Solution
The similarities between the Autumn and the prosperous king are as follows.
- The rain brings happiness and prosperity to the people doing agricultural activities, which is similar to that of a king bringing prosperity and growth in his kingdom
- The farmer depends on the rain for his agricultural work, which guises his economic stability. Similarly, a poor man depends on the king for his likelihood.
- The raindrops falling from the sky glitter just like the emeralds in the kings.
