The North Wind and the Sun 
    
    
      THE NORTH WIND and the Sun disputed as to which was the most
    powerful, and agreed that he should be declared the victor who
    could first strip a wayfaring man of his clothes.  The North Wind
    first tried his power and blew with all his might, but the keener
    his blasts, the closer the Traveler wrapped his cloak around him,
    until at last, resigning all hope of victory, the Wind called
    upon the Sun to see what he could do.  The Sun suddenly shone out
    with all his warmth.  The Traveler no sooner felt his genial rays
    than he took off one garment after another, and at last, fairly
    overcome with heat, undressed and bathed in a stream that lay in
    his path.
