THE WIND AND THE SUN
Once the wind and the sun had a quarrel.
The sun said,
"I am stronger than you."
The wind said,
"No, I am stronger than you."
"Let us see," said the sun. "Here comes a man with a big cloak. Can you make him take it off?"
"Surely I can," said the wind.
"Try," said the sun.
The sun went behind the clouds.
The wind began to blow.
How he did blow!
But the man pulled his cloak close about him.
He did not care for the wind.
At last the wind gave it up.
"Now you try," he said to the sun.
The sun came out from the clouds.
He shone down upon the man.
"How warm it is!" said the man. "I must take off my cloak."
So he took off his cloak.
"You have beaten," said the wind. "You are stronger than I."
