Once upon a time, the Wind and the Sun were arguing who was the stronger among them. Suddenly they saw a traveller coming down the road. The Sun said to the Wind, "I see a way to decide our argument. Whoever can cause this traveller to take off his cloak shall be regarded as the stronger." The Wind agreed. The Sun then went away behind the clouds. The Wind began to blow as hard as he could upon the traveller, trying to blow his cloak away from him. But the harder he blew, the more closely the traveller wrapped his cloak around him, until at last the Wind gave up. Then the Sun came out and shone his light and warmth upon the traveller. Finally the traveller felt hot and had to take off his cloak to continue his journey.
