Blow Hot, Blow 
Cold
Overview
Special Ability
"Blow Hot, Blow Cold" follows a 
woodcutter with a seemingly 
magical ability to control 
temperature with his breath, 
cooling things down with 
gentle breaths and warming 
things up with stronger ones.
Practical Applications
The woodcutter uses this 
ability in various practical 
ways - chilling food and drinks 
when needed, warming his 
hands in cold weather, and 
even heating his home for 
comfort.
Fire Management
One fascinating aspect is how he breathes into the fireplace, gently 
blowing to strengthen the flames. This gives the fire a boost of 
energy, demonstrating his control over heat in different situations.

Introduction
Daily Routine
The story follows a hardworking 
woodcutter who ventures into the 
forest daily to cut wood, which he 
later sells in the city. During a 
particularly cold winter day, he 
repeatedly blows on his hands to 
warm them while working.
Curious Observer
Mian Balishtiye, a tiny creature, 
observes this behavior with curiosity 
but initially hesitates to inquire. 
Eventually, he approaches the 
woodcutter to ask about this peculiar 
action and learns it's to warm frozen 
hands.
The Misunderstanding
Later, when the woodcutter blows on 
hot potatoes to cool them for lunch, 
Mian Balishtiye becomes frightened, 
believing the woodcutter must be a 
supernatural being capable of 
blowing both hot and cold with the 
same breath.

Theme
Limited 
Perspective
The story illustrates how 
Mian Balishtiye 
misinterprets the 
woodcutter's actions 
due to his limited 
understanding and 
viewpoint. He fails to 
grasp that the same 
action can have 
different effects in 
different contexts.
Misinterpretation
When seeing the 
woodcutter blow on his 
hands to warm them, 
Mian Balishtiye assumes 
the same action on the 
potato would make it 
hotter, not realizing the 
woodcutter was actually 
cooling it down.
Communication 
Importance
The story highlights how 
effective 
communication could 
have prevented 
confusion. Mian 
Balishtiye's fear stems 
from making 
assumptions rather than 
seeking clarification, 
showing how 
misunderstandings arise 
from poor 
communication.

Summary of Blow Hot, Blow Cold
1
Multiple Uses of Breath
The woodcutter demonstrates 
versatility by blowing on his 
hands to warm them in winter, 
on hot potatoes to cool them for 
eating, and on the fire to help 
the wood burn better. This 
shows how the same action can 
serve different purposes in 
different contexts.
2
Scientific Principle
The story illustrates the 
scientific principle that we blow 
to both cool warm things and 
warm cold things. This seemingly 
contradictory ability is based on 
simple physics rather than 
magic.
3
Water Vapor 
Phenomenon
The hot air we breathe out 
contains water vapor that 
condenses into tiny droplets 
when it contacts colder surfaces 
like mirrors. This scientific 
explanation helps demystify 
what might otherwise seem like 
a magical ability.
