Wind: A Gust of Wind at Ejiri, by Katsushika Hokusai.

In this picture, people huddle against the wind's powerful force and struggle to hold on to their belongings.

Do you think they're in danger?

The wind is strong enough to pull the leaves off the trees and send objects flying.

Point to the woman whose papers are being scattered by the blowing air.

Do you think she'll ever get them back? Where you do think they'll finally land?
