Completing Story: The Sun & The Wind || Gentleness is Better Than Force.

# It was an autumn day. The wind and the sun had an argument. The wind boasted "I am stronger than you." The sun mildly said, "No. you are not". Just then, they saw a traveler wrapped in a blanket was passing by. The wind said, "Whoever separates the blanket from traveler is the stronger. Do you agree?" The sun replied, "OK. First you try." The wind started blowing. The traveler wrapped his blanket around him. He blew harder. The traveler held his blanket firmer. He blew still harder. The traveler held his blanket still tighter. The harder the wind blew the tighter and firmer did the traveler held his blanket. The wind failed. It was the Sun's turn. The sun smiled gently at the traveler. The traveler loosened his grip on the blanket. The sun smiled warmly. The traveler felt the warmth and soon took off the blanket. The sun was declared stronger.

# Once there arose a quarrel between the sun and the wind. Each of them claimed to be stronger than the other. They saw a traveler along the road. He was wearing a coat. They decided that one who could make traveler take off his coat, would be the stronger. The wind tried first. It began to blow. By-and-by it gained speed. The traveler felt cold. The traveler said, “How cold it is! Let me tighten up my coat.” Thus, the wind failed. Now it was the turn of the sun. It began to shine brightly. It grew hot. The traveler said, “What change!” He perspired from head to foot. He took off his coat. Thus, the sun was the winner.
