Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from What the Wind Told to the Tree-Tops "Hush-sh-s-sh!"said the tops of the pine-trees, nodding beckoning to each other. "Hush-sh-h! the Wind´s coming." And, sure enough, in another moment there he was. "Tell us a story!" cried the tree-tops all together. "It´s so stupid standing here alone all day long. We cannot travel like you, Wind. Tell us a story!" The Wind is a kindly old fellow for all his gruffness, and, not being in one of his blustering moods just then, he reflected that it was rather stupid for the trees - this having to stand rooted to one spot year in and year out, with never so much as a summer trip to the mountains or a run across the ocean; so he puffed away a few moments just to get back the breath he had lost in rushing down from the North Pole to carry the Christmas snows to the boys, who were waiting for coasting and snowballing, and good-naturedly began: "Years and years and years ago," said the Wind, "when I was not a great wind at all, only a little balmy breeze blowing over a far-away country - " "What country?" cried two pert little hemlocks. "Little ones should be seen and not heard!" shouted Wind, knocking their heads together for punishment. "Don´t interrupt again. Be polite." "Blowing over a far-away country," resumed the Wind, "I came to a village nestling among the hills, just in the dark hour before the dawn. The cedars on the hill-tops stirred through all their branches, and the olives and the palm-trees whispered to each other as I drew near, and cried, ´Are you coming to see the child?´ About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
