Two sunflowers looked into the sky:
     "I love the sun," one said.
"It sends its warming rays to earth
     And warms us in our bed."

​

"We need rain, too," replied his friend.
        "It helps us to grow tall;
Whilst sunflowers stretch to reach the sun
     The buttercups stay small."

​

They looked up at the sun’s bright face,
      Then noticed in the sky,
A big black cloud that carried rain
      Came slowly floating by.

​

Then, as it drifted overhead,
     Its rain began to pour.
Then lightning came, the thunder too
     And raindrops, more and more.

​

The raindrops toppled from the sky -
       Refreshing, pure and cool.
They watered fields, woodlands and towns 
      And pattered on your school.

​

The sun looked down to dry the earth,
      And wished the rain goodbye –
"Oh, look up there!" one sunflower said:
      "What’s that up in the sky?"

​

A brightly coloured arch appeared,
     That glittered in the sun:
"Oh goodness me!" said both of them,
      "The sun is having fun!" 

​

"A rainbow!" said one sunflower,
     "Made by the rain and sun!"
"It’s stunning!" said the other one.
     "The colours are such fun."

​

So when the rain and sun are out,
     Look up into the sky.
You’ll see the prettiest sight on earth,
      As no-one can deny.
