A Rainy Day

                                                                      A Rainy Day                                        It was a Sunday evening. I was staying in my room and watching the weather outside from my window. Dark clouds were coming down and covering the blue sky. Because of the stormy winds, the branches were swaying. Men, women and children were hurrying home. Frist, light drizzle started and soon, it turned into a heavy shower. I felt scared as I was alone. Muddy water flowed along the drains into our garden. The traffic moved very slowly, Then I saw a man looking for some shelter. He ran to a wayside boutique. He kept looking out for the bus, but as there was no bus, he got into a trishaw. As it was tea time, I went to drink something hot. I had a cup of hot tea. At last my brother came home and I was happy. He was wet and I gave him a towel to wipe himself.

         Floods.....                                                             Very often we hear of floods. Rivers and canals become full when it rains and the water overflows. River banks cannot contain the water and the water overflows as floods. I have seen a flood. Floods sometimes cause damage to houses property fields and gardens. Sometimes a flood can kill people and animals. We hear of floods which are destructive. We have minor floods in our country. Water flows through our gardens and houses. Sometimes it is difficult to get drinking water when there is a flood. We cannot go to work when roads are under water. A flood is an interesting incident for the small children.

The newspapers bring us news of most things that are happening in the country and around the world. They have something for everyone. The weekend papers have more pages and sections than the dailies. The headlines in a newspapers give the gist of the news items. There are notices, stories, foreign news, sports news, advertisements and many other articles in the newspapers. Newspapers are very interesting to read. We learn many exciting facts from newspapers to improve our knowledge. Newspapers printing is very costly and it an endless task.
