The North Wind And The Sun
Aesop Fable: The North Wind And The Sun
The north wind and the Sun disputed as to which was the
most powerful, and agreed that he should be declared the
victor who could first strip a wayfaring man of his clothes.
The North Wind first tried his power and blew with all his
might, but the keener his blasts, the closer the Traveler
wrapped his cloak around him, until at last, resigning all
hope of victory, the Wind called upon the Sun to see what
he could do.
The Sun suddenly shone out with all his
warmth. The Traveler no sooner felt his genial rays than he
took off one garment after another, and at last, fairly overcome
with heat, undressed and bathed in a stream that lay
in his path.
Persuasion is better than Force.
