Q10: Translate the following passage into Urdu. (15)
Then I grasped the child’s head with my left hand and tried to get the wooden spatula between her
teeth. She fought with clenched teeth, desperately! But now I also had grown furious—at a child. I
tried to hold myself but I couldn’t. I know how to expose a throat for inspection. And I did my best.
When finally I got the wooden spatula behind the last teeth and jut the point of it into mouth cavity,
she opened up for an instant but before I could see anything she came down again and gripped the
wooden blade between the molars.
