Transcript
00:19Esther was terrified of the wind.
00:22Whether it came as a calm breeze or a raging blizzard, it didn't make much difference.
00:27Winds like these reminded her of Dewey Winslow, the boy who could conjure up gusts and gales
00:35with just a single breath.
00:40She remembered him well.
00:42He lived three doors down, and you could say they were acquaintances.
00:46She'd never forget the first incident.
00:50With one mighty blow, the cake flew straight across the table and landed on Esther's face.
00:58The others were scared of what had just happened.
01:01Esther didn't know how to feel.
01:03But before she could say anything, she was whisked away.
01:07Come on, Esther.
01:08Word spread quickly after that.
01:16One child told another who told another, until the entire town seemed to know.
01:23Even Mrs. Pinsted had a version of the tale.
01:26What Dewey said to Bobby Trewitt about that dreadful Winslow boy.
01:31Dewey Winslow.
01:33Esther cared.
01:35Of course she did.
01:37But she was quiet.
01:39Too shy to speak up.
01:42Dewey began to feel scared.
01:45Alone.
01:48Things turned up for Dewey Winslow when the ringmaster of Whirligig and Widget's Wandering Circus
01:55had heard of the boy with the extraordinary power.
01:59He promised Dewey he'd become a sensation.
02:02And the town, curious and eager, turned out in droves.
02:09Dewey winslow.
02:46They laughed, they pointed, they hollered.
02:55Everything happened so quickly, and being too scared to interfere, Esther turned away.
03:05Dewey's eyes welled up and feeling angry and betrayed, he blew.
03:13The hats came off, the people flew, one by one they rose into the air.
03:20That night, Dewey Winslow blew the entire town of honeydew pies right into the night sky.
03:29Every house, building, tree and person was gone forever.
03:51And as for Dewey Winslow, he vanished.
03:55She never saw him again, almost as if he'd never existed at all.
04:07They say the windstorm passed by morning, but for Esther, something always lingered in the air.
04:13Yeah.
04:42No, no, no, no.
04:49Do we win slow?
