The north wind and the sun are good friends. But one day they quarrel about something.
" I am stronger than you," the cold north wind says. " Indeed you are not. I'm stronger than you," answers the soft, warm sun.
Just then they see a man walking along the road.
" I can get that man's hat off his head," the wind says.
" I can get that man's hat off his head, too." answers the sun.
" Then let's see who can get the man's hat off his head," says the wind. "The one who can do that first is stronger."
"OK! You try it first," says the soft, warm sun.
"All right!" So the north wind begins to blow. But the harder the wind blows, the tighter the man holds his hat and coat. The wind can't make him take them off.
" It is my turn now." the sun says. So the sun comes out and shines down warmly upon the man.
The man feels hot. He takes off his hat first, and then even his coat.
" That's enough! You are stronger than I." the wind says.
北风和太阳是好朋友。但有一天他们为了一点小事争吵起来。
“我比你强壮，”寒冷的北风说。“这是不对的，应该我比你强壮，”温柔温暖的太阳回答。
就在这时，他们看到一个男人在路上走。
“我能把那人的帽子从他头上摘下来,”风说。
“我也能把那人的帽子摘下来。”太阳回答。
“那我们看看谁能把那人的帽子从他头上摘下来。”风说。"能先做到的人就更强了"
"好吧！“你先试试吧，”温暖而柔软的太阳说。
"好吧！"所以北风开始吹了。但是风越刮越大，那人就越紧地抓着他的帽子和外套。风不能让他把它们脱掉。
“现在轮到我了。”太阳说。于是太阳出来，温暖地照在人的身上。
这人觉得很热。他先摘下帽子，然后再脱下外套。
“够了!“风说：“你的确比我更强大。”
