“Come, Stella, our newest baby, come play with me,” the wind whistled to the clay.Just as I opened my eyes to the world for the first time, the wind gathered up my blanket and me, and carried us up, up, out the window and into the new day.“Whee, this is fun!” I sang.Without warning, the wind changed direction and dropped me. Down, down, down, I plummeted, like an injured bird. Plop! I landed in a huge pile of leaves. “Ohhhhhh,” I gasped.
