*English translation: | |||
The North Wind and the Sun were disputing which was the stronger, when a traveler came along wrapped in a warm cloak. | |||
They agreed that the one, who first succeeded in making the traveler take his cloak off, should be considered stronger than the other. | |||
Then the North Wind blew as hard as he could, but the more he blew the more closely did the traveler fold his cloak around him; | |||
and at last the North Wind gave up the attempt. Then the Sun shined out warmly, and immediately the traveler took off his cloak. | |||
And so the North Wind was obliged to confess that the Sun was the stronger of the two. | |||
