Under a disconcerting sky, the wind has decided to take a sabbatical. Weather vanes from around the world, unemployed and disturbed, are seeking to retrain.
The wind, that gentle breeze caressing faces on sunny days or that fearsome gust making shutters groan during stormy nights, has decided to take an indefinite break. “Enough! I am constantly under pressure, I work day and night without rest. It’s time for me to take some time for myself,” declared the wind in a fragmented and garbled statement, leaving listeners searching for meaning amidst the sound bursts.
The world, accustomed to seeing weather vanes flutter to indicate the direction of the wind, is stunned. The weather vanes, feeling useless and anxious, are looking for ways to retrain. “We’ve never had to think about anything else. Our job was simple – to show the direction of the wind. But now, we are as lost as leaves in autumn,” lamented Mrs. Giro, representative of weather vanes worldwide.
Nature, for its part, is bewildered by this unexpected hiatus. Leaves remain still, ocean waves are calmer, and kites are on technical unemployment. Even wind turbines, those giant rotators, are on standby, waiting for their ally’s return. “It’s the first time in the history of existence that we have seen the wind on strike. It’s a complete upheaval of the ecosystem. We hope the wind will return soon,” confided Professor Tournesol, a renowned meteorologist.
In the meantime, the world holds its breath, hoping for the wind’s return. “We hope the wind will realize how much we need it. We can’t wait to turn again and show the world the direction of the wind,” concluded Mrs. Giro, her wavering voice betraying her concern.
“I just need to feel appreciated and take a break from all these whirlwinds of responsibility; I’m not sure when I’ll be back…” murmured the wind, becoming increasingly discreet.
