i88 Language Through Nature 



The wind had nothing more to say, and though 

 he still likes to show his strength, he knows that 

 the silent sun can conquer, while he storms in vain. 



Tell the story of the sun and the wind in your 

 own words. 



Great is the sun and wide he goes 

 Through empty heaven without repose; 

 And in the blue and glowing days 

 More thick than rain he showers his rays. 



From "Summer Sun" by Robert Louis Stevenson.
