see that man walking
down the road? I can get
his coat off more quickly
than you can!

will see who is stronger.
I will let you try first.

cheeks and blowing
hard): Whooooooooh…

MAN: How strong
the wind is today! It is
blowing my coat away! I
must hold it tightly
round myself.
WIND (blowing harder) : Whooooooooh…
whoooooooooooooo !
MAN (pulling his coat
more tightly): How cold it
is!
WIND: Sun, I give up.
I cannot get his coat off !

Let me try. (He
shines hard.) MAN: What
a funny day!
It was so cold and
now it is so hot!
