Q3:Translate into Urdu
Remember, when we used to come here to hunt fox squirrels ? Remember, when we sat beneath these hickories and
the Squirrels threw green hickory shells down at us ?
The morning wind just at the break of the day in August was so good to breathe. I cannot forget those days. And in
October when the rabbits were ripe and the frost had come and hickory leaves had turned yellow and when the
October winds blew they rustled the big leaves from the trees and they fell like yallow rain drops to the ground!
Remember.”
