The North Wind and Sun
The North wind and the Sun had a quarrel about which of them was the stronger
Hnnhh huuh huuuuh huhhhhh
I'm stronger than you.
That's not true,
everyone knows I'm the strongest.
Hnnnn huuuuuuh, that's not true
I am mightier than you.
Not so, my good friend,
my warm rays are more potential than your cold blasts.
Huuhhh, now we need to take a test
to prove ourselves.
Look, there is a traveller.
Out of us two, whom ever can force him to take off his coat
wins the argument. Do you understand?
Agreed
I will surely be able to encourage him
to remove his coat.
But please, you go first
and try your level best.
(Sound of wind blowing}
At once the North wind sent a cold howling blast against the traveller.
With the first gust of wind
the ends of the cloaks
whipped about
the traveler's body.
He immediately wrapped it around his body.
Oh my god,
how cold it is !
ohhhh ohhhhhh
I must button my coat up tight.
ohhhh ohhhhhh,
I never felt such a wind before.
Ohhh ohhhhhh
It seems determined
to tear off my coat.
Ohhh ohhhhhh ohh
As the harder the wind blew,
the tighter he held it to him.
The North wind tore angrily at the cloak,
but all his efforts were in vain.
Huhhhh hh,
I don't believe it !
It's not working.
I guess, I blew it.
Okay Sun, it's your turn.
Give it your best burn.
The Sun said nothing,
but came out from under a cloud
and smiled out at the traveller.
The sun smiles with
gentle rays on the shivering traveller.
How good that feels !
The sun shone on.
It's getting warm.
It was now past noon.
What an odd weather.
Now its so warm.
I don't even need my coat at all.
Relieved, the traveller happily removes his coat.
Ohh hohho
Well Sun, I'm convinced
You have proven your entire strength."
ohh ohhh
Kids, look here.
Gentleness and kind persuasion always win,
where force and rash activity fails.
Understand ?
