Geoff Burch - Post Box“I bet I can get that coat off him” the wind declared.
“You’re on!” said the sun, “A tenner says you can’t.”
The wind gathered up all its force and howled down from the sky and it hit the man at full power. He ended up tumbling down the road like an Autumn leaf but with every blast he pulled the coat tighter and tighter around him. In the end the wind gave up exhausted.
“OK” he admitted to the sun, “You win, the guy will never let that coat go.”
“I can get it off him” grinned the sun. “Want to get your money back double or quits?”
“You’re on.”
The sun rose majestically into the sky where he smiled and shone and blazed. The flowers opened, the puddles dried, the birds began to sing. The man mopped his sweating brow, smiled and of course took off his coat (whilst singing, I’m sure, zipidee doo dah).
Will your customers be singing zipidee doo dah once you have finished with them?
