Once upon a time the North Wind told the Sun that he was stronger than him. The Sun disagreed. They decided to make a bet. The North Wind said: «If you make that traveller take off his coat, I will prove that you are stronger».
The North Wind decided to show how strong and fierce he could be. The North Wind started blowing hard. It was freezing cold, the trees in the forest were bending over, and the traveller put on his fur hat and gloves. The Wind blew even harder, so that trees broke, but the man only wrapped the coat closely around him to keep warm.
The Sun smiled and began to shine. The traveller felt pleasant warmth and took off his hat. The Sun kept shining and finally the man stopped and took off his coat.
The Sun said: «Kindness can always do more than anger and force».
