Story Synopsis
“The Wind” is a traditional verse that links each direction to a simple feeling or effect. When the wind comes from the east, it’s described as uncomfortable. From the north, it’s too rough for fishing. From the south, it seems to help the fish bite. And from the west, the day feels at its best. There’s no plot—just rhythm, observation, and a sense of nature moving around us. For ages 3–8, it works as a quick bedtime poem: short enough to repeat twice, and calm enough to end the night on a quiet thought about weather and seasons.
Story Excerpt
When the wind is in the East, 'Tis neither good for man nor beast; When the wind is in the North, The skilful fisher goes not forth; When the wind is in the South, It blows the bait in the fish's mouth; When the wind is in the West, Then 'tis at the very best.
