“How?” Sun said.
“See that man,” Wind said. “I’ll make him take off his
jacket.”
So, Wind blew hard. But the man held his jacket
around him.
“My turn,” said Sun smiling. Soon the man felt very hot.

The children were reading when the nurse

knocked at the door.
“Good morning, Miss Ramos. Please come and
have a seat,” greeted the children.
“The dentist is at the clinic. She likes you to brush
your teeth. After that, she will check-up your teeth,”
the nurse said.
