The North Wind and the Sun had a quarrel about which
of them was stronger. While they were disputing... a Traveler
passed along the road wrapped in a doak.
"Let us agree," said the Sun, that he is the stronger who can
strip that Traveler of his cloak."
“Very well" growled the North Wind, and at once sent
a cold, howling blast against the Traveler.
With the first gust of wind the ends of the cloak whipped
about the Traveler's body. But... the harder the Wind blew,
the tighter he held it to him.
Then the Sun began to shine. At first his beams were gentle,
and in the pleasant warmth after the bitter cold of the North
Wind, the Traveler unfastened his doak and let it hang loosely
from his shoulders. The Sun's rays grew warmer and warmer.
The man took off his cap and mopped his brow. At last he
became so heated that he pulled off his doak, and, to escape
the blazing sunshine, threw himself down in the welcome
shade of a tree by the roadside.
