Story to be told to the children:
THE WINDS
This is one of the stories that the fathers and mothers in Greece used to tell their children.
Æolus was the father of all the winds, great and small. He had six sons and six daughters.
When the children were old enough, they went out into the world to work. Often they were gone all day long.
They had to sweep and dust the whole world. They carried water from the sea to wash and scrub the earth.
They helped to move the great ships across the ocean. They scattered the seeds, and watered the flowers, and did many other helpful things.
And these things are what the winds do for us to-day.
Can you tell the names of the four great winds? (East, West, North, South.)
