The
Sun
and the
North Wind
The Sun and the North Wind were talking to each other in the sky. The North Wind was
saying that he was better than everyone else. The Sun listened as the North Wind talked
with
enthusiasm about how powerful he was and how he could push something from
one
continent to another with one breath. He said, “I am the strongest thing in the sky.”
“Really?” asked the Sun. “How do you know that you are more powerful than the
stars, or the rain, or even me?”
The North Wind laughed with
disrespect. He yelled, “You? That’s a joke!”
This hurt the Sun. He was usually
timid and did not want to cause
conflict. Today he
decided that he should teach the North Wind a lesson.
In the
meantime, a man began walking along the
avenue down on Earth. When the
Sun looked down on the
terrain below, he saw the man. He pointed down to the Earth
and said, “Do you see that man walking below? I bet I can get his jacket off of him. Can
you?”
“Of course!” the North Wind replied as he took a deep breath and filled his lungs
with air. He used all of his
muscles in his face and
belly to
blow winds at his target in
