A
There was a little island in the middle of the ocean with only three people on it, a farmer, a gardener and a butler (男管家). The farmer lived on the right side of the island. He had a cow. The gardener lived on the left side and he had some flowers. The butler lived in the center and he had a horse. They were all very pleased with what they had, but this changed one day when a big wind named Wind-Lou blew in from the sea.
The three people made it a law that they could keep whatever was blown to their land. The farmer and the gardener waited for the Wind-Lou all day and wanted to get the horse. The butler didn’t mind what was blown to him. If he got the cow, he would say, “Delicious milk!” If he got the flowers, he would say “Sweet flowers!” Now that he owned the horse, he rode it happily.
Wind-Lou blew day and night. She blew the three things around and finally blew them back to their original owners.
The farmer and the gardener were not pleased with what was blown to them. They were jealous of the butler’s happiness and his horse, so they planned to steal it.
News about their plan came to Windy-Lou, and she was angry. So she blew all their things to the butler’s land. She thought that only the people who were always pleased with what they had could be truly happy.
