The Girl Who Loved the Wind• Genre- Folktale• Point of View- Third Person• Author’s Purpose- Entertain

The need for new experiences and new challenges is sometimes greater than the need for security.

Life’s realities and dangers cannot be kept away.

A wealthy man tries to protect his daughter, Danina, from pain and unhappiness by shutting her away from the world. Living in a walled estate and surrounded by ever-smiling servants, she knows nothing but beauty and love.

Then one day the wind slips over the walls and explains that life is not always happy and not always kind…

have about the story.
