Answer 1

	In Summer	In Monsoon
1.	The river is shallow, only knee-deep.	The river rises and flows with strong currents.
2.	The water is calm and clear.	The water becomes muddy and turbulent.
3.	People, animals, and carts can easily cross it.	The river overflows, making crossing difficult.
4.	The surroundings are dry and quiet.	The air is filled with the sounds of rushing water and babbling.
