The Rain Kids Story

Gopal was a farmer. He had a wife and two children. He lived in a tiny village near Madurai. Gopal had a well on his land but there was no water in it.

Every day Gopal looked at the sky. There were no clouds. The hot sun looked down on Gopal and laughed. Gopal went to Murugan.“Please lend me fifty rupees," he said.

"I can't,” replied Murugan. “There's no rain. No rain means no ragi in the fields. When the rains come you can have the money."

Gopal went home and looked in the box under the bed.

“We have sixty rupees,” he said to his wife. “We can eat for a few more days. Then what shall we do ?”

Every day Gopal looked at the sky. The sun laughed down at him. There were no clouds. Everyone was hungry.

After a few days Gopal looked in the box again. Four rupees! “We only have four rupees for food,” he said to his wife.

“And then?” said his wife.

“And then! No food,” said Gopal. They looked very sad. Suddenly Gopal's wife touched her ear-rings. “What about these ?' she asked.

“I gave you those on our wedding day,” said Gopal.

Gopal's wife took off her ear-rings. A tear dropped from her eye.

“Sell them,” she said. ? “We need food.”

Gopal was very sad, but he took the ear-rings and walked off towards the town.

Suddenly he stopped. “Rain! Rain!” He shouted. The rain came pouring down. Gopal was very happy.
