Are you ready to hear a story?

This one's about a little girl visiting her grandparents' farm.

And things get really interesting with the farm animals.

Wind magic at the farm, written by Nicole Esquino.

One more story, pretty please, begged Naomi.

All right, one short tale, then lights off little miss, Grandma said.

Naomi snuggled close to her stuffed unicorn and prepared to listen.

Grandma's stories always contained magic, which delighted Naomi.

They were one of her favorite things about sleepovers at Grandma's farm.

My grandmother shared this story with me when I was about your age, Grandma began.

The wind has a special job to do.

It dries up wet areas, it moves seeds and pollen about so plants and flowers can grow.

But did you know the wind also carries magic?

You know that whooshing sound you hear when a gust of wind passes by?

That's the wind, whispering its magic and sprinkling it to earth.

Now mind you, not every wind is dripping with magic.

It's a special wind, the kind of wind that makes the wind chimes tinkle with glee and

play a merry song.

The kind that tickles the back of your neck and makes the tiny hairs on your arms stand

up.

And then suddenly the wind stops.

Everything gets quiet.
