The wind and sun argue about who is more powerful. They agree to a contest where whoever removes a man's jacket first wins. The wind blows hard but the man bundles up more. The sun shines gently and warms the man until he removes his jacket, making the sun the winner.

The Wind and the Sun


The wind and the sun are having a disagreement.
“I am the most powerful!” says the wind.
“No, I am the most powerful!” says the sun.

“I can blow trees to the ground!” brags the wind. “I can


push ships across the ocean. I can make hurricanes and
tornadoes!”

“Is that right?” replies the sun. “Well, I can melt all the
snow on the mountains. I can dry up an entire lake. I can
make a sidewalk so hot that it cooks an egg!”

Just then, they see a man walking along the road in his
winter jacket .

“Let’s have a contest to see who is more powerful,” says the
wind. “Whoever can remove the man’s jacket first wins.”

The sun agrees.


The wind goes first. He blows a gust of cold wind at the
man.

The man shivers and zips up his jacket. “Brrr! What a cold
and windy day!”

It starts to rain. The wind blows even harder and turns the
rain into snow.

“Well look at that! It’s snowing!” says the man. “Snow


wasn’t in the weather forecast today...”
He pulls his hood over his head.

The wind blows his strongest gust towards the man, but the
man’s jacket stays on.
"Hmm. It’s a bit fresh today…” he says. “A winter storm
must be coming..." He zips the jacket higher to cover his
nose.

“Gah! This is impossible,” says the wind. He stops blowing.


“My turn!” says the sun.

First the sun shines enough to stop the snow. The man
unzips his hood.

Then the sun pulls the clouds apart and gently shines down
on the man. Suddenly, it is a beautiful spring day.

“Wow. The weather sure is strange around here!” says the


man. He unzips his jacket.

The sun gently wiggles her fingers and increases the


temperature.

“What strange weather. Now it feels like summer!” the


man says as he begins to sweat. "Goodness me, it's so hot!"

He removes his winter jacket. He lies down on the grass for


a nap in the warm sun.

"I win!" says the sun, beaming.

Moral: Sometimes warmth and
gentleness can achieve more than strength
and force.
