Read the following passage and identify the simple sentences.
Sunflowers turn according to the position of the sun. In other words, they ‘ chase the light’. Have you ever wondered what happens on cloudy, rainy days when the sun is completely covered by clouds?

Learning from Nature, we too should support and empower each other.
