A Little Challenge

From the sky, Wind and Sun saw Rabbit walking along a path in his blue cloak. The two were arguing about who was stronger. They decided to find out which of them could make the traveller take off his cloak.

SunLet us take turns and see what happens.
Card 2 of 6

The First Gust

Wind puffed out his cloudy cheeks and blew across the path. The grass bent low and the blue cloak began to flap. Rabbit felt cold and held the fabric tightly with both paws to stop it from blowing away.

WindThis gust will be enough to blow it away!
RabbitWhat a wind! I had better hold my cloak tightly.

The Harder He Blew

Wind blew even harder, certain that he would win the challenge. Yet Rabbit wrapped his cloak more closely around himself. The harder the wind pushed, the more tightly the traveller held on to his warm covering.

WindI will blow with all my strength!
RabbitIn this cold, I am not letting go of my cloak.
Card 4 of 6

Gentle Warmth

Tired out, Wind stopped blowing. Then Sun showed his golden face and gently warmed the path. Rabbit felt the warmth on his ears, loosened his grip and let his cloak hang open over his shoulders.

SunNow I will try a little warmth.
RabbitHow lovely it feels! I do not need to wrap up so warmly now.

His Own Decision

Sun kept shining gently. When Rabbit reached a tree, he decided to rest in its shade. He took off his cloak of his own free will, folded it over one arm and sat down to enjoy the afternoon.

RabbitI will take off my cloak and rest for a while.
SunHere is some cool shade where you can be comfortable.
Card 6 of 6

The Power of Calm

Rabbit hung his cloak on a nearby branch and smiled beneath the tree. From the sky, Wind watched in silence. He had used all his strength without success, while the kind warmth of Sun had been enough.

WindThe harder I blew, the more he wrapped up. Now I understand.
SunWhen someone feels comfortable, they can choose without being pushed.
