'AH right said the other obligins-
Nv, lets sit down and plan something
10 do"
So they dropped the leaves they
were playing with and sat down in a
nice coy corner amid some bushes.
Now what shall we do?" said the
second little breeze, when they were
comfortably settled.
"Oh, I don't know said the first,
Il like the winter time when we can
rush around and blow the snow and
hammer the shutters and bang the
doors"
But we are away up in the forest
here" answered the contented breeze,
land there are no shutters or doors
and anyway winter hasn't come yet
That's just it, whined the first
breeze. were way off in this lone
some forest and it isn't any fun at
air.
The contented little breeze could
think of nothing to say just then, so
he kept very still-which shows he
was wiser than many people.
ooh. I know" shouted the first
breeze, lets blow into town and blow.
and keep on blowing till we fool
everybody and make them think win
ter has come Won't it be joke"
And he laughed so heartily over his
own joke that the bushes near ~
creaked and cracked with mira
No sooner had he made the plan
than the energetic little breeze got
busy He blew round the forest and
got all his brother and sister and
cousin breezes to help him.
Were going to play joke on peo-
pIe." he explained to all; well blow
into town. and blow so hard that the
stupid people will think winter has
started down from the North Pole
And all the little breezes laughed
and chuckied over the joke that was
