Write an essay about"The First Rain this year"
Answers
Answer:
it was mid-July. There had been no rains for several months at a stretch. It was unbearably hot. All the pools and ponds had run dry. The sun shone brightly from the leaden sky. The earth was parched and dry. The cattle were dying in a large number.
People and herds of cattle with their tongues lolling out, took rest in the shade of trees. Birds fluttered about helplessly in search of water, but alas! not a drop of water was to be found anywhere. It was feared that a famine would break out if there were no rains in the near future. People offered prayers and performed ‘Yajnas’ to propitiate the angry gods to send the rains.
At last their prayers were heard. On the 20th of July, a piece of cloud made its appearance on the horizon. It grew bigger and bigger.
