One day, the sun and the wind were arguing about which the stronger was. They could not agree about it. At that very moment, they saw a man walking along the road on the earth down below. They made up their minds that each would try to make him stop walking. The wind tried first to blew down loud and strong, but the man simply pulled his coat close to him, drew on his hat and walked on.
Louder and stronger blew the wind but still the man did not stop. Then the wind drew in its breath for one last mighty blow. But the man simply tightened his belt, grasped his coat firmly and them with his head bent forward, he forced his way along.
Then came sun. First, it removed the dull clouds that the storm had caused. Then it smiled down on the earth below and the land felt the gentle heat. Then the sun smiled more and more and it shone brighter than ever. Soon the man had to take off his coat and then his hat. Then he began to wave his hat like fan. The sun smiled more broadly than ever and in the end the man hat to stop and take shelter under a big leafy tree. It was a proud sun that set that night for great and the strong wind had to admit that the sun had beaten him
