A Hot Summer Day
Last year June 20 was a very hot day. The sun was in ill all its fury. It was burning hot. The earth went dry. There was dust everywhere. The heat was unbearable. There was no stir in the air. Men and animals were panting.. All were perspiring. Little children were crying restlessly. Everybody looked for shade. Not a soul was moving outside. Bazaars and streets looked deserted. All work came to a standstill. We prayed to God for a shower of rain. In the evening, the heat lessened a little. We felt some relief. Thank God that it became pleasant at night.
