them. But the man clutched his coat tight against him. Then, the wind blew harder and longer. The
harder the wind blew, the tighter the man held his coat against him. The harder the wind blew, the
tighter the man held his coat against him. The wind blew until he was tired, but he could not remove
the coat from the man’s back.

Listening Texts
It was a cold morning by the beach. Louie and some of his friends were
walking along the shore. Their small feet dug small holes in the sand as they
walked. Louie noticed something moving in one of the holes. Looking closely, it was
a tiny crab trembling in the cold. “Sorry, little crab. Go, get yourself warmer deep
into your haven”, said Louie.
