A Classic Tale

LLI_wind_0055.indd 1 1/11/08 12:02:57 PM

 One day, Wind and Sun
were bragging to each other. I am stronger than you,
bragged Sun.
I am stronger than you,
Wind bragged. When I shine,
When I blow, I can bend trees! I make plants grow.
I can turn umbrellas inside out! I can melt snow and ice!

I will make his coat come off.
I have a great idea, I can blow it right off his back!

What kind of contest?

asked Sun.

 

LLI_wind_0055.indd 4-5 1/11/08 12:03:09 PM

 I like that contest, said Sun.
Im sure I can make
his coat come off.
You go first,
Sun said to Wind.
Ill hide behind that cloud.
 
LLI_wind_0055.indd 6-7
Sun went behind a cloud
to watch.
Wind blew. Wind blew harder.
Wind blew so hard that
the mans hat came right off.
But his coat
did not come off.
1/11/08 12:03:15 PM
 The man just grabbed his hat
and tied it on tight.
He put on his gloves,
and he traveled on.

Wind blew even harder.

He blew as hard as he could.

The man pulled his coat

tighter around him,
and he traveled on.

 Sun looked down at the man
and began to shine.

It is so warm,
said the man.
He took off his hat.

Sun came out from

behind the cloud.
Its my turn now, he said.
You will see how easy
it is for me to make the man
take off his coat.
