The Wind and the Sun

The Wind and the Sun are having an argument. The Wind says that it is stronger but the Sun doesn't agree.
"I can blow down trees and tear off the roofs of houses," the Wind says proudly.
"Ah, but I give warmth to people and make plants grow", the Sun says.
"I still think I am stronger", says the Wind.

At that moment, a traveler is walking down the road. The Wind has an idea.
"If I can make the traveler take off his clothes, you must say that I am stronger than you are. If you can do it, I will say that you are stronger" the Wind says.
"All right," the Sun agrees. It then hides behind the clouds. The Wind begins to blow very hard.
Who - o - oh, who - o - oh!
The traveler feels cold because of the strong wind. However, he doesn't take off his clothes. As the Wind becomes stronger, he puts on a thick coat.
Finally, the Wind is tired and stops blowing.
"It is my turn now," says the Sun.
It pushes away the clouds and starts to shine.
As the Sun shines brighter and brighter, the traveler feels very hot. He take off his thick coat.
"What a strange day this is! The wind was blowing so hard just a moment ago. Now the sun is shining so brightly" the traveler says to himself.
He feels hotter and hotter so he takes off his clothes one by one. First he takes off his sweater, his shirt, his hat and then his boots. When he comes to a river, he wants very much to swim. He takes off all his clothes and jumps into the river.
The Sun smiles happily. Certainly he has won. The Wind has to agree that the Sun is stronger and cleverer.
