THE WIND AND THE SUN
 

 

Once the wind and the sun came to have a quarrel. Either of them claimed to be a stronger. At last they agreed to have a trial of strength.

“Here comes a traveler. Let us see who can strip him of his clock,” said the Sun.

The Wind agreed and chose to have the first turn. He blew in the hardest possible way. As a result, the traveler wrapped his cloak even more tightly around him.

 

 
Then it was the turn of the Sun. At first he shown every gently. So, the traveler loosened his cloak from his neck.

The sun went on shinning brighter and brighter. The traveler felt hot. Before long he took off his cloak and put it in his bag. The Wind had to accept his defeat.

MORAL: FURY OR FORCE CUTS NO ICE WHERE GENTLENESS DOES THE JOB.
