Q.No.8 Translate the following Passage into Urdu (Book 1 Short Stories) (15)
She was a large woman with a large purse that had everything in it but a hammer and nails. It had a long strap,
and she carried it slung across her shoulder. It was about eleven O'clock at night, dark and she was walking
alone, when a boy ran up behind her and tried to snatch her purse. The strap broke with a single sudden tug
the boy gave it from behind. But the boy's weight and the weight of the purse combined caused him to lose his
balance. Instead of taking off full blast as he had hoped, the boy fell on his back on the side walk and his legs
flew up. The large woman simply turned around and kicked him right square in his blue Jeaned sitter.
