A
rainy day is dull and gloomy. It rains all day long. The sky is overcast with
thick clouds. The sky is not seen. None can go out without an umbrella. Water
stands on roads and roads become muddy and slippery. Those who have offices and
other business go out with umbrellas over the head, shoes in hand and clothes
folded up to knee. Passers-by also move in the same way. Sometimes people slip
and fall on the muddy road. When it rains in torrents, people get drenched and
stop midway. The poor suffer much in a rainy day. They cannot go out in quest
of work and cannot earn their daily food. They pass the day through sufferings.
Most of the students do not go to school. Only a few go to school but they get
drenched on the way. So classes are not held and it is a day of great joy to
them. Other people also stay at home and pass the day without doing anything.
The cattle keep standing in their sheds and bellow for fodder. A rainy day is
not pleasant at all.
