The Wind and the Sun were having an argument over which was the most powerful. "I am the strongest!", claimed the wind. "No, I am most powerful." replied the Sun. Suddenly they spotted a traveler walking down the road and agreed to a contest to see which of them could get the traveler to remove his cloak .




So the Sun hid behind a cloud, and the Wind began to blow with great force upon the traveler. But the harder he blew the more closely the travel wrapped his cloak round him. Till at last, the Wind gave up in despair .



Then the Sun came out and gently smiled his warmth upon the traveler, who soon found it too hot to walk with his cloak on.



 

 

 

The lesson learned from this story...

Being kind and warm

has more power and influence over people

than brute force.
