WIND your watch while the WIND blows.

Wind, in the first blank is a verb with a long I sound that means turn. While it is spelled exactly the same way, it is different that WIND in the second blank, which is a noun with a short I sound that refers to the air that blows out side. Homographs are spelled the same, but have different pronunciations and meanings.
