Drip, drop. A little bit of rain has started to fall. She loves the rainy season. It helps all of the plants to grow.
They get out some big buckets so that they can store the water for later. They can use it to bathe and cook. If they boil it, they can drink it.
Rain compels her mum to sing. She brings out her sitar and starts to play. The song sounds lovely with the rain in the background.
As the pupils run home from school, they see birds in the rain. Some birds like the rain. They hang off branches and play. These birds do not.
When they get home, they wash and change. They can smell what their mum is cooking for dinner. It is a nice, warm meal for a rainy day.
She loves to go out after the rain and see the drops that cling to leaves and petals. It looks like the whole world has had a big drink.
This is her favourite tree. It grows a lot during the rainy season. The rain helps it to stay in good health when the dry season comes around.
