The sun and the wind One day the sun and the wind had a quarrel. The sun said he was stronger than the wind. And the wind said he was stronger than the sun. Just then they saw a man walking down below,with a hat and a coat on. The sun said: “Let’s see who can make the

man take off his hat and coat. If you can do that quicker than me, you are the stronger.” “All right,” said the wind, “I’ll try first.” So the wind began to blow. But the harder he blew, the tighter the man held his hat and coat. The wind could not make him take them off.

Then the sun tried. It shone quietly. Soon the man took off his hat and wiped his forehead. The sun began to shine a little brighter, and the man took off his coat. It shone harder, and the man began to take off his shirt. Then the wind said to the sun: “That’s enough. You are stronger than me.”
