The poem highlights the wind and the sun's powers. It's ending teaches humility.
The moon and the stars are gone, but the sun is here
To light up her world, bright and fair
She climbs over the hills in the early morning,
Ready to see children playing and people laughing.

She looks down and sees mister wind stronger than ever
Blowing away in great anguish and terror
He looks at Mrs Sun, relaxing in the air
And says, “Howdidoo sunshine, how are you up there?”

Mrs Sun looks down, smiling at the Mr. Wind,
“Howdidoo to you too and how have you been?”
He replied, “Bigger and stronger as always,
Huffing and puffing the market stalls away!

See those wet clothes hanging on the line?
Let’s see which is better, your gift or mine
Let us see who first can get the wet clothes down
Are you ready to look like a clown?”

She replied with proud smiles, “Ready when you are!”
And he huffed and he puffed near and far
But the pins held on, not letting go
He paused for a bit, disappointed with his show

My turn I think, Mrs Sun said, like a humble child
And with her modesty, she gave a warm smile
Birds started singing; bees started working after a while
Momentarily, Mrs. Jackson came out, taking her clothes off the line
