As soon as the comes up over the in the morning, it has a lot of work to do. “Get up, you lazy bones!” With its golden rays it wakes up all the animals in the and sparkles on the fields in the morning dew.

The white , the blue , the yellow , and all the other flowers reach up and stretch their to touch the warming rays.

The come out of their shelters, and maybe they even envy the little song who freely fly from to tree and greet the new day with their beautiful song.

Right away, the is full of hustle and bustle. The rabbits, deer, , , and even the little mice are all up and are starting to look for their breakfast. Only the lazy is still sleeping, but that doesn’t bother the busy .

Surely, hunger will soon also awaken the badger and he will have to climb out of his burrow.

The sun continues on its way and eagerly peeks in on its human friends. are getting ready for work, mommies are preparing breakfast, but the don’t really want to get out of their warm and comfy . The sun has to tickle their noses with its rays for them to get up and not to be late for .

But the little can’t stay with the kids much longer. After all, it belongs to all the people, all animals and all the , so it has to hurry up and climb to the top of the sky. During one day, it has to go from east to west and warm everything with its gleaming .

At noon, when the kids return from , the little sun is already high in the sky. Oh, but what does it see? Kathie’s is all messy from wiping the and Lucy hasn’t eaten her lunch. The boys in front of the school have thrown their into the corner, and are skipping lunch because they would rather play with a soccer .

“Oh my, I’ll never be able to dry out all of this, I have to set behind the soon,” the little sun sighed.

The first of the sun also woke up the animals on the yard of a small foothill where farmer George and his wife Betty lived.
