A young man was walking along with the wind. The wind offered him a pleasant walk. The obstacles were swept away and the wind kept pushing him foward, gently supporting his back. The young man saw a cliff ahead, he figured the wind would help him overcome any trouble. The wind kept pushing him, the young man didn't ask any questions, didn't try to fight the wind and fell down into the bottomless pit.
An old man was fighting the wind. Ever since he was young he refused the wind to guide him. All he wanted was to go against the wind, beat the wind and find freedom on the other side. The wind never stopped blowing, the man never stopped fighting. Years passed, and on his 70th birthday he was still fighting the wind. Lack of force made the wind sweep him away. Carried by his enemy the old man got pushed off the cliff.
A small girl was being pushed by the wind. She reasoned with the wind and asked it to lay low at times so she could have a look at a windless world. She would never fight it, since she acknowledged she could never win. The wind was happy to push the girl along rough pads and appreciated the rest she offered him without disrespecting his force. The wind told the girl to run into him once in a while, so he would blow away old age from her face. And as such forever and ever this girl will keep the power and beauty of her youth.
