The Wind and the Sun

2011-07-15T13:04:00.003+12:00

Have you ever wondered what “The wind and the sun is all about”?

Many years ago the wind said to the sun: “I am stronger than you.” A traveller was passing by wearing a cloak. The wind tried to blow the cloak off but the man held it tighter. The sun shone brightly and the man took off his cloak off.

The sun proved to be stronger than the wind.
