  • The wind and the Sun a Version of the tale by the fable cottage.com The wind and the Sun are having a disagreement I Am the most powerful says the wind no.

  • I am the most powerful says the Sun I Can blow trees to the ground Brags the wind I can push ships across the ocean I can make hurricanes and tornadoes Is that right?

  • replies the Sun Well, I can melt all the snow on the mountains.

  • I Can dry up an entire lake?

  • I?

  • Can make a pavement so hot that it cooks an egg?

  • Just then they see a man walking along the road in his winter jacket Let's have a contest to see who is more powerful says the wind Whoever can remove the man's jacket first wins the Sun agrees The wind goes first He blows a gust of cold wind at the man The man shivers and zips up his jacket Brr, what a cold and windy day It starts to rain The wind blows even harder and turns the rain into snow Well, look at that.

  • It's snowing says the man Snow wasn't in the weather forecast today He pulls his hood over his head The wind blows his strongest gust towards the man, but the man's jacket stays on Hmm it's a bit fresh today He says a winter storm must be coming He zips the jacket higher to cover his nose Yeah, this is impossible Says the wind he stops blowing My turn says the Sun First the Sun shines enough to stop the snow The man unzips his hood Then the Sun pulls the clouds apart and gently shines down on the man Suddenly it is a beautiful spring day Wow, the weather sure is strange around here says the man he unzips his jacket The Sun gently wiggles her fingers and increases the temperature What strange weather now it feels like summer the man says as he begins to sweat Goodness me.

  • It's so hot He removes his winter jacket he lies down on the grass for a nap in the warm Sun I Win says the Sun beaming Moral sometimes warmth and gentleness can achieve more than strength and force
