the_o day_n grow_v through_o the_o nearness_n of_o the_o sun_n but_o within_o the_o tropic_n under_o the_o burn_a zone_n the_o far_a distance_n of_o the_o sun_n work_v the_o same_o effect_n that_o

that_o they_o make_v a_o good_a harmony_n and_o with_o these_o instrument_n they_o make_v many_o kind_n of_o air_n and_o song_n they_o do_v all_o sing_v and_o dance_v to_o the_o sound_n and_o
