The story:                         THE WIND AND THE SUN

One afternoon, the Wind and the Sun are discussing about who is stronger.

      “I can uproot huge trees and I can drown millions of ships, you can’t do either of those things” says the Wind proudly.

      The Sun smiles and says: “I think I’m stronger than you.” The Wind gets angry and says: I can cover you with clouds and no one can see you!”

      The sun says: “You can’t do that.” The sun smiles warmly and again says: “I still think I’m stronger than you.

        “Why don’t we have a test?” the Wind finally asked. I can whip around and I can look for something to show my strength.

      “Can you see the man over there?” asked the Sun. the Wind looks and sees a man walking down a road. He has a coat.

      “Can you take the coat off?” the sun asks.

       “I can do, let’s  see who can take his coat off.” the Wind replies.

The Wind starts to whip around the sky and he blows, blows again.

The man gets angry and closes his coat tightly.

        “I give up, I can’t do it” says the Wind.

“Now it’s my turn, I can take his coat off.” The sun says. The Sun seems to grow brighter a bigger in the sky; soon it is as hot as a summer day.

The man looks up at the sky and says what a strange weather we are having today. Then he takes his coat off.

The Sun and The wind look each other.

“You can do a lot things, I can see, it looks like you win.” the Wind says and accepts that the sun is stronger than him.
