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.
