SESSION 4
STORY – THE SUN AND THE WIND
Once the wind and the sun had an argument between themselves as to who was
stronger of the two. The wind claimed that it was stronger than the Sun, whereas,
the Sun asserted that it was more powerful than the wind. Neither of two was ready
to accept the supremacy of the other. Finally, both of them consented to do
something to prove their point.
Just then, they saw a man going on the road. The Sun got an idea and it said to the
wind, “Let’s test our strength on that man. Whosoever can make him to take off his
coat, shall be considered the winner.” The wind immediately agreed and asked the
Sun to hide itself behind the clouds. The wind then started blowing with full force.
But, the harder the wind blew, the tighter the man held his coat against him.
The wind kept on blowing until it was exhausted, but it could not remove the coat
from the man’s back.
It was now the Sun’s turn. It gently shone its beams upon the traveler. The man felt
so warm that he took off his coat. Thus, the Sun won the competition.
