“And just to prove to you how sure I am of my strength,” Sun said, “I will let you have the first
chance.”

coat tighter around him. The harder Wind blew, the tighter the man held on to his flopping coat and hat. At

traveller. The traveller felt the sun’s warmth, and as the sun shone brighter, the man grew warmer and
warmer. He began to loosen his coat. Finally, he was forced to take off his hat, his coat and his shirt. He sat
