How do trees make it rain ??

 Trees help make rain in 3 simple steps  ----

1.  Trees drink and " sweat  "

               Tree roots suck up water from ground. Leaves release the water into air.

                This is transpiration.

2.  This water makes clouds

                 Water vapour raises up and gets cold. It turn's into tiny water droplets which is cloud.

3.  Forests recycle the rain

                 In big forests, trees put so much water in the air that the wind carries it and it again rains down !!!

No trees  =  Less water in air  =  Less rain

That's why cutting down big forests can cause droughts far away.

Why are there no hair on palm ??

 Don't get deceived by the title !!!

It is not a scientific article like previous ones.

It is a light hearted Akbar - Birbal story !!!

It was a packed day on the Court of Akbar.....

Suddenly a question came to Akbar's mind.

WHY ARE THERE NO HAIR ON HIS PALM  ??

Akbar had put forward his question near the courtiers.

Every one was busy thinking......

Akbar asked Birbal to tell the answer.

Birbal stood up and said,

"  Oh King !!!  You do lot of giving alms to poor and needy.   That's why there are no hair on your palm  !!!  "

Akbar was satisfied with the answer.

Akbar again asked ,   "  Why your palm is also not having hair ??  "

Birbal replied,  "  I receive lots of gifts from your hand.  That's why even my palm is hairless  !!!   "

Akbar again asked,

"  Why every courtier's hand is hairless ??  "

Birbal replied,

"  After watching me receiving gifts from your hand,  they rub their both hands in jealous and frustration.

That's why even their palm is hairless   !!!!     "
