुए थे और उसने ऊपर हवा में उड़ना शुरू कर दिया। अब उसे डर नहीं  लग रहा था। उसने देखा कि उसके पिता, माँ, भाई एवं बहन उसके चारों ओर उड़ रहे थे। वे खुशी से चीख रहे थे। कुछ समय के बाद छोटे सीगल ने भी सागर में खड़ा होने के लिए अपने पाँव नीचे किए। उसकी टाँगें पानी में डूब गई। वह डर से चीख उठा। लेकिन तभी उसके पेट का स्पर्श पानी से हुआ। उसने देखा कि अब वह नहीं डूब रहा था। उसने भी अपने परिवार की भांति पानी पर तैरना शुरू कर दिया। इस पर पूरे परिवार ने उसकी प्रशंसा की। इस प्रकार उसने अपनी पहली उड़ान पूरी की।
