The First Showers.
Category : Secondary School Level
The first shower brings a smile to all faces. The much awaited monsoon season begins by mid-June and goes on till October. Often the arrival of monsoon is signaled by dark clouds, at times accompanied by thunder and lightning.
Rains bring happiness all over. Children are the ones who enjoy it the most. They play in the water; make paper boats and go for a walk with their raincoats on. When it pours heavily the schools are generally shut for a day or two.
Besides children, even farmers are happy during this season. They can plough the fields and sow seeds. They can expect a good harvest. The land looks clean and lush green. The birds and animals are happy and gay. The fresh fragrance of wet mud fills the air. We all enjoy the monsoon.
