8. The wind and The sun
Once, the Wind and the Sun had a quarrel.
Either of them claimed to be stronger. At last, they agreed to have a trial of strength.
“Here comes a traveler. Let us see who can strip him of his cloak,” said the Sun.
The Wind agreed and chose to have the first turn. He blew in the hardest possible way.
As a result, the traveler wrapped his cloak even more tightly around him.
Then it was the turn of the Sun.
At first he shone very gently.
So, the traveler loosened his cloak from his neck.
The sun went on shining brighter and brighter.
The traveler felt hot. Before long, he took off his cloak and put it in his bag.
And thus the Sun won the challenge and the Wind had to accept his defeat.
