Once upon a time, there was a small island called Windy Land. The island was known for its strong and constant winds that blew from the east. On the leeward side of the island, the wind was calm and peaceful, making it a perfect place for animals and plants to grow. But on the windward side, the wind was strong and gusty, making it difficult for anything to survive.

One day, a group of brave animals decided to venture into the windward side of the island to find a solution to the windy problem. They found a place called the rain shadow, where the wind was not as strong, and the rain was scarce. The animals quickly realized that the rain shadow was the perfect place for them to live.

The prevailing winds on the windward side of the island brought with them plenty of rain, which made the rain shadow a lush and thriving environment. The animals were happy in their new home and lived there happily ever after.

The end.
