The wind and the sun were disputing1 who was the stronger.
Suddenly they saw a traveler coming down the road. The sun said, Whoever can make the traveler take off his coat will be the stronger.
So the sun hid behind a cloud, and the wind began to blow as hard as it could. As the wind blew harder, the traveler wrapped his coat more closely2 around himself.
Then the sun came out. He shone on the traveler. The traveler soon felt quite hot, and took off his coat.

风和太阳
风和太阳两方为哪个的能量大相互争论不休。
忽然,他们看到一个行人走在路上,太阳说:哪个能使行人脱下衣服,哪个就更强大。
太阳藏在乌云后面,风开始拼命地吹,风刮得越猛烈,行人越是裹紧我们的衣服。
太阳出来了,暖暖地晒着行人,行人感到非常热,非常快就把外套脱了下来。
含义: 劝说总是比强迫更为有效。
