The three brothers: Wind, Rain, and Snow
故事全文
Wind, Rain, and Snow were brothers. One day, they gathered together and started talking. They spoke of many things, and began to brag about themselves.
Rain was the first to speak. He said, “I just need to fall gently to make the whole world wet.” Wind replied, “Your power is nothing compared to mine. For I am the mightiest! I just need to puff gently, and all the grass, trees, and houses will be blown away.” Rain did not want to lose to his brother. So, he replied, “If I rained with all my might, I could make a catastrophic flood that would drown everything on earth and make mountains crumble, I could even…” Wind did not wait for his brother to finish speaking and said, “If I blew with all my might, I could send everything up to the sky, the world will be so dusty, you won’t be able to see a thing!”
Snow finally opened his mouth to speak, “The both of you are proud and arrogant. Because of that, you have destroyed everything on Earth. I am different. I love to sit on top of mountains, making the mountain tops white and beautiful. Many people travel a long way to come and see me, unlike the both of you, whom everybody dislikes. So tell me, am I not the greatest?”
