The Sun and the Wind were quarrelling about which was the stronger, and the Wind said, "I'll prove I am. See that old man down there with a coat? I bet I can make him take his coat off faster than you can."
So the sun went behind a cloud and the wind blew until it was almost a tornado, but the harder it blew the tighter the old man wrapped his coat about him.
Finally, the wind calmed down and gave up. The sun came out from behind the cloud and smiled kindly on the old man. He mopped his brow and pulled off his coat.
The sun then told the wind, "gentleness and friendliness were always stronger than fury and force."
