THE NORTH WIND AND THE SUN
"I am stronger than you," said the North Wind to the Sun.
"That is not true," said the Sun. "Everyone knows that I am the
stronger."
"Show me that you are stronger than I," replied the North Wind.
"You know very well that you are not."
"Do you see that traveler coming? I can make him take off his
coat. You can not," said the Sun.
"We will see about that," answered the North Wind. "The one that
makes the traveler take off his coat is the victor."
"All right," said the Sun, "and you may have the first trial."
"Whew! How the North Wind blows," said the traveler. "Whew! whew!
Hold on there, North Wind; I would rather walk than fly. Whew!
whew!
"How cold it is! I must button my coat uptight. Whew! whew! whew!
I never felt such a wind before," said the traveler, as he folded
his arms over his breast. "It seems determined to tear off my
coat. I will turn my back to it. Whew! whew! whew! whew!" But the
more the wind blew, the tighter the traveler held on to his coat.
At last the North Wind said, "I will try no longer, but you, Sun,
can do no better."
The Sun said nothing, but came out from under a cloud and smiled
down upon the traveler.
"How good that feels!" said the traveler. The Sun shone on. "It is
getting warm," said the traveler, unbuttoning his coat.
It was now past noon. "The Sun is too much for me," said the
traveler, and he threw off his coat and hunted for a shady place.
The North Wind's harshness had failed. The Sun's gentleness had
won.
