Q.4 Translate into English. (15)

 بچپن کسی کی عمر کا بہترین حصہ ہے۔  اس لیے آپ نے بزرگوں کو ایک بار پھر اولاد بننے کی خواہش کا اظہار کرتے سنا ہوگا۔  شاید اس کی وجہ یہ ہے کہ ہم جوانی اور عمر کی ذمہ داریوں سے بیمار ہیں۔  بچپن میں کسی کی کوئی ذمہ داری نہیں ہوتی۔  اس لیے کوئی غم نہیں۔  ایک بچہ سارا دن کھیلتا رہتا ہے۔  اس کے والدین اس سے پیار کرتے ہیں۔  وہ اسے اچھی طرح سے کھلاتے ہیں اور اچھا لباس پہناتے ہیں۔  لہذا، زندگی خود ایک بچے کے لئے ایک کھلونا ہے.

Good Luck!!!
