Translation

The North Wind and the Sun

Once upon a time, North Wind and Sun were having an argument about which one was the stronger. Just at that time, a person wearing a long coat came by. The two agreed that whichever one was able to make the person take off his coat first was the strongest. North Wind then used his strength to blow very hard. The harder he blew, the harder the person pulled his coat around his body. North Wind finally saw that he couldn't do it, so he stopped trying. Then Sun came out and made it really warm, so that the person immediately took his coat off. North Wind was forced to admit that Sun was stronger than he was.
