Answer the following question.
How do you think the rain quenches the thirst of the fields and cures the ailments of the
clouds ?
उत्तर
Naturally, when the rain falls it quenches the thirst of fields. The parched fields only wait for the rain. The rain cures the ailment of clouds. It means the clouds become heavy and want to burst out. But when it rains, they empty themselves into showers and become light again to float in the sky.
