The Northwind and the Sun

The north wind and the sun were disputing which was the stronger, when a traveller came along wrapped in a warm cloak. They agreed that the one who first succeeded in making the traveller take his cloak off should be considered stronger than the other.

Then the north wind blew as hard as he could, but the more he blew the more closely did the traveller fold his cloak around him; and at last the north wind gave up the attempt.

Then the sun shone out warmly, and immediately the traveller took off his cloak. And so the north wind was obliged to confess that the sun was the stronger of the two.

Re-Translation into English

Northern Wind And Sun

The north wind and the sun are both strong, but they dis-consense as to who surpasses. A traveler comes along this place at this time. They agree to try to cause the traveler to stop wearing the cloak; that which is able surpasses.

And then the north wind begins to blow, but the traveller starts holding the cloak around himself; and the north wind blows extremely strongly, but the traveller holds the cloak holds the cloak around himself extremely strongly. The north wind blows with all its native strength, but the traveller likewise holds the cloak around himself with all his native strength. At last, the north wind says, pained, that it cannot cause the traveller to remove the cloak.

And then the sun shone warmly, and the traveller doffed the cloak straightaway (extraordinarily soon). Therefore the north wind was obligated to agree that the sun surpassed.
