Comments: This is a nice short story. Students at first will think the story is being told from the little girl's perspective, but it was from the winds perspective. Challenging questions can be derived from this story like, "does the wind want to be human?" There also seems to be a relationship between the little girl and the wind. Students will need to define their idea of the relationship.
