The sun rises in the morning, by the east side.

I hear the cock crow at dawn.

1

The sun moves over Terfa's compound before the morning meal.

I smell the aroma of bier and akpupa following the sun to my window.

2

The sun goes behind a tree at school during lunchtime.

Then it arrives in a puddle in the middle of the playground.

3

The sun stands above my head. My shadow stands beside me.

I play the shadow game with my friends.

4

My shadow grows bigger, then smaller. We run after it.

My shadow grows longer, then shorter. We run after it.

5

I stand, my friends stand. We see our shadows sway.

We grow tired and return to class. After school, we go home.

6

The sun yawns.

I see the sun sink slowly in the west. I see my shadow on a wall.

It is time to go to bed.

7

The sun goes down behind the clouds.

I lay down in my bed, and dream of the sun traveling afar.
