The wind and the sun had an argument about which was the stronger .
They agreed to decide the question in this way . They would see which could make a man take off his clothing .They found a man on a road and the wind began . It blew violently . But the harder it blew,the more tightly the man held his clothing to him .When the wind blew still harder, the man put on another wrap . The wind gave up and let the sun take its turn .Firstthe sun shone moderately,and the man removed the extra wrap. Then it shone so fiercely that the man took off all his clothing and cooled himself in a river near the road
