00:00Story 1 of The Sun's Babies by Edith Howes
00:04The Sun Man's Babies
00:06The moon man sent his stars to bed and turned a pitying eye to where the sun man sailed alone across the eastern sky.
00:16Poor thing, he said, how sad to have no children round your knee.
00:21A thousand thousand stars are mine, how lonely you must be.
00:26The sun man laughed a jolly laugh.
00:29He pointed far below to where the shining, busy earth swung golden in his glow.
00:35A million, million babes are mine, he said, on yonder earth.
00:40My sunbeams wrap them all the day. To me they owe their birth.
00:45A million, million babes smile up from dawn till day is done, and when I say my last good night, I kiss them every one.
