The Sun and the Wind
Солнце и Ветер.

The Sun and the Wind once had a quarrel as to which was the strongest. Each believed himself to be the most powerful. While they were arguing they saw a traveller walking along the country highway, wearing a big cloak.

«Here is a chance to test our strength», said the Wind; «Let us see which of us is strong enough to make that traveller take off his cloak.»

«Agreed», answered the Sun. The Wind began to blow and raised a storm of hail and rain. But the colder it grew and the more it stormed, the tighter the traveller held his cloak around him.

Now it was the Sun’s turn. He shone with all his beams on the man’s shoulders. As it became hotter and hotter, the man unfastened his cloak; then he took it off! The Sun won.

Перевод: Однажды Солнце и Ветер поспорили о том, кто из них сильнее. Каждый считал себя самым могущественным. Пока они спорили, они увидели путника, идущего по загородному шоссе в большом плаще.

«Вот возможность испытать нашу силу», — сказал Ветер. «Посмотрим, кто из нас достаточно силён, чтобы заставить этого путника снять плащ».

«Согласен», — ответило Солнце. Ветер начал дуть и поднял бурю с градом и дождём. Но чем холоднее становилось и чем сильнее бушевала буря, тем крепче путник держал свой плащ.

Теперь настала очередь Солнца. Оно засияло всеми своими лучами на плечи человека. Когда становилось всё жарче и жарче, человек расстегнул плащ, а затем снял его. Солнце победило.

Ответ: 1) strongest; 2) himself; 3) most powerful; 4) were arguing; 5) saw; 6) walking; 7) said; 8) began; 9) colder; 10) was; 11) became; 12) hotter; 13) hotter; 14) took; 15) won.
