The Sun and the Wind
One day the sun and the wind had a quarrel.The sun said he was stronger than the wind.And the wind said he was stronger than the sun.Just then they saw a man walking down below with a hat and a coat on,The sun said,"Let's see who can make the man take off his hat and coat.If you can do that quicker than I,then you are the stronger.""All right,"said the wind,"I'll try first."
So the wind began to blow.But the harder he blew,the tighter the man held his hat and coat.The wind could not make him take them off.
Then the sun tried.It shone quietly.Soon the man took off his hat and wiped his forehead.The sun began to shine a little brighter,and the man took off his coat.It shone harder still,and the man began to take off his shirt.Then the wind said to the sun,“That's enough.You are stronger than me.

太阳和风
一天,太阳和风争吵起来。太阳说自己比风更强大有力，而风说自己比太阳更强大有力。正在这时他俩看到下面有个戴着帽子穿着大衣的行人，太阳说：“我们看谁能最先让他脱去衣帽，如果你能你就比我强。”
“好啊，”风说，“我先试。”
于是风开始吹。 但是他越使劲，那人便把衣帽裹得越紧。风始终无法让那人脱去衣帽。
然后是太阳了。他很快照耀大地，那人脱掉帽子擦前额的汗。太阳加强了一点光，那人脱掉大衣。光热更强了，那人便开始脱衬衫了。风说：“够了，你的确比我强。”
