SUMMARY
‘The Earth’ is a short and interesting story written by H.E. Bates. In this story, Johnson was a tenant (किरायेदार) farmer. He was kind-hearted (दयालु) person, but he was very lazy. He believed more in luck than work. He had no land (भूमि) of his own. He had a simple-minded son named Benjy. He was worried (चिंतित) about son. On the advice of doctor, Johnson built a wire coop (तार का खांचा) in a corner (कोना) of his farm (खेत) and gave him some hens to keep engaged (व्यस्त) in work. Benjy took interest in keeping hens and knew all the tricks (चाल) of the trade (व्यापार). When Benjy knew the trick of the trade, he began to earn money. He deposited (जमा करना) a lot of money in his account. When he was about forty, he married Florence against the wishes (इच्छा) of his parents. Florence was one of Benjy’s employees (कर्मचारी). He did not treat his parents justly (उचित ढंग से). He became so cruel that he drove them out (निकाल बाहर करना) of his home. Thus, in this story we find that a selfish (स्वार्थी) and cunning son deceived his parents and too much trust (विश्वास) became the reason (कारण) of the tragedy (दुःखद घटना) of the parents.
