गावाच्या पूर्वेला विठ्ठलरावांची शेती होती।
To the east of the village was Vitthalrao's farm.
ते पाऊस कधी येणार हे आकाश पाहून सांगत।
They looked at the sky and told when the rain would come.
कधीही त्यांचा अंदाज चुकला नाही।
He never got his guess wrong.
एका वर्षी हवामान खात्याने चांगल्या पावसाचा अंदाज दिला।
One year, the Meteorological Department predicted good rainfall.
विठ्ठलरावांनी मात्र पेरणी थांबवली।
Vitthalrao, however, stopped sowing.
इतर शेतकऱ्यांनी त्यांना हसले।
The other farmers laughed at him.
त्या वर्षी पाऊस दोन महिने उशिरा आला।
That year, the rains came two months late.
सर्वांचे बियाणे वाया गेले।
Everyone's seeds were wasted.
