કાવ્ય: અષાઢે – સરળ ભાષામાં

અષાઢે🌧⚡👨‍🌾🌱
ચિત્ર: બાલ ગુજરાતી – our own illustration of the lesson.

અષાઢ આવ્યો – આકાશે કાળાં વાદળ, વીજળીના ચમકારા, ધરતીની મહેક.

પરોઢિયે ખેડૂત પછેડી ઓઢી હળ લઈ ખેતરે ચાલ્યો; આંગણે વરસાદનાં ટીપાં નાચે છે.

કુદરત અને માણસનું જીવન જાણે એક તાલે ચાલે છે – અષાઢે નવું જીવન જાગે છે.

બોધ – What the story teaches

The monsoon brings new life to nature and people. અષાઢ નવજીવનનો સંદેશ લાવે છે.
