Chapter three. 

The day the "Wind Man" lost his machine

One day in Fluffy-land just as the fluffy's where climbing the fluffy stairs to polish the sun they were stopped by a strange man with what looked like a clockwork key in his hand. “Have you seen a large machine with a huge fan on it at in your travels,” he asked? The Fluffy's all looked puzzled at each other and shook their heads

 “No, we haven’t seen anything like that.” they said, “What's if for” “I am the wind man” the strange man said “and I have lost my wind machine”

“We will help you try and find it” all the Fuffy's said, so off they all went in search in the wind man's wind machine, they looked high and low, but there were so many clouds that day, it seemed a hopeless task, one of them even went down to the man who sells the clouds to ask him, but he didn’t know, and told him to "go and get on with his work of polishing the sun", no one seemed to know where the wind machine had disappeared to.

That evening just as one of the fluffy's were tucking up their little ones for bedtime, Freddy and Fiona, Freddy Fluffy the younger of the two asked

 “Can we go and play on the cloud swing tomorrow Mummy” “Of course you can?” Mummy said, “I didn't even know we had a cloud swing, where is it”? “It’s behind the moon Mummy” “Well I had better go with you tomorrow just to make sure it’s safe for you to play on,” Mummy said. “It’s a long way to the moon".

A trip to the moon 

The next Morning Mummy Fluffy went with Freddy and Fiona fluffy to see the cloud swing, higher and higher they went up to the moon and around to the other side, and sure enough, there it was, a large swing with lots of Fluffy children swinging on it, and there sitting on another cloud was a large machine with a huge fan with one on the Fluffy's switching it on and off to make the cloud swing backwards and forwards.

 "Hahaha" laughed Mummy fluffy “so that's where the wind man's machine has been hiding, off she went to tell the wind man and they all laughed. “Well I suppose it won’t hurt to let them play on it just for today,” he said, “but I had better have it back tomorrow for it will need to be rewound again. I have to go down to Earth it's autumn now and I have to blow all the leaves away
