The North Wind's Gift

THE BOY WHO WENT TO THE NORTH WIND (A Norse tale) Adapted by Amy Friedman and illustrated by Jillian Gilliland ONCE upon a time an old widow sent her only son out to the barn to fetch some meal. Just as the lad was walking out of the barn with it, the North Wind blew up fierce and wild. Huffing and puffing, the North Wind caught up the meal from the lad's arms, and off it blew, far, far away.
