modern times. "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 Traveller 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 Traveller 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. [Moral:] Persuasion is better
than Force." From
