The North Wind and the Sun

The North Wind and the Sun wanted to know who was stronger. They agreed to try to make a man take off his clothes.

The Wind went first. He blew hard, but the man held his cloak, a long coat, closer around him. The harder the Wind blew, the tighter the man held it. Finally, the Wind stopped trying.

Then the Sun shone warmly. The man became so hot that he took off all his clothes and washed in a small river.

It is better to get someone to agree than to make them do something.
