The north wind and the sun

The north wind and the sun story

One day, the North Wind and the Sun were arguing. They were trying to decide which one of them was stronger.

When a traveller came along wrapped up in his overcoat, they agreed that the one who could make the traveller take off his coat would be declared the stronger of the two.

The North Wind began. He blew as hard as he could, but the harder he blow, the tighter the traveller wrapped his coat around himself. Finally, the North Wind gave up.

Then the Sun began to shine with intense heat and, right away, the traveller took off his coat.

The North Wind had to concede; the Sun was stronger than he.
