STORY; the Wind and the Sun
One day the Wind and
the Sun were disputing which was stronger. Suddenly they saw a traveler coming
down the road.
The
Sun : I see a way to decide our
dispute. Whichever of us can cause that traveler to take off his cloak shall be
regarded as the strongest.
The Wind : Would you mind not talking so loudly?
The Sun : Sorry. Okay, you begin. I will
retire behind a cloud.
The Wind : I will blow as hard as I can and I’ll
be the winner.
The Sun : Okay. Good luck.
The
Wind : Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. I’m
so tired. What is happening to me? I shouldn’t give up. I have to blow harder.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
But the harder he blew
the closer the traveler wrapped his cloak around him, till at last the Wind had
to give up in despair. Then the Sun came out and shone in all his glory upon
the traveler, who soon found it too hot to walk with his cloak on.
