Key Concepts
Rain (Poem)
This poem describes what happens when it rains. Rain comes from the clouds and falls on the ground. Rain makes the plants and trees happy because they get water. Puddles form on the ground and children love to splash in them. Rain makes everything look fresh and clean. The poem helps us enjoy the beauty of rainy days.
Storm in the Garden (Story)
In this story, a strong storm comes to a beautiful garden. The wind blows hard and the rain falls heavily. The flowers bend, the leaves fly, and the branches shake. Some plants fall down. After the storm is over, the garden looks different. But slowly, the sun comes out and the garden begins to recover. New buds appear and the garden becomes beautiful again.
How Rain Helps
Rain is very important for life on earth. It gives water to plants, trees, and crops. It fills up rivers, ponds, and lakes. Animals drink rainwater. Without rain, plants would dry up and there would be no food. Rain also makes the air cool and clean.
When Rain is Too Much
Sometimes too much rain can cause problems. Heavy rain can cause floods. Strong winds and rain together make a storm. Storms can break branches, damage houses, and make roads slippery. During storms, we should stay inside and be safe.
Weather and Nature
Weather affects all living things. In sunny weather, plants make food and grow. In rainy weather, they get water. In stormy weather, they may get damaged. Animals find shelter during storms. After a storm, nature slowly heals and becomes green again.
