Speak Smart’s Telling Short Story Spoken English Activity by Shailesh Shirsath.
English Version:
Once upon a
time, in a small village, people were eagerly waiting for rain. The fields were
dry and the farmers were worried about their crops. Every day, they looked up
at the sky, hoping to see clouds.
One
morning, little Vedant woke up to a dark sky. He ran outside and felt the first
drop of rain on his cheek. "It's raining!" he shouted with joy.
Everyone in the village came out of their homes. The rain started to fall
heavily, watering the thirsty earth.
Children
danced and played in the rain, splashing in the puddles. The farmers smiled and
thanked the rain for saving their crops. The village was filled with happiness
and laughter.
The rain
continued for a few days, filling the rivers and ponds. The crops grew healthy
and green. Vedant and his friends enjoyed watching the raindrops on the leaves
and listening to the sound of the rain.
Marathi Version:
एका गावात पाऊस कधी येईल याची सगळे आतुरतेने वाट
पाहत होते. शेतं कोरडी होती आणि शेतकरी आपल्या पिकांबद्दल चिंतेत होते. दररोज ते
आकाशाकडे पाहायचे आणि ढग दिसतील अशी आशा करत.
एके सकाळी, छोटा वेदांत जागा झाला तेव्हा
आकाश काळवंडलेले होते. तो बाहेर धावला आणि त्याच्या गालावर पहिल्या पावसाच्या
थेंबाची अनुभूती घेतली. "पाऊस आला!" तो आनंदाने ओरडला. गावातील सगळेजण
त्यांच्या घराबाहेर आले. पाऊस जोराने पडायला लागला आणि तहानलेल्या जमिनीला पाणी
मिळाले.
मुलं पावसात नाचत आणि खेळत होती, पाण्यात उड्या मारत होती. शेतकरी हसत होते आणि पिकं
वाचवल्याबद्दल पावसाचे आभार मानत होते. गाव आनंद आणि हास्याने भरून गेले.
काही दिवस पाऊस चालू राहिला, नद्या आणि तळे भरून गेले. पिकं ताजीतवानी आणि हिरवीगार
झाली. वेदांत आणि त्याचे मित्र
पानांवरच्या पावसाच्या थेंबांचे निरीक्षण करणे आणि पावसाच्या आवाजाने आनंदित झाले.
