Across
- 2. From coconut husks, I’m firm but kind, a mattress for rest and peace of mind.
- 3. Rich in tannins and flavonoids, I cleanse with care—a twig for your teeth, beyond compare.
- 6. With steps going deep, I store rain for the dry, a marvel of old, under the sky.
- 7. A nitrogen-fixing tree, deep roots I show, in deserts I thrive, where little else will grow.
Down
- 1. A liquid that glimmers, once hailed as a cure, now seen as toxic—better stay pure.
- 4. Fish swim with rice in my paddy's embrace, with bamboo canals that channel water’s pace.
- 5. Absorbing uranium, I’m a yam with flair, used in rituals with wisdom rare.
- 7. A crop that resists radiation’s harm, I’m millet with strength, a farmer’s charm.
