ii)A curtain of rain was covering the ripe corns.The corn were draped in a curtain of rain.
4.The raindrops are compared to coins of ten cents and five cents because Lencho knew as he was a dedicated farmer, the significance of rain before the harvest.The fresh rain before the harvest will fetch a good price in the market .(The corns will look healthier after a rain shower .The quality is enhanced and so Lencho compared the corn to rain drops to signify money).
