Rain Is Needed

All our water sources, rivers, lakes, and underground springs depend on rain water. Where there is scanty or no rain desert conditions prevail and life in such areas of the world is miserable. Animals and plants do not thrive there. In fact the most densely populate areas of the world are those which get good rains. Of course too much rain is also bad. Sometimes rains are not welcome because of the inconvenience it causes, but it is something we cannot do without for the very life depends on it.

At first big drops of rain fell down here and there. Knowing the coming of rain, people began to hurry. The small vendors on the road packed up their wares and began seeking places of shelter. Then it started to rain heavily. The first rain cooled the hot surface of roads. As water began to flow, the drains got their fill and the stream rushed through them carrying all the dirt of the road. The drain pipes were full and brought down water with a noise. The cars that dashed along the roads did splash water on all sides to the chagrin of the passersby who got drenched. In a good rain, the umbrella is no answer. Boarding the buses in such a condition was a problem and the streets were wet and flooded. One could see crowds of people gather and huddle together in all available places of shelter.

After an hour the rain stopped. The sun began to shine and soon the roads were dry and once again life was busy. There was freshness in the atmosphere, especially the trees bore a beautiful green. Because it rained during the school hours, children were not much affected as it would otherwise be if it rained in the evening.
