A. The Wind blew fiercely as a lion tears his prey.
Q. Good. Did the man take off his coat?
A. I don’t think he did. I think he would try to keep it on.
Q. How hard do you think he would try?
A. As hard as he could.
Q. Did he lose it?
A. No. No matter what the Wind did I think the man would keep on his coat.
Q. Will you please tell the story as far as we have gone?
A. The Wind and the Sun tried to make a man take off his coat. First the Wind blew as fiercely as a lion tears his prey, but the man clung more closely to his coat and would not let it go.
Q. That is good, but it does not satisfy me yet. I want a longer, prettier story. Let us make believe the Wind and the Sun are two men. Make them talk so they will seem real to us. Can’t you start us?
