Many years ago, there was a very long, cold winter in Canada.
A young boy wanted to feel the warm spring wind. He asked his animal
friends, “Where is the spring wind?” Magpie said, “Bear stole the wind.” So the boy
said, “Let’s find it!”

At night, they went to Bear’s den. He was sleeping. Weasel saw the wind in a
bag. Coyote dragged the bag out of the den. Then, Chicken opened the bag with his
beak.
Suddenly, the warm spring wind came out. It woke Bear up. He promised that
he would never steal the wind again. Everybody was happy to get spring back!
