One day, the wind and the sun were arguing about who was the strongest. "It is clear that I am the strongest," said the wind. "When I blow, branches break off the trees, and the waves beat on the shore."
"That's nothing," said the sun. "I am much stronger than that." Just then, they saw a man wearing a heavy coat. "We will both try to make this man take off his coat," said the sun. "Whoever succeeds will be the strongest."
The wind agreed to go first. He blew hard at the man, but it was no use. The man became cold and held onto his coat with both hands.
Then it was the sun's turn. He came out from behind a cloud and shone gently down on the man. The man smiled and took off his coat to enjoy the warm sunshine.
"You see?" asked the sun. "Kindness and gentleness are stronger than anything in the world."
一天，北風和太陽在爭論誰最強。“很明顯我是最強的，”北風說。“當我吹風時，樹枝折斷，驚濤拍岸。”
“那有啥，”太陽說。“我更強。”正在那時，他們看見一個人，這人穿著厚重的外套。“我們來爭取讓這個男人脫掉外套吧，”太陽說。“誰勝利了誰就最強。”
北風爭著先去了。他對著男人使勁的吹，但一點用也沒有。這個男人覺得冷了，然後兩手緊緊的抓住了外套。
這時輪到太陽了。他從一朵雲後露出頭來，然後溫柔的曬在男人身上。這個男人笑了，脫掉外套來享受陽光。
“看到了吧？”太陽說。“善良和溫柔在這個世界上是最強的。”
