1. Title: The North Wind and the Sun quarrelled as to who was the stronger. 2. The Sun says: "I propose a wager: See yonder traveller, let us see who can make him remove his cloak." 3. The northwind blows on the traveller, the sun says: "You blow yet he only wraps it tighter!" 4. The sun shines on the traveller, saying: Observe! . The traveller mutters "nice and warm" 5. The Sun says "See, my kindness brought results!" The traveller has removed hos cloak and begins to sweat. "Fair enough, you win." concedes the North Wind. 6. "Tremble before my gracious heat!" says the sun, smiling bradly. His heat has started a fire. the traveller flees. The North Wind says "I think that’s enough." 7. "Let the world burn with my cleansing benevolence!!" blazes the sun madly, now grown huge in the sky. The land is a burning fireball. "Now you’re scaring me!" says the North Wind anxiously.
