The Story.
Once a dispute
arose between the sun and the wind. Each said that it was stronger than the
other. They decided to try their strength upon a traveler to put off his coat.
The wind won the
toss and tried first. It began to blow very furiously. But the more it did so,
the more tightly did the traveler wrap up his coat around him. Then came the
turn of the sun. It shone so brightly that the traveler began to perspire from
top to toe. Soon he was forced to put off his coat and shirt. This practical
proof of the strength of the sun was gladly acknowledged by the wind.
